Yes, and when they use their overabundance of military might and greed to start raiding other worlds? When they start raiding minor Republic members?

Well...yeah. Isn't that the point, that it's a problem for anyone who happens to go nearby?
And it can be your problem, though you might possibly turn it to your advantage. If you run into an ISD, I don't think you could take it on (so, you run). If you can negotiate with (and trust) one of the warlords, you can get a supplier, fence, and possibly hidey-hole. If one of them stumbles onto your base with an ISD, you no longer have a base. Also, it means you probably can't go raiding in whatever areas they control, and raiding around those areas is probably a risk.

Im not to worried about a patroling ISD except in Imperial Reminant space or the Coreworlds. They're big expensive battleships. if the local warlord is going to do any patroling, it'll be more cost effective to use smaller ships like the ones I've been adding to the OGG.

Heretic, quit focusing on minor details.
Its alternate Universe. If we wanted to, we can turn Han Solo into a Hutt. Not that we would, but we can.
Focus on your character's development. I'm starting to regret you asking for force sensitivity for the lack of interest you're showing in it...
edit: In SOTF, what the hell just happened? How did you just defeat 16,000 mandelorians and a warship with several hundred B-2 battledroids and a couple freighters?
please explain how a planet suddenly has a warfleet of armored battleships and defensive satelites. As well as anti-air capabilities. Mustafar has only the things it created twenty years ago, it was pretty much a dead planet, and within hours, its got a force strong enough to repel half a NR fleet?

The greatest Force Masters are those who can easily resist the need to use it.
at any rate, I added the Ship I raided in the RP to the OGG, despite it being completely fabricated by myself.

Cale: Yes, that is true. You should not need the force. But then again, Chidee isn't even doing anything atall with the force. He isn't getting angry, no hate, no greed, no malice, nothing evil even.
He could be an NFU and let someone else be the apprentice with the emotion he's showing.

Hmm. I see your point. But then again we haven't got that many players to go around. We could have it that Drako returns and in his rage, destroys Chidee's connection to the force. The only problem with that is that that ability is strictly a light side power, and one that hasn't been used in over 4000 years.
anything else you want me to add to the OGG while I'm updating Nelo?

I'll be doing the nebulon ranger and several other ships later.
Put in an article on the Endurance-class fleet Cruiser. That'll give you something to marvel at...
Actually, to be honest, if you wanted to do a nice series of entries, try doing different parts of the GAR.
But i think you're not into that, so eh.

Uh, Heretic brought the balance of his forces with him to Mustafar. It is going to be his capital, after all. That's not just a couple of freighters. As for B2s, he doesn't use B2s; they're more than two decades old. Sure, there might be some lying around, but those have been zero-maintenence since the end of the Clone Wars. As for the anti-air capabilities, sure, he's got none of the heavy stuff, but a lot of the smaller things (though, those would be mostly ground-to-ground/ground-to-atmo) are eh, more or less prefab, no? As for the satelites, fine, forget the satelites; they don't matter. I was just saying whatever happened to be online at the time.
As for the Force users...sheesh, it doesn't seem like there's much call to use the Force. Besides, this guy is low-ranked in the Force, barely a Padawan, no? It wouldn't do to be flinging s**t around, no? As for why I wanted to be a Force-User, you're the one who said that the story revolves around them; that they're generally the ones who have things happen.
As for your comment in "Wookie, Ewok, or Gugan", my response is that it wasn't Chidee, it was the army of droids, fighters, and fleet of starships he had with him. "You and whose army?" "Mine, as a matter of fact."

I don't know how much is too much, to be honest, which is why I've tried to avoid describing them.
Umm...but it does seem everyone expects Chidee to be fighting with two decades obsolescent technology. I mean, if you just follow the standard (and so far, correct) prediction for the improvement of computers (about twice as fast each year) alone, they should be over a million times smarter than the B2s.
And I don't really know much about how the Star Wars droids are...urgh, how one is supposed to think up droids for Star Wars. Umm...if I were doing it on my own...let's see... Metal alloys for the body, nasty blaster rifle as the standard armament, for the standard battle droids; vibro bayonets too, perhaps. Fairly-well articulated fingers. And, if none of the other specialized variants, there are at least anti-armor droids, maybe demo droids too. They're capable of operation without a battle computer, though the battle computer acts like Battle Meditation for them and serves to arrange the forces over the entire battle or aid the commander in doing so (and hey, they even had B1s capable of independent operation, according to Wookieepedia). They're smarter than the twenty year old droids, even if not over a million times smarter. Officer droids are probably the sharpest of the lot, as they command/direct/organize the other droids on a tactical level. More advanced droids (commando droids? Maybe officer droids, or some of those) would probably sport advanced cermaics (which I'm guessing are going to be better but more expensive than the standard metals) and the like, as well as whatever weapons are needed, be smarter, that kind of thing; your usual special forces stuff. His bodyguards, are, of course, uber; might even have phrix/cortosis/whatever-miraclealloy in them. I'd guess that lightsaber immunity would be godmodding, but they're resistant; I've got a simile for it, but I think it would probably be inapproriate/offensive. And they're usually painted/etched/gilded, as they have to look good, impress people; kinda like how the Secret Service agents around the President wear suits, rather than full battle fatigues.
As for the Force...eh, perception, and the ability to do the small/subtle things, I think that is what Chidee really would prefer to work with. If you want s**t hurled around and smashed, go talk to Drako.

just start looking for more modern battle droids or just create one based upon the B1's and B2's. Note that R2 units have been used in the galaxy for over fifty years. B1's and B2's can still be useful. they just need upgrades.
