remember that the ARC's and especially the Null are notorious for bieng free-willed, or atleast the first couple of batches. the only ARC in the book (that I recall) doesnt act much different than Alpha did in Dark Horse

But I laughed my heart out at the opening page, those poor Omegas, when will they ever get a break? laugh

Dar is definately shaping up to be one of my favorites. In my opinion, Hard Contact and 000 feel much more Starwars-like then the entire NJO because it didnt involve the Jedi Vs Vong Vs Force Canon conflict overdose, but I can understand why you feel the way you do Jango_Fettish.

I love Etain because she is flawed but at her core still tries to be an honorable/caring Jedi. (Akin to LSF Revan minus the excellent tatical/leadership skills already honed to near prefection.)

Heck, shes my favorite Jedi along with Revan/Obi-Wan, athough Vos is catching up. *I just started reading the Republic comics.

Dont get me wrong, I love reading about the Jedi/the Force and such but sometimes I need a break from them, besides Force-users dont always = Best Starwarsy Feeling ever, for me anyway.

Edit: Played Republic Commando and loved it, those Deltas are a laugh riot, plus one had Carth's voice......*Drool*

Even better, Silver Mane, she's not beautiful. It's possible she'd look scrawny on a cover. Staring at you, of course, but that's standard annoyance for cover arts.

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. ©

WHAT... you Quin isnt your favorite Jedi... HERESY I SAY.

No, not really.. Clone Wars was filled with great characters that we only got to see for a comparitively short times, whilst were stuck with the Big Three into the forseeable future..

I hope that the Jabiimis aren't lead by another JohnTravolta-from-BattlefieldEarth lookalike.

Are the Jabimites hoping to poison the water supply of Coruscant, or what exactly?

*takes a second to get ecstasy under control*
Okay, I've got a few questions for you, Rohniss:
1. Who are the new Null ARCs?
2. What is Walon Vau like?
3. Are Darman and Scorch the only RCs who don't hate someone from the other squad?
Can't wait to get this!

1. Dont have book with me right now.. but it names all 6 of the surviving ones.. Kal does..

2. Walon is... Walon.. I didnt really like him or his methods, think Gunnery Sgt. Hartmann (from Full Metal Jacket).. you'll see. i particularly dont like what he did to Atin.

3. Pretty Much.. pretty much everyone gets over thier dislike at the end.. to kill the BG's.. its actually quite common in real life.. the stories I could tell what happens when the 101st Airborne and the 82nd ever meet.. *shudder*

Thanks very much, but I've never seen Full Metal Jacket.
Could you go into a little more detail?

Vau gets results by being almost sadistically harsh in his training methods. He felt Kal Skirata was too soft on the boys for giving them praise when they'd earned it and thinking of them as his sons worthy of an honourable life.

Am I the only one who keeps reading "Kal Skirata" as an anagram of "Karen Traviss", even tho' it isn't? Just me? Well alrighty then. happy

I forgot to ask:
Did Karen write anything about the Delta's different voices?

It ends 389 days after Genosis.. it starts 8 years previous to Genosis with Kal, 10 months after Geonosis with Omega.
