Luke and Mara have one of the best Battle Melds ever because it's backed up by a Force Bond. She can literally borrow power from her Husband as it goes.
Maul is the weak link on team 1, he probably dies first, and the Sword of the Jedi can probably hold off Plageuis till Mara comes to help. If Plageuis is stronger then Caedus, he isn't stronger by much.
Though there's also an argument for having Force Bond Mara hold Plageuis off. With her Husband's power flowing through her, she may be amped beyond her niece.

Assuming that Jaina would face Plagueis, I think she'd get killed by him before anyone else dies. This would eventually turn into a 3 vs 1 fight.
Eh, she did well against Caedus, who's stronger than P I'd say, and was on the offensive there, focusing on killing him even if it meant taking hits. Here she can afford to play more defensive.

Wasn't Caedus seriously weakened in that fight? 😬
Caedus vs Plagueis is hard to puzzle out imo.

The disabilities are why he couldn't win and she ended up having the edge in the battle, but he also specifically has a force ability to ignore all pain, could affect blood flow and organ performance... and he had also received medical attention, and Jaina had prior wounds by the time of the final clash too.
Heck, the prior wounds were from *their previous clash* (wherein Jaina had Luke disguising her, but that was her sole advantage, and that was when she took his arm, and he hit her with force lightning). Jaina was the one who inflicted the wounds to begin with, and if she hadn't been fast enough and good enough to do so, it wouldn't have happened.
So, yea, Jaina had some non-physical assistance in the first clash and was able to keep up with his speed well enough to take an arm, and in the second both were wounded from the first, him more-so, but with some treatment and force abilities that allowed him to be less affected than most anyone in the same place, and no more outside edges.
Also on the disguise thing in the first clash- Jaina shot at Caedus, wounding him, the duel started, Caedus was surprised with just how good his foe was as they exchanged kicks, then he 'saw' that it was 'Luke.'
Jaina was responsible for every last one of his wounds, and the help she received was fairly limited, and he received medical treatment in between fights and had ways of minimizing the effects of wounds.

You keep forgetting Mara is amped due to her husbandand I think you're underestimating her anyway.
Yeh to be perfectly honest, NJO characters get pretty terribly lowballed here, the complete lack of knowledge on Mara Jade, Jaina Solo, Darth Caedus, Kyle Katarn, etc.. is pretty self evident in most threads.
I've only seen a few who actually know the full feats of said characters. Which is fairly surprising considering the respect threads out there.
Mara overwhelms Maul as Jaina holds Plagueis off, FOTJ Luke probably takes DE Sheev for 8/10. However the Force Bond/Battle Meld mixture turns it into a pretty dominant NJO victory.

Mara wouldn't overwhelm Maul, she had enough trouble with Lumiya by nearly giving herself a concussion by headbutting her, failing to stab her, and nearly getting strangled by the Meditation sphere (she knew was self aware). Lumiya and Maul are more or less skillfully equal, she'd lose to Maul or get destroyed by Plagueis
Jaina likewise would lose to Plagueis.
