Someone read the ICS.Page 20-21
The TIEs opened fire, and tiny lances of green light stabbed out of Tatooine's yellow glare. The lines faded to nothingness kilometers shy of the falcon, but distant blossoms of laser energy began to burgeon against the shields almost before Leia could disengage the lead adjustment on her sights.
Paragraph later
Once Leia and Han forced the TIEs into the Falcon's rear quarter, Chewbacca would hide behind them and dive into Tatooine's atmosphere, and the Chimera's big guns would be useless - unless Pellaeon cared to attack a whole planet to stop one vessel
A home made swoop can break the sound barrier.Page 125
"I'll have to be careful about breaking the sound barrier with this baby."
"Yes, do." Ulda handed him a bulky helmet with a full-face mask, built in comlink, and heads-up display linked to the vidmap. "It wobbles just before you punch through"
"Really?" Han forced a smile to cover his astonishment; he had been joking about breaking the sound barrier. "You can't be serious."
Ulda nodded that she was.
Mass nullification tech.Page 156
None of the millions of scientific geniuses who lived in the galaxy had ever found a way to eliminate a human body's need for water. They could make suits that conserved every drop, they could build chem-reactors that synthesized it out of any breathable atmosphere, they had even discovered how to pressurize it to the point that a being could carry a week's supply on his belt in a mass-nulling clip.
Broke the Carnot rule, and provides information about the reactor plants, this was a part for a racing ship, so going by the accelerations observed in the movies and going by the thrust of a photon drive, it gives you an idea of how much power these things can generate.Page 319
"The lens," Han surmised. "I've heard about those. They were used to power the old Renatta photon drives. They say a good Tobal lens could convert heat to light at close to a hundred percent efficiency."
"My data banks indicate that it could be fully one hundred percent," C-3PO reported. "Depending, of course, on the skill of the gemologist who shaped it."
All of it is chock full of stormie armor stopping slugs from Tuskan Raider rifles except for the helmet lenses. Makes me wonder if Denning read the site as part of research.Chapter 24
Exactly how fast would that have to be? And remember how the moisture farms were constructed, and he was worried about the shockwave flattening them.Page 387
Chewbacca had streaked across the Great Mesa at just under burn spees - the velocity at which the ship created a fireball in its wake - doing his best to avoid inhabited buildings where his shock wave would have flattened buildings. By flying so low, C-3PO had informed him repeatedly, he was raising a dust cloud several kilometers high.
More evidence as to the power of blasters.Page 391
When another round of rock shards pattered off her helmet, she began to pour blasterfire into the largest boulder in the gully.
"What do you see?" Han asked.
"Nothing. But I'm not going to just lie here -"
"Right"
Han added his fire to hers, and the boulder shattered.
...
Han selected another likely looking boulder and poured bolts into it. Leia joined him, and the stone split in two.
They were diving towards the stars, so this is their acceleration, not how hard the stars were pulling them. Kinda useless as it doesn't give a time, but even if it "per hour" thats 2409 Gs.Page 401
"They have stopped firing, and we are accelerating into the gravitational pull of a binary star at the rate of eighty-four thousand nine hundred seventy-four kilometers per-"
Good book. Have to like Chewies retort about the Empire's use of aliens.
