MachineCult Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Q: What is a Cortosis alloy? What is it used for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpatine_dc Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 A: Cortosis is a rare mineral that resists lightsaber blades. Because it's very brittle, it has to be used in an alloy, if it's to be forged into armor or weapons. A weapon made of Cortosis alloy can withstand a lightsaber, while pure cortosis can even temporarily shut down a lightsaber. Q: Cortosis is not the only lightsaber resistant material. Give at least 2 other examples and their source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palpatine_dc Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Vonduun crab armor and amphistaffs. Source: the NJO books Sorry, that's not the right answer. Vonduun Crab armor and amphistaffs are based on creatures who employ an energy charge to become impenetratable to lightsabers. They are not made of a material that is lightsaber resistant, which is what i asked. Question stands. Q: Cortosis is not the only lightsaber resistant material. Give at least 2 other examples and their source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Phrik and Mandalorian Iron. Source? You mean the where they pop up in the EU? Magnaguard electrostaffs and Mandalorian armour from the KOTOR era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
??1 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 While you are right about amphistaffs using a electric charge, vonduun crab does not use a electric charge; it has some sort of 'crystalline properties(maybe like quantum armor).' Anyways, no point in argueing. Other lightsaber-resistant materials include: Mandalorian iron,(source: Tales of the Jedi:Dark Lords of the Sith, Star Wars: Knights of the Old republic II:The Sith Lords); Phrik alloy, (source: Labrynth of Evil, Republic Commando: Triple Zero); Sith Swords, (source: The New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology); and Quantum armor in the Jedi Academy triology is probrably resistant to lightsabers too.

Palpatine_dc Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Very good, both of you. But Prime takes the points, ??1 gets a thumbs up for his extra info.

Foshjedi2004 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 It is initially given to Luke, Vader gets it back at Bespin, then on Byss Luuke Skywalker uses it then it is given to Mara Jade. Then Luke gets it back I think...I don't remember reading that it was destroyed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
??1 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Luke doesn't get it back; he lets Mara Jade keep it, and as far as I know she still has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 OK. Palpatine_dc will have to confirm the answer, but I'd say Foah has all the necessary elements for the points. * * * New Question: Q.

Darth_Deastron Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I love Star Wars, but I can't even get that one!!! Please keep posts to questions and answers DD. This thread is voluminous enough as it is without chatter - Astro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palpatine_dc Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 AFAIK you are both right, but since Astro fielded the question it's his decision. About my earlier Q: OK. Palpatine_dc will have to confirm the answer, but I'd say Foah has all the necessary elements for the points.[/Quote] I concur, Fosh gets the points Allright gentlebeings: A New Question: What is an Idiot's Array?

Astrotoy7 Posted May 21, 2006 Author Share Posted May 21, 2006 OK. "??1" please dont double post. Use the edit button ! Also, there is *No need* to ask for confirmation as I always respond to questions I have asked in particular and confirm other answers if Im able to. Either way, Fosh gets the point because he was first. Though, your answer was also correct. * * * Palpatine_dc's question stands: What is an Idiot's Array? What does it consist of? carry on!! mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foshjedi2004 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 An Idiots Array is a Card Combination in the Game of Sabacc. An "Idiot's Array" is a literal 23: Three cards whose individual values equal 0, a 2, and a 3, a literal 23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpatine_dc Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Very good Fosh'. The only card with a value of 0 is "the idiot", hence the name Idiot's Array. Q: What was special about Blotus the Hutt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrotoy7 Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 Interesting. A Hutt Chancellor. Im assuming this appeared in the comics as I hadnt read that in a novel anywhere. * * * New Question ? Q. Name the New Republic Gamorrean fighter pilot. What was special about him ? mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoiuyWired Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Forgot how to spell his name correctly, but Its Voots, or some variant of this. Him, along with a famous ewok pilot and some others (dumber sentients), are product of some enhancement experiment dubbed project Chuba. So basically these guys are one of a kind since the project got shut down and scientists go suicide and things. The ewok goes for another life with that turncoat/schitzo multi-identity spy woman(forgot her name), and Voots stayed a Republic pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpatine_dc Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 It's Voort "Piggy" saBinring. He was as PoiuyWired said biogenetically engeneered to be smarter than the average Gammorrean and had the ability to speak Basic. He was a good enough pilot to be noticed by Wedge Antilles and Wes Janson and joined Wraith Squadron, earning the callsign of "Piggy". In the NJO he turns up again with the Wraiths and even becomes a part time member of Twin Suns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foshjedi2004 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Actually he was a Rebel Alliance Pilot. He became a Wraith Squadron Pilot just after they took Thryferra in the Xwing Series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
