Comparable in size to Stover's Equipment, or Troy's Corpehlion Interlude, or larger?

It was pretty long. Like "huge for a short story" long. About six and a half Insider magazine pages, with tiny font.

Maybe 20 paperback pages, then.

Beaming with pride, the filth they hold,
But when the wind blows, my temper implodes,
High above a pit, filled with sharkticons,
Down will come hardcover addicts, beaming no more. ©

It'll be a very worthy addition to the book. Don't think that the art would be included, though. sad

And RC:TZ has a glossary, IIRC...

A short story for Insider which introduced us to Kal Skirata and the Null ARC trooper Ordo.


Any relation to the Mandalorian clan Ordo from the Knights of the Old Republic series?

Karen has implied as much a few times, though I don't think she's explicitly confirmed it. What she has implied, I should clarify, is that there's a reason that name was taken by the fellow, since, being a clone, he's obviously not blood-related to the clan.

two quick questions for all those fans out there...

i was going over hard contact, and in the first two pages where Darmans original squad is killed, there is a mention of delta squad assisting them. Is this the same delta squad as in the video game??

and also, will ARC trooper Ordo be in triple zero?

thanks!

Yeah, it's them.

Yeah. He's actually a Null ARC, which we'll learn about in the book.

So after this comes out, will the only future Clone Wars products be the show?

Yes - unless or until KT gets contracted to write another one of these, which is possible, depending on how well this one sells. I've a feeling it'll probably do pretty well, and she's said she'd be more than willing to write the Star Wars: Republic Commando: Order 66 novel if given the chance... tongue Seriously, though, I think that final novel of the RC's would be the only other possible Clone Wars story we'd get besides the show. A pity, in some ways, as I think there's still material to be explored, but at the same time I think we're definitely suffering from Clone Wars fatigue after the last four years.

It includes all of the original protagonists - Omega Squad and Etain, as well as the Jedi Jusik that was briefly in the last one, and the squad from the game, and a couple other squads that weren't. cool

- Keralys


A couple...? Hmm...

I should have said "a couple of characters." My bad. I was referring the Null ARC's, Kal Skirata, and possibly Walon Vau.

Give it time. Give it time, and I bet we'll get more CW as the need for fill-in, retcons, and unification arises.

I'm inclined to agree. But I'm really actually quite glad for the respite - we really have been loaded to the brim with Clone Wars stories over the last four years, and it'll be nice to have a break from it, then come back to it. Interestingly, the way they told it, it kind of feels (in retrospect) like something that was happening in real-time, and that has actually ended now... odd. The NJO was supposed to capture that, and it may have, but I was younger at the time and wasn't following them as deeply - but more importantly, there was a lot more going on at a given point in the Clone Wars, between the cartoons, the comics, the books, and the games. It's just a lot more filled out, and they did it a lot faster. Interesting...
