Nubian 221

Hey there. Early last month you moved the Nubian 221 article to 221 sublight engine. I was just wondering why. All the sources I've run into have called it the former. Was it in the FF or something? NaruHina Talk Anakinsolo 23:23, January 3, 2012 (UTC)

  • It is referred to as such in Star Wars Adventures 1: Hunt the Sun Runner and since we don't use the name of manufacturers in our article names, I moved the page. --Borsk Fey'lya ClanAlyaBothan Talk 09:24, January 4, 2012 (UTC)
    • OK. Thanks for telling me. NaruHina Talk Anakinsolo 12:36, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

Ychthytonian

Hi Borsk. I noticed you added a Fact Files source to the Ychthytonian article. Any chance you could quote me the mention? Cheers, --Eyrezer 08:21, January 10, 2012 (UTC)

  • Gambling addiction can seriously affect a being's sanity - Bômlas, an Ychytonian [sic] bartender on Skip One, bet and lost one of his four arms in a particularly frenzied sabacc game. --Borsk Fey'lya ClanAlyaBothan Talk 09:50, January 10, 2012 (UTC)
    • Thanks for that - no update needed! --Eyrezer

Move request

Hi Borsk, I would like to request that you use your administrative powers to delete Hakagram Graush, so that Unidentified Sith King c. 6,900 BBY can be moved to that name. Thanks in advance. --Jinzler 12:14, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that user:90.184.85.95 has been constantly putting fanon about some Karkarodon on numerous pages even after I have warned him to stop twice. Could you block him for a while? Thanks---501st DogmaRepublic emblem(Comlink) 15:15, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

Droids Omnibus

Hey there! Do you have a recent source for the date of the Dark Horse droids series? The omnibus dates it at 3 BBY, and as far as I can tell, it's the most recent date given. Menkooroo 16:42, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

  • Well, I have the Droids Omnibus right here before me and it dates the entire series at 5.5 BBY. Where did you find the other date in the Omnibus? --Borsk Fey'lya ClanAlyaBothan Talk 16:46, February 3, 2012 (UTC)
    • Hey. Sorry for taking so long to get back to you; I didn't have access to my comics until recently. I was getting my date from the timeline at the back of the omnibus, which says 3 BSW4. But I've since found the 5.5 BBY date which kicks off The Kalarba Adventures and is presumably the correct one. Good catch. Menkooroo 22:26, June 23, 2012 (UTC)

The Official Star Wars Fact File 59

Hi Borsk. I understand that the German version of The Official Star Wars Fact File 59 mentions Spore in the article on Jerec (DUN2-3). When you get a chance, would you mind checking if this mentions the bafforr trees at all? (Spore is a hybrid bafforr-vesuvague). Cheers, --Eyrezer 08:44, February 9, 2012 (UTC)

  • No, the bafforr trees aren't mentioned. Spore is only referred to as a "vicious creature", its species is never identified in the entry. --Borsk Fey'lya ClanAlyaBothan Talk 06:20, February 10, 2012 (UTC)
    • Thanks Borsk. --Eyrezer 08:56, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

Obitoki

Could you please let me know the context of Obitoki's mention in the Episode I Journal so I can update? Cheers. NaruHina Talk Anakinsolo 16:40, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

  • I believe Obitoki's appearance in the book canonizes his participation in the Boonta Eve Race, doesn't it?
Source: Star Wars Episode I Journal: Anakin Skywalker

p. 34: By the beginning of the third lap I was in third place behind Sebulba and Terter. Obitoki and Habba Kee were right behind me.

p. 35: Terter's vertical stabilizer had snagged the steelton line to my left engine, unhooking the main binding. Obitoki, Elan Mak, and Habba Kee slipped past while I whipped all over the sky, fighting to get my Podracer back under control.

p. 36: Ka-boom! Ahead, Obitoki disappeared in flames and smoke. Sebulba had flashed him with his side vents, the same move he'd used on me in our last race, only I'd managed to crash-land and walk away. Ka-boom! Blinded by the bright blast of Obitoki's racer, Habba Kee crashed. That left Sebulba and me.

--Borsk Fey'lya ClanAlyaBothan Talk 19:46, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

  • I don't think it would canonize that because it still would conflict with the movie, but there's definitely more for the BTS here. Thanks. NaruHina Talk Anakinsolo 22:42, February 12, 2012 (UTC)
  • Actually, I'm going to ask around a bit before I start. It's debateable. NaruHina Talk Anakinsolo 22:45, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

Dix

Hey Borsk. A while back you added FF 70 to the Dix Rivan article. Can I get whatever blurb there is in there about him? Toprawa and Ralltiir 21:48, March 22, 2012 (UTC)

  • The entry mentions him as a casualty of the failed rescue mission on Gall. "[...] and squadron pilot Dix Rivan gave his life over the cold moons of Gall." --Borsk Fey'lya ClanAlyaBothan Talk 15:28, March 28, 2012 (UTC)

Qka365

Could you please explain to me how to add User Boxes to my profile? thanx! —Unsigned comment by Qka365 (talk • contribs)

Thank you!! I've been trying to do that for a while, and I could figure out how!

I'm sorry to bother you again, but could you give me the link to the page with all the color's ID numbers? I was just on it yesterday, and i can't find it now.

Never mind, I found it.

Evram Lajaie

Hello Borsk, can I have the info related to Evram Lajaie from The Official Star Wars Fact File 67? Thanks in advance. Hanzo Hasashi 03:26, May 15, 2012 (UTC)

  • There's only this: "[With the combined Death Star plans] General Dodonna, Colonel Gospic, Commander Lajaie and others frantically searched for possibilities to destroy the battle station." --Borsk Fey'lya ClanAlyaBothan Talk 18:45, May 15, 2012 (UTC)

Can you make a Jedi archives question corner where you ask questions about the star wars universe please contact me today or it will be to late thank you (166.248.37.165 20:28, May 15, 2012 (UTC))

In-Universe "Official Star Wars Fact File"?

Hello, Borsk Fey'lya. I see you made that Official Star Wars Fact File index back in the time it was being published, so I guess you'll be able to answer my question. In the French edition of the Fact Files—which I own—there was an "opening crawl" at the back of the galaxy map, which hints at an in-universe Fact File. As I don't know if this also exists in the original, English language edition, I wanted to ask your opinion before creating a conjectural article on these "centralized archives". I hereby provide you with a translation of the said French opening crawl.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… Twenty-three years have gone by since the destruction of the second Death Star. The New Republic, after a brief period of unstable and uncertain peace, must now face the greatest threat in its history: the attack of the Yuuzhan Vong, a species of fierce extragalactic invaders.

In these difficult times, the preserving of the archives was of paramount importance. To this end, all existing files about the New Republic, all the Jedi Holocrons, all documents and plans relating to the Old Republic and the Galactic Empire have been collected in compiled into a centralized data pool.

Rediscover the complete, rich and extraordinary history of this galactic universe in… The Official Star Wars Fact File.

While the last sentence is clearly OOU, it seems pretty solid that there could be a "New Republic Centralized Archives" conjectural article. What say you? Best regards. --LelalMekha 10:30, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

  • I can't seem to find the Galaxy Map which was included in my (German language) edition of the Fact File and I'd like to have either that one or the original English language map checked before I comment on this. --Borsk Fey'lya ClanAlyaBothan Talk 17:28, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

Fact File 11

Does The Official Star Wars Fact File 11 mention Bolvan during his service on the Devastator, perhaps specifically his service during the events of ANH, when he was a Gunnery captain? I'm figuring out which of Bolvan's sources are also gunnery captain sources. Thanks. Hanzo Hasashi 04:28, June 25, 2012 (UTC)

  • Another question: I saw way back in 2007 you added Vader: The Ultimate Guide to Bolvan's sources. I'm assuming that includes his ANH appearance? If so, then that will be added to Gunnery captain's source list. Hanzo Hasashi 15:10, June 25, 2012 (UTC)
    • The Vader Guide mentions "Captain Bolvan" only in context with the bombardment of Falleen.
    • Fact File 11 is a (Picture only)-appearance featuring the full-screen version of this picture. Bolvan or his rank at that time are not identified. --Borsk Fey'lya ClanAlyaBothan Talk 17:08, June 26, 2012 (UTC)
      • Belated response: so if the image in FF 11 is a full version of that image, does it also include Hija? They were both nominated by the same person, and as Morrt listed that source for Bolvan but not Hija, I guess no. As always, thanks in advance. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 17:53, July 28, 2012 (UTC)
        • Hija is not seen, everything to the right of the laser cannon has been cropped out. --Borsk Fey'lya ClanAlyaBothan Talk 18:05, July 28, 2012 (UTC)

Dating question

Hey, Borsk. I just saw on the recent changes that you have the new Droids and Ewoks omnibus. Does it provide dates for the stories within? Is there an "approximately ____ years before the Battle of Yavin" preceding both the Droids and the Ewoks comics? They've never been dated before, and I'm curious as hell. :D Thanks. Menkooroo (talk) 19:35, June 29, 2012 (UTC)

  • First thing I checked, but nope, there are no dates for Droids or Ewoks. The comics are printed in exactly the same way as the A Long Time Ago Omnibusses: The classic comic cover followed by the story. This time there isn't even a timeline in the back. --Borsk Fey'lya ClanAlyaBothan Talk 19:49, June 29, 2012 (UTC)
    • Thanks for checking. I guess that some time between 19 and 15 BBY is our best bet, since Tig Fromm is still on the loose. I wonder why they would date the Dark Horse Droids comics but not these ones? Ah well. Menkooroo (talk) 19:58, June 29, 2012 (UTC)

Fact File 138

Hey Borsk, what information does The Official Star Wars Fact File 138 have on Tookarti? And is he mentioned in any other Fact Files? Thanks in advance for your response.—Jedi Kasra (comlink) 17:29, July 20, 2012 (UTC)

  • Fact File 138 doesn't have any info on Tookarti. Whoever added that source must have mixed it up with The Official Star Wars Fact File 116 FAL1-2, The Fall of Quinlan Vos, a two-page summary of Double Blind. It has the following to say about Tookarti:
    • A Chadra-Fan called Tookarti was working for Korto Vos and Count Dooku. Tookarti had been given the codes by Count Dooku, and it was Tookarti, Master Kolar revealed, who had sold Quinlan Vos to the Jedi Council. [...] Quinlan was furious that, after all the missions, all the secrets he had kept and the things he'd done for the Republic and the Council, they would take the word of Tookarti over his. [...] Aruk intervened [in the duel between Agen Kolar and Vos] and forced the Jedi Master to let Quinlan Vos go free. This was bad news for Tookarti - when Vos got back to base, he was not in a forgiving mood. Quinlan confronted and killed Tookarti.
    • Then there's an image of Tookarti's corpse with the following caption: After he had escaped Agen Kolar, Quinlan Vos returned to his base to settle accounts with Tookarti. The Chadra-Fan had betrayed him and was cut down with a single strike of the Jedi's lightsaber.
    • And that's all the Fact File has about Tookarti. --Borsk Fey'lya ClanAlyaBothan Talk 12:32, July 22, 2012 (UTC)

Dyer

Hey Borsk, I have a question regarding Dyer in Fact Files 11 and 34. For issue 11 -- (END9, The Battle of Endor) -- is there any mention of him? And in 34 -- (END6, Endor - Shield Generator) -- there's only a picture of him, correct? Thanks JangFett (Talk) 05:33, July 22, 2012 (UTC)

  • FF11, END9: [Jerjerrod] and Colonel Dyer worked closely together by planning the deployment of the ground forces. [...] Colonel Dyer's aide Lieutenant Grond (a Corellian and in his youth a pilot in swoop races) was tasked to organize the scout patrols.
  • FF34 only has a picture, that's correct. --Borsk Fey'lya ClanAlyaBothan Talk 13:25, July 22, 2012 (UTC)
    • Thanks man. :) I have another question, does it show where or when Dyer and Jerjerrod worked closely together? I am wondering since other sources state that they worked closely together to work on the bunker's defensive systems.JangFett (Talk) 15:25, August 2, 2012 (UTC)
      • The entry is about the Imperial personnel stationed on Endor and their roles during the battle. --Borsk Fey'lya ClanAlyaBothan Talk 14:15, August 3, 2012 (UTC)

Jorus C'Baoth in Fact File 86

Hell Borsk. Amongst other projects, I intent a rewrite of Jorus C'baoth. I was skimming through my French edition of the Official Fact File, and I stumbled upon this paragraph (hereby translated for you): "It is known that Jorus C'Baoth came from the city of Teithcass on the planet Bortras. He was born strong with the Force. His powers were quickly remarked by the Jedi Order, and he was sent to Coruscant in order to begin his learning. Everything went well for him at the Temple, and he became a Knight, and then a Master a few years later."

(« On sait désormais que Jorus C'Baoth venait de la ville de Teithcass de la planète Bortras. Il naquit avec un lien puissant à la Force. Ses pouvoirs furent vite identifiés par l'Ordre Jedi et on l'envoya sur Coruscant pour commencer son apprentissage. Tout se passa bien pour lui au Temple et il devint Chevalier, puis Maître quelques années plus tard. »)

I wanted to known if the original English edition of The Official Star Wars Fact File 86 actually says anything like that. Thanks in advance. Regards. --LelalMekha (talk) 12:55, July 22, 2012 (UTC)

  • Here's the paragraph from the English Fact File:
    • It is now known that Jorus C'Baoth startet life on the planet Bortras, in the city of Reithcass. He was born with a strong connection to the Force. His powers were recognized early on by the Jedi Order, and he was sent to Coruscant to join the Order and start his training. He did well at the Temple, becoming a Jedi Knight and then a Master some years later. --Borsk Fey'lya ClanAlyaBothan Talk 13:40, July 22, 2012 (UTC)
      • So it would seem the French version was accurate, only with a minor typo (Teithcass instead of Reithcass). Thanks a lot, Borsk. --LelalMekha (talk) 13:43, July 22, 2012 (UTC)

Hume Tarl

Apparently Tarl is mentioned in Fact File 30's section called Rebel Troops. Could you see what information pertains to Tarl? Thanks for your time, 501st dogma(talk) 18:02, July 24, 2012 (UTC)

  • Tarl is not mentioned anywhere in this entry as far as I can see. --Borsk Fey'lya ClanAlyaBothan Talk 16:11, July 25, 2012 (UTC)
    • Ok, thanks for looking. I guess I can take that off the sources list. 501st dogma(talk) 16:56, July 25, 2012 (UTC)

Dates

Hey, Borsk, I noticed you undoing my edits to the old Star Wars comics. Just wanted to let you know that I'm fine with it - I just realized that the sources don't actually say the entire war is in 39:4, so I was wrong to change those. It's more accurate to say that the war occurs in 39:3-39:4, as the earliest battles are confirmed to be in 39:3 and the Declaration of a New Republic occurs in 39:4. I was already intending to undo my edits in a half and hour or so, so thanks for the help and I understand why. Cade Calrayn GalacticRepublicEmblem-Traced-TORkit 21:54, July 29, 2012 (UTC)

User: Cade Calrayn

Hi Borsk, I'm new to the wiki community and I planned on finishing setting up my profile and talk page today. I've already made a few edits on a couple of pages, but user:Cade Calrayn reverted the page I merged. When I posted on his talk page to get input as to why he felt it should not be merged when a merge had already been suggested, he did not respond. Now, as an adult, I planned on following the rules and seeing if anyone voted on it over the next week. So I got my talk page set up and within a few minutes of me saving it, the same user who reverted the merge I made (Cade Calrayn), also reverted my talk page back to it's original state. Therefore, I spent 30 min to an hour for nothing. If he keeps this up, I'm going to have to leave this Wiki. I'm an avid Star Wars fan and I don't want to leave, but I expected there to be some maturity on this site. I hope that I'm not wrong. I believe users should want to work together to keep newcomers coming to the site, not driving them off.

(Darth Grimnok (talk) 20:38, August 10, 2012 (UTC))

  • The problem has been solved. I misunderstood his intentions, but he finally replied and explained everything. My apologies for raising any unnecessary flags. Happy editing!!

Skosef

Hey, could you check The Official Star Wars Fact File 135 BET5, Imperial Betrayal for info pertaining to Skosef? Thanks for your time, 501st dogma(talk) 23:57, August 22, 2012 (UTC)

  • Trachta chose one of his lackeys, General Skosef, to assassinate Bartam in his luxury apartment. The general managed to enter the apartment unnoticed and shot Bartam at point-blank range, killing him instantly. He was not so effective against Bartam's stormtrooper bodyguard, however, and was cut down in a hail of fire. All of this could not have worked out better for Trachta - his rival was dead and his assassin had also been disposed of. --Borsk Fey'lya ClanAlyaBothan Talk 04:59, August 23, 2012 (UTC)
    • Thanks! 501st dogma(talk) 12:14, August 23, 2012 (UTC)

Cassio

Hey Borsk, is there any information regarding Cassio Tagge in the "Death Star conference room" article in Fact File 60? I'm still looking to see if he's anywhere else in the Fact Files. :P Since he is a rather important figure for the Death Star. JangFett (Talk) 03:05, September 15, 2012 (UTC)

  • Any luck? JangFett (Talk) 19:01, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
    • He's not in there, neither mentioned nor pictured. --Borsk Fey'lya ClanAlyaBothan Talk 09:49, December 2, 2012 (UTC)

Lune Pictures

I was wondering where you found these Lune Divinian pictures. Currently, they're in Category:Uncategorized book covers, and they need to be marked with the language of the edition. NaruHina Talk Anakinsolo 22:30, September 27, 2012 (UTC)

Maladian

Hey. Would you mind checking The Official Star Wars Fact File 139 (WEE1-2, Weeding out the Sith) for any info regarding the Maladians? Also, if you happen to know any other fact files that regard Ronhar or Vidar Kim, would you mind checking them as well? Thanks ins advance for your time, 501st dogma(talk) 00:09, November 9, 2012 (UTC)

  • Sorry to continue bothering you, but is there anything? 501st dogma(talk) 21:25, November 30, 2012 (UTC)
    • Oh, I'm sorry! Don't know why, but I didn't notice your request. I'll look for any mention of the Maladians asap, but I can already tell you that the Kims are not mentioned on any other page. --Borsk Fey'lya ClanAlyaBothan Talk 10:22, December 1, 2012 (UTC)
    • Okay, I checked the Fact File, but found no mention of the Maladians. Only this on page WEE2: "Ever since his father, the Senator for Naboo, had been assassinated, Ronhar had been close to his successor, Senator Palpatine." --Borsk Fey'lya ClanAlyaBothan Talk 13:29, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

Feyn Gospic

Hello Borsk, in addition to the fact that Feyn Gospic and other commanders frantically looked for ways to destroy the Death Star (info you gave me in the past for Evram Lajaie), does The Official Star Wars Fact File 67 have any more info about him? Thanks in advance. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 02:14, November 27, 2012 (UTC)

  • No, there isn't any other information about him in the Fact File. --Borsk Fey'lya ClanAlyaBothan Talk 18:28, November 30, 2012 (UTC)

Ando (star) in "The Official Star Wars Fact File 19"

Hello Borsk! If you have access to it, could you please tell me whether the star of Ando system is featured (any mentions, images, etc.) in The Official Star Wars Fact File 19, in the section about the Mid Rim? Thanks! Imperators II(Talk) 18:08, November 30, 2012 (UTC)

  • No mention or image of either the star or the system, only of Ando itself. --Borsk Fey'lya ClanAlyaBothan Talk 18:33, November 30, 2012 (UTC)

Needa's first officer

Hello Borsk, do The Official Star Wars Fact File 4 HOT4, Battle of Hoth or The Official Star Wars Fact File 70 PIE5, Firmus Piett either mention or picture this guy, Captain Needa's first officer during the Hoth campaign? Thanks in advance. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 19:27, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
