We're awaiting another update dude!!-Grand Moff Conway

I've been around since the old days and love this site. It gives me a place to discuss Star Wars and my favorite game Rebellion!! Great going and here is to even more growth.-Grand Moff Conway

You are doing a grand job Grand Admiral Thrawn! I'm glad that you are once again playing rebellion. I'm constantly playing as I have been for years. -Grand Moff Conway

Good job, now continue hunting down those rebels.-Grand Moff Conway

How did you get them back dude? Just wondering what tactics you used.- Grand Moff Conway

Oppression is all fine and dandy but diplomacy works wonders on those rebel loving fools. In my game I have many Imperial diplomats. I believe that the Empire would use any means necessary to turn planets into loyal worlds. And of course I have a strong military to back up the diplomats. The galaxy will be Imperial by hook or by crook!-Grand Moff Conway

Interesting fleet makeups mine are as follows: Main battle fleets come in two types- 1 Kaiser class SSD with 3 Victory or 3 Victory II SD's along with 1 Dominator class Interdictor SD. Second type of main battle fleet: 3 Imperial or Imperial II SD's with 3 Victory Class SD's with 1 Dominator class Interdictor SD. Now when the Vindicator class SD is researched the fleet makeups are altered to include 3 Vindicator SD's instead of the Imperial class SD's. The Guardian also replaces the Victory class SD's as soon as it is researched. For Sector fleets I don't have a set pattern I build to suite the situation. But generally it consists of 1 Imperial or Imperial II class SD with 3-4 Victory class SD's with a mixture of Carracks, Lancers, Dreadnaughts, and finishing up with a Dominator class Interdictor SD. While these fleets are not huge they can be combined for projects as I see fit. When I need overpowered fleets I build a Deathstar or two, but generally that is overkill. As to troops and fighters I startout with stormtroopers and upgrade to clonetroopers and darktroopers as they are researched. Fighters are a mixed bag as research allows I upgrade but find the TIE Intercepter to be a good deal-Grand Moff Conway

Well it obviously works for you so my advice for you is don't mess with a good thing! Your way and mine are definately different but we both get the galaxy over to our glorious Imperial side. We both use fleets to do battle with so what are your ideas on fleet makeup?-Grand Moff Conway

I tend to be a bit more cautious when it comes to my garrisons-6 clonetrooper regt's- 9 TIE or TIE Interceptors-and an espienage droid. And don't get me wrong, I'm no pacifist I use force frequently; I just use diplomacy as well. Sort of the carrot and the stick approach. Why invade neutral systems when diplomacy is easier and takes not much more time. By neutering your diplomats you've taken away one of the tools of any good ruler. But each to his own as long as we are all Imperials that's all that matters.-Grand Moff Conway

I have never been one to intentionally bring on an uprising. It requires too many troops and risks your characters getting killed or injured while trying to suppress the thing. Using diplomats or better yet Lord Vader to do diplomatic missions may take time but is cheaper in the long run. As for what diplomats to use it depends on what diplomats you have in your version of the game. My setup has more diplomats than the standard Imperial setup, so I have more available. Use what you have around with good skills. As far as Skywalker is concerned I don't worry about him much. If noghris can't get him don't worry about it. Just invade the planet and eventually you'll get him anyway. He can't hide forever.-Grand Moff Conway

First you should try a nohgri abduction mission on Luke ASAP, then if you get luke invade the two rebel planets and use diplomats to get the planets loyal to you. Be sure to only invade 1 planet at a time; then use the diplomats then invade the other planet after loyalty for you is at 100%.-Grand Moff Conway

I actually consider Noghris to be cheap when you consider their usefulness. Anyways are you using the original cost for them or an edited price? -Grand Moff Conway

I'd join up and try to get a job in the inevitable new governors office. -Grand Moff Conway

Well then let's be truthful- you are still depriving the rebels of key personell. So in theory either way you are doing them harm.-Grand Moff Conway

Try building a small fleet of Victory SD's fill with troops, TIE's and Noghri's then send them in to attack and assassinate the rebels. Take along commanders that have diplomatic skills and you may invade and pacify some planets after killing the rebel diplomatic corps. -Grand Moff Conway

We (or they) are talking about Star Wars Rebellion. A really great game- my favorite game of all time! -Grand Moff Conway

The Empire did have cloaking technology at least according to the article on the Grand Admirals that appeared in Star Wars Insider. Grand Admiral Martio Batch developed the Phantom fighters. However the rebel scum destroyed the project base and Batch was assasinated by his angry troops. The cloacking device Thrawn found at Mount Tantiss must have been based on different technology. -Grand Moff Conway

I actually do use diplomats as well. I have many in my set up as I tended to give many of my cards diplomatic skills as well as command skills.-Grand Moff Conway

Good going, I have never played as the rebels- just couldn't do it. I am an Imperialist by nature. One thing to remember is to have a powerful military machine. You must have troops, fighters, and numerous powerful fleets. Good luck in future wars of oppression. -Grand Moff Conway

Very good, as usual. I hope you enjoy your away time.-Grand Moff Conway

Very good edition, though I myself am a Sith fanatic. Keep up the good work.-Grand Moff Conway

Grand Admiral Thrawn , it's good to see you. I've been out of commission the last two weeks- been in the hospital again. As for why I love the Imperials it's my basic desire to see evil triumph. I don't worry about moral issues- destroy planets as we see fit. The moment I saw Darth Vader choke the rebel captain I was hooked. -Grand Moff Conway

I own both sets, original and special edition. I enjoy both versions.-Grand Moff Conway.

In the films my favorite is as always Darth Vader- I love a good villian. I also like Grand Moff Tarkin and Piett.In EU there are a few Daala, Thrawn, Paelleon, and of course "Iceheart" Ysanne Isard. Both Daala and Isard had much more potential than the writers gave them.-Grand Moff Conway

My favorite quote is by my favorite character before he returns to the light side Darth Vader "I find your lack of faith disturbing" to Admiral Motti abourd the first Death Star. -Grand Moff Conway
