    Imperials: Picture of Jerec confronting a Rebel trooper. Mara Jade. Imperial assassin. Phelar University on Eriadu. Oh, and a Pau'an Inquisitor. ;)
    Amusingly, an ISB foe is hampered by the fact that he believes the propaganda and can't comprehend that the PC Force users can use the Force!
    Adz-class: No pictures, unfortunately - although weirdly enough, they have pictures of a Gladiator-class and the Assault Frigate Mk. II.
    Tython: It is lost in 'legends' (pun intended), but said to be a 'chaotic and violent place', which the routes to are often lost in the flux of the Deep Core. The Je'daii Rangers learned balance because Force storms would rage on the planet if someone went too far to the Light or Dark. The path of the Je'daii from Tython is 'clouded in legend' but tells stories of a Gree-designed hypergate to other worlds, or the (comic) story of the crashed Rakatan ship on the world. The Je'daii abandoned the world, and it is said to have been rediscovered and lost many times.
    Je'daii - Nothing really new here - mostly about the Journeyers, the Force-enhanced alloy swords, and their adherence to balance.

    Ooh, Mara! New art or just a reuse of one of the card game images?

    argh I just need to get my butt to the gaming store and buy Desperate Allies. Maybe leaf through Force and Destiny while I'm there.

    They're also adding the Ghost, which is fantastic.

    Yes! Imperial counterpart to the Medium Transport! I need to start playing again!
    Now for Fringe to get the Action VI/Interceptor IV

    Ooh, a little Sabine token comes in the Ghost. That is awesome!
    Guess next paycheck I will put up my preorder for Wave 7 and then start looking at Wave 8. Now if MM will just deliver my Imperial Raider...

    Grrr... still waiting for the next wave of Armada! [face_frustrated]

    My second Assault Frigate did arrive, so I may have better odds now against the Empire. Taking on two VSD's & a Gladiator-class isn't an easy task. Though I did realize I've been using the fighters wrong (don't blame me, game is hard to learn for novices of table top games like me!), so my B-wings & Y-wings might actually be more deadly than I thought.

    Either way, my growing Rebel Navy needs some Mon Calamarian warships. Bring on the MC80 & MC30c!

    FINALLY got to the store to get Desperate Allies. I paged through and was like YES. I need it in my life.

    They had a discount going with a d20. I rolled and got a 1, as I do. They took pity on me and let me roll again. I got a 2.

    They sighed and just gave me 5% off. I suck at dice rolls. This is why I statted my character for minimum rolls at all times in Saga :p

    Also paged through Force and Destiny. Atlas section is great. Fun page on the Core -- it's overwhelmingly loyal and Core Worlders fear that the uncouth Rimward Rebels seek to steal their wealth. And the Empire is driven by the prestige and grandeur of the Core. So THERE, AdmiralNick22.

    Also it noted only Rimkin nerf-herders think the Core and Colonies are similarly prestigious. It discusses the Colonies trying too hard and trying to get Core approval by being cultured and arch-Imperial. But the Core sees through their fakery.

    Also, Coruscant predates the Rakata by tens of thousands of years. So Coruscant was old when the Republic was young.

    Also Chandrila confirmed as Core Founder.

    Mmm yummy juicy Legends lore.

    wait so the core views the Rebel Alliance as a socialist plot to redistribute their hard earned wealth?

    that's awesome

    Hard inherited wealth, thank you. What do you think we are, farmers?




    Like those "business" types on the Colonies. Gross.

    I was trying to be POV about it, but I guess I have a hard time getting into the head of the 1% coreworlders.

    Jello might be a little biased. :p

    The description in the Core Worlds is that "The social elite of the Core have a deep, underlying fear that the filthy Rim-folk of the Rebellion are coming for their homes and riches, and they rely on the Empire to safeguard their privileged status."

    Yes but it also has the line about overwhelming loyalty and the Core being the basis of Imperial rule :p

    So was I, and they'd resent the implication they had to do anything so pedestrian as work :p

    Don't celebrate too quickly. Afterall, the NEU may change that. :p

    Joking aside, we all know that the Core's true allegiance, with some exceptions, it simply to itself. Don't matter if a Republic, Empire, or New Republic controls it, so long as they stay at the top. ;)

    Well DUH. :)

    I wouldn't have it any other way. That's why I'm holding up on declaring allegiance in the NEU. But at least we've settled Legends.

    OK, if the Imperial Assault figures are comparable in size to 40K ones, I may have to acquire the Verena Talos from the new Return to Hoth box to convert into either an Inquisitor or an Astra Militarum/ Imperial Guard Officer.

    I admit I love the Gonzati. Have since they first showed it, so I'm happy to be getting a model of it.

    Am wishing I hadn't sprung for a 3rd core set though to round out my Tie Swarm now. Ah well.



    I'm not a huge fan of the Ghost's design, so I'm not as thrilled about that one. But it was inevitable we'd see it eventually.



    Still want my Assault Gunboat, Missile Boat, Tie Hunter, and T-wing. Come on FFG you're our only hope! (of getting models of those Legend's ships!)
