Topic: Colonies (Star Wars)


  
  Human (Star Wars) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Star Wars humans are mostly biologically identical to real-life humans.
In the Star Wars mythology, the human homeworld, according to the New Essential Chronology, is generally believed to be Coruscant.
Star Wars humans live on many different worlds throughout the galaxy, with many populations living alongside extraterrestrials on other worlds, or together with several other species—something which is most common either on the cosmopolitian worlds at the core, or on the frontier at the Outer Rim of the galaxy, such as on Tatooine.

 Star Wars galaxy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The fictional galaxy where the setting of the Star Wars saga occurs is known simply as the Star Wars galaxy while in the canon it is referred as the Galaxy or the Known Galaxy.
The Colonies include Commenor, Cato Neimoidia, and Bilbringi, as well as numerous other worlds which have served as stage for the great Galactic Civil War in the fight between the Empire and the Rebel Alliance.
The Colonies were some of the first planets settled outside the Core Worlds by the Republic, especially the region known as "The Slice", defined by the edges of the Perlemian Trade Route and the Corellian Run.

Star Wars, alson known as The Holy Trilogy, is an orgasmic trilogy of 35+ movies that CEO George Lucas wrote in an attempt to exploit his deep-seated pedophilic/sexual urges.
Star Wars was invented by fundamentalist Christians as a method of birth control in Ireland because they understood that Star Wars fans would never get laid.
Star Wars: Revenge Of Jewbacca was one of the movies which George Lucas did not allow to be publish due to it's unique outlook on kitten huffing, it involved Jewbacca and Fluke Crywhiner getting into a fight over the final chicken strip in a chicken strip basket from the Empire of Dairy Queen.

 STAR WARS: The Galaxy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Stars that are old enough to support planets with complex evolved forms of life are evenly spread in longitudinally, and their orbits about the galactic centre regularly take them into and out of the spiral arms.
The distances between habitable star systems are shorter than in outer regions of the disk, but the skies of civilised worlds are all the more crowded because of the density of (mostly barren) bulge stars.
Native civilisations and colonies may be distributed nearly evenly among the stars of the galactic disk, but the concentration of useful natural resources may have both a radial dependence and a correlation with the spiral structure.

Heres some star wars character info Luke was a farmboy together with his uncle and aunt at the arid desert planet of Tatooine until he and his uncle Owen bought a pair of droids from jawa merchants.
Though the Death Star showed its relentless power by destroying the planet Alderaan, Rebel agents were able to discover a weakness to exploit when they stole the technical readouts for the battle station.
The original Death Star was the culmination of the Tarkin Doctrine, a plan and course of action proposed by Grand Moff Tarkin to the Emperor.

 I Viddied It On the Screen-The Star Wars Holiday Special
Some twenty five years later, we see that it indicts the ironics and Star Wars apologists in very much the same way: it is so unbelievably shitty that it dares us to throw our arms up in the air and cry "uncle".
If we were to divorce the animated sequence from "Star Wars" and perhaps even more importantly "The Star Wars Holiday Special" and take it on it's own terms, we would be more than likely to forget it as soon as we finished watching it.
This is the antithesis to that great scene in “Star Wars” where Chewbacca resists the shackles that Luke tries to put on him when trying to come up with a ruse to fool the Imperialists; a casual very delicate play on the pseudo-Blackness of the Wookie race.

 The Star Wars Galaxy
In contrast with the Star Trek Galaxy, the Star Wars Galaxy has had numerous official attempts to be mapped, primarily for the benefit of the West End Games roleplaying game that, until recently, was regarded as the backbone of the Star Wars Expanded Universe.
Yet Wizards of the Coast's 2-page galactic map of the Star Wars Galaxy has the two planets marked in two distinctly separate systems - which was not done likewise for the Hoth and Anoat systems (thus implying that the relative distance was not distorted for purposes of clarity).
Note: Perhaps the Milky Way Galaxy of Star Trek is the very same one as the one in E.T., with the events of SW4 overlapping (via the wormhole) the year 2277 AD, eight years after the end of Kirk's first five-year mission on the Starship Enterprise (just as in RL).

Every review of a Star Wars game starts with a recap of where the particular genre of the particular game has been before.
Star Wars strategy games, however, have less of an endearing legacy - Galactic Battlegrounds and Force Commander both utterly failing to set the world alight.
You start as one of the two Star Wars factions, the Rebellion or the Empire, and are given a couple of planets - out of a galaxy of 20 or so - as your starting worlds.

 Star Wars: Hyperdrive Tactics and Strategies
However, if we were to send a single warship to each colony, declare Imperial hegemony, and punish the colonists if they resist, the Federation star fleet would be unwilling to ignore their pleas for assistance.
Once their fleet is sufficiently dispersed throughout their territory en route to their various colonies and outposts, we would destroy the subspace relay network so that the ships have no way of contacting HQ for situational updates, and no way of finding out what is happening in the more populated regions of the Federation.
Wars are not fought over starships, nor are they fought over meaningless regions of interstellar space.

Another Star Wars species heavily influenced by the insect world, and in this case resemble Polemistus wasps the most, are the Geonosians.
According to the book The Art of Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones, "As sentient beings of the Star Wars universe, culture and clothes were key to the [Geonosian] species design, with costume concepts ranging from tribal gowns and diaphanous dress to armor and heavy fabrics.
In the Star Wars galaxy there are two kinds of Geonosians who live in the busy hive -- wingless drones who do most of the work and winged aristocrats and royal warriors who maintain safety.

 STAR WARS: Astrophysical Concerns   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
A hundred billion star systems is typical of a galaxy of this size, and the total number of stars would be somewhat larger since a majority of stars are in binary or multiple systems.
Therefore the Death Star is not revolutionary so much for the power it expends as for the fact that such a wealth of energy is concentrated and devoted to a single weapons system, rather than the sustenance of the hyperdrives of a starfleet or the industries and domestic appliances of numerous inhabited worlds.
A star which is massive enough to go supernova has a very short lifespan, less than a few million years, so there is insufficient time for the development of indigenous life on any planets in the doomed system.

With colonies unrestricted by the conservative Earth government, the factions grow into bigger planet-spanning states -- their produced technology has finally caught up with the theoretical.

 Colonies - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
The Colonies was the name given to a region of the Galaxy between the Core Worlds and the Inner Rim.
Most worlds in the Colonies section of "the Slice" were colonized by 24,000 BBY.
During Emperor Palpatine's reign, the Galactic Empire was very forceful in controlling the Colonies, and as a result the New Republic gained support quickly there.

In Star Wars most cells travel horizontally and vertically at light speed in all sorts of Hauler-like formations.
It's fun to watch how they build the colonies - the internal parts get stable, and many single cells are running around and building slowly outer parts (what resembles termites building or guarding mounds).
