A Padawan's Journal is back and this time author Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff is discussing hardware. More specifically, she focuses in on Dash Rendar's ship, the Outrider. Remember, Dash Rendar will be featured in Bohnhoff's and Micheal Reave's upcoming novel Holostar (due out 2011). Excerpt below and click here for the full read.


'I discovered that, yes, Our Hero has a ship of his own?the Outrider, a Corellian Engineering Corporation YT-2400. A stock YT-2400 at the beginning of her days, but you know these hot-shot scoundrelly pilot types. They?re like engineers, they love to change things. And so the Outrider is no longer ?stock.? She?s a souped-up bird and, according to Our Hero, a worthy competitor for the Millennium Falcon, which is a YT-1300.

Now, Dash would no doubt argue that the Outrider?s loftier model number indicates a newer and therefore better ship. I shall express no opinion in the matter, but suffice it to say that Dash Rendar has historically viewed Han Solo and his ship as ?the competition.? I am led to believe it is a friendly rivalry. Michael and I will be challenged to give Dash something to think about besides whether he can make the Kessel run in less time and distance than his worthy opponent."


Next time, Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff will examine Force sensitives.
