Why Nov 1, it comes out Oct 15?
Pelleon had 50 years of service as of HTTE, having lied about his age to enter the Navy at the start of the Clone Wars. however with the shift in CW start time, this is now in question. Personally, I have a feeling the official explanation/rationalization will be that all teh little wars like the Stark Hyperspace war, battle of Naboo etc were fought against the TF and cronies in one manner or another, they will all get put under the title "Clone Wars", hence the plurality.
Anywho, he was in his 60s in HTTE, he'd be 80=90 now. Considering that People on backwater Bakura lived to 160 with Mediacl technology being what it is, I'd say Pelleon has a good long life ahead of him (unless he dies in combat)

Well it's about bloody time that the Empire got off of its Star Destroyer seated butts and did something. I wonder what the Chiss are waiting for.

The Chiss are probably waiting for the Vong to attack so they can fight without violating their honor code. You know the one where pre-emptive strikes are seen as murder.

Ooh, Imperial Remnant! I'll pick this one up when it comes out, it might be worth reading.

Sounds cool.
Read Ylesia, the NJO e-book, to hear just how impossible it is for our heroes to fight the Yuuzhan Vong and serve the New Republic simultaneously.
Also, judging from the vibe he gave forth in Dark Tide II, I would guess that Pellaeon has no intention of attacking the New Republic, or the govenment that will take its place. If the Remnant does attack the Republic, my guess is it will only be if Pellaeon is removed from power.

When does the NJO e-book take place? And does anything important happen that I should know about?

Spoilers. Don't scroll down, if you don't want to see them.
OK, it clearly takes place after the beginning to Destiny's Way, given the fact that Jacen Solo is back and it appears he's been back for a little while. There are a few important events; the Rebels (I guess that's what you have to call them now) capture much of the Peace Brigade government on Ylesia, including Thrackan Sal-Solo, who has been forced into being the head of state of it by the Vong (it's complicated, read it if you want the details). Pwoe, the new head of state of the Republic, is captured along with the Peace Brigade government; he is attempting to negotiate peace with the Brigade, selling out the Republic once again. The Rebels do reasonable damage to the Vong fleet stationed at Ylesia and manage to escape before a large Vong fleet arrives. A victory for the Republic, overall. Of greater interest is the excerpt from Destiny's Way, in which Luke speaks with Fyor Rodan. Rodan reveals just how much contempt he has for the Jedi, insulting Luke repeatedly, even criticizing him for taking time off from the military to form the Jedi Order.
