I like it.
we just might need to get in a fight with these hutt gangsters to let the non-social creatures have some fun. Karl how big a role to jedi in general play in shutting down major criminal operations? Ie would they likely attack on sight. I ask in general since the Jedi would have a sense of how people see them from various missions before the mission without Nomi.

I see it as explained in the Power of the Force book from revised... there is a Jedi and his Padawan go to the Hutt homeworld and see lots of slavery and bad stuff happening but the Jedi does nothing about it. Later they are on a Republic world and they see a shopowner beating up one of his servants, which the Jedi stops. The Padawan asks his master later, why did you stop the beating when we saw far worst on the Hutt world... to which his master said that the Republic knew about the terrible things that happen in Hutt space but have passed know laws about it, where as in Republic space slavery was outlawed. The Jedi could not impose laws, as it was not right, instead they should enforce the laws where they could and be an example in others.
In this case, the Republic knows wants going on here as they allowed the Hutt to set up here... now it might be under the table AND if you see laws of the Republic being broken you should try and stop them if you can, but gambling, etc per say is not illegal.
Is Popottus involved in the smuggling, etc? Well there is no proof of that right now, it could be assumed BUT without proof... it is up to you how you think your characters would deal with him...

Jade doesn't care about the smuggling in and of its self, to her smuggling is a business and smugglers buy starships bringing her family money. Where she would step in is the fact that there is at least one Dark Sider, possibly more on a panet that was threatening the Republic. I was wondering though beyond just investigating the connection between the force users to the pure whether or not the Jedi have a standing duty to investigate and try to turn or kill darksiders.
Just for reference, it looks like Increae Vehicle Speed only lasts for a turn, takes a DC 20 check, and knocks the vehicle down one spot on the condition track on a failure. So Serrana needs to finagle another +3 to pilot before she could use it indefinitely.
Serrana isn't overly concerned by most low-level crime (her pre-Jedi life being largely supported by illegal, or at least unlicensed activity) though slavers -- especially those dealing in Twi'lek girls -- tend to provoke a very strong reaction from her (expecting a Qui-gon-esque blasė attitude on the subject from her is... unlikely).

Well the Jedi of this time period are not as concerned as in the later eras as bring all Force Users over for Jedi training... a 'dark trained' force user may not be wholly evil per say. They may have committed some transgressions over time, but may not have given over to the dark side as it where. Now a ‘dark sider’ or someone’s who has given themselves over to the dark side fully and completely, then a Jedi might very well be compelled to stop them just on meeting them… for the Jedi knows that this individual is evil pure and simple…

Jade thinks she is the obvious leader and public speaker for the group. Thats mostly pride, or breeding, but its how she has acted through out the entirety of the groups training. The other Jedi might not go along with what she says, but at this point they should be used to her trying to take charge and maintain the group's status in front of non-jedi.

Fair enough.
Elan Xandar Renn understands the motivations behind Jade’s behavior, and has taken upon himself the task of disabusing his fellow Jedi padawan of this misconception, which he believes clouds her judgement and prevents her from achieving enlightenment and communion with the Force. He will do his best to help Jade let go of this pride, and see herself for what she is: a member of this group, rather than its self-appointed leader.
He sincerely believes he is working in Jade’s best interests and hopes his efforts will not lead to confrontation or hurt feelings.
Deal?
