    All three actually do not seem to fit, if she wore such an elaborate disguise I am pretty sure the novel would have mentioned it. ;)


    The Written Word hints at it when it mentioned their writing.

    I think that it should only be mentioned if anybody saw thru her disguise, and since even Karrde, a man with good eyes, thought she was just arm-candy until the attack I se no reason why it should have been mentioned.

    Is there any were I can read this Written Word article [face_praying]

    You can even talk to the author!

    Paging jSarek!

    (hmmmm... can't seem to get to the actual original article anymore....[face_frustrated] It used to be on the OS, and the Archive.org links don't reach it as far as I can tell....)

    Alas, it was one of the many source articles in Hyperspace that are currently in limbo. Hopefully, it will see the light of day again soon, along with such brilliant works as "Tinker, Tailor Soldier, Praji," "Death in the Slave Pits of Lorrd," and "The Despotica."

    But I can confirm I discussed Sith influence on the Myke language, and mentioned that at least one of the designers who worked on the Aleph-class starfighter was a Myke.

    Can you tell/do you know anything more about the myke? [face_praying] I was planning to use them in an RPG campaign, among other things, and want to know so much as possible

    Alas, I think the tiny bit I included in the article were the only words written about the Myke species since the name was first applied to Norym Kim. I chose them for my article based on the fan theory that their facial features are the result of Sith origins, but other than that, they're pretty much a blank slate.

    Oh, and the Myke version of the letter "aleph" resembles the one in the Syriac alphabet; the twin tails of that letter are what gave the twin-tailed Aleph-class starfighter its name. If you were looking to make RPG handouts or something, you could do worse than use the Syriac alphabet for their writing.

    Hey look it's a Super Star Destroyer so big that its command tower dwarfs a Strike Cruiser. So much for WEG being minimalist, eh?

    WEG: better at diversity in 1994 than DR was in 2009.

    Oddly enough, sometimes it feels like it is always that way: the cast of the old Conan films have more diversity than half the films this year put together.

    Given he looks like Clint Eastwood, I'm going to assume the rest of the 2 local hour movie is him slaughtering toughs then doing a speech to a non-existent Mon Mothma.

    I think High Inquisitor Tremayne was the Master Villain for Countless Campaigns. He was the most memorable of all of West End Games villains, who tended to be "Generic Evil Imperial 37#."

    Ackbar obviously lost some weight in the stress of the previous battle.

    Madine looks completely wasted. I'm now imagining scenarios as to why he shows up to Mon Mothma like that.

    Was it Riekkan's bachelor party?
