Wasn't it just Jerec and his little band of like 6 insane jedi?

The Pentastar Alignment worked with each other faction while refusing to commit forces to them(though mostly from a neutral position so as not to provoke the separate Warlords, Empire proper or the New Republic) They helped fund Cronus and supported the Prophets of the Dark side in their attempts to gain control of the Empire albeit from a distance. Jerec and his 6 dark jedi worked in the Alignment while being provided units, material and funding to find the valley of the Jedi to secure the Alignment's victory or so Jerec claimed. Some of the former Inquisitors took shelter in the Alignment as enforcers or hunkered down to escape notice before later joining the Second Imperium. So the Pentastar Alignment had it's share of Dark Jedi and other force users for a time,more than most of the other factions did to be sure.

I'm sorry, you're probably sick of me, but (drum roll...) I have more ideas

1) Maybe, in Era 2, as the IR, when you capture Myrkyr you could build ysalamiri troopers there. They could make it so that force users couldn't use their special abilities in a certain radius around them.

2) My other idea also centers around Myrkyr. Instead of making it IR specific, you could make it a planetary advantage, where force users could not use their special abilities around a certain radius of any infantry. Of course, both of these could work both ways, so your force users couldn't use their special abilities around friendly troops as well as enemies.

     The problem I see about method 2 is that it would make infantry killer abilities such as force lightning useless, and thus make infantry too powerful. That is why I like method 1 better. It would give the IR an advantage, but it also could take some strategy to make sure your own force users were out of range of the force-dampening field.

3) My last idea was to make Karrde a land hero as well. He could have the Bribe ability, and he could have a summon vornskyrs ability.

The ysalamiri  are lizards if i am correct, so how could you make ysalamiri troopers.

Didn't some people wear ysalamiri around their neck like a scarf to block the force?  Or am I massively mixing different books of different universes?

I guess you haven't read the Hand of Thrawn Duology. Too bad, great books, definitely recommended. The Empire of the Hand designed nutrient frames for the ysalamiri (basically just backpack cages I guess) that soldiers strapped on their backs.

i havent read the thrawn books so i apologize

I like this idea, and it would make Karrde much more useful to the NR...

Apology accepted, welcome back by the way Zsinj, been awhile since I've seen your posts.

Something I might like to see would be jet troopers again. They were great for getting around, quick strikes and the Empire still maintained them for years(according to Wookiepedia, The Essential Guide to Warfare, and The Force unleashed.)

Thanks its good to be back i have been away doing things.

[Corey]

The Karrde being a grounf hero thing is something I've wanted to do for a while, however we do already have some other stuff planned to make him more useful.

[Zsinj]

Will Booster Terrick's(I think thats how you spell it) Star Destroyer be in better condition or will it stay like it was in 1.3?

i confess myself curious, mayhaps you will hint a bit more?

[Zsinj]

Do you think you could make the Errant Venture red like in Cannon or would it take to much time?
(I don't know if this has been suggested before)

Actually The Errant Venture wasn't red until well after Camaas Crisis. Then again we have Bothan Assault Cruisers in that era, so why not?

[Kalo]

Like adding Jerec's custom ship and a few Jedi(generic like the NRs mass produced Jedi) to the Pentastar Alignment not as buildable but spawning say two units of them? Since the Pentastar backed Jerec and his jedi, some inquisitors and Cronus, that would add a little diversity...

When he said "unique" I imagine he meant something that broke out of the IR mold. So, purely for example, The Ssi Ruuvi/Vong. This is not a confirmation that we're adding them.

[Corey]

The BAC/Viscount were permissible because they're technological advances made before the next set of things that would constitute an era (and if the early Vong War were to become an era 6, they'd be shifted to those), since that's the kind of military development thing that would occur independent of the event timeline, so there was no reason to limit it like that. Since there is no era 6, it's not encroaching on anything

However, not only was Errant Venture painted red after the specified timeline of era 5, it was painted red in payment for its use in the event that ended the timeperiod in question. It wasn't just some project Booster undertook independent of the events the GC/era is centered around. It was painted red by Garm Bel-Iblis and the New Republic for Booster Terrik in payment for its use in the Battle of Yaga Minor, which resulted in the Pellaeon-Gavrisom treaty, effectively endingthe war between the IR proper and the NR.

It would be different however, if Booster and the dilapidated  Venture were to despawn after the transition to era 4, or didn't start off the Caamas GC with you, and tells you he's only willing to continue serving the New Republicn in exchange for upgrades to his Star Destroyer.

A more interesting and involved version of what he currently does.

Don't forget, you'd need Karrde for this too, since all the Paint came from him, though Bel Iblis and Terrik didn't know it.

Maybe you could make it his special ability. I can see it now: in the middle of a ferocious battle between the IR and the NR, the NR suddenly unleashes its secret weapon. The Errant Venture moves out into the killing field, readies its weapons and... turns red!!.

Anyway, on to serious subjects. In era 4, maybe you could give Daala the Death Star prototype. However, make it only be able to fire on ships. It could be almost invincible, with the only thing able to effectively defeat it be Kyp in the Sun Crusher (which could be a fighter with a special ability of fire torpedo, which would have a long recharge time and only usable on ships, not planets.) If you destroy the death star with the sun crusher, the death star would be permanently gone, but so would the sun crusher.

[Corey]

The Sun Crusher was itself indestructible so it would be a one-ship fleet capable of winning any battle, and the death star prototype had horrible accuracy. It woulkd never have been able to target ships.

I detested the Sun Crusher, it made no sense, indestructible armor, couldn't be duplicated, the size of a starfighter. Ridiculousness at it's height. Also Corey is right about the Death Star Prototype, they aimed it at Kessel and wound up hitting the moon near it instead. If it couldn't hit a planetoid it was aiming for I certainly couldn't be accurate enough to hit much smaller ships moving.
