Talk:Natasi Daala

The small image from the cover is stretching out a bit. Can anyone find a higher res version? Otherwise, would could go with this image from starwars.com. --SparqMan 16:50, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

RE:Image
I agree the image is a bit stretched, but I think its the best picture of her, that pic you suggested doesnt really capture the character the way the one from the cover does. I will look for a higher resolution version and change it, or if anyone else finds one then they can do so

Changed
Image has been changed, same pic without the stretch :D

Title
Should we slot Daala after Carivus (as final leader of the Empire) as the first leader of the Imperial Remnant? Or was she just the "uber-warlord" and was Pellaeon really the first? Thanos6 07:04, 18 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * I think she essentially created the Imperial Remnant with the "summit" at Tsoss Beacon, so it makes sense to me. &mdash;Darth Culator   (talk)  15:38, 18 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Where is that quote from? 207.200.116.202 01:14, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * It's a good quote. Hopefully it came from a good source, which I'm sure it did. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 01:15, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * It's from Darksaber. I mostly have two problems with it though: One, Daala asserts that she was competent, and I assert that she was anything but. Second: The image of Grand Moff Tarkin having sexual relations...well, you get the idea. -- SFH 01:32, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Better with Daala than with Lady Tarkin. Actually, if memory serves, the next thing Daala says after the quote in Darksaber was, "But in this case it's true." Kuralyov 01:44, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 01:55, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I remember reading an essay on Domus Publica which basically laid out persons and experiences that refute some of Daala's beliefs about male dominance and discrimination within the Empire Might find some new article-material there. He's meticulous! :o VT-16 13:41, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Not quite my take on it. It seems more like he's saying that it did happen frequently, just not as frequently as the Alliance said.  Further, it seems to justify Daala's position as she was extremely discriminated against due to her gender.  Am I reading you guys right, though, or am I wrong, but are you guys uncomfortable about the first quote in the article?--SOCL 15:30, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Not on my part, I just had the impression Daala victimized herself somewhat and treated her situation almost as unique. Also note, like the article pointed out, that the head of state after Palpatine, was Isanne Isard, a Galactic Empress. VT-16 17:25, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Duly noted. However one Galactic Empress out of more than half a dozen Galactic Emperors isn't quite what I would call fair.  Isard is not proof of pattern, but an exception.--SOCL 17:49, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Somewhat true, and also a possibility that Daala (being posted out in the Maw Installation since long before the battle of Yavin, until a year after Operation Shadow Hand) went through training in a different time than most of the other female Imperials, seeing a different environment. Even so, other women went through training and ended up captaining fleets (Captain Plikk, who had lead a fleet for many years before 3 ABY, Admiral Oxtroe, who tried to sue for peace with the NR before being murdered on order of Palpatine etc), while Daala failed and got a title with help from Tarkin... -__- VT-16 19:05, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * True. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:45, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Ironically, Daala DID gain her position due to her affair with Tarkin. She was a Corporal, an ARMY rank, who worked in the kitchen of a Star Destroyer. After she was "discovered" by Tarkin, and following (and during) their affair, he gave her many "in house" promotions in a branch of the military she wasn't even a part of (again, she was Army, not Navy) until she had "gained" the rank of Admiral. Her Navy ranks would have no standing at all outside of Tarkin's jurisdiction, and would have been voided after his death. Her rank of "fleet admiral" after his death was technically illegal because, as far as the proper military was concerned, she was a corporal in the Army. Regardless of how deserving she was of of some sort of rank, she DID NOT gain it legitimately.

And that's what the quote at the top is incredibly ironic. ;~p--Jerry 19:37, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
