Hey everybody,
Thought I'd post here with a brief run down of the Hutt plan that I hope to see to fruition. I've talked to a few of you outside of the forum about it, but so far here's the plan-
The Hutt Empire will attack Denon (a major trade hub) and Bothuwai (just to get it out of the way). They will have the assistance of the Bogan and the Taung, so the Republic should use S13 and the Jedi to counter.
Because I'm trying to use every available PC (approximately 15), two threads is too small. At most I'd like four PCs per side in a thread, with a somewhat rigid posting order (and a two day timer before your post is skipped). Right now, the threads I plan on launching are:
Bothuwai Campaign: In Bothan Space, it would make sense IC for the Republic to be outnumbered. Their forces would be minimal, since Bothuwai is so far from the Core and is in general an unexpected target. It would not have many Jedi at one time, so this would have to be primarily a Republic/S13 defense.
Orbital Battle- A massive space battle takes place between a line of brand-new Hutt warships and the Bothan Defenses. Since the Bothans have a decent vessel with the Bothan Assault Cruiser and good shipyards, it would be the Bothans/Republic protecting the planet and shipyards. In this, I'll be using warships and starfighters, but I assume that boarding actions could take place.
Land Battle 1- An elite Strike Force lands to capture the major Republic HQ on Bothuwai. Used in this thread by the Hutts would be Darksaber Squadron, a primarily Bogan composed group.
Land Battle 2- Hutt Spear Squadron will be invading the Bothan Shipyards in an attempt to seize their assets before they can be destroyed.
Land Battle 3- Hutt Axe Squadron will be landing on-planet to assault the Bothan capital.
Attack on Denon: Since Denon is a trade world and relatively close to the Core, Jedi/Republic presence would be heavier. It is generally considered a 'safe' planet, but the Hutts recently captured Iktotch and can leap from there. The Hutts will use Mandalorians, Bogan, and standard troops.
Orbital Battle- The Hutt Fleet (using other assets) will hold off Republic reinforcements from the Core while the ground forces secure key locations. They will be assisted by the Bogan.
Land Battle 1- The Taung, having acted as the spearhead of the operation, will secure planetary defense batteries to turn against the Republic. They will be assisted by the Bogan to counter Jedi intervention.
Land Battle 2- Hutt Saber Squadron will be fighting the major Republic forces on planet to secure starports, civil stations, and supply storage depots. They may be assisted by the Bogan.

Does all this sound doable? I know I'm shooting high, but it's much better than shooting low, and if it doesn't work then at least we've tried.
