    One segment of the EU that I feel has been overlooked here on the Lit Boards are the stories and characters created for Wizards of the Coasts' RPGA saga set in the Cularin system. Living Force possesses some very interesting elements (a "satellite" Jedi Academy, a Sith heritage, a local Force-using group, smugglers, politicians, etc.) and even more interesting characters.

    Take for example Jedi Master Darrus Jeht: Friend to Aayla Secura. Pawn of Palpatine. Survivor of Order 66?

    Check it out! (There's almost 4 years' worth of short stories!)

    Good catch. I've read some of that off and on over the last six months; some if it isn't half bad.

    Potentially interesting, ED. Thanks.

    I'm a little confused over the later stories given the events of "Dark Hope."

    I was certain that Palpatine would both spare Jeht and that Jeht would become an Inquisitor (given his proclivities towards power and "any means necessary") but apparently his ARCs tried to kill him all the same.

    Palpatine believes in survival of the fittest.

    If Jeht had survived, he'd be worthy.

    Well... he did. And he did kill an "unarmed" (heh heh) opponent. So that's something...

    [sarcasm]OK, I won't[/sarcasm] :p

    I've enjoyed these stories over the course of time. Personally, I'm interested to learn more about whatever "spook" it was that thrashed the martial arts school...

    I've been trying to keep up with these for some time now. What we really need is a list of the stories and senarios in chronological order with individual links, so we can keep track of them.

    Cularin was mentioned in Triple Zero, BTW.

    I think the whole thing with Darrus Jeht and the millions of people he blew up to stop a Separatist superweapon should be mentioned more often in-universe. It seems like a fairly major Republic atrocity.

    Whoa, just read some of these... There is a lot of stuff in here. Could have been a little better if they have a collated story somewhere with more pictures. it would make it a little more interesting... I rue the day that wiki has to cover all the stuff here.
