Talk: Batonn insurgency

Do we know if the Battle of Batonn takes place after the Mission to Malachor? Jkirk8907 (talk) 01:50, September 25, 2016 (UTC)

Although it's the most likely scenario, we have absolutely no proof that Thrawn was promoted from admiral (be it fleet admiral, vice admiral, rear admiral or just plain admiral) to grand admiral. Since he was promoted by the Emperor himself, he could have skipped one or more ranks for all we know. I think it's more prudent to call him an "officer", or just "Thrawn" prior to the Battle of Batonn. Anything else is speculative. (Of course, I suspect the novel will shed some light on this.) --LelalMekha (talk) 17:33, September 25, 2016 (UTC)

Should we create a separate article for the Battle of Scrim Island? The Thrawn novel treats the events on Scrim Island as separate from the events that occur at Paeragosto City on Batonn's main continent. The novel makes it clear that the Battle of Scrim Island ended as a victory for Thrawn after he uses his ships to generate an artificial tsunami that overwhelms the island's ion and turbolaser cannons, and deflector shields. The insurgents surrender and release their hostages. On page 361, Thrawn says that "this battle [Scrim Island] is over. But the war for Batonn has not yet been won."

The events at Paeragosto City occur later when the insurgents take control of a mine and establish their base there. Thrawn tries to negotiate with Nightswan but his efforts to end the siege are complicate when Arihnda Pryce kills an Imperial agent and blows up the mine in order to cover up her crime. This explosion kills all the insurgents and many civilians. We could have the Battle of Batonn cover the events at Paeragosto City. Should we rename the article? Andykatib 11:33, July 19, 2017 (UTC)
