Hm... burnt offerings!

 

I have a feeling that ISD and VSD preceding a ship's name, is for the benefit of the reader, so we don't have to spell out what kind of star destroyer it is, rather than being a prefix that is part of the ship's name.

That is not to say that somewhere in the Star Wars universe, someone has not used a prefix with their ship in a local fleet. Definitely not a common thing, but back when worlds maintained their own defense forces, or planets that have the luxury of having nationalist outlook, might have done.

Some place like the Chiss Ascendancy, Ammuud, or ships before they got pulled into the Galactic Republic and Imperial fleets, may have had that.

Can Battle Meld be used on non-force sensitives? Like for example could a Jedi theoretically make a battle meld with a pair of clone troopers or something?

 

If I'm not mistaken, Jorus C'baoth used it to give an edge to many non-Force-using troops (in the Heir to the Empire trilogy, I think?), but it was extremely taxing. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_Meld

I don't think they are able to meld with a non-Force user themselves, though. Just influence them.

 

Alright. Thanks for the distinction.

 

Would Bast Castle being Darth Vader's home base be well known information to the Rebel Alliance by the time of Rogue One?

 

I would say no. It's like a spy agency's black site, so no way lord vader's place is common knowledge.

 

I would agree with Marty.

 

Does anyone have the SW: Episode I Insider's Guide? There's a couple of pictures for which I need a high-resolution screenshot please

 

Which of those different ways to spell/show a persons first name seems best:

Pink Black Fish
Pink black fish
Pink-black-fish
Pinkblackfish

?

 

Ooh, are these earth cetaceans? Blackfish means, among other oceanic dolphin species, the pilot 'whale.' I would say 'pink blackfish' for an earth blackfish with an unusual mutation. If from the GFFA, well, pinkblackfish sounds good.

 

No it is a persons name, should have been more specific.

EDIT: fixed it

 

Ahah! Pink Black Fish, then, like anyone else with three names: Andrew Lloyd Webber, for instance. Also, there is P!nk the singer

 

Sorry again, was not clear. It is just the first name not three different names.

 

Okay. Hyphens, then. Pink-Black-Fish. I'd capitalize all bits of it.

EAD: A Star Wars tradition, hyphens are! Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, Ry-Gaul *reaching waaay back into the Legends EU ... *

 

Even if it's just the first name, I would just capitalize every word and no hyphen.

 

I like PinkBlackFish or Pink-Blackfish, depending on where you want the emphasis. But I think you can really do anything you want. Pink Black Fish is likely always going to need to be explained as three "first" names, but I'd go with whatever you think looks best.

 

I only see hyphenation in last names in the real world.
I mean other than French compound names.
Is Pink Black Fish a compound name?

 

Yes, it would be considered an open compound.

Thanks for the suggestions and comments. I think I will go with hyphenation to bind the name together, making it easier to see what is part of the first name and the last name when I present people.

It is really someone's name and a fully normal one where she comes from, her last name is Mountain-Entrance, she has daughters named Tranquil-Sea and Spring-Blossom-Tree and underlings with names like Palm-Tree, Two-Oars, Coral, Brightwater, etc.
