Ssi Ruuk Questions

I've read truce at bakura, a pretty good book (not the best).<P>I've looked up the Ssi-Ruuuk at <A HREF="http://www.starwars.com" TARGET=_blank>www.starwars.com</A> and it says the New Republic sends ships to the Ssi-Ruuk star cluster AFTER the events in truce at bakura! Which book or comic does this occur in?<P>Also, who do you think will win out of these two: Ssi Ruuk vs. Yuuzhan Vong? :D I really can't decide. Each side as advantages over the other, but each of those advantages is cancelled out by some other advantage the other side has! (confused yet? :p )

Ssi-Ruuk against the Yuuzhan Vong, well the Ssi-Ruuk have the same basis of technology as New Republic has. Not "similar" but just pointing out that they don't use organic this and that for everything they use. Yuuzhan Vong are merciless killers and have already taken over Coruscant, so it's easy enough to decide who would win.<p>[ 04 June 2002: Message edited by: General Taskeen ]

I'm waiting for the Vong to encounter the Qella, I mean how long is it gonna take the Vagabond to thaw the planet so it can get repairs?

They said it would take the Vagabond 100years to thaw out the planet. And the Vong would beat the hell out of the Ssi-Ruuk. Except for the fact that the Ssi-Ruuk aren't as corrupt as the New Republic so that might be and advantage. But the Vong all the way.

Oh cool, thanxs :) If they have such a big fleet, why has it taken them so long to launch it to help the New Republic? Bastards... lol

Awwww no. I killed the chiss barkeep on JK2, I guess kyle katarn can expect a huge fleet full of blue people with red eyes to attack him while he's on the beaches of spira with jan, talk about a short vacation.<BR> :(<p>[ 06 June 2002: Message edited by: Sata ]

oi! legend43! Wrong forum! LOL.<P>I thought the chiss were all for the imperial remnant, so they are reluctant to help the new republic, except for Jag Fel, whos uncle is Wedge Antilles?

It says at the start of Rebel Stand that Jag is human, and Shawnkyr is Chiss but both are from Chiss.<P>I finished reading Rebel Stand 2 yesterday. I thought it was a great book...until the last few chapters :(
