Help Me Repopulate the Outer Planes!

I'm actually only concerned about the nine 'major' outer planes; I've trashed the eight 'minors', because I find them repetitive. (Gehenna, Arcadia, Ysgard, Pandemonium, etc.) I like the idea of 'border patrols' but I'd prefer to reserve that job to the celestials themselves. That way, there's no impartial 3rd party around when the upper planes get tiffed at eachother. Doesn't happen very often, but it is a concern.

These "eight minor planes" could be fluxtuations of the "nine major planes," areas in which the energies of the two planes intermingle and create open terrirtory for either adjacent plane to dig in. I've used them as stepping stones into the other planes (as I kind of feel the same way as you about them, except for Gehenna) - the PCs must travel to Pandemonium to find a portal into Limbo, that kind of thing. You could even adapt the planes to "merge" into the other as they get closer, kind of how the elemental planes worked in Planescape.
