− | The proposed ''Senate''-class represents a swing away from the gunship back to the carrier role. Closer in scale to a ''Victory'' or ''Venator'', the ''Senate'' design is meant to combine a hefty complement of 144 starfighters, firepower comparable to a ''Victory II'', and powerful shields using technologies pioneered by the Mon Calamari. In compensation, it has a reduced capacity for troops and cargo, though it can reconfigure one for the other with a little advance notice (at a rate of 10 cargo to 1 humanoid passenger, and vice versa). Only the flag apartments (comfortable accommodations for up to 50 people, meant for admirals, senators, or other dignitaries—and their staffs) cannot be readily converted into meaningful cargo space. | + | The proposed ''Senate''-class represents a swing away from the gunship back to the carrier role.

A further development and refinement of Koensayr's BTS-A2 design, the Q2 corrects for many of its immediate predecessor's shortcomings while retaining many of its strengths. With its oversized engines, more stable handling characteristics, and components shared with the older Y-wing, the Q2 H-wing is faster, more maneuverable, and easier to maintain than its main competitor, the B-wing, although its firepower remains more vulnerable to supply disruptions. | A further development and refinement of Koensayr's BTS-A2 design, the Q2 corrects for many of its immediate predecessor's shortcomings while retaining many of its strengths.

− | Although | + | Although uncomfortable in his sister's court and with the noble title he's been obligated to accept, Luke is making the best of it by focusing on practical problems: keeping Leia alive, and passing along the teachings of the Force. With the most impulsive of the Emperor's acolytes having spent themselves in the past year and a half and the creation of a new Royal Guard, he has now turned the bulk of his attention to the latter task, and begun establishing the Order Inquisitive. So far, most of his time is taken up with research, poring over records retrieved from his father's and the Emperor's private facilities by various field teams. |
