Another "Chris Talks" fan fiction video in which Grand Admiral Thrawn discusses the reasons the Emperor closed down the Imperial Senate. And the consequences. This is set in the "Heir to the Empire" Star Wars Legends timeline, not in the Disney canon one, but most of what Thraswn argues applies equally to both.

Thomas Cochrane was a British naval officer who had a brilliant career fighting the French during the Napoleonic wars, then became an admiral in the navies of various Latin American independence movements and had an equally successful record fighting for them. His exploits helped to inspire a number of great works of naval fiction, almost certainly including some of the events of both C.S. Forester's "Hornblower" books and Patrick O'Brien's "Master and Commander" series.  As I write this post, a reproduction of Montagu Dawson's painting " The smoke of battle - the gallant Speedy " hangs on the wall of the room, depicting the capture in 1801 by HMS Speedy under Cochrane's command of the Spanish frigate El Gamo . The battle shown in the painting was an extraordinary victory by Lord Cochrane. The disparity between the two vessels was staggering: • HMS Speedy : A small 14-gun brig with a severely depleted crew of just 54 men. • El Gamo : ...

In the early hours of February 11th 1943, a British Wren, Marjorie Elphinstone, who was listening for Nazi radio signals, noticed that a German transmission she was monitoring paused pause for a second, as though the Wireless operator she was listening to had been interrupted or given some different information.  Marjorie Elphinstone recorded the message and the pause, and flagged it to her superiors.

"Soul Synergy is the first in a new series of magical fantasy novels by David North and Michael Dalton, set in North's "Aster Fall" universe in which he has set two other series of novels, the "Guardian of Aster Fall" and "Wild Era" novels. "Soul Synergy" is set at about the same time as the events of the "Wild Era," series, late in the Chaos War, with several of the characters joining the Stars Alliance organisation which also exists in that series, but we are assured that there will be no spoilers between these two series so it doesn't matter in which order you read them. This book and series are what's described as a "LITRPG progression fantasy" which means basically that the characters develop skills and abilities and gain levels both overall and in those skills with character sheets which work almost exactly as if they were characters in a Dungeons and Dragons-style roleplaying game, but this isn't a ...
