My name is Christopher Odd and I’ve been playing video games on the internet for a few years. I really enjoy a variety of games but generally lean towards games with a unique and engaging story (Bioshock, The Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077, The Last of Us etc), strategy/roguelike games (XCOM 2 War of the Chosen, Darkest Dungeon, etc), and RPGs (Dark Souls, Elden Ring, Dragon Age, etc). Of course, I am always looking for great indie games too! 🤓 MY SOCIAL MEDIA 🤓 http://bit.ly/OddsTwitter http://bit.ly/OddsDiscord http://bit.ly/OddsInstagram http://bit.ly/OddsPatreon 💼 Business Inquiries Only 💼 [email protected] - - - - - #zcom #tactics #xcom

Wow the name Pong Krell brought back memories of the clone wars show that explains why hawks clone unit was wiped out
Okay, to comply with odd's request here a few star wars lore stuff. Most of you probably know this: Clone Wars - The setting and pretty big in the prequels. It is a secession crisis initiated by Count Dooku of Serenno uniting several worlds of the galactic republic to seceede from it. That's largely due to the rampant corruption and ineffectiveness of the republic itself, hurting especially less well off worlds in and round the outer rim (the galaxy is divided into several regions, the outer rim is essentially a thick half ring along the galaxy's edge). Confederation of Independent Systems (CIS) - The separatists they have founded their own senate as their primary legislative organ and Count Dooku - a former Jedi - is their head of government. They also have the separatist council, a body of representatives from several mega corporations that serves as the excutive/administration under Dooku. Droid Army - The separatist military. Essentially Count Dooku and the separatists bought the private armies of multiple mega corporations (Banking Clan, Trade Federation, Techno Union, Commerce Guild and Corporate Alliance) to quickly build a military. The separatists also continue building droids (presumably under the corporations as well). General Grievous - He's the military leader of the Droid Army. A cyborg Kaleesh warlord, he's been recruited and trained in Jedi fighting by Count Dooku. His most notable characteristics is a penchant for personally hunting Jedi and having replaced most of his body (everything but his eyes, brain and a few vital organs) to be a perfect warrior. Also, in spite of all his skills he can be a bit of a coward. Galactic Republic - Biggest polity of the galaxy, controlling both of it. Essentially it's a big federal republic with its component entities (sectors, planets and corporations) each sending a single senator into the senate, the legislative body. The supreme chancellor elected by the senate serves as head of government. To my knowledge the republic is mainly concerned with interstellar stuff, with the component bodies pretty freely administering themselves within the law (slavery for example is outlawed). It's somewhere between a UN and US. Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) - Since the Ruusan Reformations roughly 1000 years ago, the republic didn't have a standing military. There were other organs like the Jedi Knights, Defense coalition of the High Republic era and the Judicial Forces performing some republic level security tasks but most things were up to local security forces (of the members). As part of the secession crisis there were talks about raising an army. Before that happened the clone army ordered years before by Jedi master Syfo-Dias in secret from the Kaminoan cloners was discovered. Together with suporting hardware and ships presumably produced under secret contracts by various manufacturers (Kuat Drive Yards, Incom, Blastech...) it immediately provided the republic with a fully functioning military. The Hutts (Gorga) - I think most people know Jabba, one of their highest ranking members. The Hutts are both a sluglike species with a lifespann of hundreds of years and one of the biggest - likely the biggest - cartells of the galaxy. They actually predate the republic and control their own area of space outside of it. Being in debt to them can be a big issue for Zero Company. Nal Hutta - Homeworld of the Hutt species and meeting place of their Hutt council. It's a fairly swampy poorly developed planet though and far from being the cartells economic center. It's essentially the resort where all the big Hutts have their palaces. Nevarro - Pretty much a frontier backwater. A lot of The Mandalorian is centered there, roughly 30 years in the future. Lothal - The primary setting of Star Wars Rebels, also in the future (but only around 15 years?). It's mostly a farming planet in the outer rim (near-ish to the edge of the galaxy) with some urban centers. Sabbac - Star Wars poker. Bacta - A microbial substance that is essentially a trauma treatment super medicine. It has extreme regenerative properties. Heavily injured people can just be submerged in it.
This has been my most anticipated game in a long while. I can not wait to load into it this weekend. Im gonna skip the cutscenes so I can keep some for myself. But proud of you odd, and cant wait to see how this one will go!
“I gotta go with a sniper…” <insert sound clip of small children cheering>
D4-V3 "Dave" Astromech Lovin' me a new series to sink my teeth into.
Pong Krell was a Jedi Master who HATED clones. In Clone wars he ended up putting clones up against eachother. He was known to get clones killed on missions. This was before order 66.
The ONLY channel I want to watch this game on.
