Welcome to the #3 Edition of 60 Standard Minutes.

[Guest Admiral_Antilles]

Well, I am glad you all enoyed it very much. Look for #4 tomorrow.

[Mad78]

Why not do a series about Rogue Squadron. I mean before the New Republic and during the rebellion. That would be pretty cool. I know a certain amount about it so maybe...

[Grand_Admiral_Thrawn]

The only problem is, during the rebellion only a few squadron members are know. Unless there is a series of books or comics that cover that era of Rogue Squadron, we'd have a rehashing of the Battle of Hoth and the Battle of Endor.

[Guest Admiral_Antilles]

Mad, I had thought about doing a Rouge Squadron edition, but as Thrawn said a lot of it would be repeats about Hoth and Endor. But I will see what I can do. If it does not work out, I do something else.

[Mad78]

I wll name a list of people who were in RS during the Alliance.

Note I shall only describe the actions of these characters during the rebellion.

Luke Skywalker

 

I shall not bother with a description

 

Wedge Antillies

 

Same as above

 

Dack Ralter

 

Little is knowen of him. His parents were political prisonners and he was arrested with them. When he was an adolescent, during a transfer, Dack managed to escape from the barge on which he was. The next step was of course to join the Rebellion. He entered Rogue squad as a replacement after the battle of Yavin. Even thought he was younger than most of the pilots his skills as a gunner and a pilot could not be denied. Sadly his career ran short after he was killed during the battle of hoth while accompagning Luke as a gunner for his Snow speeder.

 

Zev Senesca

 

Zev entered the Rebellion when his parents where killed by the Empire when he was young. He was always older than most of the group but this did not stop him from showin great bravoury and skill, once holding off three tie fighters alone so that a transport could escape. He had already 48 imperial ships painted on his ship when he was killed during the battle of Hoth while attempting a daring run against an Imperial walker.

 

Wes Janson

 

Wes was born on Taanab and joined the Rebellion after the battle of Yavin. He is extremely good at any kind of gunning. He was the gunner of Wedge Antilles during the Battle of Hoth and it was him who hit the leg of the AT-AT so that Wedge could bring it to the ground. Expert at making dumb, childish jokes, many times Janson has been menaced by Wedge... This did not stop him from starting again as soon as possible.

 

Derek "Hobbie" Klivian

 

Hobbie is born on Ralltir. He joined and defected from the Imperial Academie with Jed Porkins and Biggs Darklighter and joining the Rebelion. He then spent some time around Sullust running some guns before joining Rogue Squadron. He is often quite squeptique but he will never disobey a supperior. It is said that he appreciates Bacta baths... But he never misses his target.

 

Kasan Moor

 

Kasan is born on Alderran. She was quite young when she joined the Imperial Academie. She quickly showed her impressive capacities at the comtrols of a fighter. She was given the lead of the 128 Tie Interceptor squadron. But all her enthusiasme disappeared when she heard of the destruction of her planet. Thought she continued to serve the Empire, she secretly thought of a way of defecting. The opportunity came when she and her squadron had to engage the Rogues on the planet Gerrard VI. A Y-ing shot her down using their Ion Guns. She then joined the alliance and served loyally. What happened to her after the dissolution of the squadron is unknowen.

 

See it isn't that hard to find info about the Rogues.

[Grand_Admiral_Thrawn]

So, was that a condensed version so you can move on to bigger things?

[Mad78]

I forgot to count few characters such as Tycho Celchu and I did it without much research. Do you actually want a uncondensed version?

[Grand_Admiral_Thrawn]

Not really. The rebels were never that complex with thier characters.

[Mad78]

And why do you say that?

[Thumper]

Hmm. I've heard slightly different details for some of the Rogues.

 

For instance, Wes joined before Yavin. He sat out of the battle because he was sick.

 

I've also heard that Dack was born on the prison planet and escaped in another fashion.

 

But anyway, just my two Republic credits.

[Mad78]

I franquly wasn't sure about Wes so I can give you credit. And I got the info that Dack's parents were captured so I kinda guessed that he was taken with them. But you must be right. Understand that I didn't do deep researches so excuse if there are a few errors.

[Thumper]

No problem. I'm not trying to put you down or anything. I've just done a fair amount of research on the Original Trilogy-era Rogues, so I've accumulated some trivia.

Some trivia, Thumper? Try, 'encyclopedic knowledge'.

 

She knows her stuff, boys! What's more, she's taught me a few things, and what she doesn't know off the top of her head she'll find out from her vast network of informers.

 

*looks at Mad's rank* Dear LORD, Mad! You're already a Grand Admiral?!? {sigh}

[smellymummy]

Pre Empire makes perfect sense. When referring to Chewie's birthday, they use the original day and year. There fore, if he was born 183 years before the empire, his B-Day would be 183 PE. How does that not make sense? If you look in teh Star Wars Encyclopedia all of the dates in the timeline are based on the Battle of Yavin as 0. Everything before is BBY and everything agter is ABY. Chewie's birhtday is the same thing. Also, consider BCE and CE (it's no longer BC and AD). Events that occur before year 0 are BCE (before common era) and things after are CE (common era). I think that you are assuming the year oc Chewies birth to be 0.

 

thanks makes perfect sense. actually i was just assuming the years were being counted ahead (183, 184, etc) and not towards the point of the empires birth

I am the best

[Guest Admiral_Antilles]

DO not overestimate yourself, my very young padawan.

[Mad78]

Forgive mw master. BTW how many post did you have when I joined?

[Guest Admiral_Antilles]

Not sure, I was MIA when you joined. I joined a year before you, so I guess about 1200-1300... estimate.

[ADarkJedi44]

Yeah like 1200 I think. Ah don't remind me of the horror of those times

Now I am the master, the circle is complete!

[Guest Admiral_Antilles]

You actually exceeded the rules of spamming, darky. Plus I have been out of town for awhile.

[ADarkJedi44]

But! I have had more posts than you since your return. Indeed I am about to hit 2000.

[Guest Admiral_Antilles]

whats going to be your new title?

[ADarkJedi44]

A few more posts and I'll run a survey on the outside intrests forums for it

[Guest Admiral_Antilles]

okay. now let this post die. Unless someone new posts in it.
