  Stan Konings - Unknown rebel
At least seven retired generals had written to the People's Daily opposing the imposition of martial law, and many of the soldiers sent to put down the demonstrators were surely as young, as confused and as uncommitted to aggression as many of the students were.
As one of the pro-democracy movement's leaders said, the heroes of the tank picture are two: the unknown figure who risked his life by standing in front of the juggernaut and the driver who rose to the moral challenge by refusing to mow down his compatriot.
But nowadays, in the video archives of the memory, playing in eternal rerun, are many new faces, unknown, that remind us how much history is made at the service entrance by people lopped out of the official photographs or working in obscurity to fashion our latest instruments and cures.

22 of the vessels with the Rebel fleet belonged to the Virgillian Alignment.
I think this has shattered the idea that the Rebels had “wings” of fighters at the battle, given that out of the five groups, that would be an average of about 230 fighters per group, or a little over three six-squadron wings.
The Empire kept a “battle line” to prevent the Rebels from escaping, but other than the fact that it contained Interdictors (probably 418s or 418As), nothing is known for sure, other than that the Rebels would surely sustain casualties to fight through it.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - A previously unknown Chechen rebel group said in a statement published Monday it conducted a bombing on the Moscow metro last month that killed at least 40 people.

"If this statement proves to be true, and if a new previously unknown group stands behind the acts on the Moscow Metro, then the war between Russia and Chechnya has entered a qualitatively new phase when an absolutely autonomous group bent on revenge appears on the scene," said the comment.

MOSCOW – An Islamic fundamentalist judge emerged Thursday as the likely successor to Chechen rebel commander Aslan Maskhadov, raising the prospect of the separatist conflict turning decisively into a religious war more than a decade after it first erupted.
In the complex web of Chechen politics, there was significance in Sadulayev's credential as a judge of the Chechen rebels' Shariat committee – an extension of the Islamic court established under Maskhadov when he was Chechnya's elected president in the 1990s, and a link with the Chechen state that he had sought to build.
Lines of authority are vague among Chechnya's rebels, estimated to total at least 1,500.
