With the completion of the Stormtroopers, Imperial Navy, and Imperial Army collections, I'm now on the home stretch of my Imperial NPC collection.

With the Imperial NPC collection approaching completion, I am starting to think about which group I should start working on next. I figured I'd start a little poll to find out what people think.

I feel like most major military organizations are pretty well covered in most books. I personally would enjoy the militia and merc. NPCs as there is minimal info on them and my campaigns interact with them often Smile

Very Interesting, . . . . I had honestly expected people to want the Rebels/New Republic or Grand Army of the Republic. So see so much interest in Mercenaries & Militias comes as something of a surprise!

Does anyone have anything specific in mind? The more I know about what everyone is looking for, the better I can try catering the projects to people's needs.

I'm planning to do the following Militia/Mercenary groupings:
Primitive Militia
Archaic Militia
Untrained militia
Simple Militia
Organized Militia
Mercenary Navy
Mercenary Army
Mercenary Commandos/Specialists

Interesting Stats. Is there a particular reason why you gave them Beast Riding and not Ground Vehicle Operation? How have you put them to use in your adventures?

I saved the stats to a doc so I can go over them in detail later.

These would be the most useful to me, not sure what others woudl want.

Organized Militia
Mercenary Navy
Mercenary Army

i recently did a campaign where we had to organize a militia and take over a imperial garrison base. Also i have a lot of interaction with local milita navies and mercanary navies as i typically run pirate/privateer campaigns.

When I get started, I'll probably be starting with the Militia (All of them) since those would probably be the easiest to assemble. With that said, I should be able to put together all of the Militia groups in an afternoon.

I'm planning to do a set of baseline stats for everyone, avoiding labling any race or gender with the stats. With thousands of races in the Star Wars universe, it just dosnt make sense to do stats for even a fraction of them. On the other hand, if anyone can think of a few particularly common, militaristic races, I would be willing to do stats for a hand full of them. Does anyone want any specific races represented?

The Chiss come to mind, perhaps Gamorreans as well.

I like the idea of doing some Chiss. Maybe a Trooper, Pilot and group leader version?

Gamorreans. I tend to associate them more with criminal organizations. On the other hand, they are a rather war like species. Maybe a set of Warrior stats?

Since the terrain the mercs come from is highly wooded, beast travel (horses or other critters) is the most common form of travel for faster than foot. well unless in a city..

As for how they were used.. Mostly as adversaries in one of my modules.

Mandorlians, Echani, and Iridonia's come to mind. The last one mainly being from Knights of the Old Republic influence, as while most Zabrak we see are warriors I don't know if they are traditionally known as that in all of EU.

At this point, I am considering the current poll results as final. I'll be working on the Mercenaries next and I'm starting a new thread where I can work on the project.

We can continue the discussion here:

I just noticed that you've finished your rebellion/new republic bits and I was curious what was next on your agenda. Any idea Guard?

I'm still planning to do a Support group for the Rebels/New Republic. That group will include Security Guards, New Republic Intelligence, and the less noticed support people like medics and techs.

When I finish up the last of the Rebels/New Republic, I'll probably be starting in on the Grand Army of the Republic followed by the Seperatists. I really dont expect either of those to be terribly large since Clones and Droids dont offer the same digree of veriety that Imperials and Rebels do. At this point, I dont plan to focus exclusively on any one group the way I have with the previous collections I'll probably do a civilian group once I finish the Rebel/NR Support Personell file, then fit in another small group in between the Army and Navy portions of the Grand Army of the Republic.
