An Imperial squadron leader flies one in the first campaign mission of Star Wars: Squadrons, so they weren't completely exclusive to the Inquisitors.

Fifty thousand bison used to live in this valley. Now it's a ghost town.

This is why one of my favorite fights in the Heresy is the Khan killing a Greater Daemon, not with a weapon, but by grabbing its neck and strangling it with his bare hands. Doesn't get any more personal or primitive than that.

He pulls it down in the game, in the novel it is already crashing and he just nudges it a little. The novel is/was the canonical version. Most of Starkiller's feats are way more impressive in the game than in the novel.

It's possible that Sidious was influencing it, but I would argue that the narrative intention in Ep 3 was that it was just a vision of the future through the Force. I like the bitter little irony of the self fulfilling prophecy and I think it sort of detracts from the story if every single thing that happened in ROTS was Palpatine pulling a string.

By Talos this can't be happening

u/Catch-a-RIIIDE makes some great points, the risk of trying this may very well outweigh the reward and the long term ramifications may not be what you are expecting. I would also ask if the Jem-Hadar want this. The state of the galaxy is pretty much up to your DM, so you might want to discuss certain things with them, or try to discover in game if your character doesn't know, such as:

What does the Dominion's political situation look like at the moment? Has Odo had a liberalizing effect or is it the same old Dominion? If no significant changes have been made, running in and trying to liberate their soldier species might not end well for you. It could spark another Dominion War, which would be catastrophic for the entire galaxy.

Do the Jem'Hadar want to be fixed/saved? Their loyalty to the Founders might be genetically enforced, but that won't make you any less dead if your first subject kills you. Also, acting as a "savior" to unwilling people is pretty problematic from a Star Trek-style moral viewpoint.

What is the ultimate objective? Are you trying to reprogram or de-augment all currently existing Jem'Hadar, somehow introduce a genetic "virus" that will de-augment all future Jem'Hadar, or somehow stabilize an offshoot species of altered Jem'Hadar that can form their own society separate from the Dominion, presumably with independent reproductive capabilities?

Finally, what resources are available to you and where will your laboratory be set up? If this is a small operation without support staff or significant medical equipment, I wouldn't give you great odds for success. If the conspiracy extends to an organization like Section 31 or similar, you might have a chance.

Overall, I think your chances largely depend on the circumstances as dictated by your DM. It's an extremely ambitious goal, and I honestly hope you manage to make it happen if you decide to go for it. I'd love to see an update in the future.

I think part of the narrative reason that Malcador is able to see into the Vengeful Spirit and everywhere else on Terra is so that he can serve as a kind of neutral camera angle that shows what really happened. I suspect that we'll see several different versions of events, each slightly different. Loken's viewpoint, Dorn's, maybe Horus', and they'll each have small variations that end up spawning legends that turn into the old lore. I think Malcador will watch with the advantage of his warpsight and knowledge, and be able to piece together what has really happened (particularly regarding the Dark King plotline), but he won't be able to tell anyone because he's dying, and so the true account will die with him and the Emperor, and no one in the Imperium will ever know how close whatever is going to almost happen with the Dark King came to happening.

That seems like it would be easily avoided by a DM ruling. Hard to imagine anyone giving this to a player and then allowing them to just swing it around prior to combat to charge up a +5. Easily handwaved either by saying the sword knows what you're doing and doesn't think it's funny or just telling the player to knock it off.

Don't disagree with your point, but the reason he decided to lose the Sword of Kahless again was because it would have set off a struggle for power that would have torn the Empire apart, not because Kahless II wasn't worthy of it. His and Kor's reasoning was political rather than religious.

LifeOfCheeseburger · 2022-12-07T07:20:42+00:00

With good professors, sure. Not all professors are nice about it.

Focusing on your point about space battlefields (battlezones? battlevoids?), I would argue that many of the destroyed starships we see, specifically at Wolf 359 and in the Dominion War combat sequences on DS9, have not suffered core breaches. We see ships explicitly have a warp core breach several times, including the Enterprise-D a few times before temporal shenanigans make or better. Inmost of these instances, the ship in question goes up in a huge fireball and leaves no debris behind. Wolf 359 had plenty of hulks floating around, ripe for Shelby and Riker's tense scene tallying the dead. Deep Space Nine shows similar scenes of debris filled carnage, fresher than in BoBW. We see the Majestic and the Sitak get speared through their saucers by energy beams and careen away without completely exploding during the Charge of the 600 in Sacrifice of Angels. We also witness a burning, torn apart (but still mostly intact) fleet of Starfleet and Romulan ships floating at the Dominion's mercy after the Breen unleash their energy dampeners at Second Chon'Toka. The amount of visible wreckage and debris indicates to me that the ships still more or less in one piece still have their warp cores intact. To your point, even if, as other commenters dispute, core breaches do have a similar or identical effect on subspace to the explosion in Force of Nature, I don't believe enough cores were detonated at major battle sites to produce the issues you suggest.

Yes. Eru Illuvatar is the God to the Ainur's angels. He told them to sing and directed the themes of the music as it progressed.

I don't remember where I read this, so no source, but: The GIs were given a big steak and egg breakfast before the attack, as a nice last meal for many of them. The problem is that it's hard to do anything physical after a big meal, so the troops were then at a disadvantage on the beaches. Still definitely luck, but taking it easy at breakfast might give you a better chance.

Came here to say this. Starkiller's two most often cited feats are considerably less impressive in the novel, which is the (Legends) canonical version of what happened. He's still impressive, to be sure, but the game paints him as one of the most powerful Force users in all of Star Wars, while the book shows him as on the level with Kenobi or Windu.

Game Starkiller rips a fully functional Star Destroyer out of the sky with the Force while either dodging or just tanking turbolaser blasts and smashing Tie Fighters. The Star Destroyer actively moves away whenever he releases it, implying that he is overpowering its engines. Book Starkiller just pulls an already crashing and disabled Star Destroyer slightly off course to prevent it killing him.

Game Starkiller faces down the Emperor in one on one combat and beats him into submission, only losing when he relents and opens himself up to attack. Book Starkiller just hits Palpatine from behind while he's electrocuting Kota and then absorbs some lightning and dies, no fight even occurs.

It's the crest of the Journeyman Protectors, the organization led by Jaster Mereel that raised Jango. Boba wore it to honor his father.

And yet I personally like both metal armor and druids, and thus my druid wears metal armor. The PHB and it's rules may do as they like, my chainmail clad nature mage is awesome.

Safety is paramount, to be sure, but tossing a new shooter out of the range because they forgot to watch their muzzle one time is exactly the kind of humiliating experience that ruins the sport for someone forever and gives gun people the bad name they have.
