Well after my computer completely reformated my users Partition taking Rebellion with it and a TC that ADarkJedi grew quite familiar with, my updates, I've begun work on a new TC and stories that occur as I run it through its first practice game will be placed here. First as After action reports and then in story form. If you have no Idea who the Rapora are read the ST vs SW Fanfic topic in the General Discussion forum. Let the true war of the Star Wars universe begin. Start Date 9 years after endor...

Jedi Starfighters... who are we kidding, you've got to dock with a hyperspace ring for crying out loud. I'll take the real new Jedi starfighter...the T-65 XJ X-wing.

Nah, he was just having fun. If he really wanted information he could use the force to rip it right from their minds...

Sure Isard's frightening but she never really gets her hands dirty. Its not like she'd stick a blaster in your gut and pull the trigger for looking at her, otherwise Palpy would have long been dead...

Well its complicated, the Borg will be back, eventually, but you'll be really lost if you don't read it all from the begining.

Hey I'm an American and live in the Republican stronghold of Nebraska, and I agree with Mad. I'll bet money you'll see mass resignations from the military and the resignation of Colin Powell if he's reelected. Talking to some military guys, they hate Bush. Before you say. Leftist basterd I'm non partisan, who thinks McCain should have been elected last run around. Go John McCain!

Yes I killed off, a Worf...Remember we have two Thrawns, so why not two Worfs

In that case I'll stick with a Tie Interceptor

Now if Isard is scary imagine what would happen to you if you scratched Mara Jade's personal ship, the Jade's Fire (When she had it). I'm sorry don't hurt...-snap hiss-...please, I didn't mean to-voom- (The sound of cooked meat hitting the floor.)

Here we go, a running battle aboard enterprise, The Jade Scimitar tumbled end over end, steam and atmosphere streaming from its rear as the Sekotan Skip dropped into escort position. Onboard Luke pulled an oxygen mask over Ben’s head as Mara finished mounting one on her own face. She tossed him a mask as the howling wind of a decompression filled her ears. Luke caught it as his ears began to hurt from the drop in pressure. With a hiss the door of the cockpit slid shut and the wind died down to a whisper. Luke shook his head to clear it as the pressure in the cabin began to return to normal. With the return of air the Luke began to catch words from the main speaker, “Jade Scimitar, status report.â€

What would have made a great RPG...The NJO series. That would have been a dandy idea. Of course that has to be in a time when Lucasarts really feels like dabbling in the EU. Its happened before, Mara Jade, as the player in Mysteries of the Sith, who knows. Cortosis armor in Jedi Outcast and Cortosis weave in Knights of the Old Republic. They just have to be willing to take the risk of doing NJO...

Rogriss, was a good enemy he wasn't viscious or overbearing like all to many Imperial Commanders. He saw a job and did it the best he could. Of course when given vile orders he defected, kinda honor bound.

Thats what happens when you serve under Thrawn for awhile, the Strategic Thought and reasoning kinda rubbs off. Of course under Thrawn he was just a Captain, but to each his own. Whatever happened to Daala anyway?

Yeah, who would have thought they'd do Knights of the Old Republic If that isn't far afield of the films, what is?

Okay for films...Solo, because of all the one line jokes. In the EU, well in my mind I ignore most all of what everyones written about her because only Zahn pulls her off, Mara Jade.

Well...Thrawn's Loyalties were never really for the empire, he's loyal to the Chiss, his home worlds. Which one is the clone...I'm not exactly sure the one in the Dark Force Rising series isn't a clone. I've introduced a side thats been read about in some of the books but we haven't seen any warships from them yet, until now. New Side: The Empire of the Hand First Appearance: Vision of the Future by Timothy Zahn Description: Grand Admiral Thrawn's personal Empire in the Unknown regions, they have never attacked the New Republic but are constantly warding off threats in the Unknown Regions, such as the Rapora and Vagaari. Their Technology is a mixture of Imperial and Chiss design. Hence a ship with a similar profile to a Star Destroyer, but with both turbolasers and chiss weaponary, (Chiss weapons are always blue in coloration).

Amen...Bow before the ultimate throne of power in the Star Wars universe you shall...that of Grand Admiral Timothy Zahn. "You learn alot about a ship's architecture when you're dodging blaster bolts.." - Luke Skywalker, Survivor's Quest "A question Captain?" - Grand Admiral Thrawn, Any of the Dark Force Rising Books... "Happy landings and try not to cut off your own feet along the way." - Mara Jade, Vision of the Future I've been disappointed with most fothe other books, there writing isn't all that good alot of times... Truce at Bakura was pretty BAD for example. Vector Prime in terms of story is good but the writing isn't that good and it lacks the real desperate feel that Zahn brings to allot of the Books. In some Ways he's the Tom Clancy of Star Wars. Except he writes better then Clancy...(Better Character development which is Clancy's weakest link.)

Hmmm...Starfighters... Well when I'm playing multiplayer with XWA (Which happens very rarely.) I favor the Tie Interceptor. I can still live without the shields, course its the pilot that counts. I know its not officially part of Star Wars because its part fo my ST vs SW Fan Fiction, but a few Rapora Assault Starfighters would whipe (and did) whipe out a couple squadrons of X-wings... For details read the ST vs SW Fanfiction topic.

Actually what he refers to don't do much, they're mainly drop ships from the stats lucas released. Of course I'd love to see a major fleet battle with dreadnaughts and the Victory class Star Destroyers, probably won't happen though...Large scale space battles are actually kinda rare in Star Wars films.

Yes Emperor palpatine walks out onto the field. The Rebel goalie is about to kick wait, the rebels scored against themselves...darn Jedi mind tricks!

The three best quotes from Timothy Zahn... "YOU WILL KILL SKYWALKER!"-The Emperor's last command to Mara Jade. "But, it was so artistically done." -The dying Grand Admiral Thrawn. "Terrific, we can't use blasters, and we can't use lightsabers. So how did the Jedi of that era deal with them?" "Mostly they ran away, I can't remember a single story of a jedi taking out a shield one on his own." Luke and Mara when faced with a fully functional droideka. Yes and for those of you who haven't read the books...Here is an important moment. Luke: "You know, when we were fighting those sentinels down there, something happened to me, To us. We were so close in the Force that it was like we'd become a single person. It was...it was something very special." Mara: "Really? How special?" Luke: "You're not going to make this easy for me, are you?" Mara: "Oh, come now, when have I ever made anything easy for you?" Luke: "Not very often. Mara...will you marry me?" Mara: "You mean if we get out of here alive?" Luke: "I mean regardless." Mara: "Yes I willl." You know only a Jedi would propose when they're about to die

Rapora vs Thrawn = cool battles, don't you agree? Jade Scimitar is offline and damaged again you know what that means...Mara is p**sed. Just a question though, what do you think about the fight between the Rapora and Thrawn... Is Thrawn good enough or not? If Thrawn went against himself...well I think the Imperial Thrawn would defect, he wouldn't dare fight his own people, but if it came to a battle...Draw, both of them would know what the other was thinking and act accordingly. EDIT: Um...Cain I sent you an E-mail with a new avatar , did you recieve it?

WWII...and someone says france would have beaten everyone...I hope thats a joke. Actually Germany could have beaten Russia if they'd conducted their invasion properly. There is no way they could have held it however, because of a lack of man power. The failure of Barborssa came down to strategic incompetance on the part of the German high command. Mostly due to Hitler's personal mettling on the matter. In addition to the stupidity of Germany's nazi policies toward the Ukrainians, those two things insured Germany's failure in 41, and without a victory in 41 any victory by Germany was unthinkable.

Okay just great...I actualyl could get into the server for a change So here's the next episode, (It's kinda short cause I've been kinda busy) Captain Picard sat thinking as the damage reports came in. He turned back to the view screen and sighed slightly to himself, “Well, it’ll take us a few a few weeks at Shipyard for everything to be back in one piece.â€

Yeah probably a YT-120 or something...you have to wonder why all the weapons in KOTOR looked almost identical to the more modern weapons of Episodes IV-VI. You'd think they'd at least look different. I do think the Sith Starfighter from KOTOR is a really interesting design. Though I have no idea what its capabilities would be.
