Greetings all and welcome to the user page of Nick2253. To my role playing and fanfic friends, I am often known as Darth Urian, or Neak Malcom, depending on how the mood strikes me.

About Me
Though some use the term derisively, I proudly call myself a Saxtonite. Though I may disagree, from time to time, with the premise that G-canon is godly and above everything else, I do enjoy the rigorous approach used to interpret the film. However, in the end, they are just films, and this is a make-believe universe far, far away, so I do try to have a life outside Star Wars.

What I Care About
My general interest is usually in starships and the like. It bothers me to no end to find an article without a picture, so I try to find pictures (in cannon, of course) for any such articles lacking them.

My current projects are:
 * Tantive IV and Sundered Heart:
 * When Leeland Chee retconned the CR70's appearance in the end of ROTS to be the Sundered Heart (which was, of course, brought on by TCW), it unfortunately changed a lot of the back story for both ships (though I find the new story more plausible given the Heart's current modified state. Since both ships were owned by the same man (Bail Organa), there is some ambiguity as to the roles his crew served.  My goal has been to try and answer these questions while staying inside the bounds of canon, and not straying into fan fiction, no matter how little.


 * Ryloth:
 * Given my background above, it was only natural for me to find a solution to the tide-locked Ryloth problem. For those not in the know, in TCW, Ryloth was shown as a planet with day and night cycles, which directly conflicted with established canon, which stated that Ryloth was a tide-locked planet.  I am currently trying to combine these two facts into one cohesive, plausible story using a concept called libration.  I have been taking measurements of the light's angle on the four different TWC's episodes featuring Ryloth, and should have specific numbers for Ryloth's sun and orbital eccentricity to make this happen.
