Suggesting a new "Battles" page for the main site

Are you allowed special characters in the Battles section? D. Wong never used them before as replacements.

My suggestion was for the three hostages. I was trying to think of some characters for them that the Federation would have a reason to try and rescue.

I've just found Darth Wong's view on superluminal tracking in hyperspace; he believes that it is possible to track stuff in hyperspace.

I find this view very contentious, and so I think I'll go to the Pure Star Wars thread and discuss it.

I don't see what's so difficult to believe about the concept of tracking a ship through hyperspace. Ships in hyperspace still interact with gravity, so it should be trivial to detect them using graviton-based sensors.

Why isn't this approach widely utilized? Because gravitons travel at exactly c, while ships in hyperspace travel at superluminal speeds. However, you could set up a sweeping net to detect when a ship in hyperspace passes through it.

Wouldn't this create a "mach cone" effect with gravity waves?

If using forigen troops from an outside force (replacing clone troopers) why not use shapeshifters? Or use them in place of Jedi. Though not a Federation force, they are the only ST force that can compare in flexibility (though a pitiful amount) to the Jedi.

On that note, what would blasters do to shapeshifters?

Gravitons aren't air molecules. In any case, it's impossible to know for sure until we actually find the graviton.
