Powerful, intelligent and capable women in Scifi, who would have thunked it?

Also hot, you forgot hot.

Because women can't be powerful, intelligent, and capable in sci-fi without also being insanely gorgeous.

You act like Han Solo, Carth Onasi, Luke Skywalker, Kyle Katarn, and so on, cannot be considered STUPIDLY attractive?

C'mon. It's fair for both men and women to be capable and attractive. Hell Obi-Wan was a hunk in his heyday.

You forgot Chewie, and that thing that has it's lips on the end of a stalk.

Although it does seem from recent card art that it is much easier to advance in the Imperial Navy as a woman if you are very attractive (perhaps not that different to real life then?)

It just bugs me that her name is also a ship name. Maybe if i had ever met someone named Hurricane in RT it wouldn't bug me as much *L*

Yeah now if only the I-7 Howlrunner appeared in X-Wing and allowed Howlrunner to pilot it...And of course if the I-7 appeared in Armada and EOE/AOR/F&D that would be great too though it sounds like in Armada squadrons are distinguished by leader not fighter model.

Not bad for someone who didn't technically appear in on-screen, was the fluff of the Decipher team's imagination, and who was most likely one of hundreds of squadron commanders on the Executor who just happened to pull duty that day. The way she is here, you'd think she'd be on the level of renowned aces like Wedge and her name whispered with fear by the rebel alliance.

Not that I'm complaining anything but sheesh! How about that?

Very funny read! Thanks for that

Ok,that explains a lot. im not as up on EU knowledge as i perhaps should be

I hope for other named pilots we know from X-Wing as 'upgrades' of squads with an unique leader.

So like: Howlrunner's squad may be upgraded with 'Winged Gundark' which gives the option to swich a blue die to a black die in engaged. 'Night Beast': Instead of discarding a red token (used token) you may discard him....

so many possibilities ...
