   • Given the significant Imperial presence, the Rebels brought in reinforcements, with two RZ-1 A-wing starfighters from Gold Squadron arriving several minutes into the engagement and the MC80 Star Cruiser Maria and the EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate Whitehawk arriving thirteen minutes after that and launching additional starfighters. Three ands is too much. Break the sentence up. SoresuMakashi^{(Everything I tell you is the truth)} 01:34, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

2. Toprawa:
   • Both the intro and biography say the Leafar began threatening the Empire. Can we explain in more detail how, specifically? I'm guessing the accompanying quote is all there is to it.
     • Yep, that's all there is.
   • I'm confused on a few points concerning these two sentences in the BTS that I would request be clarified: "Consequently, while it is in theory possible for a player to complete the mission prior to the arrival of the Maria and Whitehawk, canonically they did not. There is no canonical number of Leafar starships that survived, but there is a minimum set out for the mission to be successful."
     • First, you refer previously that there are two missions involving the Leafar, but this sentence refers only to completing "the mission." Are these two missions intertwined into one central Leafar mission, or can we otherwise clarify what specific mission this is?
       • Two missions connected with the Leafar, but they are only involved in one. I've changed the wording of the BTS.
     • Secondly, the description "canonically they did not" is confusing me. Who is "they"? The two starships? The Rebels? Can we clarify?
       • Done
     • Lastly, "there is a minimum set out for the mission to be successful." Please state whatever minimum number this is. Toprawa and Ralltiir 01:40, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
       • I've got this in the actual history section with the line "at least three corvettes, two freighters, and four shuttles were able to escape the ambush". Do you feel it also needs to be in the BTS? --Eyrezer 05:23, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
         • For ease of reference, I think it would be best. I've gone ahead and just added this is in, if that's ok. Toprawa and Ralltiir 20:27, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

• Can we get an infobox? ~ SavageBob 22:40, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
  • Unfortunately, the only field that would have an entry is the name. I don't know that there is any hard and fast rule about it, but I think infoboxes are generally frowned upon if only very few fields are active. --Eyrezer 23:10, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
    • OK. I'll try to check out the rest of the article soon. ~ SavageBob 23:37, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
• Sorry, next question: How do we know these guys are a species and not an organization (like Black Sun) or a planet's people (like Corellians or Alderaanians)? ~ SavageBob 23:51, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
  • Alas, it appears these guys suffer from a condition known as Karakanitis. I see from your work it is also prevalent among the letter V. While it is pretty implicit they are a species, I've downgraded them to something more generic in the mean time. --Eyrezer 06:55, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
