A Jedi Skype chat'd be pretty cool. Besides, I have a fluffy rabbit distribution program that must be discussed immediately.

@the Songweaver & SoB's comments

Militarizing is what killed the Jedi ICly before the time skip, its not in their nature to ever become a standing army and we see this through canon history with the fall of the Jedi shortly afterwards. The biggest thing I am pushing for the faction is never to reach that point. We have or will have the help of other factions that were meant to become a military force, ie the Rebels, and therefore by aligning with them the Order will be able to assist in attacks and battle with better preparation and support.

Everyone is more than welcome to write up on what exactly we have ship wise or equipment wise (with FL approval first), but I guarantee we won’t be engaging in any individual large scale battles without the outside assistance of other factions. If the Sith do attack the temples, which is a high possibility, because they do know where the Jedi are (ICly only the Dark Council knows btw), the Jedi will be required to flee, they will be vastly outnumbered regardless and it will be suicidal if they attempted to hold the temples. No one should be viewing the temples as ever a safe place, its definitely temporary refuge, but in the big scale of things, ICly the Grand Master does know they could be compromised at any time, which is what we’re starting to see with missing padawans. There are missions currently being conducted to investigate what is happening, as well as missions going to which the Jedi are looking for new places to fall back on if anything were to happen to their current locations.

However, if you guys feel better with an actual contingency plan written out, I will be more than happy to do so. Ship write ups I don’t know how to do or even how to get started, so if anyone else wants to volunteer to do some, PM me so we talk about what would be appropriate to have in the convoys.

Im down with helping with the ships. I wanted my character to get a little more involved in piloting anyways. And my opinion wasn't on militarizing the order but rather have more obvious sections ready to mobilize. Similar to having the Rangers, maybe we could scrap together a defense fleet, a few large ships and a squadron or two of fighters, that way if the sith do come we have something to escape with. Think of it like the Battlestar Galactica fleeing with passenger craft. We would/will need some extra defense.
I dont think we should militarize, but maybe get an idea of how we can help the rebels or anyone opposed to the Sith? Maybe a squadron or two of fighters for space combat, and a group of dedicated guards similar to the Rangers would help. I love thinking/strategizing things like this, despite my low-ranked padawan i would love to help with any of these large scale faction...thingies.:CSly

I tend to agree that we could use some contingency planning, not for preparing a military, but to avoid what happened to the Hutts at Thyferra or some of the Mandalorians. We should have plans in place for if (when) our temples are discovered and attacked. Anoth has the Light of the Force, which I expect will be integral for any escape attempt since it has the shielding to take a serious pounding and we probably can't just sacrifice it to make an escape (or maybe they'd never expect that and it'd be brilliant!).

For example, I notice that the Light of the Force writeup mentions "Operation Tailwind" but is vague on the actual capacity of the supporting ships. I think Songweaver and SoB are talking about detailing equipment like that so when the sh** hits the fan we know what we're doing.


Edit: Also, are those Rogue-Class fighters listed in the Light of the Force writeup the wookieepedia version or is there a site version?

I'm not sure if you'd prefer to put this discussion in a thread dedicated specifically to contingency planning as opposed to the suggestion thread.

I agree a contingency thread is now need for us to discuses it. Maybe it will lead to a few missions such has getting new ships, safe area to flea to extra extra.

Not sure if this has been brought up before or not but I thought I would post my idea. I've seen an inordinate amount of "Master seeking Padawan" and "Padawan seeking Master" threads, and posted a few myself. What I was thinking we could do is have a single thread where Padawans post a small bio (Example below). Then Masters and Knights can peruse those listings and pick the one that most closely suits their character's skill set. I feel this would cut down on a lot of the OOC clutter that plagues the Jedi and Sith factions. Here's the example of a posting a Padawan would place in the thread:

Name: Ann
Link: Link
Skills learned: Force Barrier, Telekinesis, Force Jump......
Lightsaber Form Learned: Form VI: Jar'Kai
Skills wishing to learn: Lightning, Mind Alter.....
Lightsaber Form wishing to learn: Form VI Niman
Personality (2-5 sentences): Ann is headstrong, impatient, and straightforward. She still has a lot of maturing to do, but she learned a lot in her few years and is doing her best to conform to the model Jedi.
Extra Info(2-5 sentences): Grew up among the Order. Parents killed on Coruscant. Love Ugnaughts.
Master: (None, Arikka-Mar, Knighted)

I believe this will genuinely help clean up the OOC section of the NJO as well as keep Padawan's threads from being buried. It would also provide as a good resource for Master's looking for Padawans. For instance Gaba posted a thread a few weeks ago looking for Padawans, instead of holding a sign-up, I'm sure it would have been easier for her to look through a thread where Padawans have already posted the information Gaba was asking for. Then when an Master chooses a Padawan the User will go back, edit their post to add the name of the Master who chose them. This way, Masters who look for a Padawan in the future don't accidentaly contact a Padawan who has already been taken. Then when a Padawan is knighted they can edit their post again to reflect their change in status.

To avoid clutter in the "Padawan Sign-up Thread" Masters will be asked to PM/VM any Padawans they wish to tutor instead of posting the sign-up thread; as contacting the User directly will garner more attention then posting in the sign-up thread. Let me know what you guys think.

((Please don't misunderstand my intentions, I already have a master. This is not me seeking attention and trying to find a master, this is a genuine suggestion for a way to clean up the OOC clutter and consolidate all the Padawans looking for a Master into a single thread to make Master-Padawan pairing more easy.))

I genuinely like your idea Spacer. Perhaps I might be able to suggest a slight difference? How would this go....each submission would be added into a main set of posts, perhaps alphabetical. An admin or appointed person does the adding and deletes the post by the member. This would give an even more stream lined effect and give a centralized list to make it easier for all. Thoughts?

(sorry if I have bad grammar or typos, i'm on my phone at work atm.)

That's a good idea. It would require the FL or AFL's monitoring and add to their work load; but it would be a 'cleaner' version of my proposal. However my idea didn't have any need for monitoring and updating from leadership; but wouldn't be as 'tidy' as what you proposed. It's a trade off that the leadership would have to consider. If they don't mind putting in a little extra work your idea is very good. But if they don't want one more thing to manage my idea would be better; though less organized. Thanks for the feedback. I think your proposal would make my idea much more organized and I hope the leadership takes your idea into consideration.

((Please excuse the rambling a of a half asleep man.))

We used to have a board like at the beginning of the timeline, I'll have to ask what the reasons for the change because I don't honestly remember. It was fairly a while ago.

However, do please keep in mind that padawans will always outnumber Knights and Masters in the Order. I believe just the other day we counted about 51 padawans on the roster, and that is usually the norm of how its been most of the timeline. So the one-on-one training will always hold a bit of competition.

Perhaps though what we need to do is go back and reevaluate what is being asked of padawans when the post for Master requests. We will definitely look into this!

Sounds good. My main 'concern' is that nearly all those Padawans are posting individual threads and clogging the OOC and I think that could be better managed. Let me know what you find out

So the one-on-one training will always hold a bit of competition.

So I've had an idea that could help this a bit. If we had NPC Jedi Masters that are only meant for training, two or more padawans could do a thread together and learn something together. This would enable padawans to gain the kind of training or force abilities that they desire their character to learn without also learning things they don't want to learn. This would also mean that a group of padawans can do training threads without the necessity of spending a few days trying to find someone to teach them. The NPC Jedi Masters would only be used for training threads, and each would be able to teach basic abilities but also more advanced abilities as well. Requirements would simply be that at least two or more padawans take part and a third party has to approve the thread once it is complete, before that padawan can list the ability or training on the PC profile.

For instance, have one such NPC at every location where the Jedi have an outpost, enclave, or otherwise. Each NPC would be able to teach the basic force abilities, but each would also specialize in a particular field. One be specialized in healing, meditation, and such, while another is specialized in stealth and sensory abilities.​

So the NJO Newsletter has informed that the jedi will be leaving their outposts on Naboo and Lamaredd ASAP. Rather than sending in my ideas via pm, I thought I would see if anyone is keen on my ideas first. ICly I would never be able to propose any if this so the ideas are strictly OOC for me at least.

Possible Outpost Locations:

Rodia: The Rodian's are an interesting people who can be tricky to deal with. They could make jedi presence a true endeavor trying to figure out if the Rodian's will keep their presence safe. With such an interesting terrain of the planet, there are a laundry list of missions possible.

Hoth: This is my personal favorite because who didn't love the rebel base on Hoth? It is desolate and highly isolated. I'm sure there are remnants of the hundreds of years old rebel base. Making it hospitable for the jedi could prove highly interesting. Freezing temperatures, vicious wampas...what's not to like?

Malastare: Last but not least, I am going to recommend Malastare. It is centrally located and would be a good starting point for any necessary jedi to be quick responders against the imperium near borders. If that is not enough, the Dug and Gran people could end up pitted against each other, and it is up to the jedi to solve this Cold War...just spit balling

These are just some of the top places I thought of when hearing we need new outposts. Other planets that came to mind were:

Ryloth
Kamino: Which I believe is just outside of the Hutt border
Cerea

How about a derelict ship or station in deep space?
