Nobody ever said that the Mandarins had the right idea. "Don't they know what the cats will do to humanity?" -Captain Elizabeth "Shadow" Norwood, WC2.

It's either that, or somebody saw fit to create a perfect replica of the US Capitol building in the middle of Geneva, or wherever.

There is powered marine armor, but that hardly classifies as mechs in the usual sense of the word.

"Kick to the head."

Nah, Palpy's gone, and so is IG88. According to the Shadows of the Empire comic, Fett blew IG88 to small metallic shards.

Doesn't matter, they still got the nukes. In fact, China and Russia recently ran a joint exercise, in which Russia nuked US troops.

If I remember correctly, Invincible is considered a bad-luck name for a ship by naval personnel. Politicians, however, don't take notice of such things.

The Cold War was by no means fifty years of peace. It was just fifty years of low-level warfare, that nobody wanted to call warfare. Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, the Communist insurrections in South America and Africa, some of which are still going on, the rebellions in Eastern Europe that the...

Col. Halcyon in SWC looks a lot like Kurt Russell to me... Anybody else think so?

I didn't mean a rank, I meant he was a master at what he did, which was war.

I thought that they didn't do as much with the Kilrathi voices in WCP. It sounded like a guy with phlegm in his throat, as opposed to the true lion's growl quality in WC3-4.

Umm... All your links appear to be broken, Bob McDob.

Thrawn was the master. Sorta like Tolwyn, in a way.

Actually, it would be wise to have pure atmospheric fighters and pure space fighters, with a few aerospace ships for in-between. By their very nature, space/atmospheric hybrids are compromises, and so have quite a few weaknesses. They need too much fuel and extra mass in wings and such to get...

The F-22 is still in flight trials, and provided the politicians don't kill it, after it has already gotten nearly to operational status, it should be joining the active force in 2004 or so. As far as I know, it's on schedule.

Never said it was gospel truth, I just heard it somewhere.

I seem to remember something somewhere, possibly in Pheonix Station's timeline, that the Lex carried Angel's special ops squad, which was later captured when the Lex was destroyed.

Just in case that wasn't entirely facetious, Mandarins are an ethnic branch of Chinese.

Aside from your blatant disregard for others' beliefs, the so-called Star Gods would have at least had interstellar travel four thousand years ago, with all the extraneous tech that goes along with that. When you consider four thousand years of technological development after that, they would...

Besides, the question of which came first, the novels or the games, is easily answered. It is a simple matter of chronology: the games first started coming out in 1990, while the first novel didn't come out until 1992. End of argument. ;)
