Raven_Onasi Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Okay, I know that nobody probably thinks about this stuff but. . . This is the fourth time I have played KOTOR I and I had a question, When you ask Canderous to tell you a war story, he tells you one about when he was on the outer rim rooting out the smugglers and pirates, when he hit an asteroid or something like that and something came out of it. - Some sort of rocky growth -A deformed rock pitted by scores of micrometeorite sars -sprayed out thermal projectiles that melted their armor -and it fled into the unknown galaxy What I want to know is WHAT THE HELL IS IT? its probably something simple, or perhaps its not, but I would still like to know what it is. Thanks in advance!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venom750 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 There was a thread like this somewhere but that was long ago its was a Yuzhan Fong scout ship there somestuff about it on wekiapedia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arátoeldar Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 There was a thread like this somewhere but that was long ago its was a Yuzhan Fong scout ship there somestuff about it on wekiapedia It can't be the Yuzhan Fong because that would screw with the New Jedi Order. We are talking about several thousands of years in time difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthOxyClean Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 There was a thread like this somewhere but that was long ago its was a Yuzhan Fong scout ship there somestuff about it on wekiapedia Wookiepedia. Get it right. j/k It can't be the Yuzhan Fong because that would screw with the New Jedi Order. We are talking about several thousands of years in time difference.[/Quote] SCOUT SHIP. I think it is called a Yorik-Stronha (i may be wrong), a bioship used by the Yuuzhan Vong. They sent these out to search for a new galaxy, because the Yuuzhan Vong had left their galaxy to find a new one. And the time difference is because the Vong had many ships, both large and small. Traveling between galaxys is no quick flight. It would take several thousand years to travel from one galaxy to a new one. But the smaller ships in the Vong fleet, such as the Yorik-Stronha, would travel faster, therefore reaching the new galaxy thousands of years before the invasion fleet. That was what the Yorik-Stronha were meant to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 It was not a Yuzhan Vong ship. In my mind, I'd rather have it be a rabid squirrel with a jetpack than those guys. I hate those guys. The truth is, we have no idea what it actually is, and we probably never will. Theories will pop up until the Apocalypse (which I'm told isn't until 2034), but we'll never know for sure.

DarthOxyClean Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Wookiepedia calls the object three different things. A coralskipper (a Vong starfighter) A Yorik-Strohnha (an asteriod-looking Vong bioship) A slivith (a creature made by the vong that were sent out to search the new galaxy) That just means that Wookiepedia has no clue either. And Apocalypse is 2056. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallucination Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 In the NJO books it says the Vong left their galaxy for the first time in ~3000 BBY, and KotOR take place in ~4000 BBY, so thats a ~1000 difference. Bioware might have gotten that little detail wrong, but that ship cannot be a Vong ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bioware might have gotten that little detail wrong, but that ship cannot be a Vong ship. BioWare did screw up the times. But the ship is described exactly like a Yorik-Strohnha is described. So, Bioware obviously intended the asteroid to be a Vong ship, but they screwed up the times, making the "asteroid" not a Vong ship, but an unknown object. Great job BioWare. You totally destroyed what could have been a wonderful story. Now it is just a mystery that will nevr be solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exilos Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Well, I'm thinking that, maybe they left the galaxy 3000 years BBY, but that doesn't mean they didn't scout ahead to begin with... Forgive me for drawing a paralell to the bible here, but before leaving the ark, Noah sent out a dove to scout the terrain, didn't he? I dunno about you, but I wouldn't leave the only ground I got -harbor, repair, foodsource, etc- before knowing if there was something to leave TO beforehand. The Vong may have waited a thousand years to travel, but that doesn't mean NOBODY from the Vong civilization left that galaxy to e.g. scout ahead.

Hallucination Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 The Vong left their galaxy because they were banished and wandered around for much of the time. I doubt they would wander around if they had scout reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae Onasi Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I think Bioware put it in there so we could debate it ad nauseum on forums like this. I wonder if the devs have bets on how many Vong debates it'll start. I have no clue if it's Vong or not, just to add my little 2 bits into the whole debate. It could just be some really cool odd thing that Canderous ran into, and it's something that'll never get answered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHawke Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 It is very, very vong that they put that refrence in KotOR! Edit: Moved to Republic Newsfeed as this is a KotOR I discussion and not a game issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reven0123 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 doctor it is not a load of crap as there is another vong reference in the sith lords when hanharr insted of calling you "jedi" he calls you "jeedai" and you can question him about now all i have to do is go do that. When i can be bothered being evil all the way through that it is as i find it easier to stay good than to turn to the dark side and the dark side is sussposed to be quick and easy?

neenja Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 actually, it was said that it could also have been vagaari ship. apperently their ships also look asteroid-like. so either vong or vagaari, or neither and bioware is setting something up for the next game.

RC-1162 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 sure, but it isnt a Vong ship. it should'nt be a Vong ship. because if it is, HK's got some missions to do. BTW: Is it called Apocalypse? or Armageddon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Foley Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 sure, but it isnt a Vong ship. it should'nt be a Vong ship. because if it is, HK's got some missions to do. It has to be a Vong ship. What else fits the oddly specific qualifications of a deformed, mishapen asteroid that disabled their shields, fired plasma, and went beyond the galactic rim? I'll give you a hint: it rhymes with othing and starts with n. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthVandar205 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Maybe it was just some kind of probe from the Vong and not an actual manned ship that they sent. Just because it made it to the sw galaxy doesnt mean it made it back intact to tell anyone of the existence of such a place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerbieZ Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 i agree with herbiez. come on, every inanimate object has got to have fun sometime... I like you, you agree with most of my posts. Keep it up. Anyway, there were many unexplained things in Kotor, it could have been that this little small dialogue was maybe paving the way for... THE TRUE SITH! Hey at least im sticking it to kotor here people. But i could be vong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because it made it to the sw galaxy doesnt mean it made it back intact to tell anyone of the existence of such a place. I agree with this...sort of. I think that maybe it WAS a vong ship/probe that was maybe a spy or some vong spacecraft trying to re-claim their territory... Hey, I dont know, just some ideas...I dont know very much about SW at all, just stuff from the movies, KotOR games and forums.
