Palpatine_dc Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Well, you did answer my question altough you didn't know it Alpha Red is indeed a Yuuzhan Vong specific bio-weapon. It is developed by Dif Scour and New Republic Intelligence together with the Chiss. It is refined from the pollen of Ithorian Bafforr trees and targets a genetic treat common in all Yuuzhan Vong and Vongformed life. It was tested only in controlled enviroments before it was stolen and neutralised by Vergere. The blueprints, however were not destroyed and after a while a new batch of the bio-weapon was made. This was then first used operationally (meaning outside of a lab) on Caluula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrotoy7 Posted October 31, 2005 Author Share Posted October 31, 2005 Yes, the Dantooine question is indeed a 'movie trivia' question, and has been asked in over there as well Alpha Red has also been covered earlier in this quiz, but since you chaps are newer to here I'll let it slide If you ever feel inclined though, feel free to browse over previous pages, some very intresting Qs & As * * * Ok, I see no active question, so here's one: Q. Describe the fate of Lord Shimrra ? At whose hands ? mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpatine_dc Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Astrotoy7, I read trough most posts, but not the whole thread. Besides my main question was not what is Alpha Red, but where was it first used. A fine but distinctive difference I think. Anyway ,on with the Q&A. A: Killed in the battle for Coruscant/Yuuzhan'tar . Decapitated by Luke Skywalker, using 2 lightsabers; his own and Anakin's (Solo). Q: Who succeeded Dif Scour as head of New Republic (at that point actually GFFA) Intelligence Agency. **bonus for 2 points** What was his/her rank when this character was first introduced and in which novel/book/comic was this?

Astrotoy7 Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 Palpatine, you may need to provide us with the answer, your question has been up almost a week now ! * * * New Question ? Q. Who is Raynar Thul ? What became of him ? mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpatine_dc Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 A: (to my own Q ) Belinda Kalenda succeeded Dif Scour and was intruduced as a Lieutenant in the first novel of the Corellian Trilogy; Ambush at Corellia. A: (to Astro's Q) Raynar Thul was the son of Alderaanian shipping magnate Bornan Thul and Aryn Dro. He was found to be Force sensitive and send to the Jedi Academy at Yavin IV. He was part of the Myrkr mission, send to destroy the Voxyn, bio-engeneered Yuuzhan Vong Jedi killers. He was wounded by a Voxyn and taken to their Escape ship, the Tachyon Flier. Unfortunatly this ship was stolen by 2 Dark Jedi, Wekk and Lomi Plo, who were being held prisoner by the Yuuzhan Vong and were freed by the Jedi Strike team. The Flier, with Thul still aboard was fired upon by the Yuuzhan Vong as it jumped to Hyperspace and was presumed destroyed. Warning the following has spoilers for the Dark Nest Trilogy: The Flier chrashed in the Unkown Regions and cought fire. Raynar rescued Lomi Plo and Wekk from incineration, but the 2 Dark Jedi left their badly burnt savior to die. He was found by the insectoid Killiks of the Yoggoy hive. He became the first 'Joiner', and subsequent leader of the new Unu hive and renamed himself UnuThul. Q: How many children did Baron Soontir Fel have? What were their names? EDIT: Again no one answers. Is this thread not visited that often or are my questions too difficult? Anyway the anwers were: -6 children, 5 official and one "shadowchild". A shadowchild is a child kept secret so enemies could not wipe out the whole family. -They were Jagged, Chak, Wynssa, Davin, Cherith and the shadowchild was Cem. New Q: What is a Nightsister? **bonus** Where do they come from and what's the connection with Han Solo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leviathan Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Night Sisters come from Dathomir, a world that Han Solo thought to have earned during a Sabacc game. (If I'm not wrong...) But the "local factions" proclaimed their freedom, and the property's titer of that world was given up by the smuggler... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC-1162 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 @astrotoy: all Y wings are 2 seaters, and i dont think i would count leia sitting in a y wing with her brother as 'peculiar' anyway: Q: What was the name and profession of Jinzler's sister? *bonus*: What unique mission was she sent on?

Leviathan Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Jinzler's sister (Whose first name is Lorana) was a Jedi who had been trained since the age of 10 months at the Jedi Temple. I know she were selected for the "Outbound Flight" exploration mission, which were in fact its only mission, as she died there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benTantilles Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 "all Y wings are 2 seaters" no, actually. only the BTL-S3 version is 2-seater. that's the one used by those bothans in shadows of the empire, as well as general salm's Aggressor Wing in the Rogue Squadron comics. the BTL-A4 version, which seems to be more common, is single-seater. it's the one used by Gold Squad at Yavin, which explains why you didn't see anyone behind the pilots of Gold Group.

Astrotoy7 Posted November 27, 2005 Author Share Posted November 27, 2005 Thanks benT re - Y wings The 2 seater Y-wing first appeared in "Splinter of the Minds Eye" There's a nice illustration in the comic * * * Q. Name 4 types of Tie Fighters that have *only* ever appeared in EU ? Bonus point for pic of each one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benTantilles Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Thanks benT re - Y wings no problem. as for the 4 TIE fighters- 1) TIE Defender appeared in the x-wing novels Isard's Revenge & Starfighters of Adumar, along with the x-wing games. here 's a pic. 2) TIE/D I believe that's what the TIE droid fighters are called. They appeared in Dark Empire, in the Reborn Emperor's service, as part of the attack on Mon Calamari. pic 3) TIE Raptor A design of the engineers of Warlord Zsinj. He seems to have a thing for Raptors- even his personal ground commandos go by the same name. They're featured in the Allston novel Solo Command as part of a trap sprung on then-Commander Wedge Antilles. here 's a pic, though i think it's unofficial. can someone verify whether it matches the description given in Solo Command? 4) TIE Crawler i'm not sure if this falls under your category of "fighter", astrotoy, but i figured this deserves a mention. It's actually a land-based TIE. a tank, so to speak. was used in Dark Empire, too, and saw action on Coruscant. here 's a picture. other TIEs include the TIE Shuttle and those experimental TIEs we battled against in X-wing Alliance. damn, that was a fun game.
