	I was a bit disappointed not to see how exactly Maladi broke Hosk. Maladi: Tell me about Cade. Hosk: No Maladi: Your will is weaker then mine. You'll break. Hosk: Never! Maladi: Tell me about Cade Hosk: Okay. We really didn't see anything of what was done to him. The droids were hovering nearby with bloody instruments, but didn't seem to have done anything recently in the moment where Hosk breaks. There's none of that little blue Duurseman glow to indicate Force Usage. We just see Hosk break, apparently on command. -----signature----- Member: GDG, GMG. Sub-GM: CDG Zam Wessel Lives!

	We've never seen Duursema draw a mind trick, but it seems from her implications and the boldface that she Forced him to speak. -----signature----- DUNE - Chronicles of the Imperium RP http://boards.theforce.net/non_star_wars_role_playing/b10755/29433346/p1/?11 As Father and Son (An AU RP) http://boards.theforce.net/role_playing_forum/b10328/28357048/p1/?10 Emperor Fel's badassery knows no bounds.

	I was talking more about her indication of Force usage in general, blue glow around the hand and the object being manipulated. I may be wrong in attributing it to her, not being able to pore through her work right now. My point is that some visual cue would have been nice, since comix* are a visual medium after all. *that was a typo, but I thought it looked cool, so I changed it back after deciding that the correct way wasn't as cool. -----signature----- Member: GDG, GMG.

	No, I know what you meant. What I'm saying is that indication tends to accompany telekinesis. The boldface "Tell me!" plus her indications that his Force skills were the deciding factor, here, indicate to me that she mindtricked him. -----signature----- DUNE - Chronicles of the Imperium RP http://boards.theforce.net/non_star_wars_role_playing/b10755/29433346/p1/?11 As Father and Son (An AU RP) http://boards.theforce.net/role_playing_forum/b10328/28357048/p1/?10 Emperor Fel's badassery knows no bounds.

	BobaMatt Veed in Legacy #8: "To prevent further loss of life on all sides, I have accepted te surrender of the Fleet Commander of the Galactic Alliance. All ships are to stand down and await further instructions." What's going on here? Was Veed lying to Fel? Did Stazi lie to Veed about surrendering, and then run? Did Stazi find Veed's "further instructions" unacceptable, and retreat? Was Stazi perhaps promoted due the post-surrender death of his immediate superior? Given what Admiral Stazi acchieved (per Captain Bovark), it is most likely that Stazi's forces held off Veed's forces long enough to retreat after the battle was lost. To save face for preventing the remnants of the GA fleet from escaping, Veed makes it look like he offered a surrender. Oh, I am sure a handful of crippled and burning GA ships accepted his surrender- but I bet Veed made that into something to boost his ego. I am curious to see if Admiral Stazi's forces are accompanied by a government-in-exile. We knwo that a ruling triumvirate of GA leaders surrendered to the Empire, but I would not be suprised if some Alliance senators escaped to link up with Stazi's fleet. Hell, even 140 years after Yavin, the remnant of the GA government still remembers how to fight Rebel-style, thanks to their forbearers who fought and died for the Rebellion. --Adm.

	Just a few quick notes to stave off arguments over facts not in evidence. Veed thought all the Skywalkers were killed at Ossus. We know of two -- Kol and Cade. No others have been mentioned or implied. Those may be "all" that Veed knows or refers to. Certainly, Cade had a mother. At the moment, nothing has been revealed about her status. Anything else is speculation. If someone gets upset over their own speculations -- make up a different scenario. At least until we give you info otherwise? Likewise, let's not assume anyone's reactions before we see them? Nothing was written to :answer C19 or anyone else. Honest. FIRST C19 gets to voice his opinion, THEN you get to jump down his throat. The game must have its rules!<g> Stasi had HIS fleet but nowhere do we claim he was in overall command. At some point, we may explore the Battle of Camaas a little more deeply. In the meantime -- yeah, Stasi's a tough guy and pretty cool. Glad you like him, Admiral Nick. Also glad you all seem to like the Roan Fel scene. That was a fun scene to write. Please -- back to your views. I really do want to know what y'all think. -- John -----signature----- writer on SW Legacy among other things Jan Duursema's badassery knows no bounds.

So Stazi was just one of the fleet commanders at Caamas, but not the overall Supreme Commander, right? Great job on Stazi! --Adm.

	Actually, this conversation actually helps cement Emperor Fel as the Diet Coke of Evil as opposed to the possible Dark Jedi I thought him to be. His utter disregard for Marasiah seems to now just be an arrogant dismissal of her importance as opposed to being some scheming and evil plot. And it's not Jan? Darnit, I'll have to complain more before I get my dead Mandalorians in this book! out:

	How does this change things? He yelled at Draco and Ganner for precisely the reasons he didn't want them to go: they endangered their position on Bastion. Also, Stazi is definitely a Duro and not a Neimoidian, right? -----signature----- DUNE - Chronicles of the Imperium RP http://boards.theforce.net/non_star_wars_role_playing/b10755/29433346/p1/?11 As Father and Son (An AU RP) http://boards.theforce.net/role_playing_forum/b10328/28357048/p1/?10 Emperor Fel's badassery knows no bounds.

	Before I get around to typing up my general thoughts on this issue, I did want to say I really loved the conference scene between Stazi and Bovark- first off it's two aliens we either don't see often if at all (Nimbanels- so cute yet freaky) or not in this type of position (assuming Stazi is a Neimoidian). And then it has that great exchange (which is amplified by the positions the characters are facing in that one moment): Stazi: "...Fel has nothing to offer that I don't already have..." Bovark: "Emperor Fel has taken Bastion." Stazi: (beat) "My apologies, Captain Bovark. If this is true, we may have something to discuss after all." Bocark: "It is, my dear Admiral. And we do." The Iks and GA guards sizing each other up outside the conference room was kinda funny too, in a way, since they were p;robably btoh thinking almost the exact same things about the other. -----signature----- "The coldest blood runs through my veins- you know my name."

	One interesting thing i was wondering about is that Admiral Stazi's command may not have been in system when the battle. Because, snice he escaped that means that his command came in later and engaged grand admiral veed fleet but was not pinned aganist the planet allowing his ships to fight a rearguard action to get to a postion that he could jump to hyperspace.

	The way I tell Neimoidians from Duros is the wavey line across their eyeball, Duros' eyes are always solid with no marks. lol make since?!? That's just so it won't be so bad when it gets pushed back to May. You gotta keep hope alive man.

	Well, I'm sure it's already been mentioned, but I was just glad they cleared up the coloring issue, getting Delilah and Fel confused. I first read that and thought "Um...whoa. That's...um..." I mean, aside from the vague incest situation there (if Fel really is a decendant of Jaina - which I don't think has been OFFICIALLY stated, anyway) but it was just like, Cade just met the chick. Just saved her life. And, even though she's got the affections of this Imperial Knight, he just nods and says "Come here, baby. I've got some stress from all this Sith action. Let's go take care of that." Eesh. This ain't your daddy's Star Wars. But then the correction comes and now I feel a little better. That, and Cade doesn't look like a total neanderthal. -----signature----- "The Coming Evil, Book One: The Strange Man" available NOW at http://www.thecomingevil.blogspot.com Author of the Dusty Duck databank entry - The 71st "Greatest Thing About Star Wars...Ever!" - SW Insider 100 Co-author of the Silya Shessaun databank
