Planet suggestion thread
« on: January 12, 2012, 07:52:29 PM »
Rather than simply listing over a dozen planets which I'd like to see added into the mod, I'll post a couple with detailed reasons why they're relevant during this era (New Republic era 5 ABY - 25 ABY). First I'll post three and then hopefully wait for any feedback from the devs whether they'd be considered to be added in. My first three planet suggestions are:

Ithor
The fourth planet in the Ottega system (also known as the Ithori system), within the Mid Rim. Ithor was the home planet of the Ithorians which considered the planet sacred, to which they built floating cities so not to harm the surface which housed rainforests and many fauna and flora such as the Bafforr tree, crystalline trees with collective sentient consciousness.

After the battle of Generis which saw a victory for the Empire, Thrawn then lead his forces to Fedje, Ketaris, Agamar and then finally Ithor as part of his main campaign against the New Republic. Ithor was a member of the New Republic and was even a New Republic stronghold until Thrawn had annexed the system. Known as the "Third Battle of Ithor", it was one of Thrawn's last conquests before his defeat at Bilbringi.

Naboo
According to Star Wars: The Essential Atlas, Naboo was a member of the New Republic and during Zsinj's conquests and Thrawn's campaign, it was the location of a New Republic stronghold.

Fest
The primary planet of the Fest system, located within the Outer Rim Territories, a densely populated ice planet with various mountains and valleys. The planet was controlled by the Galactic Empire and was the site of an Imperial weapons research facility.

During Thrawn's campaign, the planet was under the control of the Pentastar Alignment. However when Ardus Kaine was killed during Operation Shadow Hand, Fest along with the worlds controlled by the Alignment were gained back by the Imperial Remnant under Gilad Pellaeon's rule a year later after Kaine's death.

Ithor is a planet I've always wanted to do, but it needs its own map, which has been a limiting factor so far. We've always had more important ones to do, but it's definitely at the top of the list of planets I'd like to do.

Naboo really stopped being relevant a long time before the mod started, and it also means Gungans.

Fest is another possibility we'll consider, but it's not especially high up there on the priority list.
I also have a YouTube channel where I talk about mod development and gaming, do tutorials, and Let's Plays. If you like the content, consider supporting it on Patreon

Gungans aren't really a factor that I'm worried about.

Another planet which may be relevant:

Altyr V
A rockly planet in the Altyr system, located within Outer Rim territories, during the New Republic era the New Republic has set-up a base on the planet. Both Kyle Katarn and Mara Jade were stationed there when the planet was attacked by the Imperial Remnant. The Remnant had sent two artificial asteroids which bombarded the planet as well included an army of troops and bombers.

Could the following planets be given to the Yevetha,

Doornik-319. Site of the first decisive battle between the Duskhan League and NR(placed to the northeast of N'zoth closer to Coruscant.(placed as a buffer against the IR) with 1 ISDII, 2 VSDs, 2 Strike cruisers, and 8 Thrustships with light frigate shipyard(ground forces could compose At-STs and Chariots since we have no Yevetha infantry skins)
 
Prildaz. One of the worlds taken and occupied as a colony world and site of battle between the Duskhan League and NR as well as one of the Black 9 Shipyards(placed to the west of N'zoth as a buffer against the EotH) with 1 ISDII, 2 VSDs, 2 Strike cruisers, and 8 Thrustships with heavy frigate shipyards(as a gas giant it would need no ground forces) 

New Brigia. One of the first Yevethan victims of The Great Purge and later occupied for the minerals there.(Placed to the Southeast of N'zoth as a buffer against the NR) with 1 ISDII, 2 VSDs, 2 Strike cruisers, and 8 Thrustships with light frigate shipyards(ground forces could compose At-STs and Chariots since we have no Yevetha infantry skins)

The reason I suggest these is that with N'zoth as the major intersection of the three main factions it's a relatively simple thing for the AIs or player to wipe them out and move on. Having an extra planet and garrison between N'zoth and the main factions it would make running over the Yevetha a bit more difficult and more significant as a faction.
