Hmm, well, something I forgot to mention earlier is that Yoda is off looking for the Sith himself, and that's part of why everything is going to hell in a handbasket for the Jedi. That gives me an idea, however (i.e. Iurra thinks she's discovered something really bad, and she's gone looking for Yoda...more on this idea later).2. Often used? Yes. Overused? I like to think no because it's such a good plot device. I'm starting to think that this might somehow be connected to what 'only Yoda would know how to deal with'...maybe there's a gigantic 'sith dreadnaught' hidden inside some nebula, and with it the Bad Guys could bring the republic to its knees?3. Not 'epic light vs. dark' enough for my liking...maybe I'll use that in a future campaign, but it seems to, well, mundane. I think it would work better for a campaign with more smuggler/soldier/mercenary sorts of characters, and less Jedi. In short, a good idea, but not what I'm looking for.Ok, now as for the villains being 'good guys' sort of...hmmm...that's a very interesting idea...So, here's the structure I've come up with...1. There are two dark-side factions; the one that Maress is part of (and they want to keep the Big Bad Thing hidden; lets call them 'Orange'), and the one that Iurra escaped from (and they want the Big Bad Thing; let's call them 'Yellow').2. Iurra, while imprisoned, figured out that her captors were looking for the BBT, as well as knowing that there are 'enemy' agents within the Jedi Order at the time. She decides that A. She needs to find Yoda (because he'll know what to do), and B. She needs to find the BBT (which is ultimately a foolish thing, but hey, she was the youngest Master in the Order at the time of her 'death,' so she's a bit young and foolish).3. To find Yoda, she's decided that she needs to track down an old Jedi artifact that acted as a sort of 'telepathy amplifier', which she hoped would be on Ossus...but it wasn't. So, she's been searching the Outer Rim for the artifact, while also asking around for the BBT. This alerted Orange to her, and now she's also trying to evade their pursuit.4. Orange doesn't want anyone to find the BBT because they're not "Rule the Galaxy with an Iron Fist" dark jedi, but "Live in luxury at the expense of others" dark jedi, so they'd like to keep the status quo. Yellow is definately of the "RtGwaIF" variety, and is in the process of searching for the BBT.5. The PCs only know that A. Maress will try to kill them if they keep 'meddling' in a very nebulous area that they think probably involves Iurra, B. Iurra is looking for a 'Telepathy Enhancer' and C. Yellow is up to no good.</blockquote>
