What's The Story? Well, forget the heavy equipment...

To date, no less than forty Databank entries have been written by members of Star Wars Hyperspace, thanks to the truly awesome competition known as What's the Story?.

Thought you guys/gals might be interested in a little list I just compiled for Wookieepedia. Forget the main subject of each entry for now - let's have a peep at the "minor" elements that What's the Story? entrants have introduced into the brilliant saga that is STAR WARS...

EDIT: NOW UPDATED WITH ROUND 7 TIDBITS!

* Almak - homeworld of the Leffingites (NarbFlick)

Cool entry...And we've got another round coming up soon. :0) I hope people are writing entries, who knows how long this opportunity will be around...

To help out with your entry, I can say definitely that the DC0040 civillian version wasn't mine. Maybe that was LFL, they already had the numerical designation for the DC0052. In my original entry submission, I linked it to the civvie version of the T-47...so maybe it was Nathan? :0) Dunno. Sometimes, I think the folks at LFL add their own touches to make the story fit right.

DM out

date Posted: Aug 23, 2006 10:41 AM Just so you know, the TechSpan I was not my doing, so you can subtract my name from there. But, yeah, Spanner was my own original creation. Maybe one day he'll get his own series.

date Posted: Aug 23, 2006 11:05 AM Great list. Nice to see the impact (however minor it might be) that What's the Story has had on the SW saga as a whole. It's great to have a small part in that.

date Posted: Aug 23, 2006 12:05 PM Gentlebeings, congratulations on your successes! Sometimes the minor additions to the Star Wars saga are among the most satisfying, things you just kinda sneak in. I know mumuu-fighting was a highlight for me. I'm going to go ahead and add this to my WTS: Behind the Scenes blog.

date Posted: Aug 23, 2006 3:20 PM Thanks Arf for creating this blog I was planning to create such an entry as well and also adding the already established names I managed to sneak into my entries like Solomahal, Pote Snitkin, Roon, etc ...

Thanks Moose! I'm guessing it was Nathan who came up with the DC0040, since it doesn't seem to be an LFL "fix".

...And we've got another round coming up soon. :0)

Can't wait! Hopefully this Friday or next Monday

Thanks Fisty

Yeah, that's what everyone is hoping for I guess

The UT-AT has already been referenced (Star Wars Insider 84), and apparently Grizz Frix will be appearing in The Complete Visual Dictionary

Onnelly Praji in the Evasive Action: Recruitment appears to be a nod to the Tannon Praji entry. Not to mention the entries reprinted in the Insider, and references in other WTS entries.

Cool, thanks Abel! We all really appreciate the huge support you have given us since this feature began. Kudos!

date Posted: Aug 24, 2006 7:21 AM Very nice blog entry indeed. Hopefully you can add soon somethings from my entries if I get picked . I started with the Denise Ream woman so.

date Posted: Sep 01, 2006 8:02 AM Hey, Arf, are you adding ones for Round 6? If so, does Aneesa Dym from my Dusty Duck entry count?

	ShadowCultist BlogWars - Musings of a Star Wars fan
date Posted: Sep 01, 2006 7:54 PM She counts, Hedec. I added Aneesa Dym for you, but she doesn't yet have her own article written up.

	Arf Maul We'll Blow Your Planet Up!
date Posted: Sep 01, 2006 9:28 PM Yep she sure does! I loved your Dusty Duck story Hedec Shadow is obviously talking about updating the page on Wookieepedia. I'll add Aneesa here now, and I'll add the others from Round 6 later when I get a chance to go through the other entries thoroughly

	ShadowCultist BlogWars - Musings of a Star Wars fan
date Posted: Sep 02, 2006 7:52 AM Oh yeah, sorry. I was referring to Wookiepedia. Though I like the list kept on this blog - it is very neat and concise.

date Posted: Sep 02, 2006 8:39 PM Thanks Arf for the nod here and to ShadowCultist for the nod on the Wook! It's nice to feel welcome

date Posted: Sep 04, 2006 2:23 AM Ok, we're now updated for Round 6!

date Posted: Sep 04, 2006 12:29 PM "DC0040 - civilian predecessor of the DC0052 (Nathan (ChronoRadio) or LFL)" I can clarify that one. I didn't come up with the DC0040. My main contribution was the latter half of the entry with the Jedi emergency deployment and that kind of thing.

	Arf Maul We'll Blow Your Planet Up!
date Posted: Sep 04, 2006 6:20 PM Thanks for the clarification Nathan

	Ello137 Apocalypse Later
date Posted: Sep 05, 2006 8:21 AM Hey Arf. I didn't come up with the Braha'ket Fleetworks Conglomerate, although unless a truly freakish coincidence has occured, it's based on the name of the class of gunship, so that puts me at maybe 10% contribution wise. Good work with the list!

	Arf Maul We'll Blow Your Planet Up!
date Posted: Sep 05, 2006 4:22 PM Thanks Ello, nice to hear from you, and congratulations on being published!

	Arf Maul We'll Blow Your Planet Up!
date Posted: Sep 29, 2006 9:38 PM Round 7 has come around quite quickly . I've now updated the list with: * Hamadryas - Cebann Veekan's species (Bubba1227) * Imperial Entertainers Guild (DJ Maul: Got Feet?) * Luptoom - Nar Hida's home planet (NarbFlick) * Luptoomian - anything originating from Luptoom (NarbFlick) * New Nozho - city on Clak'dor IV (ShadowCultist)

date Posted: Oct 03, 2006 6:04 AM Hey, I've been trying to decide if this counts and I think it does, though it might be a bit tricky. Aneesa Dym's father. For now, he remains unnamed but he still created the Dusty Duck and was its original pilot. Should there be some mention of him? Not his fault he didn't get named

	Arf Maul We'll Blow Your Planet Up!
date Posted: Oct 03, 2006 4:28 PM Yeah, I was thinking of adding a new section called "Nameless entities" or similar... Aneesa's father and the pregnant woman from the Nobot entry can go there, amongst other things. I'll do it when I get home from work tonight. Thanks Hedec.

Thanks for the nod and an interesting idea for a list. Perhaps you should put in the criminal featured in, both, the Rango Tel and Dusty Duck entries?

Gee, this list could go on forever...but, it WOULD be nice to have it all out there so that future WTSers can come along and give names to these characters and elaborate on their stories. After all, Ottegru Grey used to be the "disguised bodyguard" in Tannon Praji's entry...
