Yes, that was Corran allright.

"I only remember that I stopped reading the X-Wing series because I knew that Corran Horn could take on every single TIE Defender that the Empire could throw at him at once and he's still find some bullshit maneuver that simutaeously destroys them and weakens SW fighter firepower figures."

True. It's probably a force-granted ability.

Not all that correct. Corran Horn in Dark Tide 2 (not sure what the novel name was) freely admited that even with his being a Jedi Knight, both Tycho and Wedge could still vape him quite often. When Wedge and Tycho were at Amudar and fighting Tie-Defenders both Wedge and Tycho went up against a single Tie-Defender and the Defender shot down Tycho and Wedge only managed to damage the Defender forcing it to retreat. Corran *might* be able to take down a single Defender, but anything more then 2 and he dies.

Not likely. When he was using the Force in I, Jedi he flew rings around the whole of Rogue Squadron minus Wedge.

Also, as the bastard is Stackpole's own avatar, he'll survive no matter the odds.

Eleas: Tycho almost iced him and Wedge wasnt there so him saying that was probably correct.

Ryon Dlarit is Pendragon's character in my upcoming d20 SW Darksider Campaign. I guess I'm starting to warm to SW's incarnation of the d20 system. The basics are sound, though of course a lot of work still has to be done...

Erisi Dlarit aka "The Bacta Queen". Former rouge squadron pilot who was one of Isard's agents. Was shot down and (probably) killed by Corran Horn during the attack on Thyferra during the "Bacta war".

Ryon Dlarit would be her fictive younger brother by ten years or so. Though him up as my SW RPG character as Eleas so kindly pointed out.

Fictive? You mean to say he's not a real person like Erisi? For shame...

I can make whatever I want. I'm the Dungeon Master!!! So now, as you're rotting in the belly of a Sarlacc, you better ask yourself where your priorities lie... :)

I just realized that the more apropriate sounding Detention Center Master does not have the quite the same ring to it....

No, but at least it is fairly descriptive...

""Darth Titania is here...""

An old truism you should be familiar with: never give the GM ideas.
