swphreak Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 (I'm nicking this off a TF.N thread) Here's an interesting topic I "stumbled upon," What do you think would be the 20 or so wonders of the galaxy so fr, far away? Here's some of mine: The Maw Cluster - a cluster of Black Holes near each other, and somehow, the Empire made a top secret scientific installation there. Coruscant - it's a giant city... covering he entire planet Kessel Mines - how and what produces Glitterstim? The Qeulla (I'll get back to you with correct spelling) - Unknown Alien race whose ship is bringing them back to life Hyperspace/Hyperdrive - No one can rememebr where it came from The Force - It's a mystery, at least to the normies Ithor's diverse forest - forest covers planet* Outbound Flight Project - No one knows what happeed to it, and little knew about it** The Unknown Regions - an unexplored mystery And more as I think of them. What Wonders of the Galaxy would you include? * Until the Yuuzhan Vong destroyed it that is. ** Question may be answered in new book by Zahn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Keralys Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 I agree with you on most of those. Mine: 1. The Maw. 2. The Corellia System, particularly Centerpoint Station - all artificial and nobody has any stinking idea how. 3. This is an NJO spoiler: Zonama Sekot - a freakin living planet. 4. Coruscant 5. The Valley of the Jedi 6. The Death Stars - just in terms of pure technology. 7. The Vortex Cathedral of Winds enhanced quantum technology. (Somebody remind me of the name, PLEASE!) *has been edited to show that has been reminded...* 8. Another NJO spoiler: Yuuzhan'tar's rings before their collaps by Zonama Sekot's arrival. 9. The Force 10. The Valley of the Sith 11. the architecturally fantastic bridges - the Canyonade - on a planet - called Cejansij - that Luke visits in Specter of the Past, also that I cannot remember the name of... *but now I do remember... hehehe* More later, of course. And the names of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted February 19, 2004 Author Share Posted February 19, 2004 I think the Vortex temple you refer to is called the Cathedral of Winds. Something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drako Harkon Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Another wonder of the Galaxy is tha miracle liquid, Bacta. Amazing healing properties saved millions/billions (especially on Coruscant with the Krytos Virus). anyone remember the story of the renegade Twi'leks who put the victims in a bacta tank, inject an electric current and torture until near death, then let the bacta heal them...

Master_Keralys Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Yeah, jI remember that story... hehehe. I was thinking of the Cathedral of Winds, and Cathedral just wasn't coming to mind. The other one, well is on Cejansij, and I'll post it here, then edit my other to fix those... it's the Canyonade on Cejansij. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drako Harkon Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 I think the Vortex temple you refer to is called the Cathedral of Winds. Can someone inform me a little more bout this cathedral of winds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinkie Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 It was made of crystals that sang in the wind, and the winged creatures who lived on the planet would fly around and cover holes, using it like a giant organ kinda thing. But then Ackbar had his ship sabotaged and he crashed it into the cathedral destroying it. At least I think that's what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted February 22, 2004 Author Share Posted February 22, 2004 Ackbar's ship was sabatoged by his trusted mechanic. He crashed into the temple because he couldn't get the controls to respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark jedi 8 Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 i think the massassi pyramids on yavin4, and the beautiful scenery of endor. that's from the movies anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drako Harkon Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Ackbar's ship was sabatoged by his trusted mechanic. He crashed into the temple because he couldn't get the controls to respond. That must suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drako Harkon Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 What book is this temple of winds in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinkie Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Jedi Academy Trilogy I believe, but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drako Harkon Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 StarWarsPhreak, comformation please.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drako Harkon Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Also, until Talon Karrde found it, the Katana Fleet was one of the wonders of the galaxy. it's come up in more than a few books when people are wishing for a miracle to save them... If you consider this a spoiler (in other words, haven't read the Grand Admiral Thrawn trilogy) then shame on you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted February 23, 2004 Author Share Posted February 23, 2004 Yes, it's the Jedi Academy trlogy. It's the one where that Carida guy wanted Anakin on Anoth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drako Harkon Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 As Dark Jedi 8 said, the Massassi Temple is pretty cool, as it's where Exar Kun lay dormant and where the Yavin base was and where Luke set up his academy. It's seen a lot of action and is pretty wondorous in itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
