Whatever happened to the Lusankya?

I've asked around and no one has heard of it since Adumar.....does anyone know what happend to the Lusankya?

 

It and the Guardian are still serving the New Republic fleet, unless they were destroyed at Coruscant or something.

 

Just in case anyone mentions BFC quotes:

"Just because Mon Mothma issued the order doesn't mean they actually followed through with it. BFC doesn't say they actually dismantled an SSD."-Dan Wallace

 

Probably find out in Rebel Dream and the other book by Allston.

 

I think Wedge commanded it at the Battle of Orinda, just prior to the BFC; I think that's from the Essential Chronology

 

hmmm, i thought that was the battle he was referring to in X-wing 9# which he had just come back from. I could be wrong, i'm used to it

 

I thought Wedge was still commanding it. It wouldn't be like him to let Mon Mothma cannibalize his flagship.

 

It was still around in X-Wing: SoA.

While we are on this subject, did Isard survive and get put on the Lusankya like they said they would do??

The bio-hazzard section was put in but itr was unclear if Isard was put there at the end of Isard's revenge!!(i think, i'll have to cheak to be sure)

 

Yup, Isard's fate is left unclear, but since she 'dies' in the same way Corran 'dies', and given some hints in the lasts lines of the book, it's a fair bet to assume she's alive.

 

And would be freed when the Vong scrap the ship?

Now that would be an unsuspected end for the NJO.

 

I hope they didn't scrap it, becuase one SSD could take a few dozen Vong Corvettes, and after the war is over, I bet that however will be in charge will be building many more super star destroyers, or something like them.

 

All the New Republic needed to do to win this God-foresaken war was to get their act together and head off the Vong assult at Helska before they could do much damage. The NR millitary was realatively strong and could have mobilised a small task force to counter the Vong assult at Helska or Dubrillion, or Destrillion, or Dantooine. The list goes on. They didn't need weapons of mass destruction, they needed a clue.

 

Just a question, is the only way into the GFFA through Vector Prime.

If so, all you need is enough ships to shoot the Vong as they pass through.

It must tax the DB's greatly to breach a new galaxy.

 

It was in Crimson Empire...I'm not sure where that is in terms of time on the storyline though.

 

Pg 327, "I understand they're thinking of keeping you here on the lusankya. You'll be an anonymous prisoner, cared for by droids, forgotten, locked away in the heart of the very prison, you yourself created. For the rest of your natural life."
That prospect stunned Isard and, in a moment introspection, was what undid her. The terror inspired by such a fate prompted her to shoot her left arm forward, letting the holdout blaster slide down to her left hand. It was a rash act, only possible when the horror of life entombed outweighed the horror of death.



pg 332, Corran nodded. "I gues a whole lotta of refitting went on. There's a whole forward area where living creatures aren't allowed to go. It's just serviced by droids."
Iella coughed into her hand. "It's a bio-containment facility. It apparently struck some of designers in rebuilding the prow, they could put in scientific and medical suites that would allow the lusankya to be more than just a military ship. I think there sense of irony to put an area on board that, had it existed when the Krytos virus broke out, would have been useful in thwarting isard's plan. In the heart of area there is supposed to be a containment cell so secure that any breach in it will imediatly vent the whole area into space. Nothing No virus or germ, will be getting out there alive."

"I thought Wedge was still commanding it."

Well being that he just came back from retirement I doubt that. Its possible he'll get command of her in Allston's books. I'd rather see him commanding from a starfighter though.

 

Yeah it was in CE 2.

 

Valiento the great. thats sweet. who wrote that? fergot...

 

'course, you know that the odds of the New Republic actually authorising a not-insignficant refit to a warship specifically for the purpose of implementing cruel and unusual punishment ona single person are pretty bad.

It's highly unlikely that Isard was actually interred in the Lusankya. They didn't even know she was alive until the Lusankya was already nearly completely finished being repaired. To build a special prison cell specifically for her would require that the ship's entry into active service be delayed while yet another section was dismantled and overhauled.

Refits cost a lot of money. In a Navy, time also costs a lot of money. The longer the Lusankya sits in drydock, the longer resources are tied up tending to it, the more money is spent on it, the more smaller ships in need of repairs and maintenance are kept in active service, the more money is spent on them, the more small ships have to be diverted to more distant facilities, the more they wear down, the more they need to be repaired, the more the shipyard has to do, the more money it costs, the more the shipyard is tied up doing extensive repairs and maintenance that wouldn't be necessary except someone had to divert the ship out of its way because a great deal of the original intended yard was devoted to pointless modification to one big ship so a single person can be punished in a grossly illegal fashion.

You're right, it's worth spending conceivably a few trillion credits so Isard can suffer for the rest of her life.

Except the Republic needs its Navy and its money more than it needs to inflict cruel and unusual punishment. The likelihood of actually implementing such a scheme is nil.

 

Veng_Commando: MAS wrote it.

 

it wasn't in CE2...it was only in CE.

 

Thief : They did not add the cell... It was already there from the beginning.

 

Which makes it even less likely that it's for Isard. The fact that it was built there before they even knew she was still alive makes it almost certain that it actually has no connection to her whatsoever.

 

It was built on her design.

She used it to create lethal viruses.

Now she's trapped in it until the end of her days.

That's pure irony.

 

if she isnt in there, why did they even mention it?
