The QM is supposed to master the Quest, but instead, the Quest mastered him.
...Not inaccurate.
Mind you, the X-Wing is kinda implied to be on the drawing board around this point.
I-com was told to more or less hand over the blueprints and the first limited production run when the Empire came to power.
The employees basically trashed everything involving the project and went underground, producing X-Wings in 'cottage workshops' in small amounts for the Rebels.
So it's more of a "How did you know about it?!" reaction.

Because she's not using the other half-dozen and leaving them lying around the lab would have been untidy. Perhaps saying "half a dozen spares" would have been clearer.
Minor typo there. Should be 'fall'.
I have been rereading the quest and thinking about our title as Darth Traya, and I kinda just realized how far we need to go to be worthy of that mantle. And not because of the assassins, or even her personal skill in combat: it's her absolute supremacy when it comes to mind control.
Seriously, I don't think there is anyone in Canon who comes remotely close to her abilities. Stuff like knowing Canderous's entire history upon meeting him (and subsequently knowing exactly which handles to use) is just insane.

I'd like to raise a point, if we follow the readings of the TCW Season that never was, the Jedi might want to dig far down under the Temple. So many Jedi falling to Bulq could be explained by the Sith Shrine the ancient Jedi Order built their own over to contain the Dark Side energies and over the thousands of years they thought they succeeded... they were wrong:
James Luceno said:
For the Jedi delved too greedily and too deep...
I mean, yes and no. The Jedi succeeded as much as they failed. that kind of line is a big part of the reason I dislike the last Jedi, tbh (along with giving Luke an incredibly unsatisfying character arc)

I wouldn't really say you need to bother with some mysterious Sith shrine as an explanation.
One of the made points made in KOTOR 2 was that given the long history of Jedi falling to the Dark Side. Over. And Over. And Over again.
That you reach a point where you kind of have to consider that the teachings of the Jedi themselves bear some responsibility.
Which is not really a surprise to people in this thread, given all the discussion there's been over this and related topics.
It also makes the point that war is really bad for Jedi in general.

Thanks I wasn't entirely sure how it would be received. I'm glad people seem to like it a lot.
Some of the books I've been reading lately have been using '' not "" so it kind of bled into my work. I looked around a bit and there's generally no rule against it so I didn't feel the need to change it.

Aww, Siri Tachi's going to be sad. Maybe she can work out a timeshare? :lol
I don't think so. Their bio states that they where designed as a direct descendant of the Headhunter with lessons learned from the ARC-170's performance during the Clone Wars. So I doubt it's little more than the first scratching of the first draft proposed.
Ironically there where Imperials who wanted to use the X-wing to replace the TIE fighter as the main starfighter of the Galactic Empire. So when they rushed to nationalise the corporation and forcibly conscript all the engineers, the owners decided that they didn't want their work stolen and contacted the Rebel Alliance.
Besides I think we can build a better X-Wing with Raith Sienar and Beolars Bribbs on speed dial.

Huh.
I just realized, with Gene-modding Ciaran can make any kids she adopts (if she does that) her own.
While on the topic, what do we do if she dies? I mean, this is a faction quest, who replaces her. Or has Thrawn already got clones set up for her?

Well, when she nearly died early on, Silas took over while she recovered. I'd assume he will be the one in command again if Ciaran somehow got killed.

Hmm, we should still have a backup plan though.
Maybe learn from Vetivus how he tied himself to home? Then she ties herself to Oracle or Lordran or something. At least until she can have another body made.

The Thoughts of Grandmaster OG of the Wu-Tang Clan Samuel L. Jackson..
Wait what there's no forth wall breaking in Star Wars please hold
Mace Windu yeah that's the guy..here we go!
"Master Sora Bulq. That idiot, bitch-ass motherkriffer. I told him. Repeatedly. Don't push Vaapad too much. Why. The. Kriff. Didn't. He. Come. To. Me.
So he had to go all Sith on us. Bulq knew it was dangerous pushing his dark emotions and he did it anyway. Regardless of what the reason was, he was a Master of this Order and should have conducted himself as much. He knew he had a support system. I can only hope that no other Knight or Master
does something like this..now where's my headphones..
Later, Jedi Council Chambers..
Mace Windu: Don't forget what Ol' Dirty said, 'I'll Kriff your ass up! Now, listen.."
Anakin: Master Windu, I have to ask..just what is going on with you lately? Are you slowly going insane?
Mace: I'm just reciting some lyrics from a song I heard on the Holonet. It came from some strange planet out in Wild Space called Earf. Dirt. Whatever. Wu-Tang Clan, the song was Gravel Pit. Speak when spoken to, Skywalker. You're not a Master.
Yoda: Rudeness, no need for it, Master Windu. Now, Temple Bombing. Thoughts?
Mace: I'm still at a loss for any insight, fellow Masters. Sora Bulq was a good friend of mine. The more Jedi we lose, the more I want to scalp Senators. Yeah, I said it. Scalp. Take the skin off the top of their heads with my saber.
Obi-Wan: ....I can't hear this anymore. Master Windu you really should consider a vacation or someth
Mace: Really, Master Kenobi? Where to? Dac? Kamino? Naboo? Tralus? The Undercity? Hoth? Where can I go where the war wouldn't follow?
Obi-Wan : Hmm. Fair point.
Mace: Damn right. "I'm on a mission that haters say is impossible, but when I swing my swords, they all choppable."
Cirian: What.
Anakin: What.
Ashoka: What.
Yoda: What.
Mace: ...What? Buy a kriffing album. Get on my level. Anyway, Anakin, go get me 100 darksider scalps. All 100 of them. Then we can discuss your Masterhood.
Anakin:....Of course, Master. How that isn't darkside I'll never know..but it will get done.
(Ok, admittedly that wasn't my best work)

Well, it is obvious that Tarkin and Palpatine cannot process Ashoka for terrorism... But if they want they can put Ashoka on trial for breaking out of prison, because even if you are completely innocent of the crime you have been accused, it is illegal to escape detention.

The correct tense you are looking for is "would be". It's future tense so it needs to be based on that but it's only a possibility not a certainty. So therefore you use would instead of will.
If this was a TV show, half to 2/3's of Star Wars fans would be broken in between wanting to tear the writers a new one because "how dare they insert this Mary Sue" who is taking main character status away from the actual main characters and seething over the creation of a new canon which destroys the old one. The rest would just be enjoying the ride.

I agree with the factions but have a different take on the percentiles.
