You may or may not have heard of Wookieepedia. If you have, well and good. If you haven't, it's a large, fan-made encyclopedia that is (usually) comprehensive and (usually) up to date. At Wookieepedia, we highlight our complete and well written articles, called "Featured articles". Every week, we highlight a new pair of articles. These are the articles for Week 42, 2007:



Dagon Niriz was a fourth-generation navy officer, a captain in the Imperial Navy and the commanding officer of the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer Admonitor in the years leading up to the Battle of Endor. A stalwart supporter of order and obedience in naval service, he took his position seriously.

When he was assigned to Thrawn's mapping expedition in the Unknown Regions, he initially saw it as a blow to his career. However, after a test of Niriz's loyalty which caused the officer to doubt Thrawn's fitness for command but during which Niriz refused to participate in mutiny, Thrawn revealed the true nature of his mission. Thrawn, with Niriz and Voss Parck at his side, was in fact assigned to conquer the Unknown Regions for the Galactic Empire and secure it against the vast array of hidden threats within. Niriz took great pride in this cause, and continued to serve in the Unknown Regions, where Thrawn's holdings became the Empire of the Hand, even after Thrawn returned to the Empire after the Emperor's death.



The Record Time was an armed troop transport that served with distinction during the fall of Coruscant and later the Battle of Borleias. The ship ferried the initial waves of ground troops and YVH 1s to the surface of Borleias in the initial stages of the battle as part of a New Republic effort to take the planet, but sustained heavy damage in the process.

Following that engagement, the vessel was later used to insert a team of Wraith Squadron infiltrators and Jedi onto the surface of occupied Coruscant. While performing this mission, the ship was attacked by multiple coralskippers and a Yuuzhan Vong frigate analog. The Record Time ultimately fulfilled its mission, but succumbed to the plasma cannon fire, disintegrating over Coruscant as its crew escaped.
