Duel on the Star Forge
From the talk page for this particular article:


 * The duel, in gameplay is treated as a part of the broader battle and not merely a separate incident that just happened to take place.  Master Aban Fiolli  {Alpheridies University ComNet} 06:19, 22 May 2008 (UTC)


 * If we separate the duel on the star forge for the battle page then, I think we should do the same thing for the Duel on The Ravager, and separate it from the battle of Telos IV, along with Exile vs. Sion, and Exile vs. Traya. In a way Duel on the ravager is just as defining as the Duel on the Star Forge. Because if the ravager survives, then Nihilus would have Destroyed Citadel station, and all that work on Telos would have been nothing but a big Financial waste for the republic.User:Revanthereformer1138
 * There isn't as much material that can be used for the Duel on the Ravager, however. There's just a few lines the beginning, then the fight which can't really be described, and Visas taking off Nihilus' mask.  Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 19:47, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

And finally my own thoughts, in response to Jaymach:


 * This information is mostly already contained within our article about the Battle of Rakata Prime. It would be very much appreciated if you would consider merging the information in here with the larger article.-- Goodwood [[Image:Redstarbird.svg|20px]] ( Alliance Intelligence ) 01:07, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Only if you merge Duel on the Anakin Solo into Battle of Kashyyyk and Duel on Death Star II into Battle of Endor too. &mdash;Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 01:09, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Like what Fiolli says below, in gameplay this duel is treated as part of the broader Battle of Rakata Prime (which I had GAed with plans for an eventual FA; the FA version of the article would have had more about the duel than what is there now). While the Duel on the Anakin Solo can be considered a separate aspect of the Battle of Kashyyyk (Luke sneaking aboard the vessel with his own goal in mind while Caedus "engages" the Wookiees), and the Duel on Death Star II as different (Luke intended for his presence aboard the battle station to delay the Emperor while Han's strike team took down the shield and the Rebel fleet destroyed it), the Duel on the Star Forge is the culmination of the whole Battle of Rakata Prime, rather than a separate or semi-separate incident that happens to take place during/alongside. Revan boarded the Star Forge with the express purpose both of taking Bastila's battle meditation out of the picture (by redemption or death, depending on alignment, etc. though the former is canon), and to defeat Malak, who still controlled the factories and could theoretically continue to pump out droid ships enough to overpower the Republic despite any battle meditation-delivered assistance. The argument against having a separate article for the Exile's attack on Nihilus applies too; there really isn't enough to make a proper article out of that event that isn't already part of the Battle of Telos IV. The article, as it stands, really needs to be rewritten to reflect the Manual of Style and is, furthermore, somewhat inflated by excess fluff.-- Goodwood [[Image:Redstarbird.svg|20px]] ( Alliance Intelligence ) 06:09, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Furthermore, the article was given an Overhaul template very early on by myself, as it leaves much to be desired in therms of following the Manual of Style, an overhaul that never took place. It is therefore my conclusion, as it was when the article was first created, that it should be merged and redirected to Battle of Rakata Prime; since that article was written by myself, I would be more than happy to conduct the merge.

Merge with Battle of Rakata Prime
