So just so that we all have some idea of what's going on with the Coalition, can we sort out a few details right here, right now, and decide what's canon or not for once and for all?
The mysteries that currently dangle are the following:
-Are the Cren still in the Coalition? Jan talked of them leaving, they took a great big hit when the Imperials came to town, and really they didn't seem all that interested. On a side note, is Jan still in the Coalition?
-Whatever happened to Gue and the East? I fell behind on Eastern Exodus, this I admit and know to be true. Nevertheless, the situation was never clarified - our fleet was badly damaged and the people were evacuated from Mon Calamari, the plague was cured, but we never retreated any further from the other worlds. So in other words, this is a Gue spot check. If he's still around and still meaninglessly angry at me (IT'S BEEN YEARS), then I guess I'll have to finish the retreat and we can say the East is evacuated. If not, then we can say the war is over and we just lost a bunch of ships and Mon Calamari.
-What the heck is going on with Onyx? It is turning into a very weird place. The Coalition (both in the form of federal forces, the Cooperative, and neighbouring Sinsang) are involved with evacuating military personnel and voluntary refugees. The Empire is there thumping down martial law. I get the impression there are some rebels and terrorists causing trouble, and I'm even planning on coming back with the Crusade just to make the mess worse. If a need for setting the record straight applies here, can we just say that in the long run those who had to got out and then the Empire took over? It's likely to stay chaotic for a while now (and forces are at work to disrupt Imperial control) but at the very least maybe the Coalition's presence and actions could be clarified.
There are many smaller things floating around that simply haven't been addressed, such as what the Coalition's going to do with the evidence gathered about the Empire's genocidal practices (That took me a year and a billion words to get, and I do nothing with it?). Also, Viryn's retired, so he needs to find a new job/gutter. What's the public perception? The international situation? Are Imperials still gleefully culling poorly-protected Coalition traders from the space lanes, or are we at peace? Does everyone look at us like dogshit now?
Thos are probably the biggest ones. If you think of anything else to add, go ahead to suggest it.
