setsuko Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 More info: Han and his twin children has various adventures on Ord Mantell in the Young Jedi Knigt series, in the appropriately named book "Return to Ord Mantell". Black Sun wants revenge, there's a race, and whatnot. Haven't read it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wraith 8 Posted June 13, 2002 Author Share Posted June 13, 2002 Answer: Ord Mantell Bonus goes to: RoyalGuard (walking databank ) Posted by RoyalGuard After a brief search of the SW.com databank: Obi-wan and Qui-Gon went there 5 years before TPM. Ord Mantell is described as a lawless world where the Jedi are not welcome. Ord Mantell also has a thriving slave trade. Dash Rendar followed IG-88 to Ord Mantell in the search for Han after Fett made of with his carbonite-frozen form. Most of Bail Organa's family funds were stored on Ord Mantell, until they were liberated by Leia sometime after ANH but before ESB. Some one who's read the comics will probably come up with more... You get the 2.5 points.. but i saw yesterday that i made a HUGE mistake. the extra info was not the planet ord mandell.... it was another planet.. i thought that on Ord Mantell Luke and Vader had a fight and that Vader lost his hnad there (again) .. my mistake.

Hint: 'minds' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Evad Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 The minds of the pilot and first mate don't have enough capacity to know how much and what the configuration changes do. Remember, the captain won the "piece of junk" in a card game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 The hyperdrive keeps malfunctioning during the movies. And the fact that it is built by a wide range of spare parts, found objects, and pure junk doesn't improve things. Is there really one original piece on the whole ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalGuard Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 There are several theories as to why the Falcon is so unreliable. The one that I believe Wraith refers to is that the falcon has three droid minds integrated into it, which bicker constantly and cause things to break. Other reasons include Han and Chewie having jury-rigged, replaced and upgraded so many things over the years that the only original material in the entire ship is the hull! The Falcon was originally owned by Lando Calrissian, who made major modifications to the corellian YT-1300 transport. It was won by Han Solo after a game of Sabacc. The stake was one of Lando's ships; Lando expected Han to choose one of his flashier recreation models, but Han showed surprising insight and picked the falcon instead. Upgrades to the Falcon include: Three droid minds to 'co-ordinate' the maintenance and power regulation of the Falcon's systems. 2 Quad laser turrets Concussion Missile tubes Smuggling Compartments Upgraded Shields Pintel-mounted under-hull light repeat (seen in ESB) Better Shields MUCH better (though very unreliable) hyper-drive. Holo-chess table In later years many of the more illegal systems were removed, the falcon got maintenance from legit engineers and became more reliable. In the NJO the falcon also recieved a coat of matte black paint to improve sensor camouflage and alter it's distinct appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Doh! I forgot the droid minds! And you even gave a hint! Baaaad setsuko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalGuard Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 So that's first correct answer to the red guy again (aka the walking databank) What more proof do you need of Imperial superiority? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DashRendar1 Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Can I get on this? Yup, the droid minds bickering and always predicting that theFalcon won't work. They also seem to be rude. (Refer to the scene with 3P0 and the computer in ESB) Also, Han and Chewie did modifications that improve the ship, but made repairs harder. In SOTE, Lando complains that Han mad a rats nest of wires where there should be a pop out circuit board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Gaarni Posted June 15, 2002 Share Posted June 15, 2002 Well, as usual I'm late. But anyway, it's mostly because the three droid brains that the ship has predicts that the ship won't fly, but Solo and Chewbacca somehow manages to get airborn anyway. Royal Guard listed many extra components added to the ship, however he left out some: It is fitted with a sensor suite system (highly illegal might I add) which can detect Imperial ships long before they detect the Falcon. It also sports modifications to it's sublight engines aswell, and it has a very short start-up sequence of about 3 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted June 15, 2002 Share Posted June 15, 2002 *Checks the list* WTF? I lead? Maaaan.. it seems like I have to get a life and spend less time checking the boards... .... .... nah. I'll do that some other day. And guys, you have to admit that the whole quiz becomes a lot more interesting when the quizmaster has no clue what he asks, aight?

RoyalGuard Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 So that's three correct answers, is it too much to ask for two more people to post - I'm beginning to jones for my Trivia fix, and I'm so close to going top! SOO CLOOSSSE! Oh, wait I seem to have lost my life, I'll be back when I find another one and can stop taking this seriously... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalGuard Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 OK, as part of setting his affairs in order, Wraith 8 pmed me to keep the trivia thread going in his absence, so here goes... Wraith's previous question: What is the Main reason the Millenium Falcon keeps breaking down? Hint: 'minds' The answer: The three droid minds on the falcon. Only three correct answers, with points being allocated thus: 1st: er, me - 6 points 2nd: Dash Rendar1 - 4 points (welcome to the thread btw!) 3rd: Jaan Garni - 3 points bonus goes to Jaan (well I can't give the points to me!) for: Royal Guard listed many extra components added to the ship, however he left out some: It is fitted with a sensor suite system (highly illegal might I add) which can detect Imperial ships long before they detect the Falcon. It also sports modifications to it's sublight engines aswell, and it has a very short start-up sequence of about 3 minutes. Giving Jaan 1 bonus point. So the points are now: 1st. Jan Gaarni 48.9 points 2nd. RoyalGuard 46 points 3rd. Setsuko 45.7 points 4th. Darth Evad 39 points 5th. MikeC 36.9 points 6th. Com Raven 22 points 7th. Koffin 7 points 8th. Darth Simpson 6 points 9th. Rogue15 5 points 10th. Gaalgoth 5 points 11th Dash Rendar1 4 points 12th. Jman3ooo 1 point So Setsuko slips, giving Jaan back the lead, and Dash gets a running start to 11th place. and so to question 14: There have been 5 Super-Class Stardestroyers in the history of the galactic civil war. What were their names? You need all 5 to qualify as a correct answer, and one bonus point will be awarded for the best background history for EACH individual ship (i.e. 1 point if you just describe the history of 1 ship, 5 bonus points if you give background for all of them.)

setsuko Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Hmm.. now, without my books, all I know is the badass one, the one in the movies: the EXECUTOR, darth vaders own toy. And now I'll go celebrate midsommar, so I guess the rest is up to you all The Executor is the one that crashes into Death Star II And some info, from the database: The surface of the Executor was dotted with all sorts of weaponry. Its front arc was covered by 200 heavy and light turbolaser batteries, 50 concussion missile launchers, 100 ion cannons, and 20 tractor beam projectors. Its side arcs each boasted coverage by 75 light turbolaser batteries and 50 heavy turbolaser batteries, as well as 75 missile tubes, 50 ion cannons and 10 tractor beam projectors. The rear arc, traditionally the least defended area of a vessel, had an impressive weapons array of 50 heavy turbolaser batteries, 50 missile tubes, and 50 ion cannons. Its 12,800 meters long, and made, like most cool Empire ships, by the allmighty Kuat Drive Yards. EDIT: Of course! The Lusankya! The Lusankya was used as an Imperial prison by Ysanne Isard until its secret was discovered by Rogue Flight pilot Corran Horn. Oh, and then Warlord Zsinj managed to procure a Super Star Destroyer, the Iron Fist. It was also destroyed, but after quite a fight. Hmmm.. thats three...

setsuko Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 I found one more. I had it on my tongue. It's the Vengeance, featuring in the X-wing vs. Tiefigter game expansion, Balance of the Force. Now that's a big target! EDIT: HAH! The Guardian, from Wanted by Cracken! Thats five! *whew*. Now I can go partying with good conscience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Oh, a friend mailed this to me when I told him about the question. Perhaps I should not take the credit for it, but after all, I don't see this quiz thing as a way to see who knows the most, I see it rather as a way to learn more obscure things. So, here's "Super star destroyers 101": Executor Lord Vader's personal flagship, seen in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. The first ship constructed in its class. Built under heavy security at the Kuat Drive Yards shipyards at Fondor, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, as seen in Classic STAR WARS comics. Destroyed after impaling the second Death Star at Endor when the battle station exploded. Reaper Flagship of Scourge Squadron, an elite group of star destroyers which was formed for Grand Moff Tarkin and commanded by Grand Moff Ardus Kaine subsequent to Tarkin's death. Flagship of Kaine's Pentastar Alignment Imperial faction at a time approximately three years after the Emperor's death. [sTAR WARS Adventure Journal #3]. Kaine died during the Emperor's cloned return and was replaced by Admiral Pellaeon. At the Battle of Oringa destroyed the New Republic fleet carrier Endurance with all its fighters aboard. (This was history at the start of Before the Storm, but must have happened sufficiently late in New Republic history for the new government to have acquired or designed its own dedicated carrier vessels.) Lost while repelling a New Republic invasion of Moff Getelles' territory after Planet of Twilight. [sTAR WARS Essential Chronology] Terror Admiral Sarn's command ship appearing in the Rebel Assault II computer game, which is set sometime before Return of the Jedi. Some story elements in these games don't mesh well with the movies, so the status of the Terror in the overall continuity is uncertain. Guardian Flagship of Fleet Admiral Gaen Drommel. Was stationed in the Core regions near Coruscant at the time of Return of the Jedi. Immediately after word of Palpatine's death was received the Guardian departed to Drommel's home sector as part of his efforts to establish a small personal empire. Severely damaged in a battle with New Republic forces which took place not more than three years after Return of the Jedi. Survived until at least three years after Return of the Jedi [described in Wanted by Cracken]. Captured by New Republic agents more than a decade later [sW Adventure Journal #15: Two for One]. Vengeance Commanded by Admiral Senn in Airam sector sometime between the battles of Hoth and Endor. Destroyed by outgunned rebels in a concerted attack in one of the possible outcomes of Balance of Power; destroyed the Mon Calamari cruiser Liberty in a different game outcome. The real fate of this ship is unknown. [NB. this ship is not the same as the Vengeance serving as flagship for the dark Jedi Jerec, which is a completely different class.] Aggressor The flagship of Admiral Roek was stationed in the Inner Rim regions of the galaxy before the Battle of Endor. Six months later it was recalled to the Galactic Core to fortify and defend the shipyards of the Corellian system from potential rebel attack [sTAR WARS Adventure Journal #2]. This ship, or another by the same name, remained in service and recognised the authority of Ysanne Isard two and a half years after the Battle of Endor. Iron Fist Constructed as Brawl (one of the earliest ships in the Executor-class) and presented to Admiral Zsinj by the Emperor. Renamed after his first command, a Victory-class destroyer. Infamous flagship of the renegade Imperial Warlord Zsinj and used extensively by his forces in campaigns concurrent with the New Republic's capture of Coruscant three years after the Battle of Endor, as described in the X-Wing novels. The target of a five month search by a New Republic naval task force led by General Han Solo, four years after the Battle of Endor [The Courtship of Princess Leia]. Lusankya Secretly built at Kuat under Executor's name and then buried on the surface of Coruscant during the reign of Emperor Palpatine, the Lusankya was used as a top-secret holding facility for prisoners of Imperial Intelligence. Three years after the Battle of Endor, this warship fell under the command of Ysanne Isard. This ship was equipped with an unorthodox repulsorlift bed enabling it to lift off the surface of the planet. Captured by Thyferran and independent forces aligned with the New Republic. Its exact ownership after that point is unclear, but (under command of General Wedge Antilles) Lusankya was decisive in capturing the Imperial planet Phaeda a few months following the demise of the last Palpatine-clone. Its absence from other major conflicts, such as the Thrawn and Shadow Hand campaigns, suggests that the repairs were time-consuming. (unknown) Another Super Star Destroyer remained in the sectors of the Galactic Core and recognised the authority of Ysanne Isard, Director of Imperial Intelligence who ruled from Coruscant two and a half years after the Emperor's death at Endor [X-Wing Rogue Squadron and X-Wing: Wedge's Gamble]. It is possible that this ship is the Aggressor. Knight Hammer Constructed by warlord Superior General Delvardus and commanded by Admiral Daala approximately eight years after the Emperor's death. Plated with special "stealth armour" as a sensor countermeasure, which has the interesting side-effect of making the hull almost completely black [Darksaber]. Intimidator There are three of this class of starship in the Black Sword Fleet [in Before the Storm], thirteen years after the Battle of Endor. One of them was originally named the Intimidator [according to Shield of Lies]. This ship is supposed to exhibit design modifications which are distinctive of "late-production" SSDs, particularly an "additional shield tower located on the centreline". Intimidator became the Yevethan flagship, renamed Pride of Yevetha. Escaped with Imperial counter-mutineers to the Deep Core twelve years after Endor. Found damaged beyond repair and drifting near Unknown Regions four years later [sW Essential Chronology]. Razor Kiss Construction of this ship was almost completed in a spacedock in orbit around the planet Kuat four years after the Battle of Endor. It was stolen by Warlord Zsinj and lasted in his hands for a short time. EDIT: tidied it up a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalGuard Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 ok, maybe there were more than 5... well, I can see who the bonus points go to atm! You still only need to name 5 for a correct answer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Yes, there where more than 5 Super Star Destroyers built, and more than has been mentioned in the books prolly too. Anyway, going for the bonus point would be idiotic and time consuming (atleast for me ). Setsuko has already gone off with it. The only thing i can add is that if you mean Super Star Destroyer Classes, then the Eclipse and Eclipse II also comes under this category. But I noticed you said Super-Class, so I'm guessing you mean just the Executor-Class Super Star Destroyers. Here's my five Executor-Class Super Star Destroyers: Aggressor Executor Guardian Intimidator Iron Fist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
