Notes: Liberty would have originally been a civilian ship, and was retrofitted for millitary. It had an array of nine engines, divided into three different sizes, located at the stern. A large wing-shaped superstructure was affixed to the main hull on either side, containing weapons pods and tractor beam arrays. It also wouldn't have been designed with other species in mind, although retrofitted as much as possible. All Mon Calamari cruisers were handcrafted, ensuring that each vessel was different. The ships had a distinct organic look that directly contradicted the stark, harsh factory lines that signified the Imperial starships. Each vessel had a unique, seemingly random assortment of lumps and bumps dotting its surface. These were in fact highly modular capsules that could be retrofitted to house crew's quarters, maintenance facilities and, in time of conflict, shield generators, turbolasers, and ion cannons (Mon Calamari Star Cruiser). Mon Calamari ships gave Rebel technicians a headache.

As soldiers, the Mon Calamari were known to fight with a resolve that rivaled the Wookiees. As pilots the Mon Calamari would control their ships like a artist would control a paintbrush. Their most notable role in the Rebellion were the officer and tactical positions that the Rebels desperately needed to fill. - Mon Calamari

Heya guys!

As you may or may not have noticed, Esfir (now functionally alive, if not EXACTLY - I THINK to anyone with the Force she'd register as alive, if slightly odd, but *eyes wookiepedia* I'm not 100% sure about that) is presently in SW!verse, pre-Battle of Endor. With twostandingby-mun's permission, she's in Green Squadron, which is stationed aboard the Liberty (which...gets itself blown up, but that's beside the point for now), and she'll be flying in the space-part of the Battle of Endor.

Allison's still working on sorting out the OOMs and possible threads for Endor-shaped fun, but I thought I'd ask this now:

At the moment, my plan is for Esfir to stay in the Star Wars!verse. It suits her perfectly well (damn good pilot, cosmonaut, sci-fi geek) and it's something for her to DO (and she is the kind of character where she needs something to do, else she goes quiet). IF you guys are okay with her staying, she'd be running roughly along the same timeframe as Han, and would just be another pilot. And if during the course of playing with her, I wanted to put her somewhere where there would be interaction with in-bar canon characters, I would naturally ask before doing so as I really, really, really do not want to step on any toes.

For example, if we ever got up to that bit in time and I thought it'd be interesting for her to be in Polearm Squardon, I'd track down the muns of the characters from the squadrons Rogue and Wraith (as well as Allison for Han), and ask if it'd be alright, as Polearm is stationed on the same ship as them and presumably they interact - I am reading the X-Wing books, but it's slow going until after next Friday, which is my final exam for the year.

HOWEVEVER, before I can do that,

Are you guys okay with Esfir moving into SW!verse?

Fehu is cattle
or money or wealth.
Uruz is aurochs
of strength and of health.
Thurisaz prickly:
a thorn or a thurs.
Ansuz is Odin,
a mouth or a verse.

Raido is riding,
so tiring and long.
Kenaz a torch
bruning brightly and strong.
Gebo a gift;
an exchange; an award.
Wunjo is joy,
sweet contentment's reward.
------------------------------------
Hagalaz--hail
both harmful and good.
Nauthiz, our need,
helps us learn what we should.
Isa, ice deadly;
a danger unknown.
Yera, the year;
we will reap what we've sown.
Eihwaz the yew
reaches into the skies.
Algiz the elk-sedge
is foeman's demise.
Pertho the dice-cup
is wyrd, luck, or fate.
Sowilo the sun
circles ever so great.
----------------------------
Teiwaz is Tyr
bringing justice and right.
Berkana the birch
is fertility's might.
Ehwaz the horse
is your partner and friend.
Mannaz is people
with lives that will end.

Laguz the lake
is both treacherous and deep.
Inguz is Frey
whose abundance we reap.
Othala, sweet home,
is our ancestral right.
Dagaz, the daybreak,
turns darkness to light.
