Raiding missions on Imperial supply ships

Nomination comments: Time for me to take a shot at nominating again. Inspired by Brandon's noms. As I said to him, I was reminded of the Ghost Raid tie-in game when I saw them. Sorry for derailing them a bit with these new findings—and happy eleven years, Rebels!

Objections

~~Copyedit here, did some sentence smoothing so feel free to re-format or tweak things~~

The way the intro is structured, do each of the Spectres need context? Or is the way you did it sufficient? Not sure to be honest.

In a similar vein, but for the Prelude, I think Hera will need some context. Everyone else is listed as Spectres but Hera is kind of floating right now.

The Ryloth sentence in the Raiders section is quite long. I feel like the entire Syndulla family backstory isn't necessarily crucial for this page, so I would advocate for splitting that sentence up and pairing down the Ryloth rebel history stuff.

~~I feel like the bts should be split into two paragraphs~~ Wok142 (talk) 19:28, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for the copy-edit! Yeah, I feel like the sentences have made clear that each rebel is a member of the Spectres and giving their species wouldn't actually help the reader. The word "piloted" for Hera already specifies that she is a pilot, and I feel like "the other Spectres" in the Prelude makes it clear to first-time readers that Hera is also among them. Fair points about the Ryloth context and BTS though. OOM 224 11:38, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
  - The Ryloth sentence still is a little lengthy for me. If you prefer to leave the Cham context in, I'd make that bit it's own sentence. Or the entire bit about it being Hera's homeworld + the family stuff. That stuff feels like extracurricular detail to the main point pertaining to the article, which would be "they attacked the Empire on Ryloth." Wok142 (talk) 07:54, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
    - Hmm, okay. How about this, making the insurgency thing part of the context for Ryloth? OOM 224 09:03, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
      - That works, thanks! Wok142 (talk) 17:37, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

~~Would it be better to put it down as a rebel victory instead of it being a defeat for the Empire, since the Spectres are the ones who carried out the raids?~~ Lewisr (talk) 17:52, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
~~I believe that we don't add the daggers to general classes of things, only individuals/individual ships~~ Lewisr (talk) 17:52, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- Changed outcome field. The daggers refer to the individual Imperial ships as a collective whole though, not vehicle classes. OOM 224 08:12, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
  - It's still a misuse of the dagger per multiple precedent. Looking at some recent ones like Uprising on Jakku, Attack on a Lothal airfield, Attack on the Ghost, Assault on an Imperial outpost, where the dagger isn't used in the cases its being used here. While Operation Ringbreaker is an example of where it's only used on individual things Lewisr (talk) 18:15, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
    - Very well. The field below lists casualties as all forces anyway, so I'm good with that. OOM 224 22:34, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

Comments

FYI: I added Category:Images of the early rebellion against the Galactic Empire to Category:Images of raiding missions on Imperial supply ships, as a follow up from your objection on the Ghost attack GAN. - Brandon Rhea^(talk)(he/him/his) 23:14, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
- Oh that's brilliant, thank you! OOM 224 23:59, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
