That never happened and it shall not be mentioned ever again.

Incidentally, before the Wookieepedia edit function was blocked earlier today, I was busy making the first step at improving the ancient and much maligned "ship classification" article, by going through Starships of the Galaxy for info.
Some weeks back I became aware of a slightly brilliant invention by WOTC, their own version of a standard classification system:

This isn't as ideal as the proper warship classifications of the real world, but it's nice that an LFL affiliate recognized the relative abundance of big ships and station IU, and decided to incorporate more than just "cruisers = everything above 400 meters". This is from a book that still did the 8km thing, but it's not too shabby anyways. And they explicitly say that all of a ship's systems are based on how big the ship is/what its role is, thus negating the moronic "lol ISD reactor is teh biggest!!!111".SOTG wrote:21-50m

Leaving aside all question of canon, it sounds like a pretty neat adventure to me. A lot of parallels to ANH/RotJ, a lot of revisting exotic EU planets...I'd love to play it, simply from an RPG gamer perspective.
(Of course, this is just a neat summary: the adventure could still suck.)

This is the guy they want to use to win over "young people?" Are they completely daft? I'd rather vote for a pile of shit than a Jesus freak social regressive.
Here's hoping that his political career goes down in flames and, hopefully, a hilarious gay sex scandal. -Tanasinn
