Legacy #22: The Wrath of the Dragon - Darth Krayt is NOT PLEASED!

Couldn't Cade or Nihil kill Krayt, and take his name? It would certainly be a new Sith practice.

 

Sweet Christ, John Ostrander is trying to kill me!

I get the Galactic Alliance is Legacy #20, 21, and 22?

Yes, that is the Sean Cooke painting. And it is quite lovely.

Does starfighters belonging to the former GA necessarily mean that they are now used by the GA remnant? They could be used by the Empire just like NR used TIEs, or they could belong to some local planetary militia.

 

Surely you mean "non-Imperial".

 

Random thought:

Maybe Talon betrays Krayt? And as a result, Ryloth and the Twi'lek race suffer?

 

In the uncropped image the GA ships are orbiting a very blue world with a red/brown moon. Now if that image in any way reflects the events of the issue - could Krayt be exacting revenge on Mon Cal for some reason?

 

Calamari fritti mmm delicious

 

The . . . cockpits are staring. Does that count as a staring cover?

 

My guess: Krayt's going after the Chiss.

 

In case anyone missed it, the linked image is a placeholder that almost certainly has nothing to do with the issue in question.

Ahem.

Anyway: hopefully Krayt nails the Mandies. Although the Chiss will work, in a pinch.

 

Damned placeholder!

Interestingly enough, it could be the Chiss. Afterall, Chiss Moff didn't seem that loyal. Maybe he betrays Krayt? Who then unleashed his fury on the icebound world of Csilla?

--Adm. Nick

 

Silly Stormie. Haven't you learned? We'll just slip away and then come back to bite you in the shebs when you least expect it.

 

"In light of recent events" suggests very strongly that Krayt is responding to Admiral Gar Stazi's victory in the previous arc. He's striking at the GA remnant.

 

Mon Calamari, perhaps? Then maybe we'll finally get our Mon Cal admiral.

 

He's going to burn Duro...again.

 

While I hope it is not Mon Calamari (That world has been ravaged on numerous occasions), I have a bad feeling that the target of Krayt's offensive is Bastion. There has been alot of build up to Bastion being a literal bastion of power, so perhaps Krayt finally gets fed up with Fel's base of operations.

And, if he has a superweapon under contruction, it would allow him to destroy Bastion without risking the loss of the Sith-allied Imperial Starfleet.

Fel, Marasiah, and the Imperial Knights are all on Bastion. A tempting target for Krayt...

--Adm. Nick

EDIT:- I forgot it said race. That probably rules out Bastion.

 

The question is whether Krayt can afford an all-out assault. As its been mentioned, while Krayt is ruler of the galaxy, his hold is far from absolute. Taking Bastion would cost far too much, and maybe the Chiss, but I doubt the Chiss would've let their military slack at all in the years since, so it might cost a lot to attack the Sith too.

Maybe Mon Calamari, as that's world has usually be loyal to the good guys, but I'd hope its defenses would also be quite formidable. Unless Stazi's sucessful attack (which I hope is sucessful, as it sounds like Krayt is in a very bad mood in this issue) makes him mad enough to just not care and he'll just attack anyway. And Imperials probably won't have any problems attacking Mon Calamari, unlike Bastion.

Hm, there are plenty of species in the galaxy of course, but most of the major characters are humans. I seriously doubt Talon has enough independent thought to betray Krayt, and not sure what Maladi is. Nihl, maybe, but isn't his race extra-galactic/Unknown Regions?

Oh well, I'm mainly more interested in whether the GA will show up or not as their arc had just finished.

 

Hmmm. Most of the species that we've seen so far in Legacy are widespread throughout the Galaxy, so if Krayt wipes out their planet, it's not really going to matter. The Duros especially so. Maybe he has a shot at the Chiss... which would be risky. But possible.

She's a Devaronian. Which, like Duros, would be a stupid planet to attack.

Krayt: "...And now my revenge on that fool Villie is complete!"
Wyyrlok: "...?"

 

In light of recent events, Darth Krayt deems it time to teach a lesson in obedience-to the entire galaxy!

Emperor Krayt is displeased, and the price of betrayal will be exacted from an entire race, their suffering rippling to the edges of the Outer Rim. Yet his wrath will not stop there, as even among his own ranks failure will be dealt with cruelly and with lasting results. Old allegiances will be tested, and new bonds will be formed through pain and anger.

This is what happens when the Sith rule the galaxy!
The unfettered fury of the Sith!


I'm guessing he must be going after Mon Cal or Duros, but how would that be betrayal? Aren't they already at war?

Maybe the Chiss, but with their military legacy I doubt the entire Sith Empire could fight them to a draw, let alone wipe them out.

The Mandalorians aren't really a race so I doubt it's them. And that would be the 70th time they've been wiped out.

Bastion maybe, but then again that's not betrayal, unless Fel tricks Krayt.

Maybe Nihl betrays him and he goes off to wipe out the Nagai? Doubtful but a possibility.

 

Interesting that I also missed the bit about the "price of betrayal".

As others have pointed out, Krayt's Sith techincally are already at war or have conquered the worlds of the GA. So if we are looking for a betrayal, it would have to come in the form of a species already allied with the Empire.

Which makes the Chiss very likely targets.

However, perhaps Krayt will do something more in line with his own suffering.

If Krayt finds Zonoma Sekot, who wants to bet that he would do everything in his power to devastate the world. Afterall, he hates the Yuuzhan Vong. What better way to get his revenge than to shatter their peaceful, roving homeworld.

I could see the Chiss being the target. It could also be the Ryloth Twi'leks though I don't think it's very likely that Talon will betray Krayt.

 

Krayt may very well be over reaching if he loses to Stazi, but if Stazi doesn't win and only escpaes with the GA fleet Krayt could be in a good posistion to launch an offensive.

I could see the Chiss being the target. It could also be the Ryloth Twi'leks though I don't think it's very likely that Talon will betray Krayt.

If the Chiss still have their military they would totally own Krayts. They were killing YV and who knows what when Krayt was still in diapers. They are to military genious what Mandalorians are to warriors. Besides I'm sure they have many, many, back up planets no one knows about to retreat to. And who knows they may have a Thrawn or two frozen in the basement.
