	It may just be artistic interpetation. The color of Admiral Gar Stazi's skin and eyes are unmistakably Duros. The shape of his head, however is a bit more narrow and your average Duros. It is much closer to the Neimoidian's, as others have alluded to. It will be interesting to see if future appearances of Stazi make him look more Duro or not. Hell, artists do draw differently. Just look at how wrinkly and craggy the faces of Draco and Ganner are in #9 compared to #7. --Adm.

Encouraging "on-the-job-relationships" seems like a fairly effective way of helping to ensure that your followers are kept in conflict with each other instead of formulating plans to bump you off when you're not looking, for one thing. -----signature----- Fey'la was right!

	000 posted: There's also a gweedo goldfish. It's a pretty trippy comic. Its a good trippy, though, IMO. Lucas Marangon's art suits it very well, and I like the humor almost as much as Tag & Bink's. And where else can you have a character named Chief Bouyardy?

Perhaps, but on the other hand, he could end up with a military commander and a high-ranking intelligence officer falling in love and plotting his downfall. Finding other ways to pit his servants against them seems like a more sure bet, like appointing a second Hand... -----signature----- Member: GDG, GMG. Sub-GM: CDG Zam Wessel Lives!

That would be the point. The relationship between Veed and Calixta is, I think, more of a hindrance to them than to Krayt. -----signature----- Fey'la was right! Bring Asyr Sei'lar to justice!

This way, they run the risk of sabotaging their own efforts. SephyCloneNo15 posted: On-the-job relationships as a means to prevent other Sith from gunning for your throne is an iffy policy at best.

	Finally got the issue today. The art quality's not bad, its just very... different. Probably just from reading too many issues of Ms. Duursema's work. For the new characters, like Stazi, Bovark, Torlin and Morrigan, its not so bad as its their first appearances, its just jarring to see the old characters drawn like this, with so many wrinkles. Nice to finally see the GA (or what's left of its Defense Force) in this issue. Funny to hear an Imperial Captain call Stazi a legend. Even if it this is diplomacy, so flattery is a big part of it, callingg someone a legend is still high praise, and holding together a fleet without a government probably isn't an easy task so its probably earned. Hope he doesn't die next issue I'm still not sure if Fel and the GA are going to form an alliance this early on (especially with several Sith/Imperial agents on board) and with both sets of guards twitchy, but at least they've finally had contact. After the last issue, at least now we can see Veed and Calixte "openly" (to us readers anyway) plotting. And Krayt's not telling anybody why he wants Skywalker of course. Though poor Hosk. I do wonder though if this is the fate worse than death that he begged Cade not to send him to, as it looks like its mostly just a regular brutal Imperial/Sith interrogation, or if its just going to get worse for him later. And what's the deal with Morrigan? Calixte says she's been inactive for 20 years, so either she ages really, really well for a human, assuming she's human (even better than Mara), she's just a near-human species, that's not her but her daughter, or maybe she's a Clawdite like Zam was? Either that or she was an agent before she was in her teens (which isn't entirely impossible), but from Calixte's comment about her being a "good field agent in her day" makes it sounds like she was working for quite a long while before she became inactive. Heh, Fel berates Draco and Ganner, then gives them medals. Though everything he says does make good political sense, so he's very pragmatic at least. I do wonder what Draco's chances of marrying Sia were before their little rescue attempt. And ouch, Fel just has to rub it in that it was Cade Skywalker who brought Sia back from the brink of death. As if Draco didn't already dislike Cade for being within 10 meters of his princess. Too bad nobody knows yet that Moff Rus is a backstabbing traitor (to Fel), and with how naive Astraal seems, she's probably going to be leaking tons of secrets to her missionary boss before they ever find out. And Imperials are still planting tracking devices, though at least Cade is smart enough to disable them all. Wonder if its due to all his years as a pirate/bounty hunter, or whether he and/or Wolf or Shado found them with the Force (or they're all just really well trained). Wolf and Shado were wearing different clothes when they were on the Wheel, right? Its hard to tell in a hologram, but its nice to see they're smart enough not to go everywhere wearing Jedi robes. I do wonder whether Wolf and Shado seperated from Cade at the Wheel or they left with him. Probably won't find out till the Ossus arc, but knowing Cade, he'll show up sooner or later. -----signature----- Don't mind me, I'm nobody important.

	But there are far better policies. Ones that, even if they fail, are significantly less likely to unite multiple underlings against you. Case in point: Talon and Nihil. And, even if we haven't seen much of it, Nyna and Morlish are far more dangerous to Krayt together than they would be apart. Nyna doesn't want the throne because it's "too open". She'd never try to claim it on her own. Veed wants the throne, but he's rather rash and needs Nyna to sober him (of course, in a way that has nothing to do with alcohol) and convince him to be patient. Alone, he'd charge to his death and accomplish nothing. Together, they have hope to actually achieve this goal, and thus they have the drive to do it right. -----signature----- Member: GDG, GMG.

Obviously, one can only encourage such an initiative where an attraction exists, but that would not void its usefulness where applicable. SephyCloneNo15 posted: And, even if we haven't seen much of it, Nyna and Morlish are far more dangerous to Krayt together than they would be apart. And if not for their united connivance and shared goals, it's arguably unlikely that Krayt would have ascended to the position that he currently holds. SephyCloneNo15 posted: Nyna doesn't want the throne because it's "too open". She'd never try to claim it on her own.

Alone, he'd charge to his death and accomplish nothing. Together, they have hope to actually achieve this goal, and thus they have the drive to do it right. Unlikely. Calixta is a clever, resourceful sort, but while Veed maybe useful in his own way, he is simply too volatile a personality, and for Calixta to emotionally tie herself to him as she seems to have done will likely have the practical effect of fatally compromising her efforts, eventually. -----signature----- Fey'la was right!
