As do I. As for my reason, I came to the realization that I spend more time online, and have more friends online, then I do in real life. So I am going to try and spend some time changing that. And don't worry Paul, I will keep the story running when I find the time.

Just so yhou all know, I might now be with you after the next few days. Personal reasons. If the admins of this site want access to what I have dubbed the official swrebellion map, PM me, and I will give you all access to it.

Sorry, but I also perfer the empire. Assassinating rebels and freely bombarding planets and building death stars > Silly rebel "Think of the children" tactics.

Ok, I axed some of the excess markers that were botched attempts at getting it right. Also, Defender, which of your markers is the correct one? I see you have three up there, which one should I save? And by the way, thank you to all that have participated in the map thus far. Now I know where to send the assassins. I mean, uhhh..... flowers, that's it. Flowers. Yah.

It's en email, been circulating around the web for years. makes a few valid points, however, especially about politics.

Ok, I will see if I can edit it and get rid of some of the botched markers. Don;t think i can though.

A puny little town in Minnesota, USA. Small, queit, a few bars, and lots of college chicks. I like it. Oh, and by the way.... http://www.mapservices.org/myguestmap/showguestmap.do?id=swrebellion I think this would work better for us.

Wow, this makes three big SW fan films I have on my comp now. Thanks for that one Tex.

(Editors note: Yah, they do have a chance. Where we are sitting in the storyline right now, the Empire is just starting to get into a groove that will continue for a while. There are a few ruts in the road ahead though, for both sides.) Commander Ush'la growled slightly as the forces arrayed against his changed their position once again. Everytime he tried to move his forces to flank theirs, they moved just enough to stop him. He glanced down at his sensor board, and saw to his horror that all of his starfighters were now gone. "Blast. Can't our gunships hit those uglies?" he asked, and his sensor officer shook his head. "No, sir. Whatever they are, they are moving faster than any other ugly I have ever seen. They seem to be concentrating on the Firehawk right now though." he said, and Ush'la nodded, noting that a lot of them were flying around the starboard frigate in his formation, nibbling away at it's shields. "Have out gunships move to support the Firehawk for now. And tell the convoy gunships to prepare to move forward if we need them." he ordered, and he looked out his viewport. This was proving to be a very difficult battle. Perhaps it was a good thing they had called in reinforcements. ********************************************************** "Well, Admiral, it looks like the comander took your bait, assuming that is why you had all your starfighters attack that frigate." Teshik said, and Pelleon nodded. "It was. Have our corvettes begin a run against those gunships. Afterwards, they are free to begin attacking the freightors." he said, and he watched as his corvettes chot out from behind the formation of vessels they were hidden behind. As they moved to attack the gunships, Pelleon smiled as the gunships started to move back into the protection of the dreadnaught. "Too little, too late. The battle is mine." Pelleon said, and Teshik nodded. "That it is, Admiral. But you must admit, he did quite well." Teshik quipped, and Pelleon was forced to agree. Whoever this person was, was far to good to be leading convoys. ********************************************************** "Commander! Enemy corvettes are making arun for our gunships!" came the snesor officers voice, and Ush'la shot to his feet. "Call them back to our flanks! now!" he ordered, but he knew it was to late. He watched as the corvettes dove into the battle, their dual turblolasers pounding away at the gunships. Teh gunships' sheilds held for a moments, but then fell apart under the withering barrgaes. They almsot seemed to halt in place as the corvettes passes by them. As the corvettes finished thier pass and moved on to attack the convoy, Ush'la sat back in his chair. His gunships were now in flames, dead in space. And his convoy was now at the mercy of the corvettes. "Order all freightors to scatter, and make leaps to hyperspace. We will cover them as much as we can. After they are gone, we will make a run towards where the Homestar should be leaving hypserspace." he said, and he sighed. he had been beaten by pirates. Not a highest point of his career ever. ********************************************************* "Admiral, it appears that the convoy is scattering. They are running." the sensor officer said, and Pellon nodded. "Le them run. We did what we came here to do. begin calling back starfighters and our corvettes, but try to keep it as random as possible. I want to get out of here before any reinforcements arrive." p[elleon said, and teshik nodded. "A good idea. We have more than enough data for now. And personally, I don;t like the cramped spaces of this vessel. I would prefer to be on the bridge of a Star Destroyer as soon as possible." Teshik said, watching as pairs of starfighters began turnign away fromt eh battle. "Very true Admiral Teshik. I myself wish to be back aboard the bridge of my flagship. And also, If I am correct,. we will get back to Imperial space just in time for our next operation." Pelleon said, and Teshik frowned. he had not yet thought about thier next step. "And what would that be Gillead?" he asked, and Pelleon smiled. "Nothign much. Just evening up the odds a bit more. And if you are bring to our side who I think you may be, they will be of great use to us in this step." he said, a smile growing on his lips.

(Editors Note: ok, here is part one of the first battle invovling TIE-Sabres. Sorry it took so long to get around to this part. Work is overwhelming right now.) Admiral Pelleon sat on the bridge of the Assault Frigate that was his flagship for this operation. He had never liked the cramped spaces of the elderly dreadnaughts, and the modifications the New Republic made to them to convert them only made things worse. As he glanced at his chrono, He heard a hiss as the door to the bridge opened. He turned his head slightly, and from the corner of his eye caught a glipmse of a bright white uniform. Pelleon turned his head back to the white lines of hyperspace that were flowing around the vessel. "We should be arrive at Altherix VII within 5 minutes Admiral. The Chimeara and Condemned should already be on station in case anything goes wrong." Pelleon said. Teshik walked up beside him, and smiled. "Two Imperial Star Destroyers will be of great use if we need them. But we shouldn't need them if our intelligence is any good. This should just be the standard military resupply convoy. Nothing overly special. Just what we need to try out our new starfighters." he said. Pelleon nodded, but he still felt better having backup in case they were needed. "Admirals, we will be leaving hyperspace in 30 seconds, I recommend you sit down. This beast exits hard." came a call from the helm officer, and Teshik smiled. "Well Admiral, Let us see how our planning has gone thus far, shall we?" Teshik said, and Pelleon nodded. "Prepare all starfighters for launch." Pelleon said, and he leaned forward in his chair. ****************************************************** Commander Ush'la sat in the command chair of his flaship, the Dreadnaught Overlay Delight. He stared out the viewport of the bridge, a scowl on his face. He was an old hand at escoprting these convoys to the front lines. And he was getting tired of them. All he ever did was escort convoys these days. In nearly twenty years of service to the rebellion, and then the New Republic, he had occrued more combat experiance than then most people above him in the chain of command. As far as he was concerned, he should be on the front line leading warships into battle, not escorting convoys. "Commander, we have unidentified contacts leaving hypserspace at twelve-nine-alpeh. Orders?" came a voice from the sensor station. Ush'la smiled, and leaned back in his chair. This was different. And anything different made his life more interesting. "Pull IFF transponders for all vessels. And give me types if you can." he said, and he got the answer immediatly. "I'm seeing one assault frigate, no IFF transponder. Two Corellian corvettes, no IFF. Two vessels that vaguely resemble bulk cruisers, no IFF. and one bulk freightor, no IFF. Fighters are being deployed. Class unknown." came the repsonce, and Ush'la nodded. "Pirates more than likely. Launch all starfighters, set the convoy into formation Alexis Prime. What is the nearest warship to our position?" he asked, and the sensor officer looked to him. "The nearest vessel is the Moc Cal Homestar. Fifteen minutes jump. Unknown forces moving to engage us." the officer said, and Ush'la nodded. Their forces were evenly matched so far. And he knew he could outwit any pirate commander with ease. But it never hurt to be safe. "Contact the Homestar, and ask for their assistance. Deploy starfighters in a screen to engage theirs before they got to us. ETA to engagements?" he asked and he looked out the viewport. The two Corellian gunships under his command were moving to flank his falgship, as were the two Nebulon-B frigates that had joined him for this escort. "One minute Commander. Still no mtach to the starfighters." the officer said. Ush'la nodded, and continued to stare tou the viewport. "Probably some new type of ugly. Let's show them what real starfighters are capable of, shall we?" he said, and a chuckle came from across the bridge. ***************************************************** General Turr Phennir, leader of the elite Imperial 181st Wing, smiled as he saw the formation of starfighters expand in front of him. This was going to be fun. "All fighters, keep yur speed standard to that of a TIE fighter until we are right on top of them. Then let loose with full speed, and tear them apart. Let's put these things through the paces everyone. The eyes of Admiralty are watching." he said, and heard a long series of acknowledgements. Every member of his fighter wing knew that Grand Admiral Teshik and Admiral Pelleon were here for this operation, and he wanted to give them the best show his people were capable of. As he watched his sensors, he counted the seconds until he could let loose with the engines. So far, the enemy forces were treating his group like they would any other group of Ugly starfighters. He smiled, knowing it would be the last mistake any of them made. ****************************************************** "Keep our vessels in a loose formation. Order all gunners to scatter half their shots. Have a squad of the blastboats jump out ahead ten seconds early. Remember, we're pirates this time, not Imperials. Let's make this convincing." Pelleon ordered, and Teshik watched the sensor screens in front of him. "Watch those freightors, some of them might be armed." Teshik said, and Pelleon nodded. "Yes, some of them will be armed. Every fourth freightor in the outer ring will have defensive weapons. There will also be a squadron of either A- of X-wings hidden in amongst them." Pellon said, and Teshik smiled. "I take you you have faced this commander before?" Teshik asked, and Pelleon nodded. "Years ago, before Endor. We ambushed a Rebel convoy, which set up in this exact formation. The dreadnaught at the battle escaped. This is the same vessel. What are the oods two commanders would use the same formation years apart?" he asked, and Teshik nodded. "Very low. Excellent memory Admiral." Teshik said, and he then noticed that the starfighteres were about to engage each other. *********************************************************** Commander Reskit sat in his cockpit, his eyes on the starfighters out in front of him. His sensors could not give him a direct lock on what he was facing, so he assumed uglies. Nothing he hadn't faced before. "Alright, prepare for to engage. X-wings and A-wings, hit the starfighters, B-wings more to hit that frigate. Let's do this people." he ordered, and he looked to his target lock sensor board. Just as the enemy starfighters came into range of his guns, they suddenyl shot forward and broke into seperate groups then pairs, far faster than any ugly he had ever seen. "Son of the Sith, those things are fast. Watch your backs' people." he ordered, and suddenly th starfighters were all around him. He arced his starfighter towards one of the enemy ships, but before he could get a lock, his warning alarm went off. he jerked the control sitck hard to the left, but not before laser fire slapped his shields. He reached over to adjust his shields to compensate, but before he could, more laser fire slammed into his sheilds, the last few bolts breaking through. As the laser fire ate away at his ship, all he could think was how silly it was to have been beaten by pirates. ***************************************************** "Commander, our starfighters are taking a beating. Whatever those uglies are, they are fast. Our gunners can't even get a holding lock to get a shot." the sensor officer said, and Ush'la nodded. "Alright, Pull our starfighters back, get those enemy fighters closer to our gunships. And move our frigates forward, we will need their firepower to handle those bulk cruisers." he ordered, and he leaned back in his chair. This was getting interesting. He just hoped it didn't get to interesting. ******************************************************** "Admiral, thier starfighters in falling back into the protection of the larger vessels. The enemy frigates are moving forward." the sensor officer called, and Pelleon smiled. "He is trying to counter our cruisers. Move our forces forward, but have the Corvettes hold back for now, and fall in slightly behind us. And let the first group of blastboats loose. Remember ten second delay on the blastbaots, then let the whole group loose." pelleon ordered, and Teshik smiled. "An Altrurian gambit. Hold back lighter vessels as if to protect them, then let them loose for a surpise punch. Risky, but effective when it works." Teshik said, and Pelleon smiled. "Close, Admiral. This is a move I learned from the late General Iblis. All we have to do now, is wait for them to foul themselves the right way." Pelleon said, and Teshik tilted his head to the side slightly, and stared at the sensor screen. Soon, the corvettes vanished from the sensors as their image was fouled by the backwash from the larger ships engines. Slowly, teshik smiled as he realised what Pelleon was doing. He would have to remember that tactic for future use.

(Editors note: Well thought out Paul. You are correct. And for that, you will get a prize, if you so desire it.. And by the way, I am currently working a lot of overtime, almost 80 hours a week, so parts of the story will be far and few between right now. Blasted thanksgiving holiday.)

(Editors Note: Sorry about the delay, had a long couple of days filled with drama. Paul, what made you come to that conclusion about the CSA? Just curious.) Pelleon stared out the viewport of his flagship, his eyes darting back and forth quickly. Outside, the laser blasts of vessels firing upon each other dominated the view. "Order the Dragons' Bane to fall back to our starboard flank, those vessels are not going anywhere. And have TIE group two move to block that Corvette from leaving the system. We cannot let any ships escape." he said, and he watched as his orders were carried out. Compared to the battle of Soullex, this was mere childs play. Pirate groups were never known for their brilliance in tactics. This group in particular was well known for simply using brute force to win fights. Unfortunetly, brute force didn't help them at all here. The pair of Star Destroyers and trio of Dreadnaughts Pelleon had brought with him were mre then enough to capture the vessels. "Admiral, we have commications with someone claiming to be the leader of the Pirates. Captain Ordi Kithysh." an officer called out from the pit, and Pelleon smiled. "Good. Inform her that if she orders her vessels to stand down now, her life, and the lives of her crews will be spared. " he said, and the comm officer nodded. Pelleon looked out the viewport again, and added up the number of ships that he was capturing. Their flagship, an elderly Rebel Assualt Frigate, was one of the largest pirate vessels in existance. Where they had captured it, Pelleon had no idea. But that one vessel alone made this pirate group as dangerous as it was. Next to the frigate, a pair of Corellian Corvettes hung in close, their engie dead from ion barrages. Both of those vessels had been captured from the Empire in recent months, and Pelleon was happy to have them back. Sitting a ways away from the main force, hung a massive Bulk Freightor, which the pirates used to ferry around their swarm of starifghters. Surrounding the freightor was a squadron of blastboats and freightors, all of them trying to fend off the TIE starfighters that were keeping them trapped. Pelleon hated throwing TIEs away ike that, but it had to be done. No vessel couldbe allowed to leave. "Admiral, the captain has accepted your offer. All vessels are standing down. She says two more bulk cruisers will be jumping in system soon. They are the other vessels of her fleet." the officer said, and pelloen nodded. he had wondered where those two ships were. "Excellent. Inform the good captain that she will be having a meeting with me. And contact the Badi Dea, and inform them it is safe to ump in system now." he said, and he walked to the back of the bridge. As he sat in his chair, he allowed himself to wonder what target the Grand Admiral would choose to hit with this new force. It wouldn;t be a large target, they did not have the time to overhaul the ships properly, as they could not be placed in any major shipyards. But at the same time, it would have to be a well defended target, to truly test the capabilities of the TIE-Sabres. Either way, he knew teshik would be able to find a suitable target. There was a galaxy full of them. And with this fleet, they could assault any of them, without fear of reprisal. And once the attack was done, they could simply abandon the fleet, leaving no trace of the fact that they had ever taken it. It was a good plan, one that pelleon was going to have fun executing. And at the same time, they would be once again humiliating the new Republic. And Pellon had no reason to argue with that.

One of the fastest (albeit risky) ways to win the game is to assault Coruscant immediatly. Grab all your vessels, put them in one fleet, take as many starfighters with you as you can, and just attack. Now, the trick to doing this is what vessels you have to start out with. If you don't have a carrier, forget about it. And you need at least two bulk cruisers. Have all bulk cruisers and corvettes tangle with the Star Destroyer. You may lose a lot of them, but don't worry. All other vessels and Fighters are to take out the TIEs. Once those TIEs are gone, the Star Destroyer should retreat, even if you are losing, thanks to a terrible AI. Once that happens, if you think you can handl;e it, chase it around the sector. If you can get it to run a few more times, the whole sector should turn over to your side. Now, all you have to do is sit back, and take your time. Even on hard, I have never seen the Empire recover from losing Coruscant that fast.

You people are thinking of Triculos(sp?). Supposedly, he tried taking control of the Empire just before the fall of Zsinj. In the end, I think he was executed by The Prophets of The Dark Side. That series also has Jabbas father, Zorba, in it. Along with a hidden city of the Jedi, a young boy named Ken, and a whole lot of other wierd stuff. Junk, all of it.

(Editors note: here be the next installment. And for those of you who ever think of blindly assualting a Imperial garrison, a word of advice. Turbolasers hurt. A LOT.) Grand Admiral sat in the observation room of th amassive repair dock, staring out at the massive bulk of the [iGaurdian[/i]. Workers could be seen swarming over the ships hull, repairing years of neglect. Hanging farther away from the station, he could barely see the rear section of the Super Star Destroyer Lusaknya. That vessel had taken a masive amount of damage to the engine sections, and would take months of repair work to be operational again. As Teshik watched, he could hear Pelleon walk through the doors behind him. Without turning around he nodded, and smiled. "How are the repairs going so far?" he askend and Pelleon grimaced. "Not well. It will be several more days before the engines of the Gaurdian will be ready for their test run. As for the Lusankya, as the crew abandoned the ship, they appear to have shot almost everything in sight with blasters. They knew it woas going to be captured, so they did a much internal damage as possible. Not to mention all the last-minute booby traps we found. It will be months before we will be ready to try to do anything with it." he said, and Teshik nodded. "I expected nothing less. But it is of no consequence. We will not need either of the vessels for some time yet. For now, the important part is that we took bth of them away from the New Republic, and embaressed them at the same time." he said, and Pelleon nodded. "This may be true, but we should expect some retaliation. I think they may already be preparing for one, judging by some of their fleet movements." he said, and Teshik nodded. "This may be true. But, they would have a hard time doing anything about it. They attacked an independent world, that had asked for our help in removing an Imperial opressor. Basically, we were doing what the New Republic does. They arrived as the aggressors, and we rightfully defended outselves." Teshik said, an Pelleon smiled. "Very true. But in case they do attack, what are we going to do? We have all of our forces tied up now defending our borders, or searching for Tavira." he said, and Teshik nodded. "I am aware of this. I have sent a delegate out to possibly bring another warfleet to our aid. A rather large, if old, fleet." he said, and Pelleon grimiced. Almsot every warfleet outside the Empire or New Republic were allied with teh New Republic, or nuetral. he couldn;t think of any that would openly ally themselves with the empire anyways. "May I ask who you are referring to? Or are you going to keep it a surprise?" Pelleon asked, and Teshik laughed slightly. "I think I will keep it a secret. For now, however, I think it is time we plan our next course of action. Am I to understand that the first wing of TIE-Sabres is ready for battle?" he asked, and Pelleon nodded. "Yes. The One-Eighty-First has been training in the sims for several weeks now. And the first wing of starfighters has been sent to them for space try-outs. What kind of action were you thinking? I doubt the New Republic is going to fall for the same trick we used at Soullex." he said, and Teshik thought about it for a moment. "You are right on that account. But I think i have an idea as to how we will test them out." he said, and Pelleon riased one of his eyebrows. "And how would that be? We can't exactly dump them from a Star Destroyer into a sytem the Republic controls." Pelleon said, and Teshink nodded in agreement. "True. But, who said we had to use a Star Destroyer?" he asked, as slowly a plan formed in his head.

Jessica Alba is my choice for Princess Leia. And yes, Frakes was the hos of that "Beyond Belief" show. But I still can see him pulling off the cocky Solo attitude.

I know it was explained somewhere, but I can't remember exaclty why Sith usually have red blades. Interesting note, Exar Kun had a dual saber, with bright blue blades. His apprentice had deep orange, if I remember correctly.

Ooohh..... Good thinking Mad. Johnny Depp would make an awesome Wedge Antilles.

Imagine, if you will, that one day, George Lucas decides to go and remake the original Star Wars trilogy. Nightmarish, isn't it? But that is not the point. The real point is, who would he cast into the roles of the main charachters? Who would get to play the rougish Han Solo? Who could fill the shoes of the naive farmboy Luke Skywalker? Who could entrance us with her regal bearing as Princess Leia? And what about everyone else? This is what I want to know!! Personally, these would be my picks. As the Naive Farmboy, I wouold have to go with Edward Fuflong: http://www.edward-furlong.com/postcard/03.jpg Mr. Furlong is best known for his role as Danny Vinyard, in American HIstory X. But he has had many other roles, all of which he did quite well, even rising above piss poor writing inthe fourth Crow installment. As for the never say die, go against all odds smuggler Han Solo, I would have to go, oddly enough, with this man: http://www.vidiot.com/UPN/images/PB/ParaNormalJF.gif Jonathan T Frakes., better known as William T Riker, from Star Trek TNG. As for this pick, to me Frakes has the best chance at pulling off Han Solos' overall attitude. Granted, he is getting on in years and would have to dye his hir some, but still. Ah yes, the lovely Leie Organa (Solo). Princess of Alderaan, twin sister of Luke Skywalker, leader in the rebellion. For this role, I would have to say a famous starlet would be perfect. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v445/droiger/Jessica_Alba_192071g.jpg Why? She can pull off the regal look, the herion look, and the leader look. And I bet she would look so cute with her hair up in those odd buns... Moving on, who do we get to play the old sand hermit/teacher/jedi Master Obu Wan Kenobi? Intelligent, wise, patient, all of these things are what make him so danged cool. And frankly, who better to play an eldery sword weilding good guy, then none other than a elderly, sword weilding good guy? http://24ur.com/media/images/extra/Jul2001/1005215.jpg Sean Connery is one of the best actor out there. He is the right age. He has that wise, all knowing attitude when he wants it. That, and his accent makes him just that much cooler. Grand Moff Tarkin. Controller of the Death Star. Killer of Alderaan. A hard role for anyone. They would have to be tall, thin, and have that just plain evil look to them. http://www.columbiatristar.fr/03/espion_demi/main/img_film/c_dowell.jpg Malcom McDowell fits the bill, doesn't he? And better yet, his voice is crisp. Clean. Imperial. A perfect actor for this role. As for the rest, I don't know. Lando Calrissian would be hard to portray. james Earl Jones will ALWAYS be the voice of Darth Vader. What other major roles are there to fill? And who would you want as the actors for a modern day Star Wars?

(Editors Note: You guessed so many times, and never got close. Good ideas though, especially with the Ssi-Ruuk.) Admiral Ackbar stared at the bacta tank, in which General Antilles was floating. He still had not regained conciousness, and was not likely to awaken for several more days. Whcih was all for the better. It would likely be that l;ong before they had everything sorted out. "What is his conditon captain?" Ackbar asked, and the medical technician watching over him sighed. "He was pretty banged up when they got him here. Major cocussion, several borken bones, lacerations just about everywhere, second and third degree burns over 30 percent of his body. From what I understand, most of the other bridge crew was killed. Im surprised he made it this far." the woman said, and Ackbar nodded. "General Antilles is the only surviving member of the command staff from the bridge. Several crew members went to the bridge to check for survivors before they evacuated, and found him alive." Ackbar said, and the tech nodded. "He was lucky, Admiral. Very lucky. He will not likely remember much of it, however. It wouldn;t surprise me if he lost all memories from the previous several days. It is not uncommon with injuries of this sort." she said, and Ackbar sighed. "Alright. Keep me informed captain. If he awakens, I want to be notified at once." Ackbar said, and the tech nodded. "As ordered, Admiral." she said, and Ackbar turned and left the medical center. As he walked, he wondered how Wedge would take the news of what had happened. It was not very often a general loses his entire command, and lives to tell the tale. As he entered his office, he found General Cracken waiting for him. Ackbar walked around to the chair behind his desk, and sat down. He looked to Cracken, and nodded. "Thank you for seeing me Admiral. The final reports are in on the losses we suffered at Soullex. A few starfighters are appearing her and there, but I am certain not many more will." he said, and Ackbar leaned back in his chair. "What were our total losses, General?" Ackbar asked, and Cracken grimaced. "Exceptionally heavy. Every vessel larger than a starfighter in General Antilles force is gone, most were destroyed, but we know for certain the Lusankya was captured, along with perhaps the Whirlwind. As for starfighters, 79% of the starfighters from his force were destroyed. It was about as close as you can get to complete destruction." he said, and Ackbar closed his eyes. An entire task force was gone, because of his orders. "What of General Iblis' task force?" Ackbar asked, and Cracken shook his head. "About as bad. Iblis' flagship was destroyed almost the moment the second wave of Imperial vessels arrived. Along with that vessel, a Mon Cal cruiser, the Stormfront, and the Star Destroyer Silver Ray were lost. There was heavy damage to all other vessels. Starifghters losses total about 53 percent." he said, and Ackbar shook his head. "General, this entire fiasco just may be the end of my career as Supreme Commander of the New Republic military." Ackbar said, and Genreal cracken looked up. "Admiral, i know we took a heavy hit, with the loss of Iblis and the Lusankya, and it can't be that bad." Cracken said, and Ackbar shook his head. "General, we lost far more than that. How many good people are now in the hands of the Empire? How much vital information was stored abord those vessels? How many ships will they turn back against us? The onyl way this could have been worse was if they had manged to Capture General Antilles." he said, and Cracken nodded. "This is all true. But still, who would have known they would feild that many vessels? Our worse case scenario was no where near this bad. I didnl;t even know Pelleon was capable of feilding a fleet that large." he said, and Ackbar smiled. "None of us were. But still, someone must be blamed for this. And I have every intention of taking responsibily for it all. I planned, and ordered the execution of, this mission. All blame will fall to me." he said, and Cracken frowned. "Admiral, we both know this is not your fault." Cracken said, and Ackbar sighed. "While this may be true, general, only we and the Force will know it. Let us both hope that that is all it takes to get us through this."

(Editors Note: No, not really. A few people get whacked around, a few battles take place. But what the surprise is, who joins in the war. It through us for a loop, right from the back of left feild.)

I think it is easiest to hook up through MSN messenger these days.

At its peak, the Epire had just over 25,000 Star Destroyers of mutliple types. And hundreds of thousands of support vessels. Can you imagine naming all of them? Yech... I hope they paid that guy well.

(Editors Note: Sorry Paul, but we got captured at Soullex, and didn't escape for several months, so I am trying to write up what happened in those months, as we had nothing to do with any of it. And a lot happened, some of which will come as a complete and total mind-screw to you.)

Your location, wrong it is!! College, attend I did not. Change it you should...
