Imperial forces size

After playing this mission, as well as seeing gameplay beforehand, there are at least 5 more Imperial space stations similar to the Fondor Shipyard in the background during the battle, and at least 1 is seen in the cutscene before the mission. Should we include this information?--Vitus Infinitus (talk) 19:25, November 15, 2017 (UTC)

• Only if they take part in the battle/are a part of the battle --Lewisr (talk) 19:26, November 15, 2017 (UTC)
  • Sounds reasonable--Vitus Infinitus (talk) 19:30, November 15, 2017 (UTC)

Rebel Casualties

I updated the infobox to provide more information, including specifying the rebel losses instead of the blatantly false "All forces" claim. However, this was reverted for some reason. Why? ---Jogarz (talk) 01:08, November 18, 2017 (UTC)

• Since the entire rebel force was destroyed, it's just better to say "All forces" under casualties--Vitus Infinitus (talk) 01:23, November 18, 2017 (UTC)
  • I don't think the entire Rebel force was destroyed. We never see that in-game; hell, we don't even see the Mon Calamari cruiser explode, we just see it take several rough hits. I think saying that the entire Rebel force was destroyed is jumping the gun.--Jogarz (talk) 01:28, November 18, 2017 (UTC)
    • That's true, we just see the Mon Calamari cruiser getting some hits hinting that it was destroyed, but we don't see the explosion of it. Also we don't know if fighters escaped.--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 01:38, November 18, 2017 (UTC)
      • I just asked Pablo Hidalgo on twitter, hopefully he responds. In the meantime I think it's best to ask the user who originally edited that info in, I'm beginning to agree with you guys, though I do think the MC80 was destroyed.--Vitus Infinitus (talk) 01:41, November 18, 2017 (UTC)
        • That wasn't necessary just stick to what you see. We can't rely on asking this kind of questions on twitter always. And I also think it was destroyed, but not sure what others think--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 01:48, November 18, 2017 (UTC)
          • We just have to stick to what we see and hear in game, and we never see the ship actually blow or hear that all of the Rebel force was destroyed. If people want to assume that, fine, but we have to stick to facts.--Jogarz (talk) 07:04, November 18, 2017 (UTC)
          • I removed the MC80 cruiser from the casualties section as being damaged isn't really a casualty and we don't outright see it destroyed. Whilst it likely was destroyed, it could've escaped in the nick of time --Lewisr (talk) 13:43, November 18, 2017 (UTC)
            • Although true we don't see it fully explode, I don't think it has to completely explode to be destroyed as is the case with many ships across many mediums. For example, the Torment also in BF2. It seems to have taken some big hits and we don't see it explode, but we know it was destroyed thanks to the Star Wars: Shattered Empire comics (I think). I think the intentions were to have the MC80 destroyed, and we see it heavily listing after it was hit.--Vitus Infinitus (talk) 17:12, November 18, 2017 (UTC)
              • Let's stick with what we saw in the game rather than guessing at what intentions are, we saw the ship take some hits and that's it, we didn't see it get destroyed and we didn't see it not get destroyed then. We should just leave its ultimate fate unknown until new information comes out that says one way or the other --Lewisr (talk) 17:30, November 18, 2017 (UTC)

Move

Any chance we can move the Battle of Fondor page to Battle of Fondor (Yuuzhan Vong War) and make this the main Battle of Fondor page?Jkirk8907 (talk) 04:53, November 19, 2017 (UTC)

• Battle of Fondor has an official name, whereas Battle of Fondor (Galactic Civil War) is conjecture. Official names receive preference over conjectural names, even if the official name is a Legends article and the conjectural name is a canon article. - Brandon Rhea^(talk) 05:00, November 19, 2017 (UTC)
