  • Is there enough information for a Sith Empire navy article?
    • Linked.
  • Context for Stygian Caldera
    • How much context is needed? I already say it was a region in space generally avoided by outsiders.
      • "Gloyd was originally a member of a crew of brigands, who stumbled across the Sith Empire while searching for treasure in the Stygian Caldera." I had no clue what it was at that point in the intro. :P Anyway, I'll leave it up to you. JangFett (Talk) 01:47, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
  • "ripping one of the injured Sith to shreds" Is there anyway to just say one of the Sith died during the attack? I normally avoid something like this, but it's up to you.
    • Changed.
  • "Not long after Gloyd's pitch to Korsin, gruesome news rolled into the tempe" Maybe you know better than me, but what's a tempe?
  • I'll continue soon. JangFett (Talk) 05:17, September 30, 2012 (UTC)

  • By 5,000 BBY, Gloyd was the gunnery officer on the[2] Sith dreadnaught[4] Omen, leading his own torpedo crew under a captain named Yaru Korsin, who was on his first command. Sharing a similar acidic wit, and an interest in their job uncommon among the other, more ambitious Sith, the two became close friends and worked together on the Omen for decades. - This makes it sound like the two worked together for decades from 5,000 BBY, not before. Considering the next sentence starts with "That year", I think this statement needs to be revised a little. - Cavalier OneFarStar(Squadron channel) 10:51, October 4, 2012 (UTC)

  • "in an attempt to mine valuable Lignan valuable to the Sith..." valuable valuable? Oy, glaven!
    • Fixed.
  • "As a result, the Korsins led a wholesale Red Sith Purge..." Isn't "Red Sith Purge" a conjectural non-capitalized term?
    • Fixed.
  • Does the novella indicate how Gloyd fights back against the Sith sabers at the end of "Last stand"'s second paragraph? With a weapon, unarmed ... ? And are they using lightsabers? I can't quite visualize the fight; wondering if you can give more details.
    • It doesn't really say. The only weapon he seems to use is the proton detonator. The narrative of the battle in Savior is from Yaru Korsin's point of view, and he and Gloyd are separated.
  • Can the info from the quote used in "Last Stand" --- that is, his lack of faith in Jariad --- make its way into the P&T? Menkooroo (talk) 03:29, October 20, 2012 (UTC)
    • I'm not sure that it reflects any real opinion Gloyd has toward Jariad. In context, it just seems like he's taunting him and trying to piss him off. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 23:18, October 22, 2012 (UTC)
