And they are only going to continue publishing the EU already written, they are not going to write any more EU novels. The demand for them will slowly diminish and disappear until thy cease being published (in about 5 years or so, I predict).

Besides, they're supposedly going to continue publishing in the Expanded Universe alongside the new canon anyway so it still fits in somewhere! Plus everything published via this route has just as much chance of being adopted by the new canon as anything else (since the content of the articles is/was considered canon and are included in LucasFilm's master database).

I read it as Devian set up a trap for Kaine by teasing the return of Grant, and then sent the E-wings previously acquired from Kiara Schmong against Kaine (which would neatly serve to redirect blame/suspicion away from Devian).
I suppose you are right there, just another case of the Empire killing itself off.

I especially like how the second part introduces the name of Delvardus' capital planet in the Core (it was previously unnamed) - which just goes to show how the SWEU continues to expand. As I recall in ICW 2.1 we had to put Delvardus on Odik-II for the Reunification GC because at the time his actual planet was unknown.
Agreed, though Odik II was a Fortress world Delvardus owned so putting him there wasn't too far out, Serrenno was Zsinj's capital but Dathomir gets most credit. Did like how they fleshed ut Delvardus, Harrsk and Teradoc, they neded it and I always was fascinated by he Warlords.
It seems like a grand attempt to have the EU coalesce into one consistent story, but it gets lazy here and there. Like, Sate Pestage was killed on Ciutric and on Byss because he was cloned or something.
It also feels kind of weird reading a three page article on the Empire and its offshoots and never hear anything about Voss Parck, the Council of Moffs, or Empire Reborn. Odder still that there's all this about this weird genetically engineered stuff instead of warlords.
I liked part 1 and 2. As for Cronus and a Brill they were truly small fish in the Galactic sea. Also we finally solved the mystery of who killed Grand Moff Ardus Kaine, Enix Devian supplied false intel that Grand Admiral Grant was returning to fight for the PA and would meet Kaine over Palhani but instead was slain by New Repubic E Wings tipped off by Devian of the Grand Moff's arrival.

EDIT: There is also quite a lot of narrative here of which I was unfamiliar with (including some of the warlords themselves). Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
