Literature Project - The Clone Wars Dossier

For people who have the new Insider: Are any new events mentioned i.e. ones that haven't been on previous published timelines?

 

Good call, I was trying to think of a reason why that didn't make any sense, but one wasn't springing to mind.

Edit: Ikrit, some "new" events are listed in that they weren't on the Shatterpoint/comic timelines, but have been out for a while, such as the short stories from Insider itself and two of the games from Lucasarts (GBG:CC and NDA).

 

Ok, I'm an idiot. The timeline is structured so that various EU sources are floating off in space with lines connecting them to the months on the timeline. The line for NDA crosses the page, and I misread it as pointing to 12 months (another event is pointing to 12), when in actuality it's at 10. That makes more sense than before at any rate; sorry for any confusion.

 

Ah. Ok Wat wasn't in Republic custody for very long.

 

Someone wanna post the whole timeline?

Nope, typo

Thanks for the save 2Q

 

Oh, and "Sacrifies" should be "Sacrifices" obviously. I can't see any more errors in my transcription now that I've had some sleep.

Anyone summarized the Holonet News stories yet? I'll get it when I get home from work if not.

 

Keep 'em coming, boys (and ladies?) -- I'm busy collating *all* of it as it gets posted (and working on some original stuff of my own), so keep up the good work.

 

I wrote a summary of the Battle of Skor II from the latest HoloNet News. Squibs are hilarious!

 

Holonet News - 14:9:01

Separatists Attack Shelter Base - Dozens Killed; General Kenobi Missing
--
Shelter Base, Jabiim - CIS forces attack the Republic forces on the Outer Rim world of Jabiim in the 2nd week of fighting; the commander of operations in that theater, Obi-Wan, is consequently MIA. Before the CIS counteroffensive, 3 CIS outposts on that world had been captured by the Republic. Also, before the counteroffensive, CIS forces there had primarily been composed of natives using native weaponry/munititions. Jedi casualties: Dalnus Cam, Sana-Jis Ilowa, and Rallcema Bylissura. The CIS commander is Alto Stratus.

Mace Windu Liberates Skor II
--
Windu takes out an occupation CIS force, is honored by the local monarch with a statue for his efforts

Minor Headlines
--
Republic Walkers Storm Kabal
Hapans Refuse Passage

 

Also, the CIS Shadowfeed is dated 14:9:08. Major stories are a semi-biography of the aforementioned Alto Stratus, and an article refuting the Holonet's version of events at a peace conference in the Sluis sector, where CIS forces were blamed for the deaths of the diplomats (the Shadowfeed disputes this and claims that Republic forces killed their own diplomat in a friendly-fire incident).

 

Good to see Clone Campaigns finally on the timeline.

Just downloaded the three Hasbro stories, they look to be good...I've only read "Storm Fleet Warnings", it was pretty enjoyable. It involved Anakin and Obi-wan facing off against a large Seperatist fleet...well now Jude Watson's out of the way, it's time for Stover and Zahn...hehehehe...

EDIT...hehehe...on Google I came across a webpage... www.stover-equipment.com - coincidence or what?

Edit2...Bored...I'll summarise them...

STORM FLEET WARNINGS by Jude Watson
-----------------------------------
Obi-wan and Anakin are returning from a mission via. the Llon Nebulae. As the approach the Kronex spaceport, Anakin spots a large fleet of bulk freighters, and realises that they aren't bulk freighters - it's actually the Storm Fleet, a new Seperatist fleet disguised as cargo freighters. At the spaceport, Obi-wan takes Anakin to see his contact, Fizz, who tells them that the Storm Fleet is headed for the Cyphar system, a neutral system where the Seperatists are hoping to establish a base. It is apparant that the Storm Fleet is going to be used to force the Cyphar government to agree to the Confederacy wishes. Not wishing to directly engage the Storm Fleet, Anakin and Obi-wan lead the destroyers through an asteroid belt, taking out two of the warships and giving the Republic Fleet time to reach Cyphar.

<<I've not read Shatterpoint, so my understanding of this story is not 100%. Therefore I'm not going to summarise it>>

DUEL by Timothy Zahn
--------------------
Republic Commander Brogis finds himself under attack from legions and legions of Battle Droids. He has found the entrance into the Fortress of Axion, and the Confederacy wish to know how, so they can plug up their security gaps. Although Brogis deals with the droids easily, he knows that once the Seperatists bring in their Hailfire droid, he will not survive. However Yoda suddenly arrives to help him, and the Jedi Master faces down the Hailfire, dodging a huge missile attack and forcing a stalemate. Yoda and Brogis head into a nearby cavern complex, where they can make their escape, but they are followed by the Hailfire. Using the Force, Yoda tricks the Hailfire into thinking it faces a squad of clone troopers, then destroys it with a huge rock archway.

 

I've got a question: if somebody has already Legacy of the Jedi, the question goes to him: so, how many pages are there in LotJ? I don't believe in the 176 pages from amazon.com.

 

EQUIPMENT by Matt Stover-

A Clone Trooper relates his experience during the Haruun Kal Crisis. He describes how Clones who take care of equipment for their squad is the highest honor, because from day one they're taught they live and die by their equipment. Our Clone Hero is a gunner in one of the Republic Gunships brought by Mace's capital ship renforcements. Our clone fights through the first part of the battle and like in the book, none of the gunships reach the atmosphere because of swarms of droid starfighters. The crew of this particular gunship is able to fight its way out and hide until more republic forces arrive. The first thing the Republic forces do is rescue the clones, because they too, are equipment. As long as the Republic takes care of them, the Clones will take care of the Republic.

 

Thanks for the summary -- it was a terrific little story, to boot.

 

Thanks, and I'll be sure to use this new title for my own notes.

 

Wait, in the Tim Zhan story, how does Yoda use the Force to trick a droid? Also, where do I download these suckers?
