We need to hold a proper council of what exactly we want to do when and where. We have 20 years til lthe Vong show up, Someone should post a complete timeline of the EU threw the Arrival if the Vong, we should look at exactly where we want to interfere, and where we want to leave things alone. I know alot are itching to stop Palas or some such things, but I am still with Kujas original idea of for the most part, staying isolationist from main events, less we screw things up..

Robots of the universe unite. You have nothing to lose but the organic squishies!

More seriously I start up mass automated manufacturing, keep my head down until you guys figure out if you are going to kill each other or work together and if you fail to cooperate find out how to use hyperspace guns against the Vong fleet. 20 years for my gunners to practice

You guys can have your hookers or booze- I intend to reshape the galaxy. Dyson spheres, minds, virtual reality, the full use of the technology they have... the galaxy is about to change.

[Crossroads Inc.]

Oh please.. what Robots? What automated manufacturing do you? You have 2000 posts, You are going to either join up with a faction or slowly be destroyed

[Themightytom]

Which I take to the maw installation, in order to claim the prototype death star and the sun crusher (Which may or may not be compeleted I forget.).

I expect your crew will rebel when you order them into it without any navigational information.

You could maybe find the route with repeated use of probots, but it could easily take a very, very long time indeed.

I will stop off at kessel and find Kyp Durron, he will be grateful to me for having rescued him, and I can have him pilot a shuttle with a command crew to make sure he doesn't decide to try running off. Grabbing maw early is the best way to prepare for the Vong and to survive the galactic turmoil ahead. With that particular combination of weaponry I could go looking for Thrawn in the unknown regions and he would be nigh unstoppable. he probably wouldn't favor the use of the Centerpoint or Deathstar, but knowing the Vong will be bringing worldships with them, he will want at least the superlaser technology.

[avatarxprime]

Speaking of Thrawn related shenanigans, I'd go ahead and track down Captain Hoffner and get my hands on the Katana Fleet before anyone else. That should make a nice supplement to my forces and considering the cloning abilities provided in the OP I will have sufficient crew for them soon enough.

Arrival of the Vong

As you can see, some of those books have events contained therein that have no real lasting consequences on a galactic scale. Others are the exact opposite. I included them all for completeness and because my interpretation of what constitutes an important event might differ from others.

[weemadando]

I believe that the PRFY once the booze, cigars and redheads have been secured will be more than happy to move on to "Operation Ear Fuck The Vong".

Samuel's little robo-utopia will also be hunted down and exterminated. We've all seen the Terminator movies...

[Themightytom]

I see you have decided NOT to count down from the arrival of Darth Caedous :-p

[avatarxprime]

Speaking of Thrawn related shenanigans, I'd go ahead and track down Captain Hoffner and get my hands on the Katana Fleet before anyone else. That should make a nice supplement to my forces and considering the cloning abilities provided in the OP I will have sufficient crew for them soon enough.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck I forgot about that one

*cheesy announcer guy voice*Aaaaaannnnddd that's not all*cheesy announcer guy voice* Considering I have access to Ysalamir I can go ahead and take Mount Tantiss from C'Baoth in a move similar to Thrawn. Given his role in Thrawn's later campaign C'Baoth can continue doing what he wants, but I'll take all the tech and use it as bargaining with Thrawn when the time eventually comes. I can also use the Caamas Document copy there and leverage that info against a position of power within the New Republic or whatever the best play seems to be at the time.

[Karmic Knight]

Me and my small amount of resources are siding with Operation Ear-Fuck the Vong, giving them another Star Destroyer and support craft group. I am against major changes to the timeline, as that breaks one of our strengths, a rough knowledge of the future.

[Crossroads Inc.]

I believe that the PRFY once the booze, cigars and redheads have been secured will be more than happy to move on to "Operation Ear Fuck The Vong".

Sounds like an excellent idea. Perhaps you can compile a list of the 'active' members of PRFY that have posted in the thread so we can evaluate our combined forces.

Samuel's little robo-utopia will also be hunted down and exterminated. We've all seen the Terminator movies...

Agreed, His forces are either doomed to failure or will eb assimilated into a larger facation...

Also EXCELLENT Work to Lord Relvenous, we need to go down the list and make points of where we need to stay out of things and where we "MIGHT" wnat to get involved.. for the most part we hsould be able to simply stay out of the way of things.

As I said when White Haven originally proposed, I pledge to this coalition with the ISD Arcadia, the Acclamators Oberth, Goddard and Tsiolkovsky and these Lancer frigates. Spoiler

Musai, Valkirye, Falmel, Camel, Swamel, Kuwamel, Tokumel, Primus, Baromel, Remul, Brave, Siegfried, Musaka, Chivvay, Zanzibar, Kerguelen, Madagascar, Gwazine, Dolos, Dolowa

Also, I propose we create a force of B2 battledroid or something similar to battle the Vong. Given their dislike for droids, a force of battledroids should distract some of them in ground battles, and I tend to consider them more expendable than our clonetroopers...

[Karmic Knight]

Here is my opinion about the Operation Ear Fuck the Vong response to each of these novel’s events:

T-Minus 21 years
Tales from Jabba's Palace
The Bounty Hunter Wars
-The Mandalorian Armor
-Slave Ship
-Hard Merchandise
The Truce at Bakura

The ‘bounty hunter wars’ takes place in what I believe was mostly a flashback, so its events really can’t and shouldn’t be paid any mind, unless we want to murder Boba Fett on principle we should ignore the events.
The Truce of Bakura was pretty meaningless in a greater galactic picture, and other groups will be shooting at each other and the NR task force so this should be dodged with only a cursory glance at the carnage.

T-Minus 20 years
Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor

Nothing to influence here, and no real reason to pay it any heed.

T-Minus 18.5 years
X-Wing
-Rogue Squadron
-Wedge's Gamble
-The Kryptos Trap
-The Bacta War
-Wraith Squadron
-Iron Fist
-Solo Command

The Isard Campaign: Nothing really of note, other than the New Republican capture of Coruscant happens in this campaign, and that doesn't have a major effect on us.
The Zsinj Campaign: The Actions we are shown in the novels are to small scale to allow for a proper dissection of the events for me to give an informed opinion, though Zsinj's trade empire, using a large number of false names would be a good starting place for ways to turn the man's empire to our advantage in the turmoil of the battles that ended the series.

T-Minus 17 years
The Courtship of Princess Leia

Simply Taking out Zsinj while he is reeling from the loss of the Second Death would allow us to pick up a bit of the pieces of his former Empire to power our war machine as we prepare for the Vong.

T-Minus 16 years
The Thrawn Trilogy
-Heir to the Empire
-Dark Force Rising
-The Last Command

The Thrawn Trilogy, going to be already influenced by other members of this scenario, and will possibly be changed significantly from its canon state. I cannot commit to any greater idea of the changes based on the current information and cannot see how to twist the events to satisfy personal annoyance, or turn toward the greater goal of Ear Fucking the Vong.

X-Wing: Isard's Revenge

Echoing what I have said previously, nothing to influence here.

T-Minus 14 years
I, Jedi
The Jedi Academy Trilogy
-Jedi Search
-Dark Apprentice
-Champions of the Force

As before, nothing to influence. Also it may be fundamentally changed as with the Thrawn Campaign due to outside interference.

T-Minus 13 years
Children of the Jedi
Darksaber
Planet of Twilight
X-Wing: Starfighters of Adumar
T-Minus 11 years
The Crystal Star

None of these events are major enough to warrant our attention, unless we want to take out high profile targets.

T-Minus 9 years
The Black Fleet Crisis Trilogy
-Before the Storm
-Shield of Lies
-Tyrant's Nest

This entire series of events, minus the internal New Republican squabble can be prevented if we can move enough force to the Koornacht Cluster and prevent the capture of the fleet. The internal squabble can also be used to promote 'hawkish' candidates in areas that we can exert influence over, assuming we want the New Republic to not fold like a house of cards when the Vong appear.

T-Minus 8 years
The New Rebellion

Also, not major enough to warrant attention.

T-Minus 7 years
The Corellian Trilogy
-Ambush at Corellia
-Assault at Selonia
-Showdown at Centerpoint

Nothing to really influence.

T-Minus 6 years
The Hand of Thrawn Duology
-Specter of the Past
-Vision of the Future

The Caamas Document Crisis will be significantly altered from its state in the novels, from the numerous attempts to change the earlier Thrawn Campaign, and the people attempting to simply rob the storehouse, the Crisis may not rear its head, though a similar crisis may take place with a different catalyst. Either Way, this period of instability would be the best time to attempt to change the direction the governmental trends in the areas of our influence are with the goal of moving away from decentralization that the New Republic was big on in order to allow them to provide a more reliable second line of defence against the Vong.

T-Minus 2 years
Junior Jedi Knight and Young Jedi Knight series

Nothing to Influence.

[weemadando]

How possible would it be, following a collective curb-stomp of the Ssi-Ruuk to convince Thrawn that the YV threat is serious enough that he needs to start prepping for it now, even if it does mean breaking some immediate loyalties? Can we in fact draw him and some of hte other major players into a coalition with a goal of bringing it to the YV pre-emptively?

[Darth Yoshi]

According to the SW wiki, we have 8 mos until the Yevetha revolt. I recommend blitzing the Imperial assets just as the Yevetha begin their revolt. Disable as many of the ships as we can for later capture and refit. Otherwise we'd have to deal with the Imperials, and I doubt they'd cooperate with us either. I'll volunteer my fleet to keeping watch for the Imperial order to retreat from the region.

Preemptive as in a preemptive strike on the incoming world-ships, or as in a coalition formed before they get here?

As for Byss, can we even get there? IIRC, the Deep Core has similar conditions to the Maw. Securing Byss and Palpatine's other hidden assets would be a whole lot easier if we had a Force adept or two. Hm, a visit to Dathomir might be in order, although granted the Witches might be too much trouble to integrate.

[Starglider]

Can I trade my whole fleet for a copy of the Arc Hammer this time?

[weemadando]

I'll admit, I haven't read the YV series, but if the collected forces of the New Republic/Remnant/PRFY were to drop out of hyperspace in ambush of the inbound YV world-ships, I can't imagine the YV having a goddamn chance against that much firepower. After all we'd be talking well into the tens of thousands of ISDs, multiple SSDs and enough other craft to form a solid wall across the YV's intended path.

My choice here would be to wipe out the Yevetha before they can take over, they are too great a threat and can and will fight to the last man. Jump in with a fleet that out guns Black Sword Command significantly, convince the commander of the ship yard to turn over command to us, take the assets from the Imperials and then glass the planet for the greater good.

[lord Martiya]

We could also use the chaos from the revolt to snatch away the Intimidator and other ships from the Black Fleet, specially the other two SSD and the interdictor.

[Darth Nostril]

I pledge my meagre forces to Operation Ear Fuck the Vong.
First thing to do is scoot on over to Kessel & back up Tom in the aquisition of the Maw Installation, at this time Kessel is I believe still under Imperial control, and there is the small matter of four ISDs holding station inside the Maw itself.
Our combined forces, guided by Kyp Durron, and attacking with the element of total surprise will have no trouble securing the Installation.
Primary objective is securing the scientists & database, unfortunately the Death Star prototyope does not have a hyperdrive and will have to be destroyed, indeed the entire installation will have to be vaped to prevent anyone else getting their grubby mitts on it.
Secondary objective is chucking that viscious little shit Daala out of an airlock if she managed to survive the brutal surprise attack on her "fleet".
Then Operation Ear Fuck has the next two decades to use the information recovered from the database to prepare a nice welcoming surprise for the Vong.
Doubt we'll be building any Death Stars but some nice shiny superlasers spread throughout the fleet will make them wish they'd never come to this particular galaxy.

[Starglider]

Our combined forces, guided by Kyp Durron, and attacking with the element of total surprise will have no trouble securing the Installation.

Kyp Durron is going to work with you why? You are cruising around in Star Destroyers and clearly have zero command experience (or general experience of the SW galaxy). You look like random loser imperial remnants and there's no particular reason why the New Republic would trust you, or indeed Durron would trust you with the Maw Installation's impressive collection of superweapons.

Doubt we'll be building any Death Stars but some nice shiny superlasers spread throughout the fleet will make them wish they'd never come to this particular galaxy.

Capturing the partly-completed Eclipse sounds like a more practical approach; unlike the Maw it's actually accessible without a force-user to divine the route in, and if a pathetic crime lord (Zhan) managed to capture it, a decent force of ISDs should be able to take the whole shipyard. If they built one superlaser-equipped SSD, I'm sure they can build more.

If I have to start with 6 bots and a scrapheap...

Well, if I do have an Arc Hammer then I will help. The YVH 1s were very effective against Vong infantry in the later stages of the war, so developing them immediately and having them available at the start should help end it quickly.

[Crossroads Inc.]

Ok It looks like those with good EU knowledge are currently hashing out the list of what to do and what not to do throughout the course of the of EU timeline till the vong, Things need to be properly organized on the home front.

According to the OP, we have "about twenty five systems with habitable planets that exists on the Outer Rim" Now, while the rest of you are working out where to muck up the timeline... Others of us have to work on A massively important thing, Logistics... We are going to have eventually well over a hundred ISD's, with a crew of around 40,000 Thats right away almost 4,000,000, and that is not even counting the hundreds upon hundreds of smaller ships we'll have in our fleet.

We are going to need to set up Titanic food production, procure HyperMatter fuel processing plants and storehouses as well as gather facilities to build our own Manufacturing centers for Ammo, goods, arms and other daily essentials.

WHile we are told we have 25 star systems along the outter rim, we arn't given a list of planets. We need to scout out all worlds and immediately begin to set up planetary production facilities on the best of them using our massive fleet of Acclamators to transport resources, We'll need to set up Immense mining colonies as well then ore processing ((this is were snipping a WorldDevastator would come in handy))
