Oppose

1. Two little things:
   • "Although Sarne wished the FarStar to locate him and call in a New Republic strike force, he wanted it to be on his own timetable, and at a place of his choosing." Why?
     • Added reasoning.
       • Could you put it in the intro?
         • Done. - Cavalier One^{(Squadron channel)} 07:39, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
   • You keep referring to the Lialic II as that after it's been renamed. Shouldn't it be Lance of Endor?
     • Basically because it is an alias, and it is only known as the Lance of Endor to the FarStar and those governments it contacts. To Sarne, it is still the Lialic II - Treidum was responsible for renaming the ship to accomplish the mission assigned to him, doing it off his own initiative. The Millennium Falcon has several aliases, but I would think that it would be solely refered to as the Falcon in Han's article. Also, I felt it would be more confusing to switch to another name for the ship in the article. However, if you feel it should be changed, then I'll oblige. - Cavalier One^{(Squadron channel)} 13:40, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

2. From the desk of Atarumaster88
   • "Posing as a New Republic vessel named the Lance of Endor, Treidum stirred up resentment for the New Republic and the FarStar by portraying the government as a totalitarian regime" I'm a little confused—I'm sure Treidum didn't pose as a New Republic vessel, but is he using the Lialic II to do so?
     • Yes. Although posing as a ship himself would be funnier. Addressed.
   • "Recognizing certain qualities in Sarne, Treidum was quick to ally himself with the ambitious young man" What kind of qualities?
     • None specified. Rewritten to eliminate the reference.
   • "Treidum's reconnaissance of the union indicated that the Kathol Republic's navy was enough to threaten the FarStar. " Which union?
     • The Kathol Republic, as stated in the previous sentence - I was using the word "union" as an alternative to Republic as it Republic had been used several times. I could use empire again, but that was used in the previous sentence. I was looking for variety.
       • Fair enough. Atarumaster88 ^{(Talk page)} 19:22, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
   • A bit more context on the trapezoid device, please.
     • No more available, I'm afraid. It's only refered to as a "strange trapezoid device which he could use to summon the Empire in case of emergency." - Cavalier One^{(Squadron channel)} 13:52, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
   • Have a Super Terrific Friendly Un-frustrating day. Atarumaster88 ^{(Talk page)} 03:42, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
