The EU is a bit weird re: clones. In the Thrawn trilogy, the discovery that Thrawn had access to clone troops was enough to incite fairly considerable panic, and that took place a good amount of time before the Sun Crusher trilogy IIRC.

Yeah, but that was Thrawn. He's basically Picard turned evil.

Hmm.
IT INVOLVES DRAGONS OF COURSE I'M PLAYING

Name: Alkus
Gender: Male
Age: 504
Breath Attack: This.
Appearance: Deep gray, red eyes. Makes it a point to keep himself looking good.
Bio: Alkus was 'raised', so to speak, in the eastern part of Europe, mainly in and around Germany. He was found feral at a you g age in the Black Forest, a seeming hybrid of a European breed and a Celestial, though how this was accomplished is not known. He was raised by a family of animal caretakers that lived on the edge of the forest, and generally had a good life there as a child, being taught to be stealthy in the hunt by the oldest son of the family and other activities, for the most part having an un eventful life. But as he reached adolescence, he succumbed to wanderlust and bid farewell to his adopted family. Traveling through Europe, he managed to amass a tidy sum of gold coins and precious gems. At one point he joined up with a traveling circus. He spent several hundred years travelling like this. After a great many years he returned to the farm of his birth and found those who lived there to be hostile towards him. This caused him a great deal of pain, and was one of the reasons he came to believe that humans were like foolish young children and needed to be guided by their elders. After the revolution, unable to bear the sight of humans (brought up bad memories), he claimed an isolated territory and for the most part stayed in isolation.

Nation: Kymore
Organization: Ruled by council of 10. Heiarchy based - dragonlets run around doing chores and stuff for big dragons until one of them gets chosen by the big dragon. This one is then schooled in how to behave, how to politic, etc, and then set free. Tougher, smarter, more clever dragons advance faster.
Population:
Dragons: 45% European Dragons, 25% Chinese Dragons (Including more traditional Lung), 20% feathered serpents from Sounth America. Remaining 10% mixed. About 250,000 dragons total.
Humans: None really, since adult dragons rely on eager dragonets to do menial work for them instead of humans.

Location: Europe, Ural Mountains. Currently beginning expansion into Russia and Middle East.

Resources: Ore from mountains, livestock, castles, infasturcture from humans, ie highways, cities, etc. They have access to a variety of weapons platforms and a fleet of board from all over Europe (deployed at the coasts of course), and weapons of war, ie mortar guns, cannon, bombs, gas...etc.

I have a player whose character is a man dressed up as a bunny, believing himself to be the Easter bunny. He is currently in a room with 7 people who want to kill him... eventually. There is also a downed helicopter with still functioning chain guns which are busy trying to take down a giant. No one is attacking him. He can cause random effects to occur with his staff (they can easily backfire), and he has a crowbar. His side kick is an insanely over-powered "mini-bunny". Even he doesn't know what it can do. What should he do?

Toss the bunny at one of his enemies after telling it that that person is 'a bad manperson'.

Still probably going to get the job. If there was a lesson about sleeping in here, I refuse to learn it.

Learn to sleepwalk and sleepjobapply

I tried being angry once.
It really didn't work out.

By the fourth movie the only clones left were Vader's 501st, and they all died when the first Death Star was destroyed.

Apart from Boba Fett, of course.

Upgrade weapons to have antimatter warheads

I realize Imperium vs ____ are popular, but tell me, who would they team up with to purge the galaxy of xenos and other resistance? I'm sure there are other humanities out there who share the Imperium's policies/outlook. And could they actually win?

The Imperium and the Empire from Star Wars under Palpatine would be BEST FRIENDS 4 LIEF BEYOTCH.
-Both are humanocentric
-Both are highly brutal, violent dictatorships mostly ruled by fear and overwhelming force
-Both are perfectly okay with annihilating worlds to prove a point/put down a threat
-Both are led by highly charismatic, mystically powerful, (deeply evil) men
-Both conduct brutal purges of individuals with special powers (Jedi/psykers)
-Both have a cadre of special forces dedicated to annihilating their enemies in ground combat, with superior weapons and armor (Space Marines/Stormtroopers (Believe it or not, Stormtroopers are actually very badass when they're written properly. Just ask Timothy Zahn. Also that armor isn't for show.))
-Both utilize HUGE capital ships designed for intimidation and fearsome orbital bombardments

-Both have an insignificant faction (Tau) that will likely supersede them someday

But yeah, Stormtroopers are pretty badass. There's a reason they were able to take out Jede who had precognitive abilities.
