	Whooops... Actually, you have every reason to doubt, TIE. The last couple of entires have been fan-fic based on GODV and the sources that reference the series. "Musings on the nature of the Central Committee and the "false" Kadann led me to dream up the following fan fiction fixes (try saying that five times fast):" I should have put similar disclaimers on my other posts, lest anyone think that LFL has gone on a GODV referencing spree. I should also probably see if I can move the Sourcebook stuff to the fan fiction forum, so I don't confuse people. So, yeah, the Moffship being destroyed over Naboo I made up. The sections dealing with a page-by-page breakdown of GODV are established fact, though.

	So, yeah, the Moffship being destroyed over Naboo I made up. Kinda figured that. I was wondering, since I don't have The Dark Side Sourcebook, which is where I believe such a reference would be. The sections dealing with a page-by-page breakdown of GODV are established fact, though. Well, yeah. I knew that. I do have five of those books. -----signature----- Devi is my Padme Angel All Hail Megatron! The Tenth Doctor In Sleepy Tower - Third Place Winner

	Lord Shadowspawn? Does he really exist or it's in the fan-fiction, I'm confused :lol:. I think that it was the real Kadann who humiliated Makati, beacause it was during the reign of Palpatine I think. But perhaps your theories are well. I think that false Kadann was only an impostor from Ysanne Isard. It will be so cool if Lucasfilm could publish a Essential Guide for The Glove of Darth Vader series!

	Well, there really was a Lord Shadowspawn somewhere (what's the difference between him and Blackhole?) -----signature----- Fleet Junkie and Proud! Fics: Destiny's Inferno (TTT/DE AU) And the Skywalker Saga KOTOR Style Updated 7/24/06 see bio for details

	Lord Shadowspawn was mentioned in the Dark Empire Sourcebook, apprently as an in-joke reference to some other RPG. He was mentioned again in TEC, where his battle against the New Republic is shown to have taken place not long after GODV (which is why I decided to weave him in with the events surrounding the series.) Some people have suggested that he might be the same character as Blackhole, but under a different name. This idea was actually explored for, but purposefully dropped from, the Emperor's Hands article in Gamer. The article and the Rebellion Era Sourcebook both tend to indiacate that Blackhole and Shadowspawn were not the same character; so I felt free to invent my own persona for Shadowspawn (see Muzzer's entry over in the Grand Moffs thread.)

	Well let me try my hand at biography, this is all accurate though...though it suggests some stuff. BTW oddly, the story of Triclops is some of the darkest subtext in the entire EU. It's amongst the best too if you look at it the way I am. Triclops DE sourcebook, DE, GODVS, Insider, Star Wars RPG Sourcebook (1st edition) Emperor Palpatine surrounded himself with Dark Side minions in preparation for a Dark Side theocracy. He was continually in search for a Sith apprentice though as Darth Vader was treacherous and the other would-be Dark Lords were weak, equally treacherous, or stupid. He sought the heir of Skywalker in hopes of not only providing him with a noble line of hardy servants that could serve as an aristocracy that would rule his Empire effectively under him but also provide him with an eternal bloodline of bodies to house his awesome Dark Side power. This seemed to be an awfully large amount of trouble for those familiar with the power of the Force since the most obvious answer would be to simply sire children from one's own line. The Emperor was not the Chosen One, the Sithari that would bring Balance to the Force, but he was arguably the most powerful Sith Lord of all time. His children would be certain to carry the bloodline that would inherit the very traits that he demanded of the Skywalkers. Furthermore, like his clones, his heirs would be probably easier to dominate and enter. Triclops is the reason that the Emperor chose not to have any more children, the loathsome spawn of his concubine Roganda Ismaren Irek's pretensions aside. The Emperor was a man of many corrupt pleasures despite his deformed visage. He kept a harem of Twilek slave girls for his amusement, Roganda was one of many baubles in his court, and it is likely his seduction of the young fanatic Yssane Isard was one of many that he indulged. Triclops is his only known son and is likely any others were destroyed. Fewer greater dissapointments and shocking displays of the Emperor's cruelty exist than to his own child. Triclops was a hideous mutant from birth with his third functional eye the result of the twisted power of the Dark Side travelling down the Emperor's loins. If he ever had a proper name, the Emperor gave him none and Triclops is quite likely an insult out of disgust at his form. The child was indeed strong with the Force and possessed telekenesis, foresight, the ability to read minds, and a genius both technologically and politically. His hideous mutation would have not hampered the Emperor's plans much were not for the fact that for whatever reason, perhaps the Force mocking him, Triclops shared none of his father's corruption. He chose to become a devoted pacifist and philosopher instead of a practioner of the Dark Side. The Emperor might have killed him but whatever reason, pity is highly unlikely, he chose instead to try to corrupt the innocent soul to the Dark Side. Triclops bears scars all over his body from where the Emperor's torturers attempted to break him and his strange personality is indicative of the psychological isolation he has endured. Triclops possessed one trait of his father aside from sensetivity and genius, with an unbreakable will. The Emperor's best madmen were only able to result in a split personality with the traits desired. The personality was usually only manifest in sleep periods as well. Triclops was a near worthless failure. The Emperor left him abandoned in a prison colony as the man's peculiar ability to pull information from the minds of geniuses and put it together to create weapons of destruction was enough to justify his existence. Grand Moff Hissa would become "custodian" of Triclops briefly and it is during this time that the Grand Moff wrongly believed Palpatine kept Triclops a secret because the man was a serious contender for the throne of the Empire and might try to 'soften' the New Order or dismantle its war machine. Palpatine never intended to die but it is an understandable mistake. No record exists of Triclops' work but its noteworthy that his ability to draw information from other scientist's minds and put it together with his own genius would be very useful next to Maw Installation. If Grand Moff Tarkin knew of the man and made use of him as such, it is unknown. It is during here or during one of another prison's sentences that Triclops met a Jedi working amongst the ranks of the Empire's heart. It is quite likely she was hiding in plain sight. Kendalina, a Jedi with Royal Blood on her homeworld, and Triclops truly fell in love and consumated their match. Such relationships are not unknown on Kessel even amongst prisoners as none care if more slaves are born to die even with no crimes. Such a ruse could not last forever and she was eventually taken away to be executed, but not before apparently making contact with a Jedi. The fact Obi Wan Kenobi lead Luke Skywalker to the location of the terraforming station of the Jedi on Yavin IV may be mere coincidence but it is quite possible, especially given Kenobi's activities are largely undocumented and he confirmably survived to this perio, he in fact lead the daring rescue mission that saved the grandson of Palpatine from becoming the new heir attempt of the Emperor's evil. Triclops continued to rot until he sensed the presence of powerful force wielders of the light. They could not protect him entirely from the forces hunting him though and though he escaped his imprisonment on Duros surface, after mauling Hissa brutally by forcing him down into a pool of toxic waste with only his inhuman eye as his visage, and eventually Triclops parted ways to make his way to Yavin IV. For whatever reason, he eventually freed Prophet Kadann and Jegedar who met their demises soon after on Scardia. His current fate is unknown.

	What an absurd suggestion. Why have half-baked villians like Blackhole and Lumiya when you can have a true tactical genious like Son of the Return of Thrawn Part III 2.0?

	I have the personal theory that Thrawn was actually exceptional but not THAT exceptional amongst the Chiss. Basically, Formbi's handling of a crisis without breaking doctrine makes me think Thrawn was actually hot tempered and impatient. He couldn't handle things without screwing them up.

	He couldn't work with the system, that's my view. But yeah, anything to villianize Thrawn is fine by me. I can't stand this "St. Thrawn" nonsense that's been going on.
