Object

  1. There's more info to be added from the Ep III novel. In the bio, talk about his communication with Yoda during the Invisible Hands descent. In the P&T, talk about his reaction to the Battle of Coruscant and his feelings on Palpatine, Skywalker, Kenobi, and the Republic.

  2. Farlstendoiro opposing
    • Bio/Republic Navy Service: The first paragraph does not specify whether Needa fired against Grievous's ship when he did not surrender. Later, I see Grievous's ship had been damaged by "Republic fire", but I still doubt whether Needa attacked, relented or was bluffing all the time. If that point is know, I think it should be specified.
      • The ROTS novel doesn't mention if Needa's Integrity fired upon the Hand at all.
    • Bio/Republic Navy Service: Last paragraph. Was Needa present during Palpatine's speech or not? I think the text wants me to assume he was, but I'm still not sure.
      • As it was a meeting of all Republic Navy officers, it is assumed that he was there. Regardless, the info is necessary to his bio.
    • Bio/Failure and death: that the "cave" it had hidden in. The inverted commas do not sound too encyclopedic to me. Suggestion: that the alleged/assumed/presumed/supposed cave it had hidden in.
      • Done.
    • P&T: Following the Rebellion Era Sourcebook, Needa can speak Ryl. Needa also studied specialized courses about the Empire or something ("Knowledge: The New Order" 5; not too high as a lieutenant Dragen has a 6), and he had an important level of specialized knowledge about the Imperial Navy ("Knowledge: Imperial Navy" 6; equaled only by Piett and surpased only by moff Harsh in Gamer #6, that I know). I feel those skills should be mentioned. His other RPG stats are not notable enough to be mentioned, IMHO (Astrogate 6 is not very high for a Navy captain).
      • Though I hate those statistics, done.
    • That's all. You're in command now, Grand Moff Tranner. --Skippy Farlstendoiro 09:06, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
  3. One minor thing: The bit about Virar seems a bit too concrete. It's not that Pedetsen believed that Lorth was a Rebel sympathizer, but that he was inventing a possible course of action for his commanding officer. -- Darth Culator (Talk) 02:40, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
  4. Marinara: A few cases I see of mixed tense. (Check the instances of "would.") It is better to avoid the conditional tenses altogether unless talking about in-universe speculation. — Fiolli {Alpheridies University ComNet} 16:09, September 4, 2009 (UTC)
    • I removed some instances, but the remaining cases of "would" are necessary. Grand Moff Tranner Imperial Department of Military Research (Comlink) 22:21, September 4, 2009 (UTC)

  • Note: On the advice of Toprawa, I'm going to get a few more images. Grand Moff Tranner Imperial Department of Military Research (Comlink) 22:46, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
  • You've got a faulty ref there at the moment. --Eyrezer 05:35, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
