• The into links to Botajef twice.
• From the Description section: "...a Starfighter Commander who had trained them prior." Prior to what? Fan26 (Talk) 04:34, May 4, 2020 (UTC)
  • Addressed, decided to move the training info the the History. UberSoldat93 (talk) 07:24, May 4, 2020 (UTC)

Tommy

• Can the fact that the Chimaera was an ISD I be sourced to the novel?
  • I initially used the Rebels Visual Guide but took it out since that source predates the Chimaera's introduction in canon. Now I'm unsure of what source to use here. UberSoldat93 (talk) 13:05, May 14, 2020 (UTC)
    • Anything that visually depicts the Chimaera will do fine, eg any Rebels episode it appears in. Just something that we can see its tractor beam targeting array in, as that's the most notable trait of the ISD I.
      • I decided to use the comic. UberSoldat93 (talk) 13:19, May 14, 2020 (UTC)
• I'd like to see the Star Wars: Thrawn (novel series) mentioned in the BTS.
  • Added. UberSoldat93 (talk) 13:05, May 14, 2020 (UTC)
• Please use underscores in file links, not spaces.
  • Fixed. UberSoldat93 (talk) 13:05, May 14, 2020 (UTC)
• Other space unit noms (eg One Oh Third Task Force) use the layout Description, History, and Commanders and crew (the same as individual ship LG). I think it would be a good idea to make a Commanders and crew section in this article to discuss the pilots and their training, while keeping the Description's first sentence in that section (although splitting that one may be a good idea).
  • Done. UberSoldat93 (talk) 13:05, May 14, 2020 (UTC)
• "six TIE fighters that were assigned to […the] Chimaera" / "At some point, Special Unit One was docked aboard the Chimaera." These two sentences carry very different connotations of Special Unit One's relationship to the Chimaera. Were they assigned to it or just happened to be docked aboard it?
  • Elaborated on this. UberSoldat93 (talk) 13:05, May 14, 2020 (UTC)
• Do you think linking to Imperial Special Forces is warranted? I'd say the category suggests Special Unit One is in that group.
  • I don't think so. Their only battle doesn't seem like something that would fall under "special operations," so I've removed the category. UberSoldat93 (talk) 13:05, May 14, 2020 (UTC)
• Not an objection of course, but with your good work on your audio files mini project lately, some in this article would be nice. Tommy-Macaroni 12:43, May 14, 2020 (UTC)
• Some reviewing notes:
  • I've changed the commander in the infobox to Yve, based on wording in the intro and the Commanders and Crew section.
  • I've changed "governor" to be lowercase when alone, in accordance with the novel. Tommy-Macaroni 13:47, May 14, 2020 (UTC)

• Since it's described as special forces, then it may be appropriate to add Imperial Special Forces in the infobox and article as well as Category:Imperial Special Forces units.--Vitus Infinitus^Talk 22:46, May 14, 2020 (UTC)
  • As with Tommy's objection, we shouldn't extrapolate in this regard. Having "special" in the name doesn't really imply "Imperial Special Forces," unless they are described as taking part in "special operations." The only battle Special Unit One is featured is the complete opposite of such an operation in my opinion. UberSoldat93 (talk) 09:18, May 15, 2020 (UTC)
    • Sounds good to me--Vitus Infinitus^Talk 13:59, May 15, 2020 (UTC)
