Sounds like someone is quoting Psycho mantis from Gigavilles Last Days of FOXHOUND...

I'll take bets on what this is (odds below):

100:1 - Another EaW mod from the TR team centered on the Yuuzhang Vong War era
50:1 - Another EaW mod from the TR team centered on the Legacy of the Force/Fate of the Jedi era
25:1 - Creepy fan fiction detailing Sullustan/Givin mating rituals
10:1 - Another mod from the TR team based on another game besides EaW
1:1 - A new forum they opened to see how many insane responses people would post demanding to know what it is

Personally, I'm hoping it's a Chiss "Ascendancy" centered mod, GC or TR expansion, but that's probably a terrible guess...
"That's not what the Empire would have done, Commander. What the Empire would have done was build a super-colossal Yuuzhan Vong-killing battle machine. They would have called it the Nova Colossus or the Galaxy Destructor or the Nostril of Palpatine or something equally grandiose. They would have spent billions of credits, employed thousands of contractors and subcontractors, and equipped it with the latest in death-dealing technology. And you know what would have happened? It wouldn't have worked. They'd forget to bolt down a metal plate over an access hatch leading to the main reactors, or some other mistake, and a hotshot enemy pilot would drop a bomb down there and blow the whole thing up. Now that's what the Empire would have done."

I'm going with the first two options and the last sentence.

Spoilers for Fate of the Jedi Below:
I was actually enjoying it a bit up until Vortex, although it did give us some stuff to work with for the mod. Reige is a pretty transparent attempt to recreate Pellaeon, though.

So I opened up Specter of the Past again, and was thinking about how the story opens with Luke thinking he needs to dial back on his Force power use, and then how LotF and FotJ completely refused to acknowledge this (thanks again Del Rey). and was going to remark again on how awesome Zahn's book are in comparison, when I reread the above sentence from the Favorite Authors thread: "although it did give us some stuff to work with for the mod."

Now I'm suddenly thinking about this forum you opened...(add in your own dramatic noise)

Although I'm still putting my money on Sullustan/Givin pair bonding rituals...

KOTOR's always been my favourite Star Wars game. And Enceladus has always liked Blue's Clues.

I'm going to go out on a limb and reveal that it is not in fact Givin/Sullustan slashfiction.

You could make it an Easter Egg capture bonus for when you conquer Sullust and Yag'Dhul!

Hmmm...I'm not sure what to think at this point... I think its safe to say it has something to do with Star Wars
Thrawn's Revenge FTW! =D
