(text description in ALT and below the cut)

Based on some rumblings I heard, I ended up quickly throwing together a fun little WIP bingo sheet! I'll admit I largely wrote the prompts for writing, but I think a good number of them should also apply to art!

Ultimately, the goal is to have fun, and finish whatever WIPs you can (without burning yourself out or having a bad time). If you needed a sign to pick up that project you've been putting off, the time is now!

3x4 Bingo square titled "Finish your fucking fics february"

the top three across left to right read "Update your oldest WIP", "Finish a WIP that's been buried deep in your drafts", and "Finish a WIP that you haven't posted yet"

the second row reads "Finish a recent WIP", "Finish a WIP you're scared of" and "Finish a WIP that's been haunting you"

the third row reads "Update a partially posted WIP", "Finish any WIP/Free Space", and "Finish the next WIP in a series you've been avoiding"

the last row reads "Update your newest WIP", "Finish a WIP that's been ignored for at least 6 months", and "Finish the next chapter for a fic you've been meaning to for months"

Jedi Army of Light and General Population Breakdown

So, when you write a star wars fic in a time period most people don't explore, you end up having to figure out the logistics of how a military would work. Which means I looked through the US military websites and thought deeply about how orbital warfare would work.

I'm not a military history buff or anything so this is pretty much two hours of work before I said 'meh, good enough'.

Under the cut is the full breakdown I did for the Jedi population as well as the military order of the Army of Light. Keep in mind all these numbers are estimates for easy math so I don't melt my brain.

On the general population:

Somewhere in canon, it says that the Jedi population was 1 million before the end of the Sith Wars, and then 10,000 after the Battle of Ruusan. The number of 1 million is usually referring specifically to the Army of Light, so we're basing the numbers on the understanding that the army has 1 million Jedi enlisted.

If you've read In the Year Ruusan, you know that I changed the population of the Jedi at the time of the reformation to 1 million instead of 10,000, so keep that in mind as you read the rest of this post.

In order to calculate the rest of the Jedi's population, I went with the assumption that on average, Jedi who are fighting age (Padawans and older) comprise of 66% of the population. Younglings make up 15%, and those too old to be enlisted make up 19%.

Therefore:

The total population of the Jedi Order at the time of the Ruusan Reformation is about 1,340,000.

About 201,000 are Younglings.

About 134,000 are Padawan age.

About 750,400 are Knights and Masters of fighting age.

About 254,600 are Knights and Masters not of fighting age.

(Population breakdown is inspired by Switzerland)

On the Army of Light:

What's interesting about Star Wars warfare is that aerial battles (mixed with naval warfare but in SPACE) are usually run by the generals who also do the ground campaigns, at least in TCW. In the Rebellion era, most of the warfare was done using ships, even in low atmo. For example, the battle on Hoth in ESB. There were ground troops, but most things were done in the air. Probably because they were evacuating, but also because it's easier to carpet bomb stormtroopers than it is to fight with a limited supply of soldiers on the run.

During the Sith Wars, we've mostly got planetary warfare between the Jedi and Republic and the Sith Empire. This means the hierarchal order of the Army is going to be based on what is most functional for taking control of an entire planet.

Therefore, taking info from the US military, I've organized the Army of Light as following:

A planetary corps is the entire fleet sent to each planet. From there, it's broken up into two hemispheres, which is then split as needed in order to take over the major cities.

Wing - 5 beings. Led by 1 Master, usually with 2 Knights and 2 Padawans as support.

Guard - 50 beings, 10 wings. Led by a lieutenant.

Templar - 250 beings, 5 guards, 50 wings. Led by a captain.

Infantry - 1000 beings, 4 templars, 20 guards, 200 wings. Led by a lieutenant colonel.

Crusade - 5000 beings, 5 infantry, 20 templars, 100 guards, 1000 wings. Led by a colonel.

Hemisphere division - 15000 beings, 3 crusades, 15 infantry, 60 templars, 300 guards, 3000 wings. Led by a major general. Covers half a planet, both in atmo and on the surface.

Planetary corps - 35000 beings, 2 hemisphere divisions. Led by a lieutenant general.

There's a total of 28 active planetary corps.

Planetary corps are split up as needed, breaking down along this grouping order before being deployed across the galaxy.

Hopefully this tool helps out anyone interested in writing some fic about this era! If you're reading my time-travel obi-wan fic set in the years following the 7th Battle of Ruusan (linked here and above) then I hope this is a useful reference when I write about the army and population demographics.
