Xenoblade Chronicles 2: The only game I know that makes you fork out 10K of ingame currency for a minigame to get rare items for a side quest....and gives you 400 in return.
 
It sounds like the Equani actually did it themselves.

They WERE testing a weapon, and decided to test it on their own star, for secrecy. It was more effective than anticipated.
 
why would they test it one a sun with PEOPLE ON THE PLANET CIRCLING IT FOR GODS SAKE!!!!????
Apparently, they didn't mean to. They were based on a moon in that system, aimed at something else, missed, and hit the sun instead creating a several light-minute long solar flare. For some reason there are more details about it on the wiki article for the Equani then there are in the article about the weapon.

How do you built a weapon(thingy?) that does "... creating a several light-minute long solar flare", but are so bad at aiming that you hit your own sun?

I have no idea. Also, that seems like a very odd effect for a weapon that's presumably not meant to be fired into suns to have. Like, what would that do against a ship? Or a planet?

Equani scientists: "Oops we accidentally the whole planet."
Samus Aran: "You've just taken your first step into a larger world."
 
Need to acknowledge things. Here I go:


I love how Greivous' definition of a "walk" isn't that different from TFS!Alucard. Let's call it non-canon but will be canon once the turn gets rolling, +10.


This is honestly interesting, funny, and it warms my heart that some variant of the Daily Show now exists in the Star Wars universe. Canon, +10.

The Late Show with Triko Manchu: Alter Egos

...You're lucky I'm a big Colbert fan. +10.

I'm not sure if this should be an Intrigue action, or merely part of the Hero action I proposed earlier. It works either way -- sabotaging the Corporate Alliance and stealing one of their biggest assets, the CIS Shadowfeed, basically a Holonet for Separatist planets in the Outer Rim. On the other hand, we may need a few base upgrades as prerequisite -- the Shadowfeed has a number of control stations that we'd need to replicate in our base(s) before we can transfer control and eliminate the Corporate Alliance's access points. Alternately, a physical raid on Murkhana (CA headquarters, where those Shadowfeed stations are found) might be enough to seize control of the network.

...You do realize that you're sort of on the same-ish side now, right? What with Dooku helping you?

Screwing over a corporate leader is one thing - they're replaceable and Dooku could honestly care less so long as the new guy falls in line like the Eight did. Actively sabotaging a critical intel network is definitely another thing.

To put it like this: Dooku would understand the Colicoid heist; they aren't willing to share most of their toys and he could certainly appreciate the need for a Scorponek in the right place. He would have questions about why one of the best propaganda assets for the CIS suddenly and violently exploded.

[] Materials Research
-[] Hiridiu -- which can be used to boost communication signals, and create nigh-untappable networks
-[] Hibridium -- a quasi-stealth material that relies on 'dimensional displacement'

Fine. Also yeah Materials research can be expanded. I'm not that picky about it.

All that to say: @Dr. Snark, does Talesan Fry know we have the codebreaker? Was that part of the information we told him last turn, or was it part of the information we kept? Given that he was recruited, is he now a full member of the Abyss Council, or is he something else?

Honestly...he probably does. Hell at this point he would have offered to rebuild it even if he didn't know better.

Why yes, he is that desperate now.

So... @Dr. Snark, is there any possibility that, if we spy on the Jedi, we might be able to learn the location of The Prism?

Er...maybe? Though I'm 99% sure that the Republic government also knows about it and having a supermax prison for people like...well, Asajj is an understandable idea so I don't know what exactly you want to accomplish with that.

Eh, the Jedi kept it super hidden... Even Palpy and the Senate don't know about it... the proof is in the reading of the comic the Prism is from:



About 5:40-5:50:
"This is the one secret that Palpatine didn't know."

Also, you missed my Omake.

Wait, why is Tally desperate?

I feel like I missed something.

Ciaran told him that Palpatine was playing both sides of the war to attain galactic domination, and that one of his key plans is to execute Order 66 and kill all the Jedi.

Taly's fairly Good-aligned all things considered. His two closest friends are Jedi. Do the math.
 
I'm assuming Fry is now at least partially aware he's tied up in something he can't walk away from.

I half expect him to have a secret exposé set up to release when the war is over to make sure Ciaran can't control everything forever.

He strikes me as the sort to write his own death sentence to live up to his more morally upstanding friends.
 
In the event we can't stop Palpatine, I now have the glorious mental image of him looking out the window and seeing the Chu'unthor and a fleet of Abyss Watchers ships carrying as many Jedi as possible off of Coruscant to the Unknown Regions as Thrawn flicks the Vs at him from the bridge.

Oh, a bunch of elite clone divisions just refused Order 66 too and the CNS formally seceded from the Empire. Also that.
 
...
I'm pretty sure the man who would be Darth Krayt is a bit more then 'that one half-Tuscan Jedi'.

Eh, dang it, he's not half Tuskan, he's actually fully human. During my first draft, I accidentally thought his father was a Tusken since his picture on the wiki has him dressed up as a Tusken/ Then I looked again to make sure and saw he was listed as human. Also, really, the only Cirian would really know about him would be the "Human raised as a Tusken who was friendly rivals with Anakin when they were Padawans."
