Gaining Ground

[One For Sorrow]

• What is going to happen in your plot?
  
  Alastair Valkyrion will spearhead an operation to establish a base of operations on Dathomir and nearby planets, both to expand Old Empire territory and to control at least a portion of the Veragi Trade route
  
• What other players will be a part of this?
  Anyone who signs up
  
• Where are all the places (if more than one) that your plot will be taking place?
  
  Dantooine, Bastion, Mygeeto, Gravlex Med
  
• Please provide a basic in-character timeline of what you expect to happen.
  
  Threads 1-4: A team will shut down on and off world communications on Dantooine, Bastion, Mygeeto, and Gravlex Med. stopping the planets from crying for help or organizing themselves to defend. (Dice)
  
  Threads 5-8: larger teams will go to each planet and destabilize planetary governments, allowing the empire to sweep in and take control.
  
• What do you or your character hope to achieve with this plot? What is the "end-game"?
  
  To establish an area of Old Empire territory on the oposite side of the map, allowing us to expand further in that area.
  
• Do you need any involvement of canon NPCs or faction leaders to be DMed by a staff member? If so, please detail who/what and for what purpose.
  
  None that I can think of.

I very nearly rejected this plot outright.

As it is I still don't like this plot at all.

• Two threads to take over large planets is insultingly little effort, especially ones not even in the same sector
• Your first lot of threads is very uncreative and not tailored to each planet - I would hate to see, essentially, copy and paste openers and posts with the names swapped because you're attacking them all in identical ways
• Your second lot of threads have no stated level of opposition
• You haven't explained WHY the old empire needs these planets. Arbitrary conquest isn't a viable reason for an empire made up of hundreds if not thousands of planets

PENDING

In fact, disregarding the obvious flaws with this submission, this isn't a plot I would get behind. These planets have no real reason for such efforts and a war is currently ongoing. Jedi/Rebels/Mandos, these should be where the focus of the faction lies, not trade routes we don't need. In addition, there is a faction shaping event happening that will have a huge impact on where the story goes from here. @One For Sorrow I would suggest waiting till it concludes and remember to run these things by the FLs.

With your FL not supporting this either I'm going to go ahead and reject this plot

Please make sure all faction plots are in line with the FL's wishes
