PoiuyWired Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Definitely Not Revan though. My guess would be Darth Traya, cause the old pag trained Revan. There most be more, but the old siths and sithlords in the tombs are not really named "Darth" at their times. But yes Darth comes from Dark, Dark Lord of Sith.

Palpatine_dc Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 The Sith special in Star Wars Insider/Star Wars Magazine states that Revan and Malak were indeed the first known Darth's; Kreia/Traya trained Revan when she was still a Jedi. It was only after his turn to the dark side that she became corrupted by Malachor 5. So point Davin. Darth Revan and Darth Malak are generally believed to be the first Dark Lords to use the title. Given that much of their power was derived from the Star Forge, a creation of the extinct Rakata species, some historians see "Darth" as a corruption of Daritha, the Rakatan word for "Emperor". Similarly, others note that the word for "trumph" or "conquest" in Rakatan is darr, and the word for "death" is tah. This has led to theories that "Darth" is derived from darr tah and means "triumph over death" or "immortal". A competing theory asserts that the true meaning of darr tah is "conquest trough death"...of ones enemies. Numerous other cultures or species can -and do- make similar claims to the etymology of the Darth title. But great are the mysteries of the dark side, and in the end there is no definiteve answer.

Davinq Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Assuming you mean the Millenium Falcon... A: In LotF, Bloodlines (an awesome read), the Falcon was unable to take any more, and began falling apart on the way to Coruscant. The year was 40 ABY.

Davinq Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 You mean I was incorrect about the falcon question... New Answer: A: The Falcon was an Imperial Corvette that was destroyed by Keyan Farlander and his wingmate in a time period between RotS and ANH.

Astrotoy7 Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 In which book? I would really love to read it :3 I would think it is the Farlander Papers that were part the Tie Fighter Flight Sim's guidebook or thereabouts but Pouiy could confirm it 100% @Davin... sorry. I am referring to the Milennium Falcon!! Anyway, the book that first describes the Falcon being torn to shreds, is from the Jedi Academy Trilogy, Jedi Search anyway, current question stays open.

Pho3nix Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 The first city on Bespin was Cloud City. It was overrun by the CIS during the Clone Wars. Lando Carlissian later won the title Baron Administrator of the city, he won this title by winning Dominic Raynor (who was the Baron of Cloud City at the time if I remember correctly) in a Sabacc tournament.

I think he is referring to that other Bespin city described in the WoTC source... we'll wait for confirmation on this none. If Pho3nix isnt right I can supply the other answer mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoiuyWired Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Not Bespin city nor Cloud City, and actually predates them by possably quite a bit, being the first city/settlement on planet Bespin and all. Tip, its close to Bespin City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoiuyWired Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Tibannopolis but that came after cloud city. Actually thats the correct answer. Tibannopolis(the structure) is actually the first ever repulsorlift settlement on Bespin, predating Cloud City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foshjedi2004 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Actually Ugnorgrad is... Dude. Tibannopolis was the second largest city on Bespin. The city was constructed in close orbit around the gas giant, and its builders hoped it would one day rival Cloud City in terms of both gas mining and popularity. Its inability to compete on these terms, caused its citizens to gradually abandon it during the ferocious Clone Wars. Ugnorgrad was the defacto capital of the Ugnaught Surface facility, a floating colony built by the Ugnaughts in orbit around the planet Bespin. The city was named after the legendary Boss Ugnor, and was the retirement location of many Ugnaughts hailing from the Cloud City workforce. They preferred Ugnorgrad and the Ugnaught Surface to staying in Cloud City, and also felt no need to travel back to their homeplanet of Gentes, due to all the time and work spent on the Bespin colonies. Significant locations in Ugnorgrad included the Ugnorgrad Performance Hall and the start of the Ugnorgrad Swampway skimmer race course. In the early years of the New Republic, the Ugnaught King Ozz was the ruler of Ugnorgrad. Bespin History History The planet was first colonized in 1,989 BBY when Lord Ecclessis Figg first commissioned Cloud City, to be built by the Incom Corporation at the same time. Therefore... The First Floating City on Bespin Was CLOUD CITY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoiuyWired Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Hmmm... funny, cause I have two sources confirming Tibannopolis predating Cloud City. One being the databank on Galactic Battlegrounds, the other I saw on one of those graphic illustrations book (need to dig it out to find the name) "... replusorlift cities are notoriously hard to build... The first such settlements, know as Tibannopolis, Lies disused and crumbling several kilometers away from Cloud City. It is a haven for smugglers and individual prospectors..." BUT, from the Description it DOES seem that Bespin may be the first city also. I think I will give Foshjedi2004 the point. Now Ugnorgrad (its also kinda a city) is also quite interesting. Lets move on to he next question then, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
