Talk:Shakvail: Beginnings/Chapter 1: Foundling

This will serve as the talk page for Chapter 1, where any readers/editors are encouraged to leave comments regarding the chapter. Some initial author's notes regarding the chapter follow.

1. Lantillies is a canon system, a shipping center on the Permlemian Trade Route in the Mid Rim.

2. Captain Lorthan is an original character, but the Sector Rangers are a canon law enforcement organization. Lorthan’s assault unit is analogous to a modern day SWAT team.

3. Z’meer Bothu is a canon character, appearing in the 4-part Clone Wars comic Star Wars: General Grievous in a small supporting role. As this is twenty-seven years earlier I had cast her as a young, recently minted Jedi Knight at this time.

4. It is not clear exactly when the Z-95 Headhunter came into production, but it seems within the boundaries of that venerable product line (and there are a surprisingly small number of pre-Clone Wars starfighters in the canon).

5. Shakvail, the Safol species, their homeworld, and their history with the New Sith Wars are all entirely my own invention (also the date is given in the revised chronology out of convenience, the BBY/ABY system not yet extant). There is certainly plenty of room in the relatively unplumbed period of the New Sith Wars to create such a reference, as existing material focuses heavily on the final century of that conflict.
