Is the Alliance Evil? (Firefly)

I know this one!! It wasn't built yet. The Executor was built between ANH and ESB at (I believe) Kuat Drive Yards. A sister ship, the Lusankya, was being built at the same time at Fondor and was later buried on Coruscant.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That second part is awful and stupid though.

Well, it was Lira Wessex who designed it, but it was built by KDY. And yes, Lusakya being burried under Coruscant was a rather stupid plot device. Cool ship though.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It wasn't rendered useless. It was used as a high security prison and an emergency escape vehicle for the Emperor.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

It was mounted on repulsorlift sleds. And who said anything about manuevering? When it took off, it took a load of Coruscant with it. Since when did anyone know Palpatine to be concerned with collateral damage?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
