When do you guys/girls think Armada takes place? Is it before battle of Endor? Is it after battle of Yavin? Is time just disregarded? Or lastly is time represented by waves and the commanders that come with them. For example the core has Dodonna who was captured after battle of Yavin and Tarkin who dies in episode IV, while wave one has commanders that survive longer in the story.

Post Battle of Yavin, the same as their other Star Wars games (IA, XWM, EotE, AoR, etc.)

Post BoY, the same as their other Star Wars games.

Is it the same time as Edge of the Empire/Age of Rebellion then?

most likely post yavin and however far off you want

I'm not an EU buff, but I'm also sure the timeline won't really matter next to giving players the flexibility needed to construct their own stories surrounding their fleets/engagements

So far as I've been able to gleen, yes.

I already have a running story about my somnambulistic aft gun teams

It's flexible, set "around" the time of the original films. In the core game, you have Dodonna, Howlrunner & Tarkin, who are basically pre-Yavin. On the other hand, you have Leia and Luke, the latter being in an Xwing, whose time in that ship resulted in the death of Tarkin.

There doesn't appear to be timeline specific restrictions in the game.

That's a good point that I somehow forgot. I need more caffeine.

So the time period is, "Are there rebels?"

"Yes."

"Okay, it's the rebellion period."

It covers a bunch due to characters. Tarkin being a useable character sort of makes it not JUST post-Yavin by default

Yeah, it has to be unspecified rebellion era, with a blind eye to timeline.

In my latest HNN post (link in sig) I do explain away Tarkin though.

Again it needs to be pointed out here that the films were nothing more than cheap, shoddy, unsophisticated (have you seen the "acting?") propaganda holo vids put together by the so called Rebel Alliance.

Ask anyone from the Imperial Ministry of Re-education (The Empire is Victorious on All Fronts).

Why just last week I was just brunching with Grand Moff Tarkin having a rather enlightened discussion on the merits of my new proposal on Imperial Extra Planar Exploitation in the Outer RIm.

Then over grilled aged Mon Cal sauteed in Sullustian butter we decided on what armor polish to get Lord Vader for his upcoming birthday. Nobody tell!

Obviously it's a galactic civil war era pulp so we can field all the named commanders without caring that one of them died by that point. It's not set in a single moment, it's the whole Galactic Civil War period so you can play ALL the battles from that time bracket, instead of limiting players by some fixed point in the history.

Well done.

Why do all of the great commaders die s such meaningless ways rather than in the final battle that ends the Rebellion?

Very sad indeed.

And honestly we are quite happy about that.

I personally think it can be representative of various battles throughout the timeline of Star Wars. In the movies and books you hear about battles going on and ones that were won/lost but never see them so this is an opportunity to bring them to life. I think it's in the players mind's eye that really determines it. Can also create custom objectives that suit certain specific time periods as well.

Well the short answer is Becuase The Rebels Kicked Their Butts!

I respect your mind Beatty, but your dedication to terrorism, civil unrest, and chaos will be your undoing.

Your tragic inability to embrace the discipline of the New Order is lamentable.

Glad to hear that the reports of Grand Moff Tarkin's death in a shuttle accident were incorrect.

Mikael, we definitely need to re-assess data security for HNN: It looks like dissidents hacked you and planted a fake story!

Why has no one ever questioned why these so called "Rebel Victories" have always happened in out of the way places that can't be proven with eye witnesses?

The Empire isn't ashamed of it's victories which is why we make sure all demonstrations of our power are achieved in full view of the masses.

For "Legends" there is a lot of RetConn for when certain fighters were introduced. Some sources say there was a limited number of B-wings for the Battle of Endor, which prevented them from operating as full squadrons, and they had to use a Mix flight of B-wings and A-wings.

Other sources say that the A-wing wasn't introduced until well after the Battle of Yavin.

sometime after the battle of Yavin, and before the battle of Endor.

While Advisor Heshvaun's zeal for protecting the Grand Moff's legacy is commendable, HNN does whatever it must in order to provide Imperial citizens with the Truth that they need to know, even when that Truth is not as glorious as we would wish. At HNN we represent the best that journalism has to offer in the galaxy and we cannot afford to tarnish our credibility, because without our credibility for a fair and balanced assessment of galactic events, we really are nothing.

So, no, we were not hacked or otherwise induced to plant a fake story. The Grand Moff's death in a shuttle accident is well documented, such as the story in the New Order Progressive [ooc: Star Wars Adventure Journal, vol. 3, p. 36], to which I am told even the Emperor, Himself, subscribes.

Indeed.
