This was released with the latest Insider web supplement over on HS a few weeks ago. It's remarkably good, even for Abel Pena, whose work is typically high caliber. It details a cohesive history of the Sith, from before the Republic to after the Civil War.
Anyone else read it? If you have hyperspace I encourage it-- there are reams of interesting material in there.

I stand by my refusal to purchase Star Wars products. And I would be highly disappointed if anyone copy pasted it to me in a PM

What are details of that article? I have been meaning to read it and so far I have only heard pieces.

Not wanting to read any of it myself, I promise that if someone emails it to me, I will send it to you completely unread and unopened.

I, too, would gladly support this effort should such a thing happen.

Good God! Is there no-one else on this board who's not a shameless freeloader? A subscription to Hyperspace may sound like a lot of money, but it's really only three cds or five fast food meals. I have a subscription to Hyperspace, and I very much enjoyed that article, which nicely drew together several threads relating to the Sith. If there's someone else here who has actually read it legitimately, I would love to discuss it with them. The rest of you freebooters can bugger off.

I had a subscription. I canceled it when Traviss launched into her death threats and tirades. I'm boycotting until LFL addresses the problem. And when I say problem, I don't mean the 3 million bit. I mean her antics.

After I was banned from the forum under false pretenses by Dark Moose, I simply didn't resubscribe. I think the point, DesertFly, is that its not just a matter of money; it's the principle of the thing. Now, whether that means subverting LFL for content is up to the individual, although it is probably not particularly wise to be so open about it.

Mine was more in gest than anything, considering there is no email adress in the post. DesertFly is just being a bit uptight, or perhaps he does indeed have a bunch of mooches around him.

I good lord, people, I was trying to start a discussion, not a round of begging. I understand not wanting to pay forty bucks for a couple of articles, however good they are, but if you want a copy at least be private about it.
That said, I don't have posession of one myself, since I don't have HS. I read it over a friend's shoulder, so to speak.
Anyway, I gotta run now, but highlights are the early history of the Sith species, some more info on the New Sith Wars, a history of the Mecrosa order, some more stuff on the Prophets of the Dark Side, and a ton of stuff on Lumiya's Bane-ish order.
Pretty much the whole article is a highlight, really. I know I've said it already, but Abel Pena is awesome.
What gets me though is that this is the kind of thing they should be putting in Insider, rather than a bunch of crap everyone already knows.

Do you know that it takes a year for the fanzine to actually arrive? And that's if you're lucky?
Not everyone is living in the states.
