Standard equipment and morals for all. RotS Sidious for the first one, RotJ Sidious for the others. Prime unamped versions for all other characters unless otherwise specified.

1. Dooku has decided that it's time to strike against his master. He reaches out to Maul and Savage Opress and strikes a deal with them. When Palpatine travels to the Royal Sundari Palace to take care of the upstart Zabrak brothers, Dooku and Ventress close in on him from behind. Sheev must now fight all four of them. Who wins?

Bonus: Grievous joins the Strike Team.

2. Vader has decided to act on his desires to overthrow his master. When Palpatine visits a new Imperial Palace constructed for him on Byss, his twenty Guards attack him, along with Vader. The Dark Apprentice also emerges to strike at the Emperor. Who comes out of this as the victor?

3. The New Jedi Order is built in secret on the fringes of the galaxy, whilst Palpatine's dark regime lives on. Luke, Leia and Jaina Solo confront Palpatine and Darth Vader aboard the Death Star. Who prevails?

Bonus: Palpatine gets ten Royal Guards, and Mara Jade Skywalker joins the Jedi team.

4. Vitiate has decided that Palpatine is a threat to his Sith Empire, but does not want to confront his nemesis directly. Instead, he dispatches Lord Scourge, Wrath II, Nox, Marr & Malgus to face the Emperor and Darth Vader. Who wins this one?

5. Revan, Meetra Surik and Lord Scourge from the novel, instead of confronting Emperor Vitiate, are teleported to Palpatine's Byss palace. There, they meet up with the Hero of Tython and the Barsen'thor. Can their combined might dethrone the Emperor and his loyal servant, Darth Vader?

Bonus: Satele Shan joins the fight, providing Battle Meditation.

1. If they start in close quarters (given Palpatine doesn't sense it from afar, which is unlikely - but let's say it happens for the sake of good plot lol), team can win. Maul and Dooku are capable of limited defense and reaction, and they have the support of two people they're pretty familiar with, that are good at teamfighting, and, well, there's 4v1, which is an absurd number, and it's not like Palpatine vs. B-Team, where it was Palpatine who had the first move and the upper hand. I can see the team winning.

Dunno about Grievous. Honestly? He's more of a hindrance. No, I would never say Savage/Asajj > Grievous. But Grievous is too large and requires too much of a space to be good at 5v1 fight.

2. Completely dunno.

3. Eh, it depends on the iteration of Luke. It's late New Republic? Like 25 ABY? Then Luke's team. Worse iterations of Luke and Palp+Vader win.

4. Malgus gives a great fight to Palpatine on his own, as does Marr. With two of them Palpatine falls in a good fight. With Wrath and Nox Palpatine gets murdered in a span of 2 seconds thumb up

5. Team.

It's Palpatine and Vader for number 4.

1. Not sure on the first round. Team should take it in the bonus.

2. On Byss? Sidious should put Vader in his place tbh.

3. The Skywalker's/Solo's.

4. Palpatine and Vader.

5. Nope. Not sure about the outcome in the bonus round.

Not really. Vitiate isn't one to directly confront his enemies in general.

1. Sheev, but bonus team has a better chance.
2. Sheev pretty solidly.
3. Same as Bart.
4. Any two of team TOR could take on Vader evenly, but 3v1 is still not enough to beat Sheev. Malgus can solidly hold off Vader alone, and then team TOR would more likely than not take down the OT Sith.
5. Tbh Meetra's BM could tip the scales, bonus and they take it 7-8/10.
