I have a bad feeling that Viqi Shesh is actually Ysanne Isard

As mere weapons of war, SSDs could have been scrapped. But Lusankya was no longer a mere weapon of war. She was also a science research ship, and doubtlessly may have had portions turned over as a med center. While she would probably still have maintained her weapons compliment, and probably her fighter and ship/shuttle compliment, other factors would have changed. She would no longer have been viewed as a mere weapon of war, but as something a bit more.

 

Mike Stackpole was dumbfounded when we told him that in Crimson Empire that "General Antilles" was commanding an all new Rogue Squadron from the bridge of the Lusankya. It's a good thing too, because he changed a couple of plot points to Isard's Revenge to fit this continuity mishap.

 

I agree on Lusankya being more than a simple warship. It's an SSD, and those have a bad image. Making it more than a warship is good PR.

I believe that Viqi Shesh with be making her move in the next few books. Differently by the time that Wedge?s book, Rebel Dawn is released. I can?t wait to read about the confrontation between Fey?lya and Shesh.
