UntimelyDemise

Yes, he did...

Elvis...you may be misunderstanding me...I'm talking to SS_Officer. You're both in merry ole England.

Unfortunately, no...

I seem to have the proper rank for an escort ship command, now.

So the Canadian military budget is being spent on Rebellion? It seems now would be the time for Quebec to take over!

I tried that once by setting all sectors to "High", but I didn't colonize the Rim. It was wild as hell, there were systems under both Imperial and Rebel control with no populations and no garrisons...weirdest thing I've seen in the game. I will try it with all colonized...that sounds like fun.

Hahahahahaha....I love the way you describe that...I just bomb the poor bastards...hahahahahahahaha

ME=Malfunctioning Edition

glandry: My strategy...probe droids. Build about 40 and send them on missions to Rim sectors. In a little while, you'll run into a couple of Rebel systems. Don't send fleets directly to the system...send it to a system right next to it, so the Rebs don't have any warning that you're about to blow them to smithereens. Sky: I've noticed the Mon Cals get to fight much too long, while ISDs' weapons go dark as soon as the first laser hits their hull. It really pisses me off. Therefore, I hunt Mon Cals down and kill them like the fish boats they are...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

What was this topic originally about, anyway???? ~~Untimely Demise fades to Yoda-speak again~~ Away, put your glasses! The Force, you seek, but find it, you won't! The Vision that is Double, affects you it does! Mmmmmm...a frog have I, in my throat. {cough}

I own the first two...my wife is an Austin Powers freak. I think she's got a thing for Mike Myers.

Yeah, I saw the Ark float by an hour ago! Really, though, we really needed that rain. Of course, I've got mushrooms growing all over my yard, now. I've never seen that before.

I suggest prescription glasses...

Sorry, I'm usually destroying the Rebel HQ by day 700 or earlier...I usually don't have time to build fleets with more than 30 ships.

SW...where ya been???

Ahhh...situation fixed! I'm now my proper rank...thanx!

Hey, I kinda like the looks of Droola...she reminds me of that shore leave on Dathomir...YEEEESH! I gotta get off this glitterstim...

Strike me down and i will become more powerful than you can ever imagine... ...Imagine all the People, Living Life in Peeeeeeeace...You-Hoo can say-aaa I'm a Dreamer....But I'm Not the Only One...I hope some Day-aaa you'll Join us....and the Worrrrrld will be as One... Damn, there I go again with the singin'

Well, my confused friends, Double Vision is an effect of the Force!

Hmmm...then how did they film Star Wars? You must be able to take screenshots of the Force. Tricky, this Force is...hard to take screenshots...

One lesson I've learned is with Lucas, not-for-profit makes no difference. It's using the material without their permission. Something about the "purity" of the story or some-such trash. I suppose we're just lucky we can talk about Star Wars without being thrown into court....

Hehehe...that could be an unofficial name for it!

Elfboy, I don't know about everybody else, but I would LOVE to see a screenshot of that!!!

Here's what I found... Alderaan system The Alderaan system once contained the planets Alderaan and Delaya, though Alderaan has since been destroyed. [sWAJ] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alderaan Alderaan, which once shared the Alderaan system with its sister planet Delaya, was a beautiful, peaceful, moonless planet and one of the foremost worlds of the inner systems. Its sweeping steppes and gentle hills were covered with rich grasslands, and weather patterns were predictable and pleasant. Though the planet lacked oceans, Alderaan had many shallow lake chains and one ice-rimmed polar sea. The various species of grasses covering the plains numbered more than 8000, and colorful flowers (including arallutes, T'iil, and Alderaan flame-lilies) were even more numerous. In late summer as the grasses dried, their seeds would be swept up by the winds in impressive "seedstorms," which were sometimes thick enough to prevent air travel. Alderaanian rainbow wood was a popular planetary export. Animal life on the world included huge saillike thrantas-- docile lighter-than-air beasts which were used as mounts and airborne taxis by Alderaan's inhabitants. Other animals included stilt-legged flightless birds and armored caterpillars, which metamorphosed into furry moths after a dozen years of living underground. Domesticated grazers and nerfs were raised as food sources, and every year lowly nerf herders would travel into the cities to sell their animals' meat. The Alderaanians culled the wildlife herds on the continent of Thonn to remove those animals too sick to survive the winter. Some of the galaxy's greatest artists and thinkers came from Alderaan, and the world was often considered the center of galactic culture. Certain artists used Alderaan's wide grasslands as their canvases, planting seeds in intricate patterns and displaying their art as it grew and blossomed. One of the world's greatest holidays was the "Silver Flow," celebrated each spring when thousands of hatching glimmerfish choked the waterways. Points of interest on Alderaan included the oro woods, which covered a dozen small islands in the planet's largest inland sea. The woods, dubbed a planetary treasure by Alderaan's government, were filled with trees hundreds of meters tall covered with brightly-colored lichens, and harbored gold-striped red deer and white cairoka birds. Elsewhere, on the northern steppes at the edge of Alderaan's great plains, lay the ancient and mysterious ruins collectively known as the Castle Lands. The ruins, former colony hives built by the long-vanished insectoid Killik race, were concentrated in eighteen groupings, each unique in appearance and each constructed during a different age. While Alderaan's human inhabitants chose to leave the Castle Lands intact, many artists often traveled there to seek creative inspiration. In other areas of the planet, some particularly clear, deep lakes were used as aquatic preserves where tourists could observe underwater mud castles built by crustacean colonies. The low-grade, blue quella gem is found only on Alderaan and Delaya. Out of their respect for life, the Alderaanian colonists refused to build their cities in the grasses of the fields. Instead, organic-looking cities and industries were built into the sides of deep cracks in the surface, on top of sandstone hills, under the polar ice, or on stilts in the planet's shallow seas. Terrarium City, also known as the City Under Glass, was built by first excavating an enormous bowl and filling it with a liquid polymer. The polymer was then shaped and hardened with lasers according to an intricate, pre-programmed city layout. When all eighteen levels of Terrarium City were completed, the bowl was capped with a transparent sheet and needlelike towers were extended above, so its residents could travel up to view the countryside. Crevasse City was built directly into the walls of a canyon network, and was nearly invisible from the air. Aldera, the capital city of Alderaan, was located on an island in the center of a circular lake. It was home to the famous Alderaan University, established generations ago by the great philosopher Collus. The university was one of the most prestigious learning institutions in the galaxy, and had recently been a center for dissent against Palpatine's New Order. The airy, organic architecture used everywhere on Alderaan inspired many imitators; Bespin's Cloud City, for instance, incorporates many elements of Alderaanian design. Millennia ago, the first human colonists came to Alderaan and discovered the remnants of the lost Killik civilization. The early colonists included miners, but most were retired businessmen or wealthy dignitaries searching for a beautiful world on which to spend their lives. Four thousand years ago, the Jedi knights Ulic and Cay Qel-Droma were born on Alderaan into a great warrior family. Following the chaos of the Clone Wars, the Alderaanians made a radical decision-- vowing to never again have weapons or standing armies on their world. The planet became a model of peaceful coexistence, and the people were known for their pursuit of knowledge and art. The Alderaanian government became a democracy at some point in its past, yet retained a Royal House of Alderaan for its symbolic value. In 11/70, Pre-Empire date, the Jedi Jorus C'baoth helped to resolve the Alderaan ascendancy contention, ruling in favor of Bail Organa's family line. The Organa royal family lived in Aldera, and included Senator Leia Organa, her adoptive father Senator Bail Organa (Viceroy and First Chairman of the Alderaan system), and her adoptive mother (Minister of Education). Other members of House Organa included Leia's aunts Celly, Tia, and Rouge, and her cousin Nial. Daughters of Alderaanian nobility were schooled at the Alderaan Select Academy for Young Ladies, then typically presented to the Emperor's Court on Coruscant to win a suitable marriage partner. Bail Organa was one of the original founders of the Rebel Alliance, making Alderaan a center for opposition and dissent and arousing the attention of the Empire. Alderaan is now famous as the planet utterly destroyed by the first Death Star as an example of Imperial power-- a scattered asteroid field is now all that remains of the once-lovely world. After the planet's destruction, the Empire initially claimed that Alderaan had torn itself apart due to the explosion of several secret underground superweapons. When actual footage of the Death Star's action (recorded by a satellite orbiting Delaya) was released to the media, the Empire admitted responsibility, but claimed it was necessary to prevent Bail Organa from completing a deadly biowar virus program. The surviving Alderaanians who were offworld at the time were invited by Emperor Palpatine to relocate to his private resort world of Byss. A hydroponics facility on the planet Borleias, producing Alderaanian foodstuffs, became extremely profitable after the destruction of the world increased demand for now-scarce Alderaanian goods. Besides the Organa family, other notable Alderaanians include Rogue Squadron member Tycho Celchu and the famous poet Hari Seldona.
