The whole thing make me a bit sad.
I don't care who built it, that ship was meant to be part of someone's navy. Even if it's not a cutting edge power projector anymore it could be doing Anti-pirate service off the horn of Africa or interdicting drug smugglers or providing disaster relief with a compliment of heavy helos. Playing LoveBoat to a bunch of rich ****s and their arm&bed candy is just ignoble. >:(

errr....  no

the less carriers everyone else has the happier I am.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

If I'm not mistaken Talon Kaarde wanted to buy a Star Destroyer and turn it into a casino. 




I just thought that somehow that is related to this story.

The Kiev was barely a carrier even when it was fully operational in the Soviet Navy.

Also, it was Booster Terrik, not Talon Kaarde.  And it was first mentioned in one of the X-Wing books (I wanna say The Bacta War, but don't quote me on that). 

But yes, a Star Wars smuggler wanted to acquire -- and *did* acquire -- his very own Star Destroyer.  :)
