The Battle of Jabiim

I haven't read very much Clone Wars stuff so far; only Shatterpoint and Cestus. However, I think this is a legitimate question?though it may have already been discussed.

In The Cestus Deception, on page 57, Mace reminisces about "Antar Four, and even the Battle of Jabiim," Now, I don't know what that battle involved, but in the Clone Wars timeline in the inside cover of that book, it says that the Battle of Jabiim takes place in Clone Wars III, three months after Cestus. Of course, some planets have had multiple battles before, so that could work out.

I'm wondering if this is a misprint in the timeline, or did another battle take place at Jabiim in the Clone Wars before The Cestus Deception?

 

Nope, not a misprint, Jabiim does take place then, and there is only the one battle (well, none before the one in the comics) it's just a continuity mess up

 

It's possible we'll see it fixed in the softcover, who knows.

 

Such alterations don't happen in the publishing business.

 

It was a mistake. Steven Barnes said that he was given some bad information from LFL. Not a huge problem.

 

No, not often they don't. However, the error regarding the Hyperspace War in Medstar I IS being fixed for the second printing. So it is not unprecedented.

 

Amazing that they would do that. It's nearly unprecedented.

Apparently, a certain Republic-class issue showed Koth and Poof (both dead) in a Jedi Councillor panel, and it didn't get fixed for the TPB, I've heard.

Could they recitfy the NJO too? [-o|

 

Technically, the SHW comic shows it was more a Star Hyperspace Conflict than a war. Indeed, Cloak of Deception says conflict as often as war.

NEGTC, the AOTC Jedi Councillor entry, actually says during the 5th Battle of Qotile. THAT never happened in the SHW comic. What five battles, what Qotile?

 

The "Qotile":

...Apparently something Yet-To-Be-Addressed in the official continuity.

See entry under: "Tank."

(Or the the supposed, mythical, realistic-as-unicorns Echani "superiority.")


...Wait a minute -- was that the "Great Hyperspace War" Medstar gaffe you're referring to, 2nd?

 

Are the Clone Wars novels even publishing a timeline that date back thousands of years? I thought everything there was fairly recent, happening within the last hundred or two years, which would certainly be the time period within which the Stark Hyperspace War occurs. The Great Hyperspace War was five thousand years before the Battle of Yavin.

 

It was merely a slight referential phuque-up by Perry/Reaves in the first half of the first Medstar book -- a relevant nod back to the Stark Hyperspace War, which got FUBARed into a "Great Hyperspace War"-class (see? now *I'm* doing it) notation.

The LFL Clone Wars timeline in the books only covers the most recent works, so nothing to fret over there.

 

Apparently, a certain Republic-class issue showed Koth and Poof (both dead) in a Jedi Councillor panel, and it didn't get fixed for the TPB, I've heard.

Which issue was this?

What five battles, what Qotile?

It must have happened in an alternate dimension.

 

Don't know, Rogue. I haven't received CW5 yet. Probably one of the Rep 60s issues.

The Fifth Battle of Qotile was only mentioned in NEGTC; AOTC Jedi Councillor entry. It contradicts the limited events seen in Stark Hyper.

 

Clone Wars 5 in hand. The Council members slipped through the cracks.

Just don't let LFL know. They will try to make Agen Kolar and some new Quermian Jedi Council members instead of admitting to messing up. I'm half surprised Yaddle wasn't there as well.

As for the 5th battle of Qotile. The only battle I ever saw was on Troiken. Maybe the mine, the mountain or the continent was called Qotile?

 

Methinks it was a skirmish between Stark's pirates and forces fighting for the Republic somewhere else then Troiken.

 

But Plo Koon was supposed to be there. And he was on Troiken during the entire conflict.

 

There could be another Battle of Jabiim at 8 months ABG.

 

Or possibly 4 months ABG:

Of course the presence of operative gunships does make it unlikely.

 

I've never seen that before? Or is it from the intro in the first chapter?

 

Yeah, it's from the battle montage in Chapter One.

 

But Plo Koon was supposed to be there. And he was on Troiken during the entire conflict.

Mop up operations following the events of the comic then? Perhaps not all of Stark's forces were at Troiken.

Really it's just a case of various authors not bothering to read the comic and assuming the Stark Hyperspace War was some huge galaxy-spanning conflict rather then a quick skirmish in a remote system.

 

Not necessarily -- Jim Luceno greatly expanded the overall scope of it in Cloak of Deception, released a good half-year *before* Ostrander's arc ever hit the newsstands. Obviously there's far more to what went on in the war than simply the Troiken contretemps...something for future works to pick up the slack on.
