Even a small criminal organizationo or Pirate Clan?

How would we do it, Melkor? We don't have any grasp of Outer Rim politics, and now we have no leader who would give instructions. Not many Pirates are run by commitee.

Grr, I am sure there are opportunities in Outer Rim.
Actually, how much time is going to pass between Episodes?

So we really can do nothing for 2 years? Finding some allies or minions should²be possible in Outer Rim, where we are not hunted.
My character has good social skills and Powers like Leadership or Corruption, so have Takuan and Rand.

Takuan and Rand long ago discovered the basic problem- having the skills is one thing, but where do you start? What can you offer anyone? These organisations are already led; you won't work FOR them, you can kill their leaders but then they won't work for you, and then you have a new set of enemies.
Without anything to offer to deal with people, you are powerless and impotent.
And now, worse- all those organisations do work inside the Republic. By associating with you, they will attract the attentions of the Bureau.
Basically no-one will touch you with a barge pole. The Bureau has shut you out.

How about creating a small sect devoted to Darkside? In our world people are joining them, without the proof of any supernatural powers!
And in the Outer Rim, where Jedi do not recruit so much, we can find some Force Sensitive people to train!

But also it is very important that you stay quiet. If you start a decent sized organisation and it is discovered, it will be the Jedi who come after you.

Hmm, Gallador would like to find at last one or two Force Sensitive people he could train and teach his developing philosophy, which is getting sllighly similar to this of Ascar, he does not believe in Darkside for example.
Could he search for Apprentice, like Padawans for Lightside?

Also, how many people how some Force Potential, but not enough to reach the level of weakest Jedi? Those that can barely learn few weakest Powers like Scan or Pull?

I would think that a Dark Sider would be worried that if he/she sought out an Apprentice, (and found one - or more than one - and trained him/her/them), that the Apprentice(s) would turn on the Master.
This has been the case of many conflicts, (EU), amongst the Sith and the Dark Jedi. It was even insinuated with the "Rule of Two". Darth Plageuis, (if he existed), was obviously not "wise" enough to see that his Apprentice, (again, insinuated as being Darth Sidious/Palpatine), would kill him.
In other words, I'd think one asscociated with the Dark Side of the Force would be worried that any Apprentice or Apprentices would make a mad-grab for their power, and thus not take on the risk of training one, or more.
