    Last time we saw ships aligned like that was the TF blockade of Naboo.

    Interesting to see the Bothans depicted with the flat face variant.

    Well usually one would hope for something like this
    [​IMG]
    ,and yep Dragon and Hobbit count as part of the treasure :p because to quote a certain someone
    "Amendment sixteen hundred ninety five dash three zero of the Khoonda civil code allows us to sell you into slavery."

    Still a couple of weeks away from getting a copy, does it give any government types for individual planets or did it just give general info?

    It has a pretty interesting section on Government in the GFFA in general as well as details on the Empire, Alliance, Hutts, Black Sun and some on the CorpSec (though nothing really new as far as I spotted but it is a nice summary of material from other sources), the planet profiles it has only go with usual one line on government types. Though one pretty fun line is that just about every government type imaginable has actually been tried by humanity and that humans in the GFFA may life under just about anything from Feudalism to Theocracy, Democracy or Autocracy, or anything in between.

    Out of curiosity, what sort of government did they list for Dac?

    Didn’t list any, as Mon Cal didn’t get a full planet profile, only a short blurb as one of the important Worlds of the Outer Rim. Only Bespin, Corellia, Fondor, Kessel, Nal Hutta, Ord Mantell, Ryloth and Tatooine get full one page Profiles.

    The Calamarian Council begs to differ. [face_talk_hand]:p

    Dac is a parliamentary democracy that happens to have a ceremonial king. :-B

    That must be why Ackbar fought so hard to defend him -- because Ackbar cares so much about ceremony over substance, am I right? :p

    Indeed, that must also be why Ackbar deferred to his command decisions. :p

    If you are using TCW as your highest canon, there isn't much to gain and there is ALOT to lose. ;)

    I stand by 20 years of EU background on Dac & Ackbar, not a cartoon that decided every planet in the galaxy is a monarchy or corrupt aristocracy. [face_peace]

    Yes, but it's worth it if it makes you squirm. :D


    Do fish squirm? Maybe wriggle? Flop? Flounder? :p

    'sides, I think it's fun if the Imperial invasion of Mon Cal -- now that the PT has retconned that -- was at the prompting of the legitimate monarchical government of Mon Cola, which was being overthrown by the Mon Cal Council. TCW's there, we might as well have fun with it and use it to accomplish something meaningful.

    I mean really the best part about TCW is it makes the Old Republic look so ineffectual, and the Empire look all the better as a result.

    Mon Cola? Dac had it's own brand of Coke? [face_hypnotized]

    It's my little derisive term for TCW's weird use of "Mon Cala" for the planet.

    A cold glass of Mon Cola washes down a plate of deep fried Calamari quite nicely! [face_devil]

    One day we have to meet in real life, you eating a plate of calamari and I with a bowl of Jell-O and both of us looking at the camera with a shrug.
