Hoth was assaulted by a squadron of 5 ISDs: Captain Needas ship the Avenger, a class II ISD, who found and pursued the Millenium Falcon out of the astroid field. Involved in 436 planetary suppressions since it was commissioned, and served under 8 different captains in a period of 2 years. The Accuser, a class II ISD. Piett transfered flag to this ship after the Bespin incident when Vader returned to Coruscant with the Executor. Present at the Battle of Endor, captured by the Rebel Alliance and renamed the Emancipator. Captain Lennoxs' ship the Tyrant, a class I ISD, temporarily disabled over Hoth by the rebel Ion Cannon. The Stalker, a class II ISD, possibly commanded by captain Akal Zed, and the ship which launched the probe that found the rebel base on Hoth. And the Devastator, a class I ISD, the same ship that intercepted and captured Princess Leias Tantive IV over Tatooine 3 years earlier. The command ship of this squadron, called Death Squadron, was the super star destroyer Executor, commanded by Admiral Kendal Ozzel, but immediatly replaced by Captain Piett after his blunder over Hoth.

JoKen Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Thracken Sal-Solo Sal-Solo, Thrackan Han Solo's first cousin, being the son of Han's father's sister, Thrackan looked and sounded very much like Han himself. Thrackan was a little heavier-set, with a little more gray in his hair, and a beard. Thrackan was a highly-ranked Imperial officer in the Corellian Sector during the time of the Empire, and was the heir-apparent for the position of Diktat when he supposedly died. This was about the time Han left the Corellian Navy to become a smuggler. Thrackan actually went underground, and began plotting the secession of the Corellian Sector from the enforced interspecies relations the Empire demanded. When the New Republic emerged, Thrackan continued to remain hidden, and built the Human League as the beginnings of his pro-human plans. He became the League's Hidden Leader, and he emerged from his hiding just after he initiated the intra-species wars in the Corellian Sector, just prior to the Corellian Trade Summit. With Chief of State Leia Organa-Solo confined to the Sector, Trackan announced the secession of the Sector from the New Republic, and declared himself Diktat. Using technology he didn't understand, Thrackan erected a huge interdiction field around the Corellian System, centered at Centerpoint Station. In the confusion which surrounded the inter-species fighting and the isolation from the Republic, Thrackan captured Han and held him prisoner, hoping to use him to maintain control of Leia. Thrackan continually harangued his cousin, lashing out in drunken fits of rage. He even pitted Han against Selonians in forced battle, just for pleasure. This worked against him, for Han and the Selonian - Dracmus - eventually escaped by working together. Their escape was soon followed by an assault from the New Republic, which was bolstered by Bakuran forces, that managed to penetrate the interdiction field erected in the sector. Feeling his fragile plans collapsing, Thrackan ordered the kidnapping of Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin Solo. This action also backfired, as it was the children, with the help of Chewbacca, Ebrihim, and the Drallian Duchess Marcha, who discovered the key to the planetary repulsors hidden within the planets of the Corellian System.They also slipped through his grasp, during the battle between the Sacorrian Triad and the New Republic. Thrackan gave chase, but the children managed to damage his ship enough to allow it to be captured by the Intruder's tractor beam. Thrackan was placed in jail and eventually convicted of a multitude of crimes. After spending eight years at the Dorthas Tal prison on Selonia, Thrackan was given a chance to prove his rehabilitation by helping the archaeologists aboard Centerpoint Station discover how to reactivate it. He later was part of the team assigned to discover if the station could be used as a weapon against the Yuuzhan Vong. When it was learned that the Yuuzhan Vong had attacked Fondor instead of Corellia, Thrackan and his workforce insisted that Anakin Solo use his connection to the Station and his abilities with the Force to fire on the Yuuzhna Vong fleet at Fondor. Anakin refused, so Thrackan took the shot himself. Unfortunately, the shot was inaccurate, and destroyed much of the Hapan fleet which was supporting the New Republic. It also grazed the planet Fondor itself, and wiped out the Yuuzhan Vong armada. Despite the political repercussions from the Hapes Consortium, Thrackan Sal-Solo was portrayed as the hero of the Battle of Fondor for taking the shot which caused so much destruction to the alien forces. With the ouster of Governor-General Marcha, Thrackan suddenly found himself a leading candidate to lead the Corellian Sector as an independent entity. His actions, despite their failure to do any good, made him something of a hero in the Corellian Sector, and gained him the election to Governor General. He clamped down on the security measures in the sector, assuming command of the Centerpoint Party and striving to ensure that the sector was not compromised by the New Republic or the Yuuzhan Vong. However, in the wake of the Battle of Coruscant, Thrackan Sal-Solo threw his support to the Yuuzhan Vong, and offered to sign a "treaty of friendship" with them in return for the recognition of the Corellian Sector's neutrality. Rather than allow Thrackan to return to Corellia, however, Supreme Overlord Shimrra appointed him President of Ylesia and the Commander in Chief of the Peace Brigade. Unfortunately, Thrackan was capture by the New Republic on Ylesia, where he also learned that the Centerpoint Party had exiled him from the Corellian Sector. After being incarcerated by the Republic, Thrackan was extradited back to Corellia to stand trial. Bonus: Tralus and Talus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Gaarni Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Just prior to the Clone Wars, Anakin and Obi-Wan were assigned to mediate a border dispute on the outlying world of Ansion. Ansion: This planet was located near Vortex and Bilbringi, and was orbited by two moons. The homeworld of the Ansionian people, Ansion was a world covered with sweeping grasslands and plains. This landscape was often swept by high winds, as there were few mountains to break up the wind. As a result, most species found on the planet were either avians which rode the winds or sure-footed enough to remain on the ground. However, there were stands of trees and sharp, volcanic vents dotting the landscape, breaking the seeming monotony of the plains. Some ten years after the Battle of Naboo, Ansion was one of the first planets to vote to secede from the Old Republic, an event which held great political implications. Unknown to many, Count Dooku and the leaders of the growing secession movement had planned to use Ansion as the first of several planets to actually secede. Hoping that a plethora of planetary alliances would be enforced, Dooku believed that many more planets would follow Ansion and secede, thereby destroying the already fractured Republic. However, the Jedi Knights were dispatched to ensure that Ansion remained part of the Republic. Eventually, an accord between the peoples of the plains and the city dwellers was made to remain with the Republic, forestalling a great turmoil in the Republic. Decades later, Ansion was overrun by the Yuuzhan Vong as they made their way toward Coruscant some twenty-seven years after the Battle of Yavin.

Thew Rydur Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 I don't really think you should give your extra info straight from the encyclopedia, being the Wraith does answer with it. YOu should at least rephrase it or something. Any one else agree with me here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Gaarni Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 I used to type my answers using my own words, but I continually got beaten by people who copy and pasted. Have you any idea how much that sucks? I could spend half an hour to an hour, working on something like that Ansion answer there before, because I believe the answer should come from you, not someone else, and then posting it only to find out half a dozen other people had already posted the answer using copy and past. So I stopped. However, although I could have chosen to take the info about what Anakin and Obi-Wan was doing there in more detail, that would have revealed the bonus question. So I chose to add some info on the planet involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoKen Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 I apologise, Jan. I did not mean to offend you. I had no idea that you had the same text as mine. I did not copy that text from your post. If you want, I can edit my posts so that I don't have that extra info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deft Aklin Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 I very much agree with you Jan. I started out typing my own, but then realized I wasn't getting as many points as others. I think there should be a rule regarding plageurism. Just my opinion though. Admittingly, in some instances I have simply rephrased the info found in the unofficial encyclopedia and on the SW website, though even then I felt some guilt. Editted to add: I realize, now, after re-reading the above text that it may sound somewhat accusational. I want to reassure all of you that it is not intended to be as such. My apologies in advance should anyone take it wrong. Anyway, as far as me donating the five and not answering the question, I only feel it is fair to whoever wins. Simply bedause I do not know the answer is not a satisfactory reason for me not to donate. In the event I actually missed the question, IE, never saw it before the answer was revealed, then I would not donate. Which I believe was the original intention of the donation format. Seriously though, it's only five credits. .....and I already have my glow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
