mole rat wonder meat
|
Mole rat wonder meat ( Fallout 3 ) Mole rat wonder meat is a craftable food item in " Fallout 3 " which can be made with two simple ingredients and access to the Wonder meat maker , located within the Jury Street tunnels . Background . The wonder meat can be made very simply by taking a piece of Mole rat meat and a tube of wonderglue to Ryan ' s wonder meat maker and activating it , combining the two to create one piece of the wonder meat . They are not hard to find as these items are strewn all over the laboratory . Characteristics . The wonder meat itself is 4 times more effective at HP regeneration than normal mole rat meat , bringing it up to 20 , while not altering the rad value whatsoever . In combination with the food sanitizer , this boosts the healing factor to 24 , on par with mirelurk meat , but without incurring the usual danger , difficulty , and general rarity of finding and killing the creatures . While the sanitizer is active , wonder meat is nearly on par with human flesh in terms of HP gain , and with far fewer rads .

cold war

Cold War ( TV story ) This episode once again implies that wars are fluxing points in the timeline ; " Victory of the Daleks " , the Doctor kept World War 2 from major change by confiscating leftover Dalek technology . In this story , the Doctor explains that history is full of times when all - out war can be triggered by a " single spark " . As something of a surprise , this episode is the first time that one of the Doctor ' s companions has actually listened to his order to remain where they are in a dangerous situation . By this point , the Doctor had come to accept no - one listens to him until right before it ' s too late ; Clara actually listening to him was a shock which immediately set her apart from other companions . Synopsis . In 1983 , the tensest point of the Cold War , a Soviet submarine discovers a strange creature frozen in the ice of the Arctic . When one of the " Firebird " s crew breaks it free , it starts attacking . As the crew strikes back , the Eleventh Doctor warns them that the attack could be considered a declaration of war on the entire Ice Warrior race . . . Plot . It is the North Pole , in the year 1983 . Aboard a Soviet submarine , a warning repeats that the " signal is genuine . " Captain Zhukov and Lieutenant Stepashin use their keys to prime an ICBM launch . They prepare to fire , but are interrupted by the entrance of Professor Grisenko , singing Ultravox ' s " Vienna " . The Captain reports the drill has been abandoned . Stepashin says they must run it again , to which the Captain says , " Tomorrow . " The Captain then asks the Professor about the " specimen " , wondering if it ' s a mammoth . In the hold , the crewman in charge of the specimen muses that they are supposed to wait till the crew arrives back in Moscow to thaw the specimen out . However , he uses a blowtorch to thaw the block of ice , until he is grabbed by a claw that emerges from the ice . Havoc erupts on the submarine . The hull has been breached and crew members are being attacked by a green armoured figure . The TARDIS materialises in the midst of the chaos . As the Captain orders the sub to be brought to the surface , the Eleventh Doctor and Clara are thrown across the bridge . Clara concludes that they are not in Las Vegas , as they expected to be . The Captain asks who they are , while being informed by a crew member that the main turbines aren ' t responding . The Doctor tells them their only chance to survive is to use the lateral thrusters in order to land on a ridge , which will prevent them from dropping further . The captain then orders the crew to do this . Crew members search the Doctor and Clara , confiscating a number of items from his pockets , including a doll , a ball of yarn and his sonic screwdriver . Unexpectedly , the TARDIS suddenly dematerialises . Clara falls into a puddle after a jolt rocks the sub , temporarily losing consciousness . When she wakes up , the Doctor and the Captain are arguing ; the Doctor defends his and Clara ' s arrival as a coincidence . Seeing that he must calm Zhukov , the Doctor decides " okay , no psychic paper , no pretending to be an Earth ambassador " and explains the two of them are time travellers , using the fact the TARDIS appeared from nowhere as proof . They are interrupted by a raspy noise coming from behind the Doctor . He initially thinks it ' s gas , but turns around to find the green armoured figure . The professor explains it came out of block of ice he believed held a mammoth . A shocked Doctor tells him it ' s an Ice Warrior . Zhukov calls it a monster , but the Doctor tells him Ice Warriors are soldiers that demand respect . He goes on to explain the ice Warrior is lashing out in confusion after being frozen for , as the professor explains , 5 , 000 years . The Doctor asks the warrior for his name , to which is replies Grand Marshall Skaldak ; the Doctor is shocked to hear the name of this Ice Warrior . Stepashin sneaks up behind Skaldak and knocks him out with a cattle prod . The Doctor berates Stepashin , telling them Skaldak is the greatest warrior ever produced by the Ice Warriors . He warns the crew that their only option now is to " lock him up . " Now in chains , Skaldak asks Onegin if he has been asleep for 5 , 000 years . The crewman confirms that this is what the Professor said . Skaldak signals for his brothers to save him . In Zhukov ' s quarters , the Doctor explains that the Ice Warriors are native Martian reptiles that built suits to survive when Mars became too cold for them . A design flaw is that a sudden increase of heat will knock them out , hence why the cattle prod worked ; the Doctor always wondered why this has never been addressed . Skaldak was one of the Ice Warriors ' finest , being honoured so much that his enemies would carve his name into their own flesh before death . Clara is shocked to hear this . However , Stepashin is not willing to believe in " little green men " , instead stubbornly believes that the Doctor and Clara are western spies and that Skaldak is a Western weapon , a survival suit ; he believes Moscow must be told so that they can retaliate . Zhukov only finds him annoying , ordering Stepashin to resume repair work on the submarine . The Doctor tells the Captain that if they had done nothing , Skaldak would have ignored them . However , one of their men attacked him : " Harm one and you harm us all " is the Martian code ; " Skaldak will rain down Hell just for laying a glove on him . " The Doctor points to the headphones on the Professor ' s Walkman , where he can hear the sound of " Hungry Like the Wolf " being modulated by Skaldak ' s distress call . He says that he is the only one who can talk to Skaldak , but the Captain is unwilling to risk his only source of knowledge . It can ' t be the Captain , as Skaldak will be able to tell he ' s an enemy soldier . The Captain points out the Doctor seems like one as well . As it can ' t be the Captain , any of his men , or the Doctor , Clara declares that she ' s the only choice . The Doctor protests , but prepares Clara for the task . Clara approaches the restrained Skaldak , with the Doctor coaching her through an audio link . She salutes him and recites a ritual greeting , followed by more of the Doctor ' s words , before her light goes out . The Grand Marshall speaks to the Doctor directly , and tells a story of singing the songs of the Red Snow with his daughter ( who is now long dead ) . The Doctor attempts to calm Skaldak by explaining that the Ice Warriors are still alive , but " scattered all across the universe " . However , Skaldak refuses to believe him , stating that no help will come for him . Clara has been inching forward . She realises something is wrong , discovering that the armour they have chained is now empty . Skaldak has left it . Skaldak says that it is time he studied his enemies , and swears to retaliate . The Doctor tells Clara to get out of there and begins to rush to her , but the Captain pulls a handgun on him , thinking the Doctor was cooperating with Skaldak . The Doctor tells him he ' s never seen one do this before ; he then adds that he ' s never seen one out of his shell before . The Captain accepts this and lets him go . The Professor says it should be more vulnerable without armour , but the Doctor says it will be more dangerous - to an Ice Warrior , leaving its armour is one of the most dishonourable things it can do . He runs for Clara , who hears hissing and sees Skaldak rush by as she tries to open the hatch . The others reach her and the Doctor pulls her through . She asks him how she did . The Doctor says it wasn ' t a test , but she did great . Grisenko reports that the signal has stopped . The Doctor says Skaldak has given up hope of rescue and now has nothing left to lose . Due to the Ice Warriors living beyond the solar system , the signal is taking longer to reach them ; however , Skaldak does not know this , instead believing he is the last of his kind . The Captain is sceptical about what the Martian could do , until the Doctor points out that they ' re sitting on a large number of nuclear weapons . He says it couldn ' t be any worse , just before the submarine slips a little further down the incline and more water pours in . Skaldak stalks Stepashin , who is making repairs . Stepashin pulls his gun , but he is facing the wrong direction . He feels spindly , three fingered hands grab him by the shoulder and top of the head . Skaldak learns about the Cold War and the theory of mutually assured destruction from Stepashin , who wants to gain an ally to fight Western aggression . The Captain addresses the crew . The reactor is drowned , they only have battery power , and they ' re running out of air . They still have a mission , however . They need to stop the Grand Marshall before he gains control of any of the missile s . They are all that stands between him and the destruction of the world . Clara learns from the Doctor that time can be changed , and even if the world previously didn ' t end in 1983 , it can now . The Captain tells him that they have twelve men , but they can ' t find Stepashin . They decide to split up and look for him , with a team to guard the bridge ; when the Captain questions the idea , the Doctor retorts " it ' s either that , or wait here for him to kill us all . " Grisenko turns up with the sonic screwdriver and the doll and gives them back to the Doctor , who is quite happy to have them both . They begin the search . As the Doctor scans , Clara asks Grisenko why they have a cattle prod on board , and is told that it ' s for polar bear s . The Professor tells her to have courage , and says he sings a song to stay brave . He asks if she knows " Hungry Like the Wolf " . She refuses to sing , comparing it to a musical number in " Pinocchio " . There are alarms and some echoes as the Doctor tinkers . He says it ' s the pressure , and Grisenko begins to sing , trying to persuade Clara to join him . Onegin asks Belevich if he thinks it ' s truly a Martian . Onegin thinks they ' ll be heroes for discovering that there is other life out there in the universe , not just humanity . As Belevich replies , Skaldak silently grabs Onegin . Screams echo , and the Doctor , Clara , and Grisenko arrive to find the two torn apart . The Professor calls Skaldak a savage , but the Doctor explains that he is studying the humans for physical weaknesses . They continue the search , but Clara is slow to follow . Scanning for Skaldak ' s location , the Doctor gets a fix and tells Clara to stay with the professor . Clara agrees to do so . The Doctor is momentarily confused by her willingness to follow his instruction ( unlike most of his companions ) , then continues onward . Clara confesses to Grisenko that she was bothered by the bodies . The Captain realises that Skaldak is in the walls , thus avoiding attention . The Doctor finds Stepashin ' s body , feeling sorrow for him when he notices a photo of a woman in Stepashin ' s wallet . He then spots Skaldak moving above him . He follows . The Professor tries to distract Clara from worrying about the noises she is hearing . He keeps questioning her , but she continues staring around , barely answering . He very seriously demands to know about the future — specifically , if Ultravox will split up . She breaks out into laughter , then gasps as Skaldak grabs her head . Grisenko produces a gun and shoots several times . Skaldak lets her go and grabs him . Clara pleads with Skaldak to let Grisenko go as the Doctor runs up . The Grand Marshall declares that they attacked him . By Martian law , this means that the people of this world are forfeit ; he now has the information he requires to begin the destruction . He only needs one missile to trigger the exchange . With his people dead and dust , there is nothing left for him but revenge . Skaldak signals his armour , and the helmet flips up . The Doctor tells him that there is one thing left : mercy . The Captain enters with a crewman , threatening violence in defence of the Earth . The Doctor says they ' re negotiating , not fighting . The Captain replies that they will negotiate from a position of strength , and aims his rifle . Skaldak comments , " Excellent tactical thinking , " but goes on to explain his position isn ' t as strong as he thinks . The armour has been summoned by Martian sonic technology . He releases the Professor and enters his armour . They open fire , but the Doctor stops them . Skaldak vows to create a new red planet from the blood of humanity . The Doctor follows him . Skaldak extrudes probes from the gloves of his armour into the targeting computers . Text flows , lights change and locks shift . The missile tubes open . The others arrive and the Captain says that the warheads are being armed . The Doctor asks him to wait , asking where the honour is in killing billions of innocent people . He continues to appeal to Skaldak ' s better nature , but seemingly to no effect . As Skaldak reaches for the button , he declares himself as a Time Lord , with his own sonic technology . If he needs to , he will blow up the sub and everyone on it to avoid starting the nuclear exchange . The Martian mutters , " mutually assured destruction , " and turns back to the button , as the Doctor lifts the sonic screwdriver . The Doctor taunts him to look into his eyes , and Skaldak removes his helmet , asking which of them will blink first . Clara asks Skaldak why he showed compassion earlier , further asking about his daughter and when they had sung the songs of the Red Snow . The submarine suddenly begins to vibrate . Skaldak declares that his people live and have come for him . The Captain says that they are rising . A spaceship raises the submarine to the surface in a beam of cloudy white light . The Doctor pleads with Skaldak to just go in peace . Another beam hits Skaldak and he disappears . Clara says they did it , but the Doctor checks the console , which is still armed . One pulse from the Martian ship could launch the missiles . He holds up the sonic screwdriver , wincing and repeating that he ' ll destroy them if he must . Frightened , Clara begins to quietly sing " Hungry Like the Wolf " . The missiles disarm . Clara hugs the Doctor , before straightening herself . " Saved the world , then , " she says . " That ' s what we do . . . " The Doctor , the Captain , the Professor , and Clara go up top and get a look at the Martian ship . Clara asks the Doctor what happened to the TARDIS . The Doctor sheepishly confesses that , while tinkering , he reset the HADS , which he hasn ' t used in a very long time . He says it ' s bound to turn up , as the sonic starts buzzing . The TARDIS has gone to the pole . . . the South Pole . Embarrassed , he asks the Captain for a lift , and they all laugh . The Doctor salutes the Ice Warrior ship with an arm across his chest as it zooms off . Story notes . Ratings . " Cold War " was first broadcast in the United Kingdom on BBC One on 13 April 2013 .

Turbolift Turbolifts , also called elevators or simply lifts , were machines used for conveying people and objects to different levels in a building , starship , space station , or even tiered city . Said machine traveled in a shaft that extended vertically , allowing them to move up and down . In the case of a building , a turbolift could be either internal or external to the structure . Toward the end of the Clone Wars , the elevators installed in the Separatist dreadnoughts were cable - borne and equipped with braking mechanisms . On the planet Coruscant , turbolifts could be used to travel between the many levels of the ecumenopolis . A Human girl named Anandra Milon and her younger brother Santigo Milon once used a turbolift to travel from Level 1997 to Level 1996 , as did a stormtrooper who pursued them .

bartz

Bartz Klauser Bartz Klauser ( known as Butz Klauser in the RPGe fan translation of the Super Famicom version and the Japanese version of " Dissidia Final Fantasy " , and Batz in " " ) is the main protagonist of " Final Fantasy V " . His mother died when he was young , and his father died three years ago , but on advice from his father , Bartz decided to explore the world . Before the player names him , Bartz is known as ? , or ? ? ? in the " Advance " version . Profile . Appearance . Bartz has a slim muscular build . He has white hair in Yoshitaka Amano ' s artworks , with a tight - fitting shirt and trousers with various beads and sashes . His sprite art depicts him with brown hair , wearing a blue tunic , white shirt and trousers , and sometimes a red cape . Bartz ' s eyes are gray or brown depending on the source . In sprite form , his eyes are blue . Officially , he is the tallest of the playable party . Personality . Bartz is described as " a simple wanderer . " He starts his adventure with no further ambitions than exploration as that is what his father wanted , and so he initially rejects Lenna ' s invitation to join her . His conscience ( along with Boko ' s intervention ) makes him change his mind , and shortly thereafter he is chosen to be a Light Warrior by the Crystals . This forces Bartz to mature and form a greater sense of responsibility to the world , much like his father had . Despite the gravity of the situation , Bartz retains his easygoing and friendly nature , and remains levelheaded to the point of being facetious , remarking the others are always " going overboard . " Bartz cares for his friends and is still affected by his parents ' deaths , even though he struggles verbalizing his feelings . Bartz has a fear of heights dating back to a childhood incident of playing hide - and - go - seek and almost falling from a roof of a two - story house . Story . Bartz was born in the village of Lix where he lived with his mother Stella and his father Dorgann . Bartz ' s mother died while he was still young , and his father fell ill and died when Bartz was seventeen . Following his dying wish , Bartz traveled the world and found a chocobo separated from his flock whom he named Boko who became Bartz ' s steadfast companion and steed . Three years after Dorgann ' s death , Bartz is in the Tycoon area when a meteorite falls from the sky . On the impact site he finds a young woman , Lenna , being attacked by goblins . He helps her out , and they find an amnesiac old man named Galuf in the meteorite ' s wreckage . Lenna explains she must go to the Wind Shrine and Galuf joins her when he realizes he is going there too . Bartz chooses to continue his wanderings , but Boko convinces him to help Galuf and Lenna . After an earthquake Bartz again rescues the pair from goblins and joins them on their journey to the Wind Shrine , deciding his father would have wanted him to find out what was happening to the Crystals , though Galuf teases he ' s only doing it because of the beautiful Lenna . The party finds a cave opened by the earthquake and as they venture through they spot a ship sailing without the wind . They reach a pirate hideout where Bartz tries to commandeer the pirate ship owned by the pirate captain Faris . The group is caught and during their captivity Bartz and Galuf discover Lenna ' s true identity as a princess of Tycoon . Faris lets them take the ship to the Wind Crystal and while they stop at Tule the pirates book an inn and Bartz and Galuf are confused by Faris ' s beauty while asleep . At the Wind Shrine before the Crystal shatters they meet the King Tycoon who entrusts the four with a quest to save the Crystals from an unknown evil , naming Bartz , Lenna , Galuf , and Faris the Warriors of Light . They meet Zok , Lenna ' s old friend , and ask for the key to the Torna Canal , but Zok claims to have lost it . That night , Bartz awakens wondering if his father would have wanted him to be on such a quest . Zok speaks with him and entrusts him the key , believing Lenna would be safe with him . If the party visits the pirate hideout they will find chocobo tracks . Bartz discovers Boko tried to follow them and became injured , finding his way into the care of the pirates ' doctor . Bartz is anxious over him even though the doctor assures Boko will be fine . In the Torna Canal the pirate ship is attacked by Karlabos and Syldra ( Faris ' s sea dragon " pet " that can move the ship even when there is no wind ) is sucked into a whirlpool . Bartz and Galuf must hold Faris back from trying to follow . The ship drifts to the Ship Graveyard where Bartz and Galuf discover Faris is a woman in disguise , but Bartz shrugs at the discovery and doesn ' t think of her any differently . When they reach the coastline Siren hypnotizes Bartz with a figure of his mother , but Galuf saves them because he cannot remember the girl the Siren used to try and ensnare him . They reach the North Mountain and save Hiryu , Lenna ' s wind drake . Bartz is afraid of heights but Galuf forces him onto the dragon anyway . When Bartz and the party arrive in Castle Walse , they warn the King of the Crystal ' s impending destruction , but the King refuses their counsel . Another meteorite falls nearby and a soldier warns the King that the monster Garula has gone insane . The party leaves for the Walse Tower and defeats Garula , but the Water Crystal shatters and the tower sinks into the sea . Bartz , Lenna , Galuf and Faris are rescued by Syldra , but the sea dragon is spent and drifts away on the current . The party returns to Walse Meteorite where Bartz discovers a warp point to another continent . They arrive in Karnak only to be imprisoned by the town guard . In prison Bartz and company meet Cid Previa when he accidentally " escapes " into their cell . He introduces himself as the inventor of the Crystal amplification machines , locked up by Queen Karnak when he realized the machine is damaging the Crystal and tried to stop its use . The chancellor releases the party so they can save the Queen who is trapped on the Fire - Powered Ship that holds the Fire Crystal . The party saves the Queen , but the Crystal is destroyed by a possessed soldier and they narrowly escape the ensuing explosion . Cid is frustrated by his mistakes and unable to help Bartz and his friends , so they look for Mid Previa , Cid ' s grandson , who resides in the Library of the Ancients . They explain everything to him and Mid departs to talk to his grandfather . With Mid and Cid working together they rebuild the Fire - Powered Ship and Bartz ' s party leaves to search for the last Crystal . Galuf , having regained some of his memory after seeing Cid and Mid ' s relationship , knows the reason the Crystals are being destroyed : Exdeath , a 1 , 000 - year - old warlock from another world who was sealed by the Warriors of Dawn and the Crystals ' power , is possessing various people around the world to destroy the Crystals to break free . With the wind drake , Bartz returns to his hometown of Lix where the townspeople are happy to see him , and the bard who has taken up residence in his old house tells him to look around . The old music box reminds Bartz of his mother ' s death and that night he visits her grave . He explains to Faris that his father Dorgann would have been buried alongside his wife and carves his name on the stone . After the party searches for the Earth Crystal on Crescent , the Fire - Powered Ship sinks . When the party explores the nearby woods Bartz and Faris find a black chocobo and return to the Library of the Ancients to explore the Ronka Ruins where they encounter a possessed King Tycoon . They reach Catapult , a hidden facility , and find an airship under Crescent Island when the Ronka Ruins turn into a floating battle station . The party flies there with the newly - restored airship and unwittingly destroys the Crystal ' s guardian . King Tycoon prepares to destroy the Crystal and while Bartz and Galuf ready themselves to fight him , Lenna and Faris stand between them . Galuf ' s granddaughter Krile has arrived on another meteorite , and hits the King with a spell to break Exdeath ' s hold on him . The ensuing reunion is cut short when Exdeath arrives , forcing the King to sacrifice his life to save them . Exdeath departs to the other world , and as the King dies he asks that Bartz protect his daughters , Lenna and Faris . Galuf , his memory fully restored , leaves for his world with Krile on her meteorite and forbids the others to follow . Bartz , Lenna , and Faris soon decide they ' re not going to leave their friend to fight on his own even if it means never returning to their homeworld . They collect adamantite at Cid and Mid ' s suggestion from the four meteorites to use their remaining power to teleport to Galuf ' s World . Bartz , Lenna , and Faris arrive on a deserted island and during the night are attacked by Abductor s sent by Exdeath . The three are taken to Castle Exdeath and held hostage and when Bartz tries to confront Exdeath , is knocked back with a powerful spell . Galuf has his army fall back , saves the heroes from the castle , and the four battle Exdeath ' s lackey Gilgamesh . After the battle on the Big Bridge , the castle ' s force field throws the party to the continent of Gloceana . Bartz apologizes for failing to help , but Galuf brushes it off . Spending the night in Regole , Galuf reassures him that their actions saved his army from the barrier ( albeit accidentally ) and asks why they followed him , but Bartz is unable to articulate his reasons . They reach Moogle Village and are picked up by Krile and her wind drake who take them to the Castle of Bal where Bartz is shocked to discover Galuf is a king . Krile ' s wind drake is dying after the battle and its long flight , and the only place dragon grass grows in is Drakenvale , a place where none are said to have survived . Although the others are disheartened , Bartz proclaims they ' ll be the first . While searching for dragon grass the party crosses the town of Quelb and meets Kelger Vlondett who questions their loyalties and challenges Bartz to a fight . Bartz repels Kelger ' s Lupine Attack and explains his father , Dorgann , trained him . Galuf and Kelger are shocked and reveal that Dorgann , along with themselves and King Xezat , were the Warriors of Dawn who sealed Exdeath and that Dorgann had refused to return after forcing such an evil onto another world . Although Dorgann and Stella never told Bartz so as not to burden him , Bartz wound up following in his footsteps anyway . The party is summoned by the sage Ghido and try to visit him , but Exdeath sinks Ghido ' s island . The party is picked up by Xezat ' s fleet and join him in destroying the Barrier Tower . Xezat becomes trapped in the lowest level and tells the party to escape without him as the tower falls , and Bartz is forced to knock Galuf unconscious to get him out . With the submarine used to infiltrate the tower , they find Ghido ' s lair in a now - underwater cavern . Finding a turtle inside , Bartz pokes it until it speaks up , revealing itself to be the sage . Bartz apologizes but Ghido keeps mocking him . He tells the warriors to head for the Great Forest of Moore that Exdeath seems to be interested in . As they enter the Guardian Tree , Exdeath forces the Crystal seals to attack the party so that they will destroy them for him . The Crystals released , Exdeath attacks the party with their power . Krile arrives and tries to stop him , but she falls to his magic . Galuf fights Exdeath with the last of his strength , forcing the warlock to retreat . Although the party tries to heal him , Galuf dies and passes on his status as a Light Warrior and the skills he ' d acquired from the Crystals to his granddaughter . The new party rushes to Castle Exdeath , but Exdeath taunts them for fighting without even knowing what his plans are . Although they seem to defeat him , Exdeath shatters the Crystals . The party blacks out and mysteriously finds themselves back at Castle Tycoon . Faris is welcomed back as the long - lost Princess Sarisa and a grand ball is held to celebrate her and Lenna ' s return . During the festivities Krile ducks out and Bartz follows to check on her . When she tells him that Galuf ' s spirit is telling her to hurry , Bartz decides to investigate . They leave the princesses behind and Bartz seeks out Boko and finds him not just healed , but married to a chocobo named Koko with eggs on the way . Bartz gives Boko his hearty congratulations and the three of them continue , but fall into a pit created by an Antlion and are rescued by Faris after promising they ' ll never leave her behind again . They find Ghido upended in his cave who explains the two worlds have merged to one . The worlds were split to seal the Void , a destructive power of unknown origin , a thousand years ago , and that is what Exdeath seeks . Exdeath appears before them and although Bartz and Faris try to fight him , only Ghido can match him , but it ' s not enough to stop Exdeath from using the power of the Void . He consumes Tycoon Castle with Lenna still inside . On their way to seek the first tablet to unlock the the legendary Sealed Weapons to gain the strength to face Exdeath , the party passes the Guardian Tree and pauses to mourn the people they ' ve lost . They resolve to defeat Exdeath and not allow any more sacrifices to be made . After retrieving the tablet from the Pyramid of Moore they find Lenna being possessed by Melusine , a demon of the rift that forces her to attack them . Turns out Lenna was saved from the Void by her wind drake , and after Hiryu frees her from possession Bartz , Faris , and Krile destroy the demon and Lenna joins them . As soon as they board their airship Exdeath attacks with the Void worldwide and consumes Lix and several other places . At the sight of his hometown being sucked into a black hole Bartz flies into a rage and pushes the airship to its limits and nearly destroys it until the others calm him down . After collecting the twelve Sealed Weapons Bartz , Lenna , Faris and Krile enter the Interdimensional Rift where they fight Exdeath , aided by the spirits of King Tycoon and the Dawn Warriors . Though the Void transforms him into Neo Exdeath , the Light Warriors prevail . The Crystals reform and the places taken by the Void are restored . Bartz resumes his wandering lifestyle and a year later , he reunites with the others at the Guardian Tree where they resolve to continue protecting the Crystals as Light Warriors . Gameplay . Bartz will be the most available playable character , so the player may make him the primary damage dealer with physical jobs , such as Knight , Monk , or Gladiator .

Bartz has made key guest appearances in the following non - " Final Fantasy " games : Etymology . Bartz is the pet name for Bartolomäus , the German form of Bartholomew . Though originally envisioned to be romanized as " Butz , " Bartz ' s name has never been romanized as such in an official localization of " Final Fantasy V " , and in the past , it was only romanized for the 1992 official strategy guide in Japan . English localizations have changed the romanization to " Bartz , " likely because Butz is a homophone of " butts . " In the English version of " Final Fantasy : Legend of the Crystals " he is referred to as " Batz , " another transliteration of his Japanese name . Butz is an existing German surname that emerged in medieval times as one of the notable families in Austria .

changing history
|
Alternate timeline ( Father ' s Day ) In an alternate timeline , Peter Tyler never died in a car crash . Instead , his daughter , Rose Tyler , used the Ninth Doctor ' s TARDIS to go back in time and save his life . ( TV : " Father ' s Day " ) History . Witnessing the event . Initially , Rose asked the Doctor to take her back to the day that Pete died , 7 November 1987 , so she could be there with him , given no one was until the ambulance arrived , by which time he had already died . The Ninth Doctor agreed . The pair witnessed as Pete exited his car and was run over by a young driver , who quickly sped away in panic . However , Rose was distraught at witnessing the event , running away , unable to will herself to be with him . She confessed her regret to the Doctor , desiring to try again . ( TV : " Father ' s Day " ) Interfering . Reluctantly , the Doctor took Rose back to when her father died one more time . They waited out of sight from their past selves , who were still witnessing the event . The Doctor informed Rose they could not risk another return and must wait for their past selves to run off before Rose could intervene . However , Rose impulsively ran out , in front of her past self and saved her father ' s life , pushing him out of the way . The effect of such a change caused the Doctor and Rose ' s past selves to disappear . Rose and the Doctor then accompanied Pete into his house . Once alone , the Doctor chided Rose for her actions , remarking that her change to time would lead to catastrophic results . He eventually left , claiming he was leaving her there . Angered , Rose dismissed his threat and spent the day with her father , getting ready for the wedding he was meant to go to had he not died . They arrived at the wedding , where the guests present revealed they had lost contact with others meant to come . People around the world began to mysteriously vanish . In a park , a young Mickey Smith fled after the other children also disappeared . Rose and others found their phones would only repeat the same message over and over when they tried to ring people : " Watson , come here , I need you , " the very first thing said over a telephone by Alexander Graham Bell . The Doctor , upon returning to his TARDIS , found the interior had been taken out of time . Realising what was occurring , he raced to the church . Rose also met her mother , Jackie Tyler , and her younger self , discovering her parents ' marriage was not as idyllic as her mother made her to believe . The Doctor arrived shortly after , saving Rose from a Reaper . The guests fled into the church , as its age acted as a shield against the reapers . However , it wouldn ' t last as the Reapers gained more power as they consumed more people . The Doctor guessed the only survivors on Earth were people like them in similar old buildings . Over time , the Doctor revealed to Rose that saving her father had enabled the Reapers to infest reality , where they would cleanse it of everything to fill in the void made by her saving Pete . However , he refused to let Pete die again , attempting to save everyone by using his TARDIS key to pull the TARDIS back into their timeline . However Rose accidentally touched her younger self , enabling a Reaper to enter the church . The Doctor then sacrificed himself and his TARDIS to destroy the Reaper , their last hope lost . The Reapers eventually consumed the whole world . ( TV : " Father ' s Day " ) Negation . Later , Pete noticed the car from earlier that day was stuck in a time loop , driving round the church only to vanish . He figured out that the only way to restore the timeline was to allow the car to run him over . He told Rose , having understood the Doctor had figured it out also , but tried to find another solution to spare Rose losing her father again . After saying goodbye to Rose and Jackie , Pete ran out into the road , avoiding the Reapers and allowed the car to kill him . As such , a new timeline was created . This time , Rose was by her father as he died , outside the church rather than his house . The driver stayed in the new timeline , allowing everyone to know who he was . ( TV : " Father ' s Day " ) Rose later told Jackie she changed history so she was at her father ' s side as he died , rather than not so as originally occurred , in an effort to prove to her mother how wonderful the Doctor was .

Australian contribution to the 1991 Gulf War Australia was a member of the international coalition which contributed military forces to the 1991 Gulf War , also known as Operation Desert Storm . While the Australian forces did not see combat , they did play a significant role in enforcing the sanctions put in place against Iraq following the invasion of Kuwait , as well as other small support contributions to Operation Desert Storm .

Following the end of the war Australia deployed a medical unit on Operation Habitat to northern Iraq as part of Operation Provide Comfort . Royal Australian Navy warships were periodically deployed to the Persian Gulf to enforce sanctions against Iraq until the 2003 Invasion of Iraq . While there were proposals to deploy other units ( including an apparent US request for RF - 111 reconnaissance aircraft ) these proposals came to nothing and no Australian Army or Royal Australian Air Force combat units were deployed . While some publications suggest that the Australian Special Air Service Regiment ( SASR ) took part in the war , this is not correct ( though the SASR was brought to a higher state of readiness and a very small number of personnel on exchange to the British SAS saw action ) .

Company A , Arizona Rangers Company A , Arizona Rangers was one of the Confederate military units raised in the Confederate Arizona Territory . Origin of the Arizona Rangers . After the establishment of the Confederate Arizona Territory , Governor John Robert Baylor decided he needed to supplement existing militia companies with a regiment of Rangers like the Texas Rangers . He intended this regiment would consist of several companies of cavalry . On January 25 , 1862 , its first company , Company A , Baylor ' s Regiment of Arizona Rangers commanded by Captain Sherod Hunter , was mustered into the Confederate service at the town of Dona Ana located just north of modern Las Cruces , New Mexico . Hunter ' s Company consisted of about 75 men for the most part residents of the Confederate Territory of Arizona . They were armed with revolvers and Model 1847 smoothbore musketoon s , probably taken from Fort Fillmore after it surrendered in August 1861 . The company was enlisted for three years , or the duration of the war . They were picked for their skills and experience with the hardships of frontier life . Arizona Campaign against the California Column . On February 10 , 1862 Company A was ordered to occupy Tucson , the largest town in the western Confederate Territory of Arizona . Tucson was located on the Butterfield Overland Mail road , the only one between California and the Rio Grande and Mesilla valleys , and an ideal location for an advanced post to observe and delay the advance of Union forces gathering under Col . James Henry Carleton at Fort Yuma . By taking possession of Tucson , Baylor would also protect the citizens and secure the Confederate claim to possession of western Arizona , which had been abandoned by Union troops in 1861 . Company A arrived in Tucson on February 27 . The invasion of Arizona by the California Column would have come much sooner but for the tactics of Captain Hunter and Company A . At White ' s Mills , near the Pima Villages , about twenty miles south of present Phoenix , Captain Hunter captured without firing a shot , a scouting party of nine men of Company A , 1st Regiment California Volunteer Cavalry under Captain William McCleave . Following their surprise of McCleave they destroyed caches of hay stored at the Butterfield stage stations along the barren route from Fort Yuma to the Gila River . At the villages of the Pima Indians on the Gila River , ( about 30 miles south of present - day Phoenix , Arizona ) , Hunter also discovered 1 , 500 sacks of flour from wheat purchased from the Pima by federal purchase agent Ammi M . White . It had been ground into flour and stored in his mill in anticipation of the advance of the Union forces . Hunter ' s men arrested White , disabled the mill and confiscated the flour . However , because of insufficient transport Hunter could not remove the flour , so Sherod gave it back to the Pima for them to use . When news of the capture of McCleave got back to Fort Yuma , a larger force under Captain William Calloway was sent along the same route with orders to find and free Captain McCleave and his men . Calloway ' s force clashed with Elements of Company A burning hay at Stanwix Station and after a brief skirmish , the Arizona Rangers retreated to Tucson . Afterward Calloway reached the Pima Villages , the main supply point between Fort Yuma and Tucson and after a short rest , set out toward Tucson . As they approached Picacho Pass , Indian scouts brought in information that Confederate pickets were just ahead . Lieutenant James Barrett and a small group of his Company A , First Cavalry were ordered to make a wide detour to strike them on the flank , while Calloway would make a frontal attack with the main party . In the following Battle of Picacho Pass the Barret ' s California cavalry engaged alone and suffered defeat in a brisk engagement . The Confederates watched the California cavalry retreat , then they fell back to Tucson , to warn Tucson ' s garrison of the approaching Union army . Captain Calloway returned to the Pima Villages and started work on a permanent camp , throwing up earth works around the flour mill of Ammi White , who had been taken away with McCleve to Mesilla by the rebels a few weeks before . This earth work was named " Fort Barrett " in honor of their comrade . Confiscation of the wheat and burning of hay now forced a halt at the villages while new supplies were gathered . It required several weeks for the main elements of the " Column " to get to Pima Villages , due to the time needed to gather more hay along the route . Further delay occurred because only detachments of less than four companies could move over the desert routes within twenty - four hours of each other , due to the scarcity of water . The net effect of the Arizona Rangers ' actions was to delay the advance of the California Column for over a month , which probably saved the Confederate Army of New Mexico , now retreating back to Mesilla from its defeat at the Battle of Glorietta Pass from being intercepted and destroyed by the California Column during April 1862 . After the battle at Picacho Pass , Captain Hunter wrote to Governor Baylor , requesting a reinforcement of at least 250 men , with which he felt he could hold Tucson . When no reinforcements were forthcoming , Hunter decided to evacuate Tucson . Company A left Tucson on May 14 , leaving behind a small detachment under the command of Lieutenant Tevis to watch for the approach of Union forces . Unknown to the Confederates , on that same day , the Union California Column finally left its bivouac at the Pima Villages for its final advance on Tucson . On May 15 , Colonel West and his advance California detachment moved out of the Pima Villages for Tucson , going through Rattlesnake Springs to old Fort Breckenridge , and camped that night in the " Canyon de Oro " . The next day , May 19 , a short march of fifteen miles was made , and the party camped within ten miles of Tucson . Early on the morning of the 20th , the command moved forward until it arrived within two miles of the town . Captain Emil Fritz , Company B , 1st Cavalry , was ordered take his first platoon to make a detour and come in on the east side of the town ; the second platoon , under Juan Francisco Guirado , was to charge in on the north side , while the four companies of infantry were to come in on the road from the west . Lieutenant Tevis and his detachment were surprised and almost captured when the Yankee cavalry charged into town on May 20 . The three California columns arrived at the plaza at the same moment , the cavalry at the charge and the infantry at the double quick , but found no enemy . Tevis and his men had managed to escape , and rejoined the main body of Company A a few days later . During the retreat to Messilla , Company A clashed twice with the Apache . First , in the Battle of Dragoon Springs , where four of its soldiers were killed and some of its stock were lost . In the Second Battle of Dragoon Springs they had the best of the encounter . With the Army of New Mexico and the Sibley Brigade . After Hunter ' s Company A retreated from Tucson and arrived in Mesilla on May 27 , 1862 , it was organized with two Arizona militia companies , the Arizona Guards of Pinos Altos and the Arizona Rangers of Mesilla , under Herbert ' s Battalion of Arizona Cavalry under the command of Lt . Colonel Philemon T . Herbert . It served as rearguard to the remnants of the Army of New Mexico as it withdrew from El Paso to San Antonio , in July 1862 . After their arrival in San Antonio , Herbert ’ s Battalion was formally assigned to the " Sibley Brigade " , the name given the former Army of New Mexico . Colonel Thomas Green was in command in place of Brigadier General Henry Hopkins Sibley , who was away in Richmond until December , 1862 . On October 2 , 1862 , Sherod Hunter was promoted Major and joined Second Cavalry Regiment , Arizona Brigade under Colonel George Wythe Baylor . First Lieutenant Robert L . Swope , was promoted to Captain and assumed command of the Company A . On December 2 , 1862 , General Sibley was ordered to New Iberia , Louisiana , to take over command of his Brigade . On December 25 he found that most of the Brigade had been ordered to Galveston but Herbert ’ s Battalion was there in Louisiana actively scouting in the vicinity of Plaquemine and the Mississippi River . In February 1863 , shortly after the arrival of the Sibley Brigade in Louisiana , Captain Robert L . Swope resigned as commander of Company A . First Lieutenant James Henry Tevis took command , but was not promoted to the rank of Captain at the time . In April 1863 , the Sibley Brigade including Herbert ’ s Arizona Battalion was among the men with which General Taylor confronted the Yankee army under General Nathaniel Banks at Fort Bisland , on the Bayou Teche . The Battle of Fort Bisland was a defeat for the Confederates , and General Taylor ordered a retreat . General Sibley , in command of the rear guard , nearly lost his command at Franklin , Louisiana , when he ordered the last bridge across the Bayou burned before his men had made their escape . Fortunately they saw the flames behind them and quickly disengaged and fled across the bridge before it was fully engulfed in flames . Sibley was court - martialed for this and removed from command of the Brigade . Colonel Thomas Green , who had led the brigade previously , was promoted to Brigadier General and placed in command of the Brigade . Arizona Scout Company in Arkansas , Louisiana , Texas . By the end of May 1863 the Arizona Battalion had been reduced by losses and it was broken up . Company A still had enough men to continue as a viable company , and was kept in being but renamed as the independent Arizona Scout Company , attached to Green ' s Brigade . The other two companies of the Battalion were disbanded and the men consolidated with those of Company A to form the Arizona Scout Company . In June 1863 the Scouts participated in the Bayou Teche Campaign . The surrender of the Confederate bastion at Port Hudson , Louisiana in July 1863 led to the retreat of Green ' s Brigade to the region of Shreveport , Louisiana . In November 1863 , the Arizona Scouts fought with Green ' s Brigade against a Union invasion up the Bayou Teche . In early December 1863 the brigade was recalled to Texas , in response to a threatened assault on Galveston which never materialized . In late December 1863 , while near Galveston , the Second and Third Texas - Arizona Cavalry Regiments were re - assigned to the Texas Cavalry Brigade commanded by Brigadier General James Patrick Major and the Scouts were assigned to that brigade also , However in February 1864 , the Arizona Scouts were among the companies detached from Texas Cavalry Brigade to form a Scouting Battalion under the command of Major William Saufley . Captain Tevis ’ s Arizona Scout Company became Company E of the Battalion . During January and February 1864 the company operated as part of a command under Colonel James Duff 33rd Texas Cavalry near Indianola , Texas .

Bangladesh Armed Forces The Bangladesh Armed Forces ( ) consists of the three uniformed military services of Bangladesh : the Bangladesh Army , the Bangladesh Navy and the Bangladesh Air Force . The para - military Border Guard Bangladesh and Bangladesh Coast Guard are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Home Affairs during peacetime , but during wartime they fall under the command of Bangladesh Army and Bangladesh Navy respectively . The President of Bangladesh is the Commander - in - chief of the military , the Ministry of Defence ( MoD ) is the principal administrative organization by which military policy is formulated and executed . The MoD is headed by the Minister of Defence , a civilian and member of cabinet ; the post is usually held by the Prime Minister of Bangladesh , who also serves as the President ' s second - in - command of the military . To coordinate military policy with diplomacy both the President and the Prime Minister are advised by a six - member advisory board , three Chiefs of Staff , which includes the head of each of the regular services , Principal Staff Officer of the Armed Forces Division , and Military Secretaries to the President and the Prime Minister . The Director Generals of the NSI , the DGFI and the BGB also serve in an advisory capacity . The " Armed Forces Day " is observed on 21 November . Official functions are held at " Bangabhaban " , Dhaka , " Armed Forces Division Head Quarter " , Dhaka Cantonment , and at every military installation throughout the country . History of Bangladesh Armed Forces . Bangladesh Liberation War . The modern history of the Bangladesh military began its inception on the night of 25 March 1971 and in its twilight hours when Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was arrested and flown to West Pakistan . On 26 March 1971 evening Major Ziaur Rahman broadcast the official declaration of Independence of Bangladesh on behalf of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman from the captured Kalurghat radio station in Chittagong . Hence the Independence day of Bangladesh is 26 March . On 4 April 1971 under the command and leadership of the C - in - C Colonel M . A . G . Osmani ( retd ) , it began organization and creation with the title of Bangladesh Forces . During the first Bangladesh Sector Commanders Conference ( held during 11 – 17 July 1971 ) Bangladesh Forces were organized and formed for the ongoing Bangladesh War of Independence from Pakistan . It was significant in the sense that during this historic conference the Bangladesh Forces field command structure , sector reorganization , reinforcement , appointment of field commanders and tactics of warfare were decided upon and carried out . This conference was presided over jointly by the then Prime Minister of Bangladesh Mr . Tajuddin Ahmed and Banga Bir Colonel M . A . G . Osmani Commander in Chief of all Bangladesh Forces . During this conference Muhammad Ataul Gani Osmani was reinstated from retirement to active duty into the Armed Forces of Bangladesh as its senior most official , with the rank of Colonel reactivated . Principal participants of this conference were Principal Military Representative of Bangladesh Government - in - Exile at Chakulia Guerilla Training Camp ( Bihar ) Squadron Leader M . Hamidullah Khan , BDF Commander Sector 1 Major Ziaur Rahman , BDF Commander Sector 2 Major Khaled Mosharraf , BDF Commander Sector 3 Major K M Shafiullah , BDF Commander Sector 4 Major C R Datta , Major M . A . Jalil , Captain Rafiqul Islam , Lt . Col . Abdur Rab , Wing Commander Khademul Bashar , Major Najmul Haque , Major Mir Shawkat Ali . Lt . Col . Abdur Rab was appointed as Chief of Staff , Bangladesh Army . However , throughout the entire duration of the war Lt . Col . Rab remained in Tripura . During early August at the behest of the Indian authorities Colonel Osmani unwillingly appointed Group Captain A . K . Khandker as Deputy Chief of Staff ( Army – Liaison ) in place of Group Captain Muhammad Ghulam Tawab , whom Osmani wanted to appoint as his Deputy Commander - in - Chief . Bangladesh was divided into Eleven Sectors under Sector Commanders . For better management of military operations each sector was divided into a combination of sub - sectors , commanded by a Sub - Sector Commander . The 10th Sector was kept under the direct command of the Commander in Chief and included the Naval Commandos as C - in - C ’ s special operations force . These commandos were later absorbed into the Bangladesh Navy . The Bangladesh Forces received tightly measured assistance from the meager resources of the Indian authorities soon after hostilities broke out . The Soviet Union and the U . S . were also keen to play Cold War politics in the region . The U . S . policy guided by then U . S . National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger was courting Pakistan to open ties with China , hence could not support the Bangladesh struggle for independence . However , Nixon ' s policy did supply emergency relief assistance to India and huge amount of military and financial aid to Pakistan . The USSR decided to assist India , eventually supported and immensely strengthened Indian efforts against Pakistan . Bangladesh ' s independence struggle gained from this assistance after India initially decided to support the official Bangladesh government and BD Forces , but also tacitly trained and supplied pro - Indian militia ' s Mujib Bahini , Hemayet Bahini and Kaderia Bahini with planning , training and arms under the direction and guidance of RAW chief R . N . Kao and SFF Inspector General Major General Sujat Singh Uban . The support to BD Forces culminated under the security umbrella provided by the Indo - Soviet Friendship Treaty of August 1971 . On 21 November 1971 , when the natural climate was dry and more adaptable and by which time the Bangladesh Forces had severely weakened the strength of the West Pakistani Forces through its guerilla operations , under a complicated politico - military scenario , a demand of the Indian government was conceded to by the Bangladesh Government - in - exile in Calcutta , which was handing over the full command and authority of its operations to the Indian armed forces . The Pakistani force had already suffered massive casualty from constant attacks by the BD Forces and was on the verge of collapse , they readily agreed to a cease fire without resistance in about one and a half weeks , on 16 December 1971 . However , the cease fire was switched into a surrender document . The Bangladesh Forces C - in - C Colonel M . A . G . Osmani and almost every member of the Bangladesh Forces , Sector Commanders who organised and led the war including Brigade S , K , and Z Force Commanders were barred from attending . No ambassadors , or other diplomats , the press , civilian representatives were invited to attend . Group Captain A . K . Khandker , the lone BD Forces non combatant staff member , managed to tag along with the Indian entourage and witnessed the show and returned to Kalyani , Calcutta , back on the same day with them . K M Shafiullah , S Force commander , and a handful of others were also among the hundreds of local masses who surrounded the event from a distance . " No protocol was set on what they were supposed to do " . A fact Shafiullah admitted himself . " We rushed to the Race Course from the airport . I was quite near the signing table . But we were not sure what we were supposed to do . That ' s why I do not appear in any of the photographs . There was rejoicing all around by many Bangladesh citizens . Niazi was put on a jeep and sent away . Aurora and J . F . R . Jacob left the premise and immediately flew back after the signing . That night I did not come across anyone . " " - Major General Shafiullah spoke to Kaushik Sankar Das " . Victory was declared by the Indian authorities . All 93 , 000 prisoners of war and massive amount of captured war materials were taken to India . Colonel Osmani and a few sector commanders arrived in Dhaka a day later , and set up the former Pakistan Army 14 Div HQ ' s , w . e . f 17 December 1971 , as BD Forces Command Head Quarters , at Dhaka Cantonment which remained operational until 14 February 1972 . All closures and accounts were conducted from Osmani ' s C - in - C HQ at Dhaka Cantonment . Group Captain Muhammad Ghulam Tawab was appointed Osmani ' s first Deputy Commander in Chief after being able to return from Bangkok , Thailand on 17 December 1971 . General Osmani and his deputy Group Captain Muhammad Ghulam Tawab remanied in command of BD Forces until 7 April 1972 . However , due to internal politics conspired and spearheaded by Group Captain A . K . Khandker and members of the Awami League who resurfaced from Calcutta , India , almost more than a month after the war ended , managed to remove Tawab entirely from service in Bangladesh government . Bangladesh Forces were ordered on 29 January 1972 for demobilization of all sectors by end of February under the direction of the newly Indian army installed Mujib government . General M . A . G Osmani held the final Sector Commanders Conference at the old Police HQ at 27 Mintu Road , Dhaka . The famous Bangladesh Forces Command Group photograph was taken on that day . All sectors were abruptly shut down . No official accounts of war wounded , gallantry investigations , or weapons collection were done . Independent Bangladesh remained under Indian army occupation and total control for another three months after the war , with an ICS and an Indian army official in every official entity of the Bangladesh government . Quickly realising this as a critical situation , Sheikh Mujibur Rahman made a unilateral public demand to Indira Gandhi regarding the absolute , unconditional , and unequivocal withdrawal of all Indian officials and forces from Bangladesh . U . S . President Nixon also made clear to the Indians that they must leave Bangladesh . India withdrew its personnel within 2 days 17 to 19 March 1972 . The Bangladesh Forces was organized for War of Independence in 1971 under 11 ( eleven ) sectors and subsequently into three brigade size commands . < br > BDF HQQ ' s 8 Theatre Road , Calcutta , India . < br > Prime Minister : Mr .

The Bangladeshi Forces fully structured by September 1971 , organised itself officially as the Bangladesh Armed Forces comprising Bangladesh Army , Bangladesh Navy and Bangladesh Air Force . The current strength of Bangladesh Army is estimated to be more than 250 , 000 + personnel , while Bangladesh Air Force consists of more than 24 , 000 personnel and Bangladesh Navy with 18 , 000 personnel . The forces perform traditional military missions . The Bangladesh Coast Guard under the Home Ministry , plays a stronger role in the area of anti - smuggling , anti - piracy , and protection of offshore resources . Recognition of economic and fiscal constraints has led to the establishment of several paramilitary and auxiliary forces , including the 67 , 000 member Border Guard Bangladesh and the 4 , 000 member Ansars and Village Defence Parties Organization . The Border Guards Bangladesh , under the Home Ministry , are commanded by army officers who are seconded to the organization . In addition to traditional defence roles , the military has been called on to provide support to civil authorities for disaster relief and internal security . The military of Bangladesh fought tribal insurgents in Chittagong Hill Tracts since mid - 1970s . In November 2008 , Bangladesh Navy effectively staved off economic aggression by Myanmar in the seas of Bangladesh . Occasionally the military forces have been called to participate in social activities like rehabilitation of people following a flood or cyclone .

The Bangladesh military is recognized as a disciplined and well - trained national institution that can tackle critical national phases . A 2 , 300 - member Bangladesh Army contingent served with coalition forces during the 1991 Gulf war .

Fred ( Transit ) Fred , as he was labelled by the Seventh Doctor , was the king of an alternate dimension traversed by the Sol Transit System . Fred was the ruler of a " standalone dimension " separate from the universe and complete with its own laws of physics . When the Sol Transit System was built , its utilisation of interstitial travelling techniques to traverse the dimensions inadvertently went too far , going off into uncharted territories , providing him with a pathway into its dimension .

Aliases of the Doctor Throughout their travels in time and space , the Doctor took on and was called by a number of different aliases , titles and names . Some were fleeting . Others , like John Smith , were used by almost all of their incarnations . The Doctor ’ s incarnations told few individuals their real name . Instead , they asked others to call them simply , the Doctor . The Doctor ' s real name . As the Time Lord ' s true name was not generally known , " the Doctor " ( or " Doctor Who " ) became an alias . It was implied that his given name was ceremoniously withdrawn and stricken by his Cousins as punishment for a disgrace he brought upon his House . ( PROSE : " Lungbarrow " ) Even when put on trial by the Time Lord s , he was only referred to as " the Doctor " , ( TV : " The War Games " ) although the Valeyard , a culmination of the Doctor ' s darker side who prosecuted the second trial , acknowledged that this was an alias . ( TV : " The Mysterious Planet " ) Even those who had known him in childhood addressed him only as " the Doctor " , such as the Master , ( TV : " Death in Heaven " ) and the Rani . ( COMIC : " Weapons of Past Destruction " ) When the Fifth Doctor was officially inducted as Lord President , he declared that it was " out of the question " for him to be introduced by his true name , stating that he would accept being introduced as ' Lord President Doctor ' ( AUDIO : " Time in Office " ) . According to one account , during their first incarnation , the Doctor adopted this name in dealing with human colonists on the planet Iwa at the same time that his granddaughter adopted the name " Susan " . ( PROSE : " Frayed " ) Another account implied that the Doctor ' s title had been chosen as a Gallifreyan custom , ( TV : " The Sound of Drums " ) and that he had been using it before he left Gallifrey . ( TV : " The Name of the Doctor " ) The Doctor ' s real name has been said to be difficult to pronounce , for human s at least , ( AUDIO : " Slipback " ) and certainly for adults , ( TV : " Twice Upon a Time " ) possessing thirty eight syllables . ( PROSE : " Sleepy " ) The First Doctor once told an interrogator he " wouldn ' t be able to pronounce the first syllable of [ his name ] . " ( PROSE : " Salvation " ) His seventh incarnation likewise told one of his captors that he " doubt [ ed ] [ they ] ' d be able to pronounce the name [ he ] was originally given . " ( PROSE : " Illegal Alien " ) When asked about the Doctor ' s name , Peri Brown once said that the Doctor had told her she would find it unpronounceable . ( AUDIO : " Slipback " ) The Doctor kept their true name hidden despite numerous " mind - probe " attempts and the effect of a truth field . ( TV : " The Girl in the Fireplace " , " The Time of the Doctor " ) The Carrionite Lilith , unable to discover the Tenth Doctor ' s true name even with the " witchcraft " used by her kind , remarked , " There is no name , " and that the Doctor was hiding his true name in despair . ( TV : " The Shakespeare Code " ) The psychically - gifted Evelina , who attempted to foretell the Doctor ' s future , remarked that his " true name " was " hidden " from her . ( TV : " The Fires of Pompeii " ) Moments before regenerating into the Thirteenth Doctor , the Twelfth Doctor told his future self that they " mustn ' t tell anyone your name " , before noting " they wouldn ' t understand it anyway . " He acknowledged , however , that " children can hear it , sometimes . If their hearts are in the right place , and the stars are too . Children can hear your name . But nobody else , nobody else ever . " ( TV : " Twice Upon a Time " ) Significance . The Eleventh Doctor told Clara Oswald that his real name was not important , since he specifically chose the title of " Doctor " to take its place , saying it was " like a promise you make . " ( TV : " The Name of the Doctor " ) This promise was , as recited by the Tenth and War Doctor s ; " Never cruel or cowardly . Never give up , never give in . " ( TV : " The Day of the Doctor " ) Despite their hatred of the War Doctor ' s actions , ( TV : " The Name of the Doctor " ) both the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors admitted " [ he ] was the Doctor more than [ any of them ] . " ( TV : " The Day of the Doctor " ) When Clara was forced to take on his role for him , the Twelfth Doctor told her that " goodness has nothing to do with [ being a Doctor ] " . ( TV : " Flatline " ) The Doctor considered abandoning his name if he felt he had to do something highly immoral ( TV : " The Beast Below " , " Face the Raven " ) The Doctor went by the title of Warrior during the Time War , but proudly called himself the Doctor once he discovered the true outcome of the War . ( TV : " The Day of the Doctor " ) According to Dorium Maldovar , the Silence had a particular interest in the Doctor ' s name . He explained that if the Doctor lived long enough , " on the fields of Trenzalore , at the fall of the Eleventh , [ when ] no creature could speak falsely or fail to answer " , a question that must never be answered would be asked : " Doctor Who ? " . The Silence wanted to stop the Doctor from revealing his true name . ( TV : " The Wedding of River Song " ) The Doctor was at a later time forced to go to Trenzalore to rescue his friends from the Great Intelligence , which sought to gain access to the Doctor ' s tomb . The tomb , which was a future version of his own dying TARDIS , would open only to the Doctor ' s real name . The Intelligence threatened to kill Clara Oswald and the Paternoster Gang if he did not speak his name and open the tomb ; the situation was resolved when the data ghost of River Song was able to silently transmit his name to the TARDIS , thus opening the door for the Great Intelligence . ( TV : " The Name of the Doctor " ) The Doctor ' s real name became important during the Siege of Trenzalore , as it was the signal chosen by the Time Lords to come back to the universe , broadcasting the question ' Doctor Who ? ' through a crack in reality , simultaneously broadcasting a Truth Field so that they could be sure that it was truly the Doctor responding to them . Despite this , when the Doctor was facing death , Clara told the Time Lords through the Crack that the only name of his that mattered was " the Doctor " and everything he stood for under that name , prompting them to give the Doctor a new regeneration cycle at the cost of closing the crack . ( TV : " The Time of the Doctor " ) After meeting his twelfth incarnation , the First Doctor was confronted by the mysterious Testimony Foundation , who claimed that the Doctor was the " Doctor of War " . Although the First Doctor initially feared this interpretation of his future , after witnessing his future self ' s efforts to save Captain Archibald Hamish Lethbridge - Stewart , he came to conclude that the " Doctor of War " was not a man who reveled in war , but a man who sought the moments of peace that existed amid open warfare , and who would always try to find another way to end war , and to find resolution , rather than resorting to bloodshed . ( TV : " Twice Upon a Time " ) Ubiquity of the title . The Doctor did possess at least one doctorate . ( TV : " The Moonbase " , " The Armageddon Factor " , " The Mysterious Planet " ) They sometimes described themselves as a " doctor of many things " ( TV : " Four to Doomsday " ) or of " everything " . ( TV : " Spearhead from Space " , " Utopia " ) However , their knowledge was limited to anything prior to the Rassilon Era . ( TV : " Utopia " ) The Eleventh Doctor claimed that one of his doctorates was in cheesemaking , ( TV : " The God Complex " ) but only the " stinky , blue kind " . ( PROSE : " Shroud of Sorrow " ) On several occasions , the Doctor stated they were not a medical doctor , ( TV : " The Forest of Fear " , " Mighty Kublai Khan " ) though did note that , by their second incarnation , he had studied medicine in the 19th century , ( TV : " The Moonbase " ) although the Twelfth Doctor claimed to have graduated in the wrong century .

( PROSE : " Ghost of Christmas Past " ) The Sixth Doctor told his dance instructor , Becky , his name . ( PROSE : " Teach Yourself Ballroom Dancing " ) The Eighth Doctor ' s companion , Samantha Jones , overheard his real name being said . She found it quite alien and virtually unpronounceable . ( PROSE : " Vanderdeken ' s Children " ) When the Tenth Doctor first encountered her , River Song claimed to have known him at some point in his future , ( TV : " Silence in the Library " ) and , to prove her " credentials " , she whispered his name in his ear , and apologised for having to do so . The Doctor was shocked at this , as " there [ was ] only one reason [ he ] would ever tell anyone [ his ] name , [ and ] only one time [ he ] could . " ( TV : " Forest of the Dead " ) River indicated to Clara Oswald that she " made " the Doctor tell her his name and that " it took a lot of effort " . ( TV : " The Name of the Doctor " ) Near the end of his tenth incarnation , despite believing there was no one left in the universe who knew it , the Doctor encountered members of an unidentified pan - dimensional race that knew his real name . ( AUDIO : " The Last Voyage " ) While separated from the Eleventh Doctor , Clara Oswald read his name in " The History of the Time War " . That timeline was later averted , however , leaving her with no memory of it , ( TV : " Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS " ) though she later began to recall certain moments of the timeline , ( TV : " The Name of the Doctor " ) and claimed to know the Doctor ' s name when bluffing to the Cybermen about being the Doctor . ( TV : " Death in Heaven " ) Commonly used aliases . John Smith . John Smith was an alias the Doctor frequently used on Earth and around human s when a " standard " name was needed . It was often preceded by the title " Doctor " , though not always — for example , when he was undercover as a teacher at a school or a patient in a hospital . ( TV : " School Reunion " , " Smith and Jones " ) As " John Smith " was considered a generic name in some Earth cultures , the Doctor ' s use of the alias was occasionally treated with scepticism . ( TV : " Midnight " ) During their first incarnation , the Doctor used a library card with the name Dr J . Smith while living at 76 Totter ' s Lane , ( TV : " The Vampires of Venice " ) as well as for identification when renting the junkyard . ( PROSE : " The Rag & Bone Man ' s Story " ) The inspiration for the alias was John Smith of John Smith and the Common Men , with which he was familiar through Susan . ( PROSE : " The Witch Hunters " ) In their second incarnation , the name was independently used by his companion Jamie McCrimmon while the Doctor was being treated for concussion , as he saw it being used as a brand name on a metal container . ( TV : " The Wheel in Space " ) Likewise , Chang Lee chose to register the name for the Seventh Doctor while he was en route to get his bullet wounds healed . ( TV : " Doctor Who " ) The Doctor adopted it on a semi - regular basis during their third incarnation while exiled on Earth , when he served as unpaid scientific advisor to UNIT . ( TV : " Spearhead from Space " , " Inferno " , " The Time Warrior " ) The Doctor twice changed himself into a human who used the name John Smith . This occurred in their seventh incarnation , ( PROSE : " Human Nature " ) and in their tenth incarnation .

( PROSE : " The Shadow in the Glass " , AUDIO : " Storm Warning " , et al . ) Doctor Who . The name " Doctor Who " was applied to the Doctor on several occasions .

" ( TV : " The Wedding of River Song " ) The version of the Doctor in the Land of Fiction was known as Dr . Who . ( PROSE : " Prelude Conundrum " , " Conundrum " , " Head Games " ) Theta Sigma . Theta Sigma , informally Thete and occasionally spelt " ΘΣ " , was a nickname of the Doctor at the Time Lord Academy on Gallifrey . ( TV : " The Armageddon Factor " , " The Happiness Patrol " ; COMIC : " Flashback " ) It identified him uniquely amongst the Time Lords and was not to be spoken outside of the Academy . ( PROSE : " Falls the Shadow " ) When the Doctor ' s final incarnation permanently died during the first battle of the War , his coffin had the symbols for " Theta " and " Sigma " on it . ( PROSE : " Alien Bodies " ) In an alternative timeline in which Rassilon failed to finish the Eye of Harmony before his death , the Doctor never left Gallifrey and became a commentator rather than a renegade Time Lord .

Jabberwock ( Crisis Core ) The Jabberwock is an enemy in " Crisis Core - Final Fantasy VII - " , one greatly resembling the Behemoth , but noticeably more savage . Jabberwock is a powerful foe , capable of hitting hard and fast with physical attacks in addition to using the Ultima spell . Costly Punch is the preferred method of dealing with this enemy ' s massive amount of HP , but if one does not have access to it , they can attempt to attack it from behind and use rolls to dodge out of the way of its physicals . Ultima can be rolled if timed perfectly ( it must be timed as the green light shows up , no sooner and no later ) , which if the player can avoid it as such , gives them plenty of time to damage the Jabberwock before having to dodge , and then give them a bit more time to still damage the foe afterwards . Keep Zack ' s HP at full before finishing the beast off , as it will use Comet 2 upon death to try and take Zack with him . The attack does roughly 3 , 000 - 5 , 000 damage .

Battle of Onderon ( Great Sith War ) The Battle of Onderon was a last - ditch effort by the Mandalorian Crusaders to secure a victory in the final stages of the Great Sith War on behalf of the Brotherhood of the Sith . Background . Following Ulic Qel - Droma ' s orders to divert the vast bulk of his Crusaders to the Onderon system , Lord Mandalore the Indomitable ' s fleet carriers took up holding orbits between the planet and its nearby moon of Dxun . Dropping down from behind the moon , the Mandalorian crusaders were first spotted by Queen Galia from her Royal Palace in the center of the walled city of Iziz . Sounding the alarm , King Oron Kira summoned the Beast Riders of Onderon ' s wilderness to meet the onrushing attack . After sending a message to the Galactic Republic requesting reinforcements , Oron and the other riders brought the fight back to the Mandalorians . The battle . In the skies of above Onderon , the Beast Riders and the Mandalorians on their Basilisk war droid s proved to be equally matched . After experiencing taunts from Oron Kira and his men , Mandalore then rallied his troops , fighting with unbridled ferocity . Just as it seemed as though the tide had turned in favor of the Mandalorians , Republic reinforcements in the form of elements of the Republic Swift Fleet commanded by Fleet Captain Vanicus arrived on the battlefront , lending critical firepower to the battle . Caught between the Republic forces and the Beast Riders , the Mandalorian forces were devastated , although Vanicus at first attempted crippling the enemy ships , a feat which proved impossible due to their deflector - shielding . The only course of action of victory or death . Calling a retreat to the moon of Dxun , Mandalore the Indomitable believed he could lose the Republic pursuit in its dense jungles . Unfortunately for Mandalore , while retreating , a Republic frigate fired upon his Basilisk war droid , and he crashed in the forests far away from the other Mandalorian troops . Rising from the wreckage , Lord Mandalore was immediately set upon by two large beasts of the moon , and was subsequently devoured . Aftermath . Initiating a full - scale search of the moon ' s jungles , the remaining Mandalorians scoured the landscape for signs of their leader , but came up empty - handed . However , one shocktrooper in particular happened across the remains of Mandalore the Indomitable ' s mask . Placing the mask on his own head , he became the next Lord Mandalore , Mandalore the Ultimate , whose legacy would affect the galaxy for decades to come .

Page Corps Page Corps ( ) ( ) was a military academy in Imperial Russia , which prepared sons of the nobility and of senior officers for military service . ( The Imperial School of Jurisprudence prepared boys for civil service ) . After the Russian Revolution the Page Corps was replaced with the Suvorov Military School . History . The Page Corps was founded in 1759 in St . Petersburg as a school for teaching and training page s and chamber pages . In light of the need for properly trained officer s for the Guard units , the Page Corps was reorganized in 1802 into an educational establishment similar to cadet schools , which would accept the sons of the hereditary nobility of Russian land , and the sons of at least Lieutenant Generals / Vice Admirals or grandsons of full Generals / Admirals . In 1802 , the curriculum of the Corps des Pages was also changed , thereafter based on the ideals of the Order of St John . In 1810 , the school was moved to the palace of the Sovereign Order of St John of Jerusalem , also known as Vorontsov Palace . It continued at this location in St . Petersburg for over one hundred years ( until the revolution ) . During the period of reforms of military schools in the 1860s , the Page Corps was turned into a seven - grade establishment , the first five grades being similar to military gymnasiums , and the other two being modelled after military colleges . Beginning in 1885 , the Page Corps had seven general classes , where students learned the same sciences offered by cadet schools , and two special classes , where they were taught military science and jurisprudence . By the 1880s , separate infantry , cavalry and artillery departments were in existence . While most graduates entered the Russian Imperial Army as officers , a minority opted for diplomatic or civil service careers . Life in the Page Corps . In common with the other Russian military schools , the Page Corps imposed a harsh regime on its cadets . Corporal punishment involved beatings with a birch for even minor offences and bullying of younger students by their seniors was common . Peter Kropotkin ' s memoirs detail the hazing and other abuse of pages for which the Corps had become notorious . However the education provided was of relatively high standard with courses in mathematics , languages , sciences , and military subjects . Court role and privileges . The students served as pages at Court and provided services at ceremonies , including attendance upon individual members of the Imperial family . Graduates from the Corps des Pages had the unique privilege of joining any regiment of their own choice regardless of the existing vacancies ( however , as a matter of etiquette , the consent of the unit ' s commander was sought long beforehand ) . They wore , on the left side of their tunic , the badge of the Corps des Pages , modeled after the cross of the Order of St John . They received the rank of podporuchik ( cornet in cavalry ) . Those who preferred employment as diplomats or officials rather than military service , would receive civil service ranks of the 10th , 12th , and 14th class . Uniform . The Corps had a range of uniforms for different purposes . The most spectacular of these was the gala uniform worn for Court functions . This comprised a spiked helmet with white plume , a dark green tunic with gold braid covering the front , white breeches and high boots . Disbandment . From its inception until 1917 , the Corps graduated 4 , 505 officers . An additional 200 were unable to complete their courses because of the revolution of 1917 . The school effectively ceased to function following the overthrow of Tsar Nicholas II in February 1917 but was finally closed in June the same year on the orders of Alexander Kerensky , War Minister of the Provisional Government .

USS Nautilus ( SS - 168 ) USS " Nautilus " ( SF - 9 / SS - 168 ) , a and one of the " V - boat s " , was the third ship of the United States Navy to bear the name . She was originally named and designated " V - 6 " ( SF - 9 ) , but was redesignated and given hull classification symbol SC - 2 on 11 February 1925 . Her keel was laid on 10 May 1927 by the Mare Island Naval Shipyard of Vallejo , California . She was launched on 15 March 1930 sponsored by Miss Joan Keesling , and commissioned on 1 July 1930 with Lieutenant Commander Thomas J . Doyle , Jr . in command . " V - 6 " operated out of New London , conducting special submergence tests , until March 1931 . She was renamed " Nautilus " on 19 February and given hull number SS - 168 on 1 July . She proceeded to Pearl Harbor where she became flagship of Submarine Division 12 ( SubDiv 12 ) . Reassigned to SubDiv 13 at San Diego , California , 1935 – 1938 , then re - homeported at Pearl Harbor , she maintained a regular schedule of training activities and fleet exercises and problems throughout the decade . In July 1941 , she entered the Mare Island Naval Shipyard for modernization — radio equipment , external torpedo tubes , re - engining ( with Winton diesels ) , and air conditioning — until the following spring . First patrol — the Battle of Midway . She departed San Francisco , California , on 21 April 1942 , reaching Pearl Harbor on 28 April . On 24 May , " Nautilus " ( commanded by Lieutenant Commander William H . Brockman , Jr . ) got underway for her first war patrol , to Midway Island to help repel the expected attack by the Japanese fleet . At 07 : 55 , 4 June , while approaching the northern boundary of her patrol area near Midway Island , she sighted masts on the horizon . Japanese planes sighted the submarine at the same time and began strafing . After diving to , she continued observation . At 08 : 00 , a formation of four enemy ships was sighted : the battleship " Kirishima " , the cruiser " Nagara " , and two destroyer s ( misidentified , as they often were early in the war , as cruisers ) in company . Within minutes the submarine was again sighted from the air and was bombed . Two of the " cruisers " closed for a kill and nine depth charge s were dropped at a distance of about . When the attack ceased , " Nautilus " rose to periscope depth . Ships surrounded her . Sighting on " Kirishima " , she fired two bow tubes ; one misfired , one missed . At 08 : 30 , a destroyer immediately headed for the boat , which dove to to wait out the depth charge attack . At 08 : 46 , periscope depth was again ordered . The cruiser and two of the destroyers were now out of range ; echo ranging by the third appeared too accurate for comfort . At 09 : 00 , the periscope was raised again and an aircraft carrier was sighted . " Nautilus " changed course to close for an attack . The enemy destroyer followed suit and at 09 : 18 attacked with six depth charges . By 09 : 55 echo ranging ceased and " Nautilus " raised her periscope . The carrier , her escorts , and the attacking destroyer had disappeared . ( Unknown to her skipper at the time , the counterattacking Japanese destroyer Arashi , in his rush to rejoin , was tracked by ' s VB - 6 , led by Wade McClusky , back to the Japanese task force . ) At 12 : 53 , a damaged aircraft carrier with two escorts was sighted . The carrier was identified as " Sōryū " , but later research suggests it was probably " Kaga " . An hour later , " Nautilus " had moved into attack position . Between 13 : 59 and 14 : 05 , after the battle was largely over , " Nautilus " launched four torpedoes at the carrier from less than . One failed to run , two ran erratically , and the fourth was a dud ( a familiar problem for the Mark XIV ) , impacting amidships and breaking in half . " Nautilus " reported flames appeared along the length of the ship as the first hit , and the skeleton crew which had been aboard ( survivors of which reported no torpedo hit ) began going over the side , with the air bottle of the dud torpedo acting as a life preserver for Japanese sailors . " Nautilus " went to as a prolonged depth charge attack commenced . At 16 : 10 , the submarine rose to periscope depth . The carrier , burning along her entire length , had been abandoned . At 19 : 41 , " Nautilus " resumed her patrol , having expended five torpedoes and survived 42 depth charges , but accomplished little of substance . ( Not until much later was the importance of her attack on the battleship , and its connection to McClusky , recognized . ) Her commanding officer was awarded a Navy Cross for his actions . Between 7 June and 9 June , " Nautilus " replenished at Midway Island and then resumed her patrol to the west . By 20 June , she was operating off Honshū at the northern end of the Tokyo - Marshall Islands supply route . On 22 June , she damaged a destroyer guarding the entrance to the Sagami Sea off Ōshima . Three days later , she sank the destroyer " Yamakaze " and damaged an oil tanker . On 27 June , she sent a sampan to the bottom and on 28 June , after damaging a merchantman , underwent her severest depth charging , which forced her back to Pearl Harbor for repairs , 11 July to 7 August . Second patrol — the Makin Raid . " Nautilus " departed Hawaiian waters for her second war patrol , a special troop transport mission of three weeks duration , 8 August . Sailing with submarine and carrying the Second Raider Battalion under Lieutenant Colonel Evans F . Carlson ( the Marine Raiders , or " Carlson ' s Raiders " ) she arrived off Makin Atoll on 16 August to stage a raid to divert Japanese attention from the Solomon Islands . Early the following morning , she sent the Raiders ashore on Butaritari Island in rubber boats rigged with outboard motors . At 07 : 03 , she provided gunfire support against enemy positions at Ukiangong Point on Butaritari and shelled enemy ships in the lagoon , sinking two , a troop barge and a patrol boat . At 10 : 39 , an enemy plane appeared and " Nautilus " dove . Two aerial attacks followed at 11 : 30 and at 12 : 55 . The latter flight was made up of 12 planes , two of which landed in the lagoon to discharge troops . About 35 of the reinforcements made it to shore to fire on the Americans . The Marines began to withdraw at 17 : 00 . At 19 : 00 , they launched their boats . Many were unable to clear the breakers without the aid of their damaged outboards . Only seven boats and less than 100 men returned that night . The remainder , less nine who were later captured and executed , discovered there were no Japanese left to fight and crossed to the lagoon side , whence they headed for the submarine after nightfall on 18 August . Thinking all surviving marines were on board , " Nautilus " and " Argonaut " set course for Pearl Harbor , arriving 25 August . 3rd – 5th patrols , September 1942 – April 1943 . On her third war patrol , from 15 September to 5 November , " Nautilus " returned to Japanese waters to join the submarine blockade chain stretched from the Kurile Islands to the Nansei Shoto . Despite heavy seas , which precluded periscope use and torpedo firing during much of the patrol , and mechanical breakdowns , which impeded approaches to targets , she torpedoed and sank three " maru " s and , in surface action , destroyed three sampans to add over 12 , 000 tons to her score . On 12 October , however , the patrol became one of her more perilous , as she took a heavy depth charging . Two days later , her crew noticed a slight oil slick in her wake . The hindering seas now protected by breaking up the trace . By 19 October , the leak had enlarged considerably and on 20 October , the first relatively calm day since the depth charging , air leaks were discovered . " Nautilus " was leaving a trail for Japanese defense patrols . Moving to a quieter area , with less aerial activity , she continued her patrol until 24 October when she sank her third " maru " of the patrol , then headed for home without sighting enemy planes . She reached Midway Island 31 October , performed temporary repairs , and continued on to Pearl Harbor . During her fourth patrol , conducted in the Solomon Islands from on 13 December 1942 to on 4 February 1943 , " Nautilus " rescued 26 adults and three children from Toep Harbor on 31 December and 1 January , then added the cargo ship " Yosinogawa Maru " to her kills and damaged a tanker , a freighter , and a destroyer . On 4 February , she arrived at Brisbane , debarked her passengers , and sailed for Pearl Harbor . Arriving 15 April , she departed five days later heading north . On 27 April , she put into Dutch Harbor , Alaska , and commenced instructing 7th Infantry Division Provisional Scout Battalion in amphibious landings . She then embarked 109 Scouts and on 1 May , headed for Attu . There , on 11 April , she landed her " passengers " five hours before the main assault . 6th – 8th patrols , September 1943 – April 1944 . Overhaul at Mare Island occupied most of the summer and on 16 September " Nautilus " left Pearl Harbor to spend her sixth war patrol conducting photo - reconnaissance of the Gilbert Islands , concentrating on Tarawa , Kuma , Butaritari , Abemama , and Makin , all of which had been reinforced , particularly Tarawa , since the sub ' s 1942 excursion into those waters . The information , including continuous panoramic pictures of the coastlines and chart corrections , which she brought back to Pearl Harbor on 17 October , proved among the most useful intelligence gathered of the area . She returned to Tarawa 18 November to obtain last - minute information on weather and surf conditions , landing hazards and the results of recent bombardments . At 21 : 59 , 19 November , mistaking her as an enemy , destroyer fired at her , sending a five - inch ( 127 mm ) shell through the conning tower , damaging the main induction valve . Diving as soon as the topography permitted , the boat was rigged for depth charge and the damage control party went to work . Within two hours repairs were sufficient to allow " Nautilus " to continue with her primary mission : landing a 78 - man scouting party , composed of 5th Amphibious Reconnaissance Company marines and an Australian scout , on Abemama . At midnight , 20 November – 21 November , " Nautilus " lay off an island in the Abemama Atoll , Kenna to discharge her passengers . By 15 : 00 , all were safely ashore . On the afternoon of 22 November , " Nautilus " provided fire support to bring the tiny ( 25 - man ) enemy garrison out of their bunkers . This proved accurate , killing 14 ; the remainder committed suicide . By the time the main assault force arrived on 26 November , Abemama had been secured and preparations to turn it into an air base for the Marshall Islands campaign had begun . " Nautilus " returned to Pearl Harbor on 4 December to prepare for her eighth war patrol . Conducted north of Palau and west of the Mariana Islands from 27 January to on 21 March 1944 , this netted one cargo ship sunk , the 6 , 070 - ton " America Maru " , with damage inflicted on three others . On 26 April , " Nautilus " sailed for Brisbane , whence she departed 29 May to begin a series of special missions in support of guerrilla and reconnaissance activities in the Philippines . 9th – 14th patrols , May 1944 – January 1945 . On her ninth patrol , from 29 May to 11 June , she carried ammunition , oil , and dry stores to Colonel R . V . Bowler on Mindanao . Between 12 June and 27 June , she transported a similar cargo to Negros Island and embarked evacuees , including one German POW , for Darwin . During her 11th patrol , from 30 June to 27 July , she landed a reconnaissance party and 12 tons of stores on North Pandan Island , and more supplies to Colonel Kangleon on Leyte and Colonel Abcede on Mindanao . Her 12th , 13th and 14th patrols , she returned to the central Philippines , landed personnel and supplies at various points on Mindanao and Luzon , and carried evacuees to Australia . On 25 September , during the first of these three patrols , she grounded on Iuisan Shoal . Forced to lighten her load , her evacuees , mail , captured documents , and cargo were sent ashore . All secret materials were burned . Her reserve fuel tanks were blown dry , variable ballast was blown overboard and six - inch ( 152 mm ) ammunition jettisoned . With the blowing of her main ballast tanks she was finally able to get off the reef within three and a half hours , despite the receding tide , and clear the area by dawn . During her 13th patrol , on 31 October 1944 , " Nautilus " finished off , which had run aground on a reef and could not be recovered . Numerous attempts to torpedo the wreck had failed as torpedoes detonated on the reef . " Nautilus ' s " six - inch ( 152 mm ) guns , however , scored 55 hits , and her report states , " It is doubtful that any equipment in " Darter " at 11 : 30 this date would be of any value to Japan — except as scrap . " " Nautilus " completed her 14th , and last , patrol at Darwin on 30 January 1945 . From Australia , she was routed on to Philadelphia , Pennsylvania , where she arrived 25 May for inactivation . Decommissioned with a bottle of champagne over the forward six - inch ( 152 mm ) gun on 30 June , she was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register 25 July and sold 16 November , to the North American Smelting Company of Philadelphia , Pennsylvania , for scrapping . Awards . " Nautilus " earned the Presidential Unit Citation for her aggressive war patrols in enemy controlled waters as well as 14 battle star s for her service during World War II . Her commanding officer was awarded a Navy Cross for his actions during the Battle of Midway .

Tetricus I Gaius Pius Esuvius Tetricus was Emperor of the Gallic Empire ( " Imperium Galliarum " ) from 271 to 274 , following the murder of Victorinus . Tetricus , who ruled with his son , Tetricus II , was the last of the Gallic emperors following his surrender to the Roman emperor Aurelian . Reign . Tetricus was a senator born to a noble family of Gallic extraction . He was appointed to the administrative position of " praeses provinciae " ( provincial governor ) of Gallia Aquitania in 270 , a position he still held when the murder of Victorinus was announced in early 271 . Victorinus ' mother , Victoria , located at Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium , managed to keep control of the political situation after her son ’ s death ; through her influence ( and a large amount of money ) , she bribed the army to declare the absent Tetricus emperor . Tetricus accepted the army ’ s nomination and took the purple at Burdigala in Gaul . Moving from Burdigala , he was on his way to Augusta Treverorum when Tetricus was forced to repel Germanic tribes that took advantage of the confusion following the death of Victorinus to invade Gaul . By the end of 271 Tetricus had made Augusta Treverorum , near the vital Rhine border , his capital , and had celebrated a " Victoria Germanica " , but was again called out in 272 to deal with a fresh incursion that reached the River Loire . However , continued invasions across the Rhine and along the coasts forced Tetricus to abandon the frontier forts and withdraw the troops to defend the interior of Gaul . Regardless of his difficulties with the Germanic invasions , Tetricus was recognised as emperor throughout Britain and most of Gaul apart from Narbonensis , where Placidianus had reclaimed some territory under Claudius II Gothicus . Although Tetricus made no move to expand his territorial reach , he did invest time and resources reclaiming some provinces that had been reconquered by the central empire , such as south - eastern Aquitania and the western parts of Narbonensis . Nevertheless , his regime was destabilised by attempts of certain areas to declare their allegiance to the Roman emperor Aurelian , such as the city of Argentoratum in 272 . It was to shore up his internal support that Tetricus eventually appointed his son , Tetricus II , as " Caesar " sometime in 273 , after celebrating his second consulship on 1 January 273 . It did little to stem his faltering regime as in late 273 or early 274 , Faustinus , provincial governor of Gallia Belgica , rebelled against him in Augusta Treverorum . To add to his woes , by the middle of 273 , the emperor Aurelian set out to reconquer the western provinces of the Roman empire , following his victories in the east . Preparing for his advance , Tetricus and his son celebrated their joint consulship on 1 January 274 before marching southward from his capital at Augusta Treverorum to meet Aurelian , who was advancing into northern Gaul . The decisive battle took place near Châlons - sur - Marne , in late February 274 where Tetricus ’ army was cut to pieces in an event remembered as the " Catalaunian catastrophe " . By March 274 , both Tetricus and his son had surrendered to Aurelian . Later imperial propaganda declared that Tetricus had agreed to surrender to Aurelian in exchange for his life , but the price was to be his betrayal of his army prior to battle , which continued to fight even when notified of Tetricus ’ actions . It was claimed that Tetricus quoted Virgil in his letter to Aurelian : " eripe me his , invicte , malis " ( “ rescue me undefeated from these troubles ” ) . According to literary sources , after being displayed as trophies at Aurelian ' s triumph in Rome , the lives of Tetricus and his son were spared by Aurelian , and Tetricus was even given the title of " corrector Lucaniae et Bruttiorum " , that is governor of a southern region of Italia . Tetricus died at an unknown date in Italy ; he is listed as one of Rome ' s Thirty Tyrants in the Historia Augusta . Numismatics . The antoninianii ( silver coins ) of Tetricus were the most frequently imitated prototypes for barbarous radiate s , barbaric imitations of Roman coins .

Raymond Wolf Raymond Bernard Wolf ( July 15 , 1904 – October 6 , 1979 ) , nicknamed " Bear " Wolf , was an American football and baseball player and coach . Wolf was a native of Illinois and an alumnus of Texas Christian University ( TCU ) , where he played college football and college baseball . He played professional baseball for two seasons , and appeared in one Major League Baseball game for the Cincinnati Reds in 1927 . Wolf served as the head football coach at the University of North Carolina ( 1936 – 1941 ) , the University of Florida ( 1946 – 1949 ) and Tulane University ( 1952 – 1953 ) , compiling a career college football coaching record of 57 – 54 – 6 . He was also the head baseball coach at his alma mater , TCU , from 1935 to 1936 and the athletic director at Florida from 1946 to 1949 . Early years . Wolf was born in Chicago , Illinois in 1904 . He attended Texas Christian University ( TCU ) in Fort Worth , Texas , where he played tackle for the Texas Christian Horned Frogs football team from 1924 to 1926 . He played professional baseball for the Cincinnati Reds organization for a single season in 1927 , but returned to TCU to graduate in 1928 . Thereafter , Wolf got his start in coaching , working with the TCU linemen from 1929 to 1935 . Coaching career . From 1936 to 1941 , Wolf was employed by the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill , North Carolina to coach the North Carolina Tar Heels football team , and compiled a 38 – 17 – 3 record in six seasons . The university board of trustees renewed his contract at an increased salary in 1941 for an additional five years , but his war - time service prevented him from coaching during World War II . Wolf served as an officer in the U . S . Navy Reserve during World War II , and worked as a football coach at two of the service ' s naval aviation training stations , including the Navy ' s Pre - Flight School in Athens , Georgia and Flight Preparatory School in Austin , Texas . He was eventually promoted to lieutenant commander , and after the war ended in September 1945 , the Navy released Wolf to inactive duty . In 1946 , Wolf was hired by the University of Florida in Gainesville , Florida to be the new head football coach of the Florida Gators football team , replacing coach Tom Lieb . Wolf coached the Gators for four seasons from 1946 to 1949 and posted a 13 – 24 – 2 record , but his Southeastern Conference ( SEC ) record was 2 – 17 – 2 . The Florida Board of Control balked at renewing his contract when his initial three - year term expired after the 1948 season , but offered him a two - year contract extension in the aftermath of widespread public demonstrations of support by the football team and the Florida student body . Wolf was fired after the 1949 season , but nevertheless managed to leave Florida on a high note when his 1949 Gators upset the rival Georgia Bulldogs 28 – 7 for the first and only time during his tenure . In retrospect , Wolf ' s loyal Gators football players ironically dubbed his tenure as the " Golden Era , " and many of his returning players formed the nucleus of Bob Woodruff ' s improving Gators football teams of the early 1950s . In 1950 , Wolf was hired by head coach Henry Frnka of Tulane University in New Orleans , Louisiana , to be a senior assistant coach for the Tulane Green Wave football team . When Frnka unexpectedly resigned in March 1952 , Wolf became the head coach and led the Green Wave during the 1952 and 1953 seasons , finishing with a 6 – 13 – 1 overall record and 3 – 12 in the SEC . Later years . After retiring from coaching after the 1953 season , Wolf became an administrative officer at TCU , his alma mater . He was honored as a member of the TCU Lettermen ' s Association Hall of Fame . Wolf died of cancer in Fort Worth , Texas in 1979 .

ocean

Sea ( location ) The sea , also called ocean , is a recurring terrain type on the world map in the " Final Fantasy " series . It is a feature in most maps and cannot be traveled on without use of another vehicle , such as a boat , a canoe , or a submarine . Many vehicles that can only travel on certain depths , for example , the canoe and buggy , can only travel over shallow s , while various types of advanced chocobo can travel over deeper water , but not the entire ocean . The sea is used to separate continents and keeps the player from progressing to later parts of the game . An example of this is in the original " Final Fantasy " where the player starts limited to Cornelia and the Chaos Shrine . The player must complete the events of the Chaos Shrine dungeon to trigger the finishing of the Drawbridge to bridge the continents leading to further areas . Sometimes enemies can be fought in the sea . In the earlier entries of the " Final Fantasy " series , players would get into random encounter s when traveling over the sea in a boat . These encounters can still be escaped from . Notable world maps lacking seas include the Underworld and Moon from " Final Fantasy IV " . The former uses lava as a replacement . Appearances . " Final Fantasy " . The only way to travel by sea is via the pirate ship , obtainable by defeating the pirates at Pravoka . At first the player can only sail between the Cornelia , Pravoka and Elfheim in the inner sea , but once the Nitro Powder is used to clear a new passageway the player can sail through all deep waters . Random encounters can occur while on the sea , but they are not as frequent as on land . " Final Fantasy III " . The player can travel by sea with the " Enterprise " , and underwater after the " Nautilus " is enchanted by Doga . " Final Fantasy V " . Random encounters can occur while the party travels on the sea by boat . " Final Fantasy VII " . The sea separates each continent . The ways to cross the sea are using the Tiny Bronco , " Highwind " , submarine , Cargo Ship from Costa del Sol or a gold chocobo . The Bottom of the Sea is explorable via the submarine where one can find the sunken Gelnika and Emerald Weapon . The Junon Underwater Reactor can also be seen , but not entered , from the sea , as going through Junon is the only way to reach it . " Final Fantasy VIII " . The sea has few ways to cross it : Balamb Garden , once it becomes mobile , and the " Ragnarok " . A SeeD Assault Boat is used during the Siege of Dollet . Chocobos can cross shallow water and are the means of reaching the " Ragnarok " during endgame . The White SeeD Ship appears as a location in the sea during a storyline event . " Final Fantasy IX " . There are several boats and airships to explore Gaia with : the " Blue Narciss " , " Hilda Garde I " , and the " Hilda Garde III " , and the " Invincible " . The " Prima Vista " , the " Red Rose " , used as a warship by Queen Brahne , the Alexandrian Fleet , the " Cargo Ship " , and " Hilda Garde II " also appear in the story but cannot be controlled by the party . The party can also cross the oceans with Choco who learns new abilities to cross terrain by visiting Chocobo ' s Dream World . " Final Fantasy X " . At Besaid ' s beach the water can be swam in , but not far from the shore . Baaj Temple in the middle of the ocean can be swam in as well . In Kilika and other locations the ocean is simply a background feature . The boss Geosgaeno is fought twice underwater , once at the start of the game and once after the player acquires the airship as an optional fight . The sea is otherwise seen on the map when selecting a location for the airship . Oceans make up a considerable portion of Spira and Tidus ' s Zanarkand is located far out in the sea . The seas are not roamed much because of the threat of Sin . To travel between the islands the chocobo - powered ships " S . S . Liki " and " S . S . Winno " are used . " Final Fantasy XII " . The sea appears in a variety of places . Dalmasca Estersand has a river that can be crossed midway through the game and has a fishing minigame once the player has acquired a fishing rod . The Ogir - Yensa Sandsea and Nam - Yensa Sandsea are characterised by sand that moves like water , hence their name . The Ridorana Cataract and the Pharos have sea around them , Reddas sent fleets of boat s to the Pharos at Ridorana but they were all destroyed by the waves around the Ridorana Cataract . The Balfonheim Port has sea around it , but is used as the background . " Final Fantasy XIV " . Being on an island , the La Noscea region is surrounded by sea . Some instanced duties have players fighting on - board a ship . The primal Leviathan is fought on a barge floating out at sea . " Final Fantasy Tactics " .

10th infantry brigade

10th Brigade ( Australia ) The 10th Brigade was an infantry brigade of the Australian Army . It was raised in 1916 as part of the expansion of the Australian Imperial Force following the end of the Gallipoli campaign and subsequently saw service on the Western Front in France and Belgium during the First World War . After the war it was disbanded but was re - raised in 1921 as a part - time formation based in the state of Victoria . During the Second World War the brigade was used in a garrison role in Australia before being disbanded in 1942 . History . It was initially formed in 1916 as an Australian Imperial Force formation for service during the First World War . Assigned to the 3rd Division , upon formation it consisted of four battalions — the 37th , 38th , 39th and 40th Battalions — which were raised in Victoria and Tasmania . In July 1916 the brigade sailed to England where it undertook further training before being committed to the fighting on the Western Front in late 1916 . For the next two years they took part in many of the battles that the Australians fought in France and Belgium until the armistice in November 1918 . Shortly before the end of the war , the brigade ' s establishment was reduced to three infantry battalions as one — the 37th — was disbanded in September in order to reinforce the other battalions . This was due to widespread manpower shortages in the AIF as a result of the high number of casualties suffered during the Hundred Days Offensive . Following the end of the war , the 10th Brigade was disbanded , however , in 1921 it was re - raised as part of the Militia after it was decided to perpetuate the designations and battle honour s of the AIF by reorganising Australia ' s part - time military force . At this time , the brigade was based in Victoria and consisted of four infantry battalions : the 24th , 37th , 39th and 48th . On 1 May 1926 Thomas Blamey became commander of the brigade , remaining in the position until he took over the 3rd Division on 23 March 1931 . Upon the outbreak of the Second World War , the brigade was based in Victoria in September 1939 , and assigned to the 3rd Division . On 8 December 1941 the brigade was mobilised for full - time duty as the Militia was called up for garrison and defensive duties following Japan ' s entry into the war . As part of the mobilisation process , the brigade was reorganised into a brigade - group formation with organic artillery , anti - tank and engineer support . Its establishment was also reduced from four infantry battalions to three as the Australian Army moved towards the British Army brigade structure . In September 1942 , however , after moving to Queensland , it was disbanded — having not seen active service — as part of the reallocation of manpower resources that occurred within the Australian Army at that time . During the war , the 10th Brigade ' s subordinate units included : the 37th , 52nd , 24th / 39th and 24th Battalions , as well as the 2nd Field Regiment , Royal Australian Artillery , the 10th Field Company , Royal Australian Engineers and the 23rd Anti - Tank Battery , Royal Australian Artillery .

Something Borrowed ( TV story ) Something Borrowed was the ninth episode in the second series of " Torchwood " . It saw Gwen Cooper marry Rhys Williams and confirm her feelings for Captain Jack Harkness . This episode also marked the first appearance of Gwen ' s parents , Mary and Geraint Cooper , along with Rhys ' s own parents , Brenda and Barry Williams , who make their only appearance . The episode also makes references to Owen and Tosh ' s own relationship , and what could have been if he was alive . Synopsis . Gwen Cooper is about to get married to her fiancé Rhys . Only one problem : on her honeymoon night she is bitten by an alien and wakes on her wedding day heavily pregnant with a shape - shifter ' s baby . The alien mother is on the loose and searching for its offspring . The only way for the alien to get the egg is to rip open its carrier , Gwen . . . Plot . Gwen is late for her hen night , when she is sent after an alien with a carnivorous appetite . When wounded , its black blood tells the team that it ' s a shape - shifter . Following the trail of blood , she calls Jack in as backup . Suddenly the creature attacks and bites Gwen ' s arm as she struggles to fend it off . A gunshot rings out and the creature falls to the ground , dead . Jack helps Gwen up , taking notice of the bite wound and insists on having Owen examine it . Once her arm is bandaged , Gwen takes off for her hen night ; she explains that work kept her late . Her friends tease her with risqué comments about Rhys . Gwen wakes up in her flat the next day , feeling drowsy after her late night . She smiles as she spies her wedding dress . As she gets up she catches her reflection in the mirror ; she looks pregnant . . . " very " pregnant . Shocked , all Gwen can say is " Oh . . . " Gwen calls Jack and Owen for help . Gwen is dismissive of Owen ' s confirmation that she is pregnant and asks Jack for a second opinion . He agrees that she is obviously pregnant , prompting Gwen to ask incredulously " What with ? " Jack explains some aliens keep their bloodline going by passing eggs onto a host ; inside , they mature until ready to be born . He then makes a joke about how " Darwin would have a field day if he got to space " . Jack also explains that there is a procedure for this ; the public know it as immaculate conception . Jack tries to persuade Gwen to cancel the wedding , but she declines the idea . He then tells Gwen that her hormones are affecting her thinking , prompting an angry reply from Gwen as she wolfs down gherkins . Gwen asks Owen if her life is in immediate danger and Owen replies that if she and the alien fetus were biologically incompatible she would already be dead , so Gwen decides to wait until after the wedding to have the alien fetus removed . However , she does call Rhys to explain what has happened ; he heads straight home and begins ranting . Rhys also tries to postpone the wedding but Gwen insists and he gives in after Gwen tearfully tells him that all she wants to do today is marry him . The couple tells their families that they wanted to surprise them with the news of the pregnancy . However , Gwen realises this lie won ' t work ; their parents will be planning for their grandchild and telling them later that she lost the child would be devastating . Tosh arrives at the wedding venue , sent by Jack to guard Gwen . After being propositioned by Rhys ' best man , " Banana Boat " , Tosh delivers Gwen ' s new maternity wedding dress . They discuss the possibility of a relationship between Tosh and Owen . Tosh notes that the wedding vows would seem like a bad joke , since Owen is undead . Back at the hub , Owen ' s autopsy determines the creature is a Nostrovite , a carnivorous shape shifter who mates for life and hunts in pairs . After fertilisation , the female transfers eggs to the male , who transfers them to a host to incubate until the offspring is mature . The female then kills the host , releasing its newborn in a " midwife from hell " fashion . The mate of the dead Nostrovite will be hunting Gwen . The Nostrovite infiltrates the wedding and murders the DJ , eating most of him . Her presence is detected by Tosh and Banana Boat ; Banana ' s blunder costs Tosh the chance to shoot the creature . They ' re knocked out and trapped on a bed in a black , web - like construct . Gwen and Rhys are at the altar when Jack demands the wedding be stopped . Owen and Ianto rescue Tosh and Banana Boat . They also find Mervyn the DJ ' s mangled corpse . A bridesmaid , Megan , enters the room . Seeing Mervin ' s body , she flees . Jack orders Ianto to go after her , but he fails to stop her before she screams murder to the entire wedding party . Ianto jams the phone lines via the Torchwood SUV to prevent the guests summoning the police and Jack reveals his Torchwood affiliation , much to the surprise of Gwen ' s father . Before he can press the issue , Tosh notices the alien mother and alerts Jack . The Nostrovite reveals its true appearance and attempts to attack them , but flees out the window under a hail of bullets . Tosh and Jack give chase but lose its trail , though Tosh surmises that it won ' t have gone far without its child Jack checks in with Owen about Gwen ' s condition , and Owen tells him Rhys ' mother Brenda is with the couple . Tosh notices Brenda with Gwen ' s mother in the garden , however , and they come to the conclusion that the alien has assumed Brenda ' s form to get close to Gwen . Tosh and Jack reach the couple ' s room , where Jack calls the Brenda alien an " ugly bitch " and reveals to Rhys and Gwen that the Nostrovite has disguised itself as Rhys ' mum . Gwen asks if the alien can copy smells as well as appearance . On being told no , Gwen concludes that this is the real Brenda because she is wearing her familiar , awful perfume . Rhys punches Jack for calling his mum an ugly bitch . The team plus Rhys reach the garden to find the Nostrovite still with Gwen ' s mother Mary . They confront the Nostrovite and she takes Mary hostage , demanding her child in exchange . Gwen calmly walks towards them but as she gets close the Nostrovite releases Mary and charges . Gwen shoots it several times in the stomach with a gun hidden in her bouquet , but it manages to flee . Owen has brought the singularity scalpel to destroy the egg . He sends Gwen to her room , but takes Rhys aside while he tells Rhys about the scalpel and teaches him how to use it ; Owen ' s knackered hand means Rhys would have better accuracy with the scalpel . Jack enters Gwen ' s room whilst Owen and Rhys are talking . He and Gwen share an emotional conversation about their feelings for each other . As they are about to kiss , Jack transforms into the Nostrovite . Owen enters and shoots the Nostrovite while Gwen exits with Rhys . After realising Owen is dead the Nostrovite breaks off its attack , choosing to pursue Gwen . The rest of the team meet up with Owen , who explains that he and Gwen emptied whole clips of bullets into the alien , but " some mother instinct or something " is making it unstoppable . Since ordinary firearms are ineffective , Jack decides that they need a bigger gun and begins to assemble one taken from the SUV ' s boot . Rhys and Gwen reach the stable and Rhys explains Owen ' s plan to remove the egg with the singularoty scalpel ; Gwen is not enthused but they are out of choices . Rhys removes the egg and just as it is vapourised the Nostrovite breaks in , impersonating Rhys ' mother again . She moves toward Rhys , who picks up a nearby chainsaw . Furious at all that the creature has done to ruin his wedding day and threaten his bride and family , he lunges at the Nostrovite with the chainsaw . At that moment the chainsaw stops working , causing Rhys to swear profusely . The Nostrovite mockingly calls him a bad boy ( " You know what bad boys get ? ! " ) and raises its claws to attack him . Before it can do so , it is blown to bits from behind , spattering Rhys with its gory remains and black blood , and revealing Jack at the door with a large laser gun . Jack grins " How ' s " that " for a shape - shift ? " and helps Gwen up . Putting her hand in Rhys ' , Jack proclaims , " The hero always gets the girl " . Rhys and Gwen ' s ceremony resumes and the somewhat disheveled couple are wed . At the reception , Jack dances with Gwen and wishes her well . Rhys and Gwen notice everyone falling asleep . Jack has retcon ned the wedding party and guests so they will not remember the bizarre events . Jack offers the couple pills as well , but Gwen declines . She insists there will " be no secrets in this marriage " . They exit , thanking the team for everything . Jack and the others clean up . Ianto notes the irony of fighting aliens by day and being " Wedding Fairies " by night . Later , Jack enters the Hub alone , blowing some confetti in the air . He retrieves a battered tin box holding old pictures . He looks through them , reminiscing , but picks one up and stops . This picture shows Jack and his bride at their wedding . Story notes .

4th infantry regiment
|
4th Infantry Regiment ( United States ) The U . S . 4th Infantry Regiment ( " Warriors " ) is an infantry regiment in the United States Army . It has served the United States for approximately two hundred years . History . Origins . It has been alleged that the regiment traces its lineage to the original Fourth United States Infantry , which was organized as the Infantry of the Fourth Sub - Legion on 4 September 1792 , only four years after the adoption of the Constitution . The infantry of the Fourth Sub - Legion fought at Miami Rapids in 1794 . In 1796 , it was re - designated the Fourth Regiment of the Infantry . The regiment existed for ten years , as a youthful country experimented to obtain a military force to its needs . Due to a reduction in the army , the regiment was disbanded in 1802 . However , according to the United States Army Center of Military History , this Fourth Infantry was a temporary unit with no lineal connection to either the original permanent 4th Infantry Regiment , or the modern 4th Infantry Regiment . See the lineage of the first 4th US Infantry below . Northwest Territory Indian Wars . In 1808 Regular Army was reorganized to meet the growing threat posed by the Indian nations living on the western boundaries of the United States . The first permanent Regular Army unit to bear the designation of 4th Infantry Regiment was constituted on 12 April 1808 in the Regular Army , and organized during May – June 1808 in New England . Under the leadership of General William H . Harrison , the 4th Infantry , commanded by Colonel John Parker Boyd , was sent into the Northwest Territories , which included Ohio , Indiana , and Illinois . Its mission was to eliminate the threat posed by a union of Indian tribes from the surrounding area . The hostile actions of these tribes were effectively stopping settlement of this vast area . General Harrison , who was later to become a United States President , led the 4th Infantry and a force of militia and volunteers against the Indians at Tippecanoe . During this battle , the American forces completely routed the Indians , bringing peace to the area , but at a cost of 188 dead . The regiment then returned to Fort Vincennes , and in 1812 , after a trying march through the forests of Ohio , joined forces with General William Hull . War of 1812 . Within months of the Battle of Tippecanoe , the United States declared war against Great Britain . This required the increased manning of the Regular Army . The modern 4th Infantry Regiment was constituted 11 January 1812 in the Regular Army as the original 14th Infantry Regiment , and organized in March 1812 in Virginia , Maryland , Delaware , and Pennsylvania . On 12 July , General Hull crossed with his command into Canada , and made camp at Sandwich ( now Windsor ) , Canada , just on the Canadian border . The regiment remained inactive for the rest of the month and grew restless . Then the Fourth was given a mission of escorting some supplies into Camp Detroit , previous escorts having been surprised and routed . The Fourth Infantry undertook this duty enthusiastically , and although ambushed at Maguage , fourteen miles below Detroit , by a superior force of British , Canadians , and Indians , the American regulars captured the enemy ' s concealed breastworks , wounded Chief Tecumseh , and completely routed their opponents . Before they could follow up on their success and complete the victory , the Fourth received orders from General Hull to return to Detroit . There , the Fourth found out that General Hull had surrendered his entire force to include the Fourth led by Captain Cook to Lieutenant Bullock of the 41st Regiment on 16 August 1812 at Fort Detroit , Michigan . For this General Hull was tried and found guilty of " Cowardliness " and " Neglect of Duty " . President Monroe , mitigating the court - martial sentence that General Hull be shot , ruled : " The rolls of the army shall no longer be debased by having upon them the name of Brigadier General Hull " . The Fourth Infantry ' s colors taken by the British ( through no fault of the regiment ) were kept in the Tower of London until 1889 , then the colors for many years hung in the Chapel of the Royal Hospital Chelsea until 1961 . Along the walls of the Great Hall are replicas ( the original are in the museum ) . They are currently in the Welch Regiment Museum . After remaining several months in Canada as prisoners of war , the officers and men were returned under parole to Boston and given furloughs until exchanged for British prisoners of war . Early in 1813 the exchange was effective and the regiment reassembled and recruited to strength . It fought at the second Battle of Lacolle Mills , Canada and at Plattsburgh in 1814 . Following the end of the War of 1812 , and consistent with the reduction in force of the Regular Army , the original 4th Infantry Regiment was consolidated on May – October 1815 with the 9th and 13th Infantry ( both constituted 11 January 1812 ) , the 21st Infantry ( constituted 26 June 1812 ) , the 40th Infantry ( constituted 29 January 1813 ) , and the 46th Infantry ( constituted 30 March 1814 ) to form the 5th Infantry Regiment . Thereafter separate lineage . In the same time period the 14th Infantry Regiment was consolidated May – October 1815 with the 18th Infantry Regiment and 20th Infantry Regiment ( both constituted 11 January 1812 ) and the 36th Infantry Regiment and 38th Infantry Regiment ( both constituted 29 January 1813 ) to form the modern 4th Infantry Regiment . On 21 August 1816 unspecified 4th Infantry Regiment companies were redesignated as Companies A and B , 4th Infantry Regiment . These companies would later be instrumental in the reorganization of 4th Infantry Regiment from the original organizational model , which included a headquarters element and 13 lettered companies with no battalion organization , to one with the 13 lettered companies divided between two battalions . The original Companies A and B would become Headquarters and Headquarters Company 1st and Headquarters and Headquarters Company 2nd Battalion . Creek and Seminole Campaigns . For the next twenty years , the regiment fought almost constantly with the Creek Indians in Georgia , and the Seminoles in Florida under the command of General Andrew Jackson , a future president . In constant and long hardships the regiment marched through swamps , building cantonments and raking roads to open what now is the state of Georgia , Alabama , and Florida . A letter of Gen . Lorenzo Thomas stated : “ Each company built its own double block of logs and a house of one story for the officers quarters . The troops also saved the boards for flooring , and rived the pine shingles for roofs . In truth , the troops did the entire work , the quartermaster department only furnishing the few tools to work with , such as nails and other hardware . Scarcely a nail was used to secure the shingles , they being hung on the rafters with wooden pegs . The spaces between the logs were chinked with moss and clay and afterward the whole was whitewashed . All completed with scarcely any expense to the government . " In December 1835 , Osceola ' s Seminoles cut the line of communication and supply to one of the border stations , Fort King . One hundred artillerymen from Fort Brooke under Major Gardner were ordered to re - establish the contact . At the last moment , Major Gardner ' s bride of a few weeks fell ill . Captain and Brevet - Major Francis L . Dade of the Fourth Infantry took command for Major Gardner . Dade joined the expedition with eleven men of B Company , Fourth Infantry . The march was begun on 20 December ; on 28 December , forty miles short of Fort King , Major Dade ' s column was ambushed by Osceola . The only survivors of the attack were three badly wounded privates who reported the command had fought stubbornly from eight in the morning until five at night when , their ammunition exhausted , they were killed . Those who died or were wounded were : Francis L . Dade , Brevet Maj . , Pvt . John Barnes , Pvt . Donald Campbell , Pvt . Marvin Cunningham , Pvt . John Doughty , Pvt . Cornel Donovan , Pvt . William Downes , Pvt . Enoch Yates , Pvt . Samuel Hall , Pvt . Wiley Jones , Pvt . John Massacre , suffering some casualties : Pvt . David Hill was killed at Fort Call on 21 August 1836 , Pvt . David Mclaughlin and Pvt . William Walker were killed at Thonotosassa on 26 August 1836 , Sgt . Levi Clendening was killed at Chrystal River on 9 February 1837 , Pvt . Othiel Lutz , Pvt . John Stewart , and Pvt . Bathol Shumard were killed at Okeechobee on 25 December 1837 , and Pvt . William Foster was killed at Big Cypress on 20 December 1841 . By 1842 , the Fourth Infantry had caught up with the Indians and sent Osceola to a cell at Moutrie in which he would remain until his death . Hostile tribes that lived in these areas fled west of the Mississippi . The death roll of one company for one year includes casualties from the Indians , cholera , and five diagnosed types of fever . The same death roll has the entry " Intemperance " after two more soldier ' s names . In Orders No . 15 , Western Army , 28 August 1832 , General Winfield Scott states : " The senior surgeon recommends the use of flannel shirts , flannel drawers and woolen stockings , but the Commanding General , who has seen much of the disease [ cholera ] knows that it is intemperance which generates and spreads the calamity and that , when spread , good and temperate men are likely to be infected . He therefore peremptorily commands that every soldier or ranger who shall be found drunk or sensibly intoxicated , after publication of this order , be compelled , as soon as his strength will permit , to dig a grave at a suitable burying place large enough for his own reception , as such a grave cannot fail soon to be wanted for the drunken man himself or for one of his drunken companions . This order is given as well to serve as a punishment for drunkenness as to spare good and temperate men the labor of digging graves for their worthless companions . " Mexican - American War . In 1842 , the regiment was ordered to Jefferson Barracks , Missouri , where after half a century of existence the regiment enjoyed for the first time the comforts of a regular post . The regiment trained at Jefferson barracks for two years when in 1844 , it was ordered to the western border of Louisiana for the war with Mexico . Hostilities were precipitated by the murder of Colonel Cross and the killing of a lieutenant with a small detachment of 4th Infantry soldiers by Mexican raiders . Although this happened in April , communications were slow and it was not until September that the command sailed to Corpus Christi , Texas , where with the 3rd , 5th , 7th and 8th Infantry regiments , one artillery regiment acting as infantry , seven companies of dragoons , and four companies of light artillery formed the Army of Observation under General Zachary Taylor . The pay was seven dollars a month and flogging was the usual means of punishment . U . S . Grant , then a lieutenant in the 4th Infantry , stated in his personal memoir : " A more efficient army for its number and armament , I do not believe ever fought a battle than the one commanded by General Taylor in his first two engagements on Mexican - - or Texan soil " . The Army of Observation soon became the Army of Occupation . On the fields of Palo Alto , Resaca De La Palra , and at Monterey , where the regimental band of the Fourth threw away their instruments , seized a Mexican light battery , and swung it about upon their fleeing enemy . According to the official citation , the breast cord of honor given them and their successors was red , the artillery ' s color , to show that they were expert artillerymen as infantrymen . General Taylor had in his command leaders such as Lieutenant Ulysses S . Grant and Captain Robert E . Lee serving as a company commander of engineers . These battles had a great influence in molding the leaders of the American Civil War , which followed . General Taylor having successfully invaded Northern Mexico moved the base of active operations to Vera Cruz on the east coast . In January 1847 , the 4th Infantry was taken by sea to the port of Vera Cruz and after a siege , the city capitulated . General Scott commanding the Army at Vera Cruz ordered the advance on the capital , Mexico City , in April . On 17 April and 18th General Scott ' s forces moved through the mountain pass at Gerro Gordo , where General Santa Anna lost his wooden leg in a hasty retreat . The Mexican soldiers fought well and the pass was won only after desperate attacks . Garrison duty . At the finish of the war the 4th Infantry left from Vera Cruz , and reached Camp Jeff Davis , Pascagoula , Mississippi on 23 July 1848 . The regiment was ordered to proceed by sea to New York and to take station at several different points on the lakes , between Mackinac and Plattsburgh . Ordinary garrison duties were performed until June 1852 . The regiment was consolidated at Fort Columbus , New York to board the SS " Ohio " and travel to Aspinwall , on the Isthmus of Panama on 5 July 1852 . Their mission was to travel across the Isthmus of Panama and set up camp on the Pacific coast to protect early settlers of the Pacific Northwest . After a long journey on the overcrowded ship ( 1 , 100 officers , men and camp followers ) the regiment safely reached Aspinwall on 16 July 1852 . The rainy season was at its height on the Isthmus and cholera was raging . Transportation was lacking for the trip across the Isthmus of Panama , the jungles , mountains , and rivers were difficult to cross ; and cholera decimated the organization as well as the families who accompanied the men . The total deaths from cholera , fever , and allied diseases from the time the regiment arrived on the Isthmus to a few weeks after the arrival at Benica on the west coast , amounted to one officer and 106 enlisted men . On arrival on the Pacific coast , the regiment was distributed among many small posts . Vancouver Barracks , Fort Townsend , Fort Hoskins , Fort Humboldt , Fort Dalles , Fort Steilacoom , Fort Jones , Fort Boise , Fort Lane , Fort Reading , Fort Yamhill , Orford , Fort Walla Walla , Crook , Fort Ter - Waw , Fort Cascades , Fort Simcoe , Fort Gaston , Chehalis , Fort Yuma , and Fort Mohave were all garrisoned and many of them built by the 4th Infantry at some time between 1852 and 1861 . Major Granville O . Haller of the 4th Infantry led an expedition from Fort Dalles into central Washington , and Lieutenant William A . Slaughter also of the 4th Infantry with forty - eight men from Fort Steilacoom crossed Natchez Pass to aid Major Haller when attempts to move the Indians of Puget Sound onto reservations caused trouble between them and some white settlers . Captain Maloney of the 4th Infantry , and Captain Gilmore Hayes of the Washington Volunteers had started for Yakima via Natchez Pass when they were overtaken on 29 October 1855 by the Nisqually tribe under Chief Leschi . Lt . Slaughter and his men plus Captain Hayes ' force met the Indians at the crossing of the White River , and on 4 November 1855 fought without decisive results . The following day the troops met hostiles in the difficult country between the White and Green Rivers . The troops fell back into the valleys and on 24 November 1855 , Lt . Slaughter , commanding a platoon of the 4th Infantry and a company of volunteers , was attacked in his camp at Puyallup . The lieutenant moved to the present site of Auburn and here again the Indians attacked . Slaughter and two corporals of the volunteer company were killed , four other men were injured , one later dying of his wounds . For years the town , which sprang up on this site , was known as Slaughter in honor of this officer of the 4th Infantry ; it was later changed to Auburn . During the hostilities many settlers had taken refuge at Fort Steilacoom , the woman and children being left there , while the men enrolled in the volunteers . Ezar Meeker , one of the settlers , paid the following tribute to First Lieutenant John Nugen of the Fourth Infantry , commanding Fort Steilacoom while Captain Maloney was in the field . Hostile tribes attacked Seattle on 26 January 1856 , and two settlers were killed . Meanwhile the regular forces were augmented by additional companies of the 4th Infantry from Vancouver Barracks and by three companies of the 9th Infantry . On 12 February 1856 , they moved from Fort Steilacoom and were joined by Chief Patkanim with friendly Indians . This force advanced against the hostiles at Mucleshoot , losing one man and nine wounded , in a second battle on the White River overrunning the Indian encampment . Leshi retreated through Natches Pass and surrendered to Colonel . Wright , the commanding officer of the 4th Infantry , who had been conducting a vigorous campaign against the Yakima Indians and their allies , while the action in the west was occurring . By the close of the Leschi War , the 4th Infantry included in its present and past roster of officers such as Robert C . Buchanan , Christopher C . Augur , Alden , William Wallace Smith Bliss , Ulysses S . Grant , Philip Sheridan , Henry M . Judah , DeLancey Floyd - Jones , R . N . Scott , Lewis Cass Hunt , Granville O . Haller , Henry C . Hodges , Waller , David Allen Russell , Henry Prince , Benjamin Alvord , August Kautz , Robert Macfeely and George Crook . Many of these officers would later serve in the American Civil War . In 1859 , General William S . Harney ordered the occupation of San Juan Island as part of the territory of the United States . Three companies of the Fourth Infantry and one of the Ninth , under the command of Captain George Pickett , did the occupying . The British commander had under his command five men - of - war with 167 guns , and 2 , 000 sailors and marines . The British invited an officer of the Fourth to an official party of courtesy aboard the flagship . The American made a remark concerning a battle in the ongoing Second Italian War of Independence . It was September 1859 ; Magenta had been fought 4 June . The British , thus believed the Americans had more current information . With the memory of Pakenham ' s losses at New Orleans ( in a battle fought after the war was ended ) fresh in their minds , the British decided to wait . As it happened , the English commander was really the best informed man on the scene , as was proved by the subsequent arrival of General Winfield Scott with orders which vetoed General Harney ' s decision . The San Juan troops were quietly withdrawn , without bloodshed . This incident in Puget Sound is called the Pig War . Civil War . In 1861 with the secession of a number of Southern states to form the new Confederate States of America , the regiment moved from its dispersed posts in the Department of the Pacific to Southern California to suppress any secessionist uprising . Charged with the supervision of Los Angeles , San Bernardino , San Diego , and Santa Barbara Counties , on 14 August 1861 , Major William Scott Ketchum made a rapid march on 26 August and encamped near San Bernardino , California with Companies D and G , later reinforced at the beginning of September by a detachment of ninety First U . S . Dragoons and a howitzer . Except for frequent sniping at his camp , this move stifled a secessionist uprising and prevented secessionist political demonstrations during the September California gubernatorial elections in San Bernardino County . In late October 1861 the regiment was relieved by California Volunteer units and marched to San Pedro harbor where they waited for the balance of the regiment to gather before being transported to Washington D . C . to become part of the garrison in defense of the capital . The regiment was organized with other Regular Army units in the Volunteer Army as the First Brigade of George Sykes ' s " Regular Division " of the V Corps . The regiment ' s first Civil War engagement was in April and May 1862 during the Siege of Yorktown . By quick action at the Battle of Gaines Mill in June 1862 , the Regulars saved Wood ' s and Tidball ' s artillery batteries from capture by Confederate infantry . It participated as a part of the Army of the Potomac in the Second Battle of Bull Run and then the subsequent Maryland Campaign . At the Battle of Antietam , the regulars held the Middle Bridge over Antietam Creek , guarding the vital passage . They advanced towards the Confederate - held town of Sharpsburg , Maryland , late in the afternoon of 17 September 1862 , before being recalled to their lines . After seeing limited action at the Battle of Fredericksburg in December 1862 , the regiment went into winter camp and saw no further combat for months . It formed part of Joseph Hooker ' s rear guard at Chancellorsville . Throughout the Gettysburg Campaign , the regiment served in the Regular Division under its newly promoted commander , Romeyn B . Ayres . During the Battle of Gettysburg , it was part of the fighting on the Second Day , helping push back Confederate infantry near Devil ' s Den and the Wheatfield . Heavily depleted by battle casualties , the much - reduced regiment nevertheless continued to participate in the major campaigns of the Army of the Potomac , by 1864 under the command of Ulysses S . Grant during the Overland Campaign . The remaining men participated in the battles of Wilderness , Spotsylvania Court House , Cold Harbor , and the Siege of Petersburg . By the time the regiment manned the breastworks around Petersburg , a lieutenant , George Randall , was in command as the senior officer still present for duty . On 22 June 1864 , with less than 150 men left , the 4th Infantry reported to City Point , Virginia , to become Gen . Ulysses S . Grant ’ s headquarters guard . The greatly reduced regiment was present at Appomattox Courthouse for Robert E . Lee ' s surrender . Grant , then commanding the armies of the Union , never forgot the 4th Infantry , with which he had served as a lieutenant in Mexico and on the frontier . As recognition of its valor during the Civil War , he designated it as the guard unit during the formal surrender ceremony . Survivors of the 4th U . S . Infantry marched in the grand review of troops in Washington D . C . in May 1865 , immediately following the war . Post Civil War . After Appomattox , the regiment returned to the West , now to Fort Laramie . On 31 March 1869 the regiment was consolidated with the original 30th Infantry , and the resulting consolidation retained the 4th Infantry designation . It is of special note that Companies A and B of each organization was carefully blended together to retain their original status . One casualty is noted as Pvt . Jonathan Schewen who died from an Indian attack on 9 December 1869 at Horse River , Wyoming . where the 4th fought with General Crook ' s Big Horn Expedition . In 1871 , parts of the Fourth went to Louisville to be split into small detachments to chivvy moonshiners about the Kentucky hills for a year , while other parts stayed to fight Indians . Sgt . Patrick Sullivan of the 4th was ambushed and murdered by outlaws on 4 March 1876 at Fort Fetterman , Wyoming and Maj . Thomas T . Thornburgh was killed in an Indian attack on 29 September 1879 at Milk River , Colorado - during the Meeker Massacre { Thornburgh and 12 others killed and 43 wounded . See } . The 4th served under Crook in the Battle of the Rosebud , where Crook ordered the infantry to advance to the bluffs on foot in support of his Indian allies . The men of Co . D , 4th Infantry , led by Capt . Avery B . Cain , were the first to reach the crest of the ridge north of the Rosebud , where they opened fire . Companies C , G and H , 9th Infantry , and Co . F , 4th Infantry , supported the charge . The success of the infantry was critical to the outcome of the battle . Their enhanced firepower kept the Indians at bay , while cavalrymen made their horses ready . In moving forward , the foot soldiers found a Crow warrior leaning against a tree , where he urged on his companions , yelling like a madman . This was Bull Snake , whose thighbone had been shattered when he exposed himself on a bravery run . Also wounded here was Fox - Just - Coming - Over - Hill , renamed Old Coyote , shot through the shoulder . In 1892 – 93 , under Colonel Robert Hall , the Fourth escorted Coxey ' s Army through Washington and Idaho guarding the Northern Pacific Railway from disorder arising from the march of Coxey ' s Army . Spanish - American War , Philippine - American War years . In 1898 , the Fourth went east and embarked from Tampa to Cuba on the steamer " Concho " . Landing at Daiquiri , the regiment participated in the battle of El Caney and the occupation of Santiago . Fever decimated the command and the campaign ended . The Fourth returned to New York in August 1898 . Quickly recruited at Fort Sheridan , the regiment sailed in January 1899 for Manila via the Suez Canal . The Fourth Infantry , or units of it , participated in fights of La Loma church , Wariquima , Dismarinias , Imus , Puento Julien , and elsewhere in the Philippines , finally capturing Lt . General Trias , second in command to Aquinaldo . On 20 November 1899 , Private John C . Wetherby , Co . L , 4th Infantry , was near Imus , Luzon , Philippine Islands when he was wounded carrying important orders on the battlefield , unable to walk , he crawled a great distance in order to deliver his orders . Private Wetherby received the Medal of Honor for his actions . On 2 July 1901 , 2Lt Allen J . Greer of the 4th Infantry was near Majada , Laguna Province , Philippine Islands when he charged alone an insurgent outpost with his pistol , killing one , wounding two , and capturing three insurgents with their rifles and equipment . For his actions , 2Lt . Greer received the Medal of Honor . On 23 November 1901 , 1LT . Louis J . Van Schaick , was pursuing a band of insurgents , near Nasugbu , Batangas , Philippine Islands , and was the first to emerge from a canyon , and seeing a column of insurgents and fearing they might turn and attack his men as they emerged one by one from the canyon , galloped forward and closed with the insurgents , thereby throwing them into confusion until the arrival of others of the detachment . 1Lt . Van Schaick received the Medal of Honor for his actions . In 1902 , the regiment returned to San Francisco , having circled the globe . The regiment returned to the Philippines for another tour from 1903 until 1906 . In October 1906 the regiment moved to Wyoming in time to stop the Ute uprising , its last campaign against hostile Indians . In 1908 , the regiment was ordered to the Philippines for a third time , remaining until 1910 . Trouble with Mexico caused the regiment to be stationed on the Texas border in 1913 ; and in 1914 it took part in the occupation of Veracruz . Pvt . Herman C . Moore , 4th Infantry Regiment was killed during this conflict in October 1915 . The regiment camped on the same grounds as it had in the U . S . - Mexican War of 1847 , sixty - seven years before . World War I . In 1917 , the United States entered World War I . On 1 October 1917 , the Fourth was assigned to 3d Division . Stationed at Fort Brown , Texas , the regiment recruited and trained up to strength and on the first anniversary of the American entry into the war , left for France . The Fourth Infantry disembarked at Brest , France in 1918 and participated in the defensive actions of Aisne , Château - Thierry , Second Battle of the Marne , and in the Third Battle of the Aisne , St . Mihiel , Meuse - Argonne offensives . The entire regiment was decorated with the French Croix de Guerre , having lost eighty percent of its men , under constant and grueling fire during thirty days on the line ; the regiment was relieved by the 60th Infantry . On 7 October 1918 near Cunel , France , PFC John L . Barkley , Co . K , 4th Infantry was stationed in an observation post half a kilometer from the German line , on his own initiative repaired a captured enemy machinegun and mounted it in a disabled French tank near his post . Shortly afterward , when the enemy launched a counterattack against American forces , PFC Barkley got into the tank , waited under the hostile barrage until the enemy line was abreast of him and then opened fire , completely breaking up the counterattack and killing and wounding a large number of the enemy . Five minutes later an enemy 77 - millimeter gun opened fire on the tank pointblank . One shell struck the drive wheel of the tank , but this soldier nevertheless remained in the tank and after the barrage ceased broke up a second enemy counterattack , thereby enabling American forces to gain and hold Hill 25 . PFC Barkley received the Medal of Honor for his actions . After a rest which the organization received six hundred replacements , it was marched to a position in the Forest De Passe , and on 9 November 1918 , received orders to be ready on a moments notice . The men knew they were to take part in the final drive to encircle Metz in the event the Germans did not accept terms of the proposed armistice . Preparations were being made for the departure on the morning of 11 November , when the end of the war was heralded by the French villagers . The Fourth Infantry served as part of the Army of Occupation in France , until 1919 . After returning to the United States , the Fourth Infantry was stationed at Camp Pike , Arkansas , and then moved to Camp Lewis , Washington , the site of which was part of the tribal grounds of Chief Leschi , the regiment ’ s enemy in 1855 – 56 . In June 1922 , the regimental headquarters , headquarters and service companies and second battalion of the regiment were sent to Fort George Wright , Washington , while the other two battalions occupied Fort Missoula , Montana and Fort Lawton , Washington . On 19 February 1925 the unit was permitted to wear the red - green - red distinctive unit insignia . Alaska defense . In 1927 , the Third Battalion at Fort Lawton moved to Fort Lincoln , Maryland . After maneuvers in California in 1940 , the 3rd battalion was redesigned as part of the 15th Infantry . Cadre made up a new 3rd Battalion from the remainder of the regiment and the transfer of two companies of the 32nd Infantry at Chilkoot barracks , Alaska . The 1st battalion , 4th Infantry pioneered military development of the strategic Alaskan territory . The rest of the regiment arrived shortly after and started clearing ground for what is now Fort Richardson . It was the first organization of such size to arrive in Alaska . The Fourth formed the nucleus for the Alaska Defense Command , to deter a Japanese invasion of Alaska . The Japanese began to build - up forces on the southern - most Alaskan Islands and the Fourth ' s major battle of the war was the battle of Attu , a Japanese held island . On 8 May 1943 soldiers of the Fourth climbed over the sides of their transport ships to land on Massacre Bay . Major John D . O ' Reilly of Seattle , battalion commander , who was later to receive a battlefield promotion to lieutenant colonel , reported to Major General Landrem . Carrying extra rations and ammunition , the troops marched to engage the enemy less than 24 hours after landing . On Attu Island , the First Battalion fought the Japanese at altitudes of 2000 feet on snow - covered mountains . Moving north along the high west ridge of Chichagof Valley on 21 May 1943 the battalion came up against strong enemy opposition from machine gun and sniper positions . Later that day , the battalion moved along the ridge to a point where visual contact was established with other American forces that had proceeded inland from the Holtz Bay area , on the opposite side of the island . After five straight days of strong enemy opposition , the First Battalion was pulled to the rear for rest and to prepare for their next mission . After a day ' s rest , the First Battalion was given the task of clearing entrenched Japanese defenders from the high peaks of Fish Hook Ridge . Covered only by mortar and machine gun fire , troops of Company A scaled steep cliffs while facing heavy enemy fire . Small groups of soldiers were clearly visible as they slowly inched their way up to the enemy held peaks . One observer later said that the scene resembled a Hollywood adventure movie rather than reality . Many were wounded or killed , but the battalion on 27 May 1943 finally took a portion of a high rock on the northeast end of the ridge , giving them a commanding position overlooking the main ridge running east toward the Chichagof Valley . The fighting continued into the night and by 1900 hours on the next day , the 4th Infantry had accomplished its mission . The Presidential Unit Citation was awarded to the 1st Battalion for its heroism during the attack on the peaks . The next day , the American invasion force engaged and defeated 1 , 000 Japanese in a suicide counter - attack near Sarana Valley . The Fourth was given the task of combing the area of Chichagof Valley by active patrolling , hunting out and capturing or killing Japanese stragglers . This was the last engagement with the Japanese for the regiment . The Japanese had been driven from Alaska ' s Aleutian Islands . In the fighting the regiment lost approximately five officers and sixty enlisted men . 2nd Battalion , 4th Infantry participated in one of the first big troop movements by air , probably the largest up to that time . Early on the morning of 19 June 1942 the battalion was ordered to move to Nome , Alaska near the edge of the Arctic Circle , where unidentified planes were flying threatening an invasion . Only a small number of army transport planes were available . The situation was critical and orders required that the vanguard of the force , 20 anti - aircraft guns and their crews , be in Nome within 24 hours . All civilian air traffic in Alaska was stopped that day and every suitable airplane in the vicinity was requisitioned for the movement . The fleet of planes included Stinsons , Bellancas , and two old Ford Tri - motors . By midnight of the same day , after 39 individual trips , the anti - aircraft units had been moved to Nome and the big shuttle movement was under way . Despite weather that kept the planes on the ground part of the time , the entire force and all its equipment , with the exception of big field guns and similar heavy equipment , was transported to Nome in a period of 18 days . The movement would have been completed in a week had it not been for the unfavorable weather conditions . Cargo - carrying commercial planes coming in from China were used to supplement the air armada . The midnight sun , providing almost full 24 hours of daylight , made it possible for some of the planes to make two trips in a single day . Ammunition , rations , tents , even 37 millimeter guns and field kitchens , everything necessary to make the force self - sufficient were moved by air without one accident . Heavy weapons were brought up later by boat . The troops stepped out of the planes in Nome , equipped and ready to fight . The total flights came to 218 . The troops maneuvered in weather from 20 to 35 degrees below zero . They found that none of the elaborate footgear provided by the army protected their feet as well as the native Mukluk , made by the Eskimos from deer and the hide of sealskins . The 2nd Battalion remained in Nome for a year , later moving to the Aleutians . First to Dutch Harbor then to Adak , where they experienced other types of bad weather . The 3rd Battalion , which included two companies that were stationed at Chikoot Barracks for many years before the war , helped to establish two big bases , Fort Richardson and Ladd Field . On 2 December 1943 , the 4th returned to the United States , and after consolidating the regiment at Fort Lewis , Washington , it moved on 23 January 1944 to Fort Benning , Georgia , where it was assigned to the United States Army Replacement and School Command . On 1 November 1945 , the 4th Infantry was assigned to the 25th Infantry Division . The incumbent personnel and equipment were reassigned to the 4th Infantry Division , which was at Camp Butner , North Carolina , while the regimental records and accoutrements were forwarded to Japan to establish a unit for occupation duty . This iteration of the 4th Infantry Regiment was inactivated on 31 January 1947 , at Osaka , Japan . The records and accoutrements were returned to the United States and the 4th Infantry Regiment was relieved from assignment to the 25th Division on 1 February 1947 . NATO mission .

On 15 September 1956 , the 4th Infantry was assigned to the 4th Regimental Combat Team for the second time in this capacity and served for nearly a year . On 1 July 1957 , the colors of Company B were relieved from assignment to the 4th Regimental Combat Team , reorganized and redesigned Headquarters Company , 2d Battle Group , 4th Infantry , and assigned as an organic element of the 3d Infantry Division with duty station at Fort Benning , Georgia . The remaining companies and a mortar battery to comprise the 2d Battle Group , 4th Infantry were organized for the 1st and 2d Battalions , 15th Infantry Regiment which were already stationed at Fort Benning . On 22 July 1957 , Colonel Seymore B . Satterwhite assumed command of the 2d Battle Group , 4th Infantry and by 20 July all personnel of the battle group were thoroughly oriented on the ROCID concept . By 15 September 1957 the battle group had completed its organization under ROCID TO & E 7 - 11T , 1956 , thus cadre training commenced in preparation for receiving 1 , 189 new soldiers straight from civilian life that would bring the unit to combat strength . The 2d Battle Group , 4th Infantry received the first 26 men on 12 November 1957 . The remainder of the men arrived shortly after , and all of the men completed their basic training in time to go on leave for Christmas . When they returned in January , training was resumed , and training of all phases was completed by 3 April 1958 . On 15 February 1958 , it officially was reorganized and redesignated Headquarters and Headquarters Company , 2d Battle Group , 4th Infantry and assigned to the U . S . 3rd Infantry Division .

The 3d Battle Group , 4th Infantry would become the 3d Battalion , 4th Infantry and be inactivated at Fairfield , Illinois on 31 December 1965 . In 1965 , the 1st Battalion , 4th Infantry joined the 3d Brigade , 3d Infantry Division in Aschaffenburg , Germany . Taking part in the many REFORGER training exercises in Germany . The battalion was named " Warrior " Battalion in 1966 to commemorate the long service by the regiment between fighting wars and later protecting Indians in Florida , the Pacific Northwest , and the Great Plains . The 2d Battalion , 4th Infantry was reactivated on 21 July 1969 . On 18 September 1970 , the 56th Field Artillery Brigade , headquartered in Schwaebisch Gmuend , Federal Republic of Germany , assumed control of three Pershing missile firing battalions . The newly arrived 2d Battalion , 4th Infantry provided the infantry defensive support for the missile units . The unit defended the missile battalions from intruding protesters , from the Nationalist Green Party and other elements . The mission of the 2d Battalion , 4th Infantry was to provide armed security including patrols of the Pershing nuclear missile and missile storage sites — Muetlangen Missile Storage Site ( Company A ) , Von Steuben ( Company B ) , and Red Leg ( Company C ) Combat Alert Sites ( CAS ) additional duties included protecting Pershing nuclear systems in the field and dealing with numerous anti - nuclear protests .

The 2d Battalion , 4th Infantry participated in major exercises each winter at training areas such as Baumholder , Hohenfels Hohenfels , Wildflecken , and Grafenwoehr . This helped to prepare the unit for encounters with Warsaw Pact military forces in the event of an assault on the missile sites . This was considered a very real possibility during the years of the Cold War . In addition each of the line companies rotated each year to Doughboy City , Berlin to train in military operations in an urban terrain ( MOUT ) . On 18 August 1971 , soldiers from the heavy mortar platoon from battalion headquarters were being transported from Ludwigsburg to Grafenwoehr for live fire training exercises aboard a CH - 47A helicopter . The helicopter crashed and exploded , killing all 38 on board , including four members of the 4th Aviation Company . In May 1983 , the 1st Battalion , 4th Infantry began to reorganize to the Division 86 concept in the Army of Excellence program by President Ronald Reagan , with the expectation of stopping a Soviet invasion of West Germany at the “ Hofsburg Throat . ” This caused the battalion to expand to four rifle companies , an anti - armor company and a very large headquarters and headquarters company . In May 1984 , the 1st Battalion , 4th Infantry began to transition to the Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle . The transition was completed in August 1984 . In the late 1980s the government again began to reduce the armed forces and the 1st Battalion , 4th Infantry was listed for inactivation , which took place on 16 December 1987 and the unit was relieved from assignment to the 3d Infantry Division . However , the battalion until then known as 1st Battalion , 4th Infantry ( Warrior Battalion ) , then stationed in Aschaffenburg Germany , was reflagged as the 4th Battalion , 7th Infantry ( Fighting Fourth ) , and remained in place as part of the 3d Brigade , 3rd Infantry Division . The signing of the Intermediate Nuclear Forces ( INF ) Treaty ( 1987 ) , the fall of the Berlin Wall 1989 ) , and the demise of the Soviet Union ( 1991 ) signaled the end of the Cold War and resulted in the eventual inactivation of the 2nd Battalion , 4th Infantry . In May 1991 , the 56th Field Artillery Command and all its subordinate units were inactivated . In the summer of 1990 , Company C moved from its Pershing II mission and provided security for Operation Steel Box / Golden Python ( chemical weapons retrograde from Germany ) at Miesau Army Depot . The unit deployed to secure the temporary storage area at the Miesau rail head , guarding over 100 , 000 toxic chemical artillery projectiles in steel shipping containers . Company C received the Army Superior Unit Award for flawless execution of this security mission .

The combat support company was disbanded in 1995 and the platoons reassigned to the HHC . In order to support the USAERUR commander ’ s training strategy the battalion portrays a brigade tactical group or an insurgency that challenges all the battlefield operating systems of rotational units in force - on - force situations . The battalion has trained units deploying to Bosnia , Kosovo , Iraqi , and Afghanistan during high intensity conflict rotations , and mission readiness exercises . Additionally , the battalion has deployed forces to other countries to take part in training exercises to include the training of security forces for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens , Greece . In addition to its OPFOR mission , the battalion has the same training requirements as other infantry battalions in the army . The battalion conducts squad external evaluations , tank gunnery , antitank gunnery , training for urban operations , marksmanship , and live fire exercises . Afghanistan . In August 2004 the battalion deployed Company A to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom . Team Apache was awarded the Meritorious Unit Commendation ( MUC ) for its outstanding performance of duty as the only US force in the International Security Assistance Force from August to December 2004 . The MUC citation reads : During the period of 31 August to 12 December 2004 , Company A , 1st Battalion , 4th Infantry distinguished themselves while in support of the International Security Assistance Force operations led by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in Afghanistan . They provided superb support to coalition forces supporting a safe and successful Afghanistan National Presidential Election . Throughout the operation the company performed as a lethal , responsive , and relevant combat force directly responsible for supporting security and stabilization forces in theater . Their ability to respond to crisis was superb . Company A , 1st Battalion , 4th Infantry ’ s efforts reflect great credit upon themselves , the North Atlantic Treaty Organization , and the United States Army . In August 2005 the battalion deployed Company D to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom . Team Dragon was used as a force protection company for the newly formed Afghanistan elections . Team Dragon was awarded the Joint Meritorious Unit Commendation for its outstanding performance of duty . After a successful mission most of Team Dragon returned November 2006 . During 2006 , the 2nd Battalion , 4th Infantry formed the core of a task force that deployed to Zabol Province in eastern Afghanistan for Operation Enduring Freedom . Along with other elements of the 4th Brigade , 10th Mountain Division , 2 – 4 Infantry and TF Boar conducted combat operations in support of Combined Forces Command Afghanistan and the International Security Assistance Force . Starting in July 2006 and ended in January 2011 , the 1st Battalion , 4th Infantry relieved its sister battalion in Zabol Province , Afghanistan , as part of ISAF ' s assumption of responsibility for the province . As part of TF Zabul , nominally under Romanian command , 1 – 4 maintained a reinforced infantry company in the mountainous northern regions of the province , responsible for all combat operations in that area . The battalion rotated companies every 7 to 8 months , starting with C Company , followed in turn by B , A , and D companies . While each task force was deployed , the remaining companies of 1 – 4 continued their OPFOR mission in Hohenfels , Germany as well as training for their next combat mission in Afghanistan . 2 – 4 Infantry deployed again in late 2007 to Iraq with 4th Brigade , 10th Mountain Division , this time for 15 months as part of the " surge " strategy . Their deployment ended January 2009 . 2 – 4 Infantry once again deployed to Afghanistan in 2010 under 4th Brigade , 10th Mountain Division in support of Operation Enduring Freedom . As of 7 January 2011 the 1st Battalion , 4th Infantry has halted all deployments to Afghanistan after C Company ' s return , and they now serve only as the OPFOR unit for Hohenfels , Germany . C Company conducted combat operations in support of Operation Enduring Freedom XX in 3 different provinces including Logar , Wardak and Kabul . They were spread out into 7 different Village Stability Outposts while directly supporting 7 different ODA ' s and 3 separate Navy Seal teams .

Mission to Zigoola The Mission to Zigoola was an operation that took place in 22 BBY during the Clone Wars . Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious set a trap for Jedi Master Obi - Wan Kenobi and Senator Bail Prestor Organa on the remote Wild Space planet Zigoola , home to a Sith temple . Prelude . Several years before the Clone Wars began , Organa was contacted by a group dubbed the Friends of the Republic as he served as the head of negotiations between Alderaan and Chandrila to settle a joint mining venture . The group gave him the information needed to thwart an unspecified diplomatic and humanitarian disaster that Organa believed would engulf much of the Galactic Republic . He kept in contact with the Friends of the Republic thereafter , receiving occasional bits of intelligence regarding the war . In 22 BBY , the group contacted him on a secret comlink , granting him information regarding a society of beings who utilized the dark side of the Force called Sith who were planning an assault on the Jedi Order . Organa immediately took the information to his friend Senator Padmé Amidala , who had undertaken matters on behalf of the Jedi before and whom he considered an honorary Jedi herself . After relating the information to her , Amidala made a call to the Jedi Temple , asking Obi - Wan Kenobi to meet at her apartment , where Organa related the tale to him , much to the Jedi Master ' s skepticism . The meeting adjourned shortly afterward , with Kenobi promising to keep an open mind and to watch out for any potential threats . Days later , Organa received another communique from the Friends , this time bestowing him with the specific location of a Sith temple on Zigoola . The Senator bypassed Amidala this time , contacting Kenobi at the Jedi Temple directly and meeting at Organa ' s apartment , where he informed his Jedi confidante that he had initial coordinates and would be making the trip to Zigoola with or without Jedi assistance . Unwilling to allow a politician so inexperienced in combat take on such a vital mission alone , Kenobi contacted the Temple and was granted permission to accompany Organa on his quest . The mission . Coruscant to Munto Codru . The mission took place in several stages , starting out as Organa ' s private vessel cleared Coruscant ' s airspace , triggering a pre - recorded away message that let the Friends know he was ready to upload coordinates . The first stretch led the two to space bordering Kuat , then from there to Atzerri . Though the men initially took a disliking to each other , they were able to pass the time with games of sabacc and philosophical debates , Kenobi meditating intermittently and Organa working on political business for the Senate . While waiting for their next set of coordinates at Atzerri , Kenobi began suffering vivid nightmares during his meditations , but shook them off as the Friends instructed them to continue on to Munto Codru , in the distant reaches of the Outer Rim . Pirate attack . The coordinates by Munto Codru revealed only one landmark : a decrepit space station , which the two traveling companions decide is the headquarters of the Friends of the Republic . Pushing Organa ' s vessel into the docking bay , it became more and more evident that a struggle had taken place recently , and through examination of the discarded weapons and several bodies , Kenobi was able to deduce that the station had been attacked by pirates . Moving swiftly through the station , the two came to the command center , where they found one woman fighting off the rest of the attackers and their assault droids . Largely through use of the Force and a lightsaber , the pirates were defeated and the woman was able to reveal herself as Alinta , Organa ' s contact . As it became more and more obvious that Alinta had suffered a mortal wound , she made it a point to give the men the final coordinates they needed to reach Zigoola . She died shortly thereafter , giving them her final instructions to destroy the space station as they leave . Although Organa was initially hesitant , Kenobi upheld his pledge and the Friends of the Republic were obliterated into space . Zigoola . Alinta ' s final coordinates led the two into Wild Space , where they did indeed come across the Sith planet . With just a bit of trepidation , Kenobi attempted to land the ship , only to find himself overwhelmed by a Sith presence in his mind compelling him to Force choke Organa and crash the yacht . While the Jedi Master was able to break free of the hold just in time , he was unable to prevent their only mode of transportation from crashing into the planet ' s surface . Reawakening later and holding a brief firelight conference with his traveling companion , Kenobi came to the conclusion that the only possible way to survive would be to reach the Sith temple and use one of the artifacts to make contact with a Jedi at the Temple . Having spotted their goal during the crash landing , Kenobi and Organa begin their trek , suffering days of pounding Sith mental attacks ; several complete breakdowns including one in a forest which led to a scathing lightsaber assault against the hallucination of Asajj Ventress darting through trees ; and several recursions back into haunting memories such as firebeetle s , the deaths of Tayvor Mandirly , Xanatos and Qui - Gon Jinn and his and Anakin Skywalker ' s mutilation at the hands of Count Dooku during the Battle of Geonosis . Through pounding rain and lightning storms , Kenobi and Organa clambered through to the temple , utilizing Kenobi ' s discovery that pain dulled the Sith voices and instructing Organa to use his lightsaber whenever necessary . Although they reached the temple in more or less one piece , Kenobi collapsed just outside and Organa was forced to go in on his own , despite having absolutely no clue what any of the artifacts did . Realizing this fact , the Senator crawled outside and forced Kenobi to accompany him , tortuously finding a crystal that enhanced long - distance Force communication . Rescue . Deep in meditation on Coruscant , Grand Master Yoda sensed Kenobi ' s call , as well as a massively strong dark side presence that would prove a mortal danger to any Jedi sent to rescue him . He made a personal call to Padmé Amidala , asking her to undertake the mission to Zigoola with Captain Korbel . Amidala accepted , and made the mission unmolested , successfully picking up Kenobi and Organa and transporting them back to Coruscant . Aftermath . Due to Kenobi ' s tampering with the artifacts and triggering security measures in the Sith temple , the building collapsed in on itself , destroying its dark power and all of the dark side weapons within . Although both Kenobi and Organa were gravely injured and exhausted from the mission , they were able to complete their objective and form a lasting friendship , which would result in Kenobi trusting Organa as the adoptive father of Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala ' s daughter Leia Organa Solo .

aargau

Aargau / Legends Aargau ( ) was a planet in the Zug system of the Core Worlds region , not far from Coruscant and the Corellian Run . It was run by and served as the headquarters for the Bank of Aargau , which was part of the InterGalactic Banking Clan . Numerous other banks and corporations were also based on Aargau , including the Z - Gomot Ternbuell Guppat Corporation . Aargau was an exceptionally wealthy world , due both to its status as a financial center , as well as the planet ' s vast reserves of rare and precious metals . Aargau was a member of the Galactic Republic from its discovery until the end of that galactic power . After the fall of the Galactic Empire , it was considered a New Republic stronghold . The region of space occupied by the planet would later fall under the hegemony of first the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances , and then subsequently Darth Krayt ' s Galactic Empire . Despite this , Aargau took a neutral approach to politics , which meant that warring factions were mutually welcome to conduct business on the planet . The planetary government imposed only three laws on citizens and visitors , called the Three Statutes of Aargau . These laws focused on the export of Aargau ' s natural resources , the absolute ban on weapons for visitors — and , conversely , the requirement to bear arms for Aargauuns — as well as maintaining the integrity of the Bank of Aargau . Breaking any of these rules was punishable by immediate execution . Description . Aargau occupied a central location in the Core Worlds region ; not only was it in close proximity to the politically important world of Coruscant , it was also surrounded by hyperlane s such as the Corellian Run and the Ag Circuit . Thanks to this , combined with a culture fixated on banking and finance , as well as enormous reserves of valuable metals , the planet became an economic powerhouse . Several governments , corporations , and organizations stored their assets in the planet ' s thousands of secure vaults . Aargau ' s government , the Bank of Aargau , which in turn was owned by the InterGalactic Banking Clan , operated with only three primary laws called the Three Statutes of Aargau , all of which were punishable with death if broken . It was illegal to export Aargau ' s rare metals without proper approval , for non - Aargauuns to carry weapons — on the other hand , it was illegal for Aargauun citizens to be unarmed — and finally , it was unlawful to " defraud , discredit or deceive " the Bank of Aargau . The Bank ' s wholly owned subsidiary Bank of Aargau Security was , at the time of the Galactic Empire , the largest privately owned army in the galaxy . The Aargau Home Guard frequently played war games around Aargau ' s capital , New Escrow . This display of military power was meant to deter foreign powers from invading the planet , but in reality , Aargau ' s financial position already ensured this was an unpopular notion . Due to the planet ' s laws on export , the Bank of Aargau Security subsidiary BAS Customs strictly monitored all inbound and outgoing traffic . Much of Aargau ' s surface was covered by city , though far from all of it . While the higher , newer levels of the cities were seat to the planet ' s political and financial power , the millions of years - old lower levels referred to as the Undercity , were home to a seedier element , which included members of the Hutt Desilijic clan . Due to Aargau ' s unique laws , this group of people were free to conduct their somewhat shady business mostly in peace . History . Early history . Aargauun history stretched back millions of years , to the construction of its first cities by the planet ' s original natives . The existence of the enormous Dawn Pyramid of Aargau — considered by the historian Vicendi to be one of the Twenty Wonders of the Galaxy — led some scientists to believe the planet had been visited by the Sharu civilization several thousands of years prior to the founding of the Galactic Republic . Aargau was discovered by the Republic and the galactic community at large between 20 , 000 and 17 , 000 BBY , in the period of time referred to as the Great Manifest Period . Over time , Humans came to be the dominant species of the planet , and the Bank of Aargau became its planetary government . It was considered a major financial center by 3963 BBY , and was in direct competition with the Telerath Interstellar Banking Initiative until Telerath was abandoned during the Mandalorian Wars . Clone Wars . In 22 BBY , just prior to the outbreak of the Clone Wars , Senator Aks Moe of Malastare was killed in a bomb explosion in New Escrow . Moe was visiting the planet to negotiate a deal with the InterGalactic Banking Clan to secure funding for a proposed Republic military initiative to deal with the Separatist Crisis , which concerned a rapidly growing secessionist movement within the Republic itself . This movement was suspected of being involved with Moe ' s assassination , but that claim was never proven . When the war broke out , Aargau retained its neutral stance , despite the fact that the Banking Clan were heavily involved in the war on the Separatist side . The Republic , fearful for its substantial investments , and suspecting the Banking Clan of manufacturing " Hailfire " droids on the planet , garrisoned a large peacekeeping force of clone troopers in major cities , including the InterGalactic Banking Clan Arcology . This was not without controversy : technically , the Republic occupation broke one of the Three Statutes of Aargau , specifically the one stating no non - Aargauuns could carry weapons . Not before Aargau threatened to secede did the Republic send diplomatic envoys . Republic intervention , however , did not stop the prominent Confederacy of Independent Systems official San Hill from visiting the planet to attempt to recruit the crime lord Gorga Desilijic Aarrpo to the Separatist cause — a meeting that , by chance , was witnessed by the future leader of the Mandalorians , Boba Fett . During the war , the neutral organization Aargau Medical Observer Corps investigated recent battlefields for evidence of war crimes . This inquisitional organ was tolerated by both sides of the conflict . Galactic Civil War . In the early days of the Galactic Empire , the Galactic Corporate Policy League held a week - long meeting on Aargau in the famed Dragonbird Gardens to plan and write the charter proposing the establishment of the Corporate Sector Authority , a Corporate Sector - based interplanetary government focused on free enterprise . The planet retained its neutrality throughout the Galactic Civil War , which meant that both the Alliance to Restore the Republic and Galactic Empire could conduct business on the banking world . In 3 ABY Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan attempted to secure a loan for the Alliance that would enable the organization to procure several T - 65 X - wing starfighter s . The collateral presented for the loan were the priceless Crown Jewels of Alderaan . Imperial Supreme Commander and Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader , also on Aargau at the time , feigned an attempt to stop Organa ' s financial transaction from going through . His actual objective was securing the crown jewels , which he promptly stole as soon as the Alliance ' s loan was approved . Both Organa and Vader were tried " in absentia " following this incident , and were recommended to be arrested should either of them return to the planet . Vader also retained an account on Aargau , which Lando Calrissian hacked to place the embezzled funds from Captain Hugo Treece into it as revenge for ther latter ' s backstabbing him and his use of slavery on Cloud City ' s Ugnaught populace . During the Imperial Civil War , a conflict that lasted from 4 to 12 ABY , Aargau became a New Republic fortress world , and was garrisoned with a fleet consisting of hundreds of warships . Between 10 and 11 ABY , following the resurrection of Emperor Palpatine , a battle between Imperial forces from the Deep Core and the New Republic was fought on Aargau . Later history . Aargau completely avoided the destruction wrought by the Yuuzhan Vong War . The region of space occupied by the planet fell under the political hegemony of the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances , and later Darth Krayt ' s Galactic Empire . Inhabitants . The original native people of Aargau were responsible for beginning construction on the world ' s many cities . However , by the Galactic Civil War , Humans had become the dominant species on the planet , although , as a major financial hub in the galaxy , thousands of other species were represented . Locations . IBC Arcology . The InterGalactic Banking Clan was based in a mammoth pyramid - shaped structure , which was subdivided into seven color - coded levels . The higher levels were reserved for finance and lodgings , while the lower levels were employed for logistical and entertainment purposes . The lowest level of the massive building contained Aargau ' s Undercity . New Escrow . Aargau ' s capital , New Escrow was a remarkably wealthy city , something that was evident in its unique and luxurious architecture . Air traffic in the capital was directed to a complex network of roads , which made it arguably somewhat safer than other similarly sized cities . New Escrow was also home to the Garden of Butterflies , a place where visitors could conduct business surrounded by a large collection of butterflies . Behind the scenes . Aargau was first introduced by writer Larry Hama in of Marvel ' s " Star Wars " comic series . The planet was mentioned mostly in passing in later works . It was not until 2003 ' s " " as well as the " " article on Wizards of the Coast ' s website that Aargau was revisited , both sources substantially fleshing out the planet . Aargau ' s location was finally pinpointed in " The Essential Atlas " . On writing " Boba Fett : Maze of Deception " , author Elizabeth Hand stated that she was given names and places that had to come into play , such as " Mace Windu " or " Aargau . " Since the planet existed within the " Star Wars " universe as only a name at the time , she was tasked with creating its history , ecology and culture .

The human race is sleepwalking towards extinction . Now the time is right for the next phase of the Cyber plan to begin . " THERE IS NOTHING TO FEAR . . . " Plot . Samantha Thorn is an undercover Android secret agent , who has managed to return home from her assignment on Earth . She posed as the girlfriend of Paul Hunt to gain information on the Scorpius project and if it posed a threat to them . Prime Reordin , leader of the Androids and her lover , believes that Scorpius is no longer a threat . Just then , a distress call is received from Tracking Station Beta - 4 , which is under attack by a single Earth Forces raider . Despite overwhelming opposition , the raider disables their defences before Cybermen emerge to massacre the crew . As Androids cannot be converted , Cybermen simply destroy them . The Earth Government must be doing this in secret , but attempting to warn them would be dismissed as propaganda . It would be best if exposed by someone inside the government . Samantha returns to Earth and again goes undercover . Back on Earth , Paul Hunt has become a political advisor to President Karen Brett and is deputising for her while she and the Vice President are touring , something that doesn ’ t sit well with Commander - in - Chief Liam Barnaby , as Hunt is not an elected official and should not be empowered to make decisions on behalf of the administration . Barnaby has discovered evidence of secret incursions into Android space without his knowledge and all broadcasts received from the Androids are being jammed and deleted without been listened to . Hunt dismisses this as Android propaganda and implies Brett must have a good reason for keeping her Commander - in - Chief out of the loop . To calm down , Barnaby programs a scenic route home , but is nearly driven off the road by an unknown car , which leaves before emergency services can arrive . All security footage of the incident is found to have been lost . Determined to discover more about Paul Hunt , Barnaby accesses his personal files . Although there isn ’ t much , he learns that his former residence is now registered to a Samantha Thorne , who currently resides in Oceanic City . After visiting her , Hunt convinces Brett that Barnaby ’ s investigation into his past could endanger their attempts to achieve victory in Orion . Brett , under Hunt ’ s influence , blocks Barnaby ’ s attempts to hold an inquiry into Hunt ’ s past . Despite Barnaby ’ s concerns over Hun ’ s past or the continuing deterioration of the Orion war , she accuses him of letting his dislike of Paul Hunt cloud his professional judgement . She then informs him that the press have been informed that Barnaby is taking some personal leave , and has him escorted out of the White House . Frustrated , Barnaby contacts Samantha Thorne once again , only to learn that she ’ s abused her position as a data entry clerk to hack into the White House security net and learn that he ’ s just been fired . However , she warns him that if he turns her in for the security breach , he ’ ll never learn the truth about Paul Hunt . After evading secret agents who had been following Barnaby , Samantha tells him to meet her later by the old docks where she will tell him about Scorpius . Barnaby meets Samantha later as planned , but he ’ s been followed and is hit by weapons fire . Samantha manages to get Barnaby to a jet - boat she prepared earlier and escapes , but not before been hit herself . As Barnaby passes out from the pain , he realises that Samantha ’ s wound should have been fatal . Five days later , after healing , Barnaby awakens on the jet - boat with Samantha . Remembering what happened at the dock , he realises she is an Android , but is powerless to do anything : she is far faster and stronger than him , so escape or overpowering her are not possible . Earth is been flooded with refugees escaping the Orion conflict . These is an old penal colony on the Isle of White , which has been turned into a temporary refugee camp . Samantha has traced mysterious transmissions to the penal colony : a transmission made by Paul Hunt . The penal colony ’ s shore defences detect the boat , forcing them to abandon it and swim to shore . Barnaby does not trust her , but his preconceptions are shaken when a Cyberman walks past them on patrol and he recognises it from the hologram on Reticek IV . They are discovered by a Cyberman , but they claim to have wandered away from the rest of the refugees , and it herds them back to the camp . The refugees believe that they ’ re being taken to a medical base for vaccination shots and the Cybermen are soldiers wearing radiation protection suits . Barnaby and Samantha are taken into a treatment cell , where the first stage of Cyber - conversion begins and Barnaby ’ s emotions are suppressed . There is nothing to fear . . .

Western Army ( Russia ) The Western Army ( ) or 16th Army was created on November 15 , 1918 , by the Russian SFSR for the purpose of recovering territories lost by the Russian Empire during the First World War and establishing Soviet republics in those territories . The Western Army engaged various local forces from the Baltic States , Belarus , Poland and Ukraine , and its actions contributed to starting the Polish – Soviet War of 1919 – 1920 . History . After the Treaty of Brest - Litovsk , the newly established Russo - German border was controlled on the Russian side , by the so - called Western Section of Curtain Troops ( Западный участок отрядов завесы ) , or simply the Western Curtain . The curtain was a sparse and heterogeneous set of detachments . Its commander was Vladimir Egoryev . ( His official rank was " military leader " ( военный руководитель ) , since he was a former Tsarist general ) The Western Curtain covered over 800 kilometres along the line Nevel – Polotsk – Senno – Orsha – Mogilev – Zhlobin – Gomel – Novy Oskol . Eventually the Western Curtain was arranged into seven detachments with over 20 , 000 troops . This number was actually very small in relation to the area it covered , and insufficient in case of any larger battle . Moreover , part of its manpower was moved to other bottlenecks of the Russian Civil War . Eventually , further recruiting by the Red Army allowed a reorganization of the detachments of the Curtain into regular division s , and the Western Curtain was further reorganized into the Western Defense Region ( Западный район обороны ) . It was created by the Revolutionary Military Council order # 3 / 2 on September 11 , 1918 . The Region extended from Petrograd to the Western edge of the Southern Front , and was commanded by Andrey Snesarev ( Андрей Евгеньевич Снесарев ) . After the Treaty of Brest - Litovsk was annulled by the Soviets on November 13 , 1918 the Western Defense Region was transformed into the Western Army ( November 15 , 1918 ) , garrisoned in Smolensk . It was composed of : the Pskov – Lithuanian Infantry Division , the 17th Vitebsk Riflemen Division , the ' Western ' Riflemen Division and units of the 2nd Area of Front Defense . By the end of 1918 , the strength of the Western ( 16th ) Army was around 19 , 000 men , but had little artillery or cavalry ( 8 guns and 261 horses total ) . Over the next few months the strength of the Army grew to 46 , 000 men . It was considered by the Soviet High Command to be one of the least important armies in that period . Immediately after its formation , on November 17 , 1918 , the Western Army started a bloodless advance , following the retreat of the German forces , in the direction of Belarus and Ukraine . The purpose of the Russian westward offensive of 1918 – 1919 was to take control over the territory abandoned by the German Army retreating from the Ober - Ost theater of operations . Later the Soviet Western Army engaged various self - defence and militia groups from Belarus , Lithuania , Poland and Ukraine . Among scores of battles , the Battle of Bereza Kartuska on February 14 sparked the Polish – Soviet War .

fort defiance
|
Fort Defiance ( Ohio ) Fort Defiance was ordered built by General " Mad " Anthony Wayne in August 1794 at the confluence of the Auglaize and Maumee rivers . It was the last of a line of defenses constructed by American forces in the campaign leading to the Northwest Indian War ' s Battle of Fallen Timbers on August 20 , 1794 . Work began on August 9 , 1794 and was completed by August 17 . The name was derived from a declaration by Charles Scott , who was leading a band of Kentucky militiamen in support of Wayne , that : " I defy the English , Indians , and all the devils of hell to take it . " The post was considered one of the strongest fortifications built in that period . Following the Battle of Fallen Timbers , Wayne used Fort Defiance as his base of operations and ordered the destruction of all Native American villages and their crops within a radius of the fort . Under terms of the Treaty of Greenville , signed on August 3 , 1795 , the native nations ceded six square miles around the fort and allowed the Americans to maintain a trading post there , even though it was within the area of land defined by the " Greenville Treaty Line " , beyond which Americans had agreed not to settle . Until the War of 1812 , Fort Defiance was one of the westernmost outposts in Ohio . William Henry Harrison used it as one base for his attacks against Native Americans during Tecumseh ' s War , and the fort played a role in the War of 1812 as well . The city of Defiance , Ohio , was founded at the fort ' s location . In 1904 , the site of the fort was chosen for the Defiance Public Library . Fort Defiance served as a reference point for defining the boundary line of land cession in the Treaty of Detroit in 1807 . This north - south line would be used again as the Michigan Meridian in the survey of lands in Michigan . Today , a park occupies the site of the fort , which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 .

a hard battle

Battle over Exodo II The Battle over Exodo II took place in 44 ABY within the Exodo system , a region located in the Outer Rim Territories of the galaxy . It was fought by a battle fleet of the Imperial Remnant commanded by Head of State Jagged Fel , aided by Admiral Vitor Reige , and secretly by Moff Tol Getelles , against the insurrectionist forces of the Maw Irregular Fleet and rebellious Moffs under the leadership of Natasi Daala . The battle site was over the planet Exodo II . Daala , a former Chief of State of the Galactic Alliance who was removed from power by the Jedi Order after a highly controversial term in office , attempted to regain her hold over the galaxy by usurping control of the Imperial Remnant from Fel . In order to achieve her objective , she forced several members of the Moff Council , including Drikl Lecersen and Tol Getelles , to support her bid for power . However , Moff Getelles secretly remained loyal to Fel , whom he informed of Daala ' s plot though subterfuge . Due to Getelles ' aid , Fel learned that Daala ' s forces had converged in the Exodo system to prepare for their eventual military takeover of the Remnant . After swiftly assembling a fleet of Imperial warships , including a vanguard unit from the Empire of the Hand , Fel directed his fleet to ambush and destroy Daala ' s subversives through a preemptive strike . History . Prelude . Natasi Daala was freed from prison by Mandalore Boba Fett shortly after the Jedi Council removed her from office through force . By then , however , the Jedi had already established a new regime to facilitate a smooth transition of power . With the cooperation of the Senate and the Defense Force , the Jedi established a Triumvirate , an alliance of three leaders who would share the executive responsibilities of the Chief of State . With Coruscant under the full control of the new government , Daala had no other choice than to flee into exile , after which she immediately contemplated her options for regaining her lost power . With most of the galaxy under the rule of the Galactic Alliance , the only major power that could rival the Alliance ' s military might was the Imperial Remnant . Daala , once an officer in the former Galactic Empire , sought to reestablish her authority as the new leader of the Remnant . But in order to do so , first she had to remove Jagged Fel from his position as Head of State . In addition to regaining control of the Maw Irregular Fleet , Daala had to search for support amongst the Moffs , the Remnant ' s regional governors whom she had loathed for decades since the time of the old Empire . Although the feelings of hate were mutual , the Moffs felt little loyalty for Fel , whom they resented as an outsider that was placed in control of the Remnant by the former Jedi Coalition . Fel was only able to rely on the support of a minority of Moffs ; the vast majority of the Moff Council hated him outright . One of the first Moffs to join Daala ' s cause was Porrak Vansyn , who had been openly vocal about his discontent with Fel ' s leadership and support for Daala ' s fall from power . Through the intelligence gathering of Boba Fett , Daala gained the support of several other Moffs , including Drikl Lecersen and Tol Getelles , through blackmail . However , Daala was unaware of the fact that Getelles was only feigning his loyalty to her in order to infiltrate the conspiracy . Shortly after being confronted by Fel because of the illegal experiments that had been conducted under his supervision , Getelles informed Daala that he shot and killed Fel . In truth , he merely stunned the Head of State and then revealed Daala ' s plot to seize control of the Imperial Remnant . While Fel amassed his forces in preparation for a preemptive strike on Daala ' s coup d ' état , Getelles fooled Daala into believing that Fel had been assassinated . Daala fell for Getelles ' trick and amassed her party of insurrectionists in order to take control of Bastion and , by extension , the Imperial Remnant . Upon rendezvousing in the Exodo system , Daala ' s primary force was composed of the warships that comprised the Maw Irregular Fleet , which included the " Chimaera " , a " Venator " - class Star Destroyer , a " Republic " - class cruiser , an " Acclamator " - class assault ship , several frigates , three corvettes of two classes , and twelve wings of starfighters . Due to high costs , none of the fleet ' s ships were able to retain their advanced weaponry . The Maw Irregular Fleet was supplemented with the Remnant starships , such as an " Imperial II " - class Star Destroyer , an Immobilizer 418 cruiser , nearly three dozen smaller vessels ( including frigates , corvettes , an escort cruiser , and a starfighter carrier ) , and nine wings of starfighters under the command of Moff Lecersen . While still under the pretense of supporting Daala , Getelles contributed his force of four Star Destroyers , a carrier , eight starfighter wings , and nearly a dozen combined frigates and corvettes to the insurrectionists ' fleet . Moffs Vansyn and Trevin brought together twenty more vessels . The combined main force ultimately totalled nearly twenty Star Destroyers . The battle . While Daala remained ignorant of Getelles ' true allegiance , Jagged Fel and his loyalist faction amassed a fleet of Remnant warships . The Empire of the Hand , a fellow successor state to the first Galactic Empire , dispatched a vanguard of ships to aid in Fel ' s attempt to hold onto power . With the support of Admiral Vitor Reige and the protection of Tahiri Veila , a fallen Jedi Knight and former Sith Lady , Fel personally directed his ships as they converged on Daala ' s position in the Exodo system . Daala and her allies , caught completely by surprise , were initially unable to offer sufficient resistance to launch an effective counterattack against the Remnant assault . As Fel ' s forces attacked from the front , Getelles ' revealed his true loyalties and directed his Star Destroyers to attack the Maw Irregular Fleet . At first , the battle proceeded well in Fel ' s favor . But just as Daala was on the verge of total defeat with most of her fleet obliterated , Lecersen ' s ships managed to destroy Fel ' s main command center , the hollowed - out moon Boreleo , including the " Gilad Pellaeon " that was hidden inside the natural satellite of Exodo II . The irreparable damage caused to the " Pellaeon " forced Jagged Fel , Tahiri Veila and Ashik — Fel ' s Chiss aide — to abandon the doomed flagship . Command of the Remnant fleet was passed over to the " Bloodfin " once the Head of State was safely aboard . Yet despite Fel ' s survival of the " Pellaeon ' s " destruction , the Remnant ships fell into an increasingly brutal fight against Daala ' s forces , with neither side gaining a tactical advantage to achieve a decisive victory .

Royal Australian Army Nursing Corps The Royal Australian Army Nursing Corps ( RAANC ) is a Corps of the Australian Army . It was formed in February 1951 from the Royal Australian Army Nursing Service . A Corps Badge was introduced in 1951 with the motto " Pro Humanitate " ( for Humanity ) . It embraces the values of compassion and service to others , reflecting the care and dedication provided to the wounded and sick . Approval for the Corps flag was granted on 7 February 1958 . History . The history of RAANC can be traced back to the formation of the Army Nursing Service on 13 August 1898 . At the time it was made up of one Lady Superintendent and 24 nurses . The service saw its first action in the Boer war , when the New South Wales and Victorian governments arranged for a detachment of nurses to deploy with their troops to Africa . Groups and individual nurses from Western Australia , South Australia and Queensland also served in the Anglo - Boer War . Due to the performance of the nurses in that conflict , an order was given in 1902 for the formation of the Australian Army Nursing Service under the control of the Federal Government . It is this order ' s promulgation , 1 July 1903 , which is celebrated as RAANC Corps day . 2 , 139 AANS female nurses served overseas in the World War I with 423 serving in Australia , together with 130 Australians who worked with Queen Alexandra ’ s Imperial Military Nursing Service . 25 died on active service and 388 were decorated . In World War II , 3 , 477 women joined the AANS with 71 members losing their lives ( 23 in battle and 18 as a result of accident or illness ) . 38 became Prisoner of War . 137 decorations were awarded including two George Medal s . In 1945 , Princess Alice , Duchess of Gloucester , became the Honorary Colonel and in 1948 the service was renamed as the Royal Australian Army Nursing Service .

Outsider ( Final Fantasy VI ) The Outsider is an enemy in " Final Fantasy VI " . It is dangerous , and often attacks in pairs accompanied by an equally dangerous Cherry . Battle . Outsider can throw various weapons , the thrown weapons increasing in power every turn . It counters physical attacks by throwing a Shuriken and magic attacks by throwing a Fuma Shuriken , both of which are powerful . Their special attack , Dispatch , instantly kills its target . As it is a physical attack , it ignores protection from the Safety Bit and Memento Ring , which guard against magical Death . The Outsider uses Dispatch against itself on its sixth turn . Strategy . It is advised to cast Holy or Banish on Outsiders to kill them quickly before they wipe out the party . If it is controlled , it can also cast Flare and Banish . Man - Eaters will deal double damage to Outsiders as they count as humanoid enemies . Coliseum setup . The Outsider can be annoying to defeat , because it has not one , but two abilities that can instantly kill the player : Dispatch and Banish . Its melee attack and Flare do minimal damage , so as long as Outsider ' s Death abilities do not hit , it can be defeated in a short time . Should the player have mainly low - level characters , this can be an especially difficult victory to secure that may take multiple tries . A good bet for success may be to use Sabin and hope for him to use Phantom Rush which , even at lower - levels , is a devastating move . Another way is to equip Shadow with Ichigeki and Assassin ' s Dagger using the Genji Glove for a combined 50 % chance to kill Outsider before he can do it to Shadow . AI scripts . Normal script .

Unidentified Betshish species The swamp - planet Betshish was home to a sentient species . Their homeworld , which was located on the Pinooran Spur hyperlane of the Gordian Reach sector , between the Mogoshyn and Kli ' aar systems , was scouted by colonists from Setor looking for possible sites for a colony . The species went unnoticed during the initial survey of the planet , but were discovered upon the first major landing on the planet ' s surface . Their sentience rendered void the Colony ' s title to the planet , a fact later celebrated by the scout Lile Gorsek , who found the swamp - planet dismal and so was relieved not to have any ongoing connection with it . The species had developed to a pre - industrial technology by the time of the Galactic Empire . The Empire interdicted their homeworld , but never actually exploited the species . Behind the scenes .

The Awesome One wasn ’ t about to be excluded , so he , naturally , shot off his mouth , too . Finally , Truth bragged about how he put John Morrison in the hospital with a neck injury in the wake of his attack last week and insisted he get an opportunity as well . Raw ’ s anonymous General Manager , however , decided to arrange a Triple Threat Match to determine the No . 1 contender for the WWE Title – and , among the four , the rapping Superstar found himself odd man out . The Divas division continues to tremble – and with good reason . For the second week running , the braided behemoth Kharma targeted a Diva for punishment . This week , after Kelly Kelly & Eve managed to defeat Divas Champion Brie Bella & her sister Nikki , Kharma beat a path to the ring . Kelly Kelly exited , perhaps wisely , but Eve confronted the Divas ’ tormentor . The braided behemoth laid out the Latina lovely before darting from the ring in an attempt to get her hands on Kelly Kelly . After she realized the blond beauty was out of her grasp , she returned to the canvas , where she punished Eve with an utter lack of compassion . Last week , Mason Ryan leveled both WWE Tag Team Champions Kane & Big Show . This week , retribution came in one size : XXXL . As Kane tangled with Ryan in a singles match , his partner attacked The New Nexus ringleader CM Punk as they watched outside the ring . The attack prompted the rest of the New Nexus disciples to converge on The World ’ s Largest Athlete and his partner . Having dispensed of Ryan ’ s Nexus brethren as well , the WWE Tag Team Champions trained their considerable fury on the Welshman and demolished him with a double chokeslam . With his bothersome business associate , Vickie Guerrero , cheering him on , Dolph Ziggler tackled the challenge of Santino Marella . With the Italian in the ascendant , the “ new and improved ” Ziggler easily prevailed and demonstrated just why he could well represent , in the words of Guerrero , “ the present and future of WWE . ” Is there nothing Alex Riley won ’ t do to kiss up to The Miz ? After The Cleveland Screamer blamed him for blowing his WWE Title opportunity last week , Riley took it upon himself to challenge WWE Champion John Cena to a non - title match . Yikes ! After disposing of his opponent , The Champ spotted Miz approaching . As if to send a clear – and agonizing – message , Cena administered several Attitude Adjustments to Miz ’ s lackey before locking on an excruciating STF . Everybody knows , you don ’ t talk about another man ’ s momma . For Michael Cole , however , the rules of decorum never seem to apply . The cheese - eating announcer proclaimed his ring “ retirement ” before taunting his favorite target , Jerry Lawler . As a result , the WWE Hall of Famer confronted Cole and challenged him to another match – raising the stakes considerably . King told his nemesis that were he to lose , he would personally induct Cole into the WWE Hall of Fame himself and even give him his Hall of Fame ring . For his part , the weasely announcer refused the test and scurried back into his Cole Mine . Eventually , Cole ' s trainer Jack Swagger ambushed Lawler , leaving him hurting on the arena floor . Jerry Lawler has another chance to shut up the mouthy menace of Michael Cole . During a title match pitting U . S . Champion Kofi Kingston against Jack Swagger , the WWE Hall of Famer provoked Cole and his trainer , Swagger , into accepting a match challenge he issued earlier in the evening . Lawler distracted The All - American American , allowing Kingston to retain . Afterward , the WWE Hall of Famer attacked Swagger and moved on with determination to his fellow announcer . As Swagger defended Cole and ushered him up the entrance ramp , he took it upon himself to accept Lawler ’ s challenge . Alex Riley ’ s road to redemption just got a little shorter . During The Miz ’ s Triple Threat Match against Alberto Del Rio and Rey Mysterio to determine the No . 1 contender for the WWE Title , Riley proved invaluable to his boss . Just as it appeared that Mysterio would pin The Mexican Aristocrat for the win , Miz ’ s boot - licking lackey interfered , pulling Del Rio from the ring . The intrusion allowed The Miz to triumph , propelling him into a WWE Title Match against John Cena at Over the Limit . Upon hearing the news , The Champ addressed the WWE Universe , and The Cleveland Screamer in particular , explaining that he had decided to make their title match in two weeks an “ I Quit ” Match . Then , when tensions had seemed to settle , R - Truth flew into the ring and attacked an unsuspecting Mysterio , declaring , " Now , that ' s what ' s up ! "

Series 5 ( Doctor Who ) Series 5 of " Doctor Who " , also known as season 31 for clarity over season 5 , began its run on BBC One on 3 April 2010 , — almost twenty - one months after the last episode of the previous regular series — and ended on 26 June 2010 . It was notable for being the debut series for Eleventh Doctor Matt Smith and for introducing a new companion , Karen Gillan ' s Amy Pond and later Arthur Darvill ' s Rory Williams . From a production standpoint , the series featured the largest number of staff changes since the BBC Wales version debuted in 2005 . By far the most publicised was Steven Moffat ' s replacement of Russell T Davies as head writer , but whole departments within the production got new leadership , as well . The trailer for the series was yet again narrative , with new material filmed . Overview . New production team . In the spring of 2008 , it was announced that Steven Moffat , who had written Hugo Award - winning or - nominated scripts for the revived series in each of its first four seasons and whose association with " Doctor Who " dated back to his writing the Comic Relief parody " The Curse of Fatal Death " in the late 1990s , would succeed Russell T Davies as head writer and producer of the series . Davies officially retire d from involvement with the series after the 2009 specials and announced he had no plans to retain any direct connection to the series now Moffat ' s tenure had begun . However , in 2009 he said he would remain involved with production of " Torchwood " for the foreseeable future , and hoped to see further crossovers with " Doctor Who " , indicating he might not completely sever his ties with the parent show . Though a single 2010 two - parter of " The Sarah Jane Adventures " , " Death of the Doctor " , featured the Eleventh Doctor and former companion Jo Grant , the following year , Russell T Davies ' " Doctor Who " spin - off " The Sarah Jane Adventures " was cancelled . Following " Torchwood : Miracle Day " s broadcast in 2011 and Davies ' return to the United Kingdom , " Torchwood " has also been put on hold . Moffat stated that no characters from the Russell T Davies era would return in series 5 . This did not prove entirely true . River Song , a Moffat - created character from the Russell T Davies era , returned in four episodes of this series . Fellow executive producer Julie Gardner also left at the end of 2009 . She was replaced by Piers Wenger . Beth Willis was added as a third executive producer — giving the show three execs for the first time since Mal Young left at the end of Series 1 . The line producer of the series — a position once held by Phil Collinson — was split between Tracie Simpson and Peter Bennett , two members of the production staff who had risen to prominence during the 2009 specials . For the first time since 2005 , the series also credited a co - producer , Patrick Schweitzer , for episodes 6 and 10 , the two episodes filmed in Croatia . Other senior members of the production staff , such as production designer Ed Thomas and composer Murray Gold remained at their posts . Several departments underwent big changes beginning with " The Eleventh Hour " . Directors of photography Rory Taylor and Ernie Vincze — who between them had fairly evenly split responsibilities since 2005 — left , along with Davies and Gardner . They were replaced by a series of individuals , each handling only one or two episodes of the series . The costume department came under the leadership of Ray Holman , who replaced Louise Page , the longest - serving designer since the Hartnell era costumer Daphne Dare . The change , however , was not just the replacement of one individual with another , as Holman brought in members of his design company to fill junior positions in the costume department . Series 5 also saw a subtler behind - the - scenes change , especially for the more junior members of the production team . Combined with the general economic downturn that saw an across - the - board cut in jobs , it was also the first year since 2004 that " Torchwood " was not in some stage of production at BBC Wales . This meant there was some job competition at the Upper Boat Studios . Some long - term members of staff left the studios completely , while others took effective reductions in rank to remain . Arwel Wyn Jones , for instance , went from being the supervising art director for the previous two series to alternating set decorating duties with Julian Luxton . Still others remained in Wales , but shifted to Moffat ' s other Welsh production , " Sherlock " , or found placement on , or other BBC Wales programmes . Series numbering . The run - up to the broadcast of the series premiere was characterised by confusing and sometimes contradictory indications from BBC sources . According to issue 410 of " Doctor Who Magazine " , the BBC intended to begin the numbering of seasons yet again to reflect the change of production team . Thus , the 2010 season would ostensibly be marketed as " Series 1 " . A December 2009 announcement by the BBC regarding the show filming in Croatia also referred to the upcoming season as " Series 1 . " This seemed to be supported by photographs of location filming , which clearly showed clappers labelled " Series 1 " . This suggested that , at least internally , the production team believed it was , indeed , a " first " series . However , in early 2010 , Steven Moffat indicated in issue 418 of " Doctor Who Magazine " that this season would be referred to as " Season 31 " . In his column in issue 417 , Moffat addressed the confusion humorously , suggesting the season be called " Series Fnarg " . " It ' s a whole new number , " he wrote . " I haven ' t decided yet , but I think it ' s even . " Muddying the waters even further , BBC Video announced on 3 March 2010 that the first DVD release of episodes from the series , scheduled for issue in the UK in June 2010 , would be titled " Series Five , Volume 1 " . As of late June 2010 , there were conflicting sources which each marketed the series differently . BBC iPlayer listed it as series 5 , as did the DVD releases but on the " Doctor Who " website , they added a gallery called series 1 wallpapers . Even in the weeks immediately following series broadcast there was no definite information on the " official " numbering system for this series . However , from around the time of the full series DVD and Blu - ray box set , the name of this series firmly resolved into " series 5 " . The numbering of later series also firmly confirmed that this was indeed " series 5 " . New TARDIS team . During his acceptance speech for the award for Best Drama Performance at the National Television Awards on 29th October 2008 , David Tennant announced that he would not return for the 5th series . As the Tenth Doctor ' s companion , Donna Noble , had been ostensibly written out by the time , Tennant ' s announcement set up the possibility that series 5 would begin with a completely new set of starring actors . Aside from the special case of " Rose " , the only reasonably analogous situation in the history of " Doctor Who " was the start of Jon Pertwee ' s first season . On 3rd January 2009 , during a special episode of " Doctor Who Confidential " entitled " The Eleventh Doctor " , the BBC announced that Matt Smith would be playing the Eleventh Doctor . Smith succeeded Tennant in the last scene of " The End of Time " and Smith ' s Doctor was seen crashing towards the Earth in a flaming , badly damaged TARDIS . That scene also confirmed that the Doctor would almost certainly sever connections with previous companions , making way for the introduction of new co - star Karen Gillan , who would play the character of Amy Pond . New icons . In addition to the cast and crew changes , many of the other continuing elements of the show also underwent major redesigns at the start of the series . Most conspicuous was the 6 October 2009 unveiling of a new series logo — the first significant departure from the one that debuted on " Rose " . Likewise , the TARDIS itself got a noticeable exterior and radical interior make - over . British tabloid media reported the switch was due to the show ' s switch to high - definition production , although periodic revisions to the TARDIS are nothing new to the series . Changes both major and minor have occurred numerous times since 1963 . Along with the TARDIS change came a substantially redesigned sonic screwdriver , which was expected to remain the Doctor ' s all - purpose tool as it has been since the series returned in 2005 . A new " Doctor Who " theme arrangement was introduced , replacing the version introduced for the 2007 Christmas special . Discounting closing - credit variations and versions devised for non - series events , this was Murray Gold ' s third major arrangement of the Ron Grainer / Delia Derbyshire theme . Gold had now arranged more versions of the theme for TV than any other composer . Although some reviews referred to it as a new theme , it was still recognisably the same piece of music dating from 1963 . Television stories . Story arc . Shortly after the airing of the first episode , Matt Smith discussed the cracks in time and the mention of silence falling , telling the interviewer that they would be a key to the series story arc . He also mentioned that the crack might be one of five things that viewers needed to look out for throughout the series . The other four things remained unknown . In " The Eleventh Hour " , there was one on Amy ' s wall and one with a similar shape on the TARDIS scanner , which the Doctor looked at worriedly and quickly turned the screen off . A third crack was seen at the end of " The Beast Below " on the side of the United Kingdom space ship . The fourth one was seen at the end of " Victory of the Daleks " on the wall behind the TARDIS right as it disappeared . The crack played a major role in " Flesh and Stone " , appearing inside the " Byzantium " in the 51st century , larger than ever and prompting the Doctor to begin investigating it . The crack was connected to a history - ending , Big Bang - scale temporal explosion , on 26 . 06 . 2010 at Amy ' s wedding . It leaked time energy into the universe . This caused people and events to be erased from history , leaving no traces of their existence except in the memories of time travellers . Several events erased from time by the crack included the Cybermen creating the CyberKing in Victorian London and the Dalek invasion of 2009 , both of which occurred late in the Russell T Davies era . The Doctor closed the crack by feeding it an army of Weeping Angel s ( because they are complicated space - time events ) , but this was only temporary . The crack next appeared towards the end of " Cold Blood " during Rory ' s death scene . The Doctor reached inside the crack and drew a part of the TARDIS from inside it . ( TV : " Cold Blood " ) In " The Lodger " , a crack was seen behind Craig Owens ' fridge . A crack appeared on the TARDIS ' television screen in " The Pandorica Opens " , just before River Song left the TARDIS , whilst the words , " Silence will fall " , were heard just after she left . Adaptations and merchandising . Home media . DVD . All episodes of Series 5 were released in 2010 . Soundtrack . According to Who Online , the soundtrack for series 5 was released on 8th November , 2010 .

Vayne Carudas Solidor Vayne Carudas Solidor is the main antagonist of " Final Fantasy XII " . At 27 years old , he is the third son of Archadia ' s Emperor , Lord Gramis , the elder brother of Larsa Ferrinas Solidor , and part of House Solidor . Profile . Appearance . Vayne has blue eyes and shoulder - length black hair . He wears a dark - green pullover and pants , white gloves , a sleeveless armor with white - and - gold armlets with wings on shoulders and gold knee - pads . Vayne wears a cloak covered in dark blue , crimson and white as well as a gold belt . As Vayne Novus , most of his clothing dissolves leaving his armored gauntlets , boots and belt behind , while his body becomes more muscular and his face distorted . As The Undying Vayne looks identical to Vayne Novus at the core but with metal grafted onto his legs and torso , primarily on the left side . His left arm is covered by a cannon , while his right arm is a sword . He bears an assembly of swings and a crest over his head in the shape of a dragon ' s head , alluding to the Undying as being formed from the metal of the Sky Fortress " Bahamut " named after Bahamut , a recurring dragon summon in the series . Personality . Driven by the desire to become a new Dynast King , Vayne is lauded by friend and foe alike as a devious politician , skillful leader and administrator , and a military genius . Vayne is ruthless , manipulative , and obsessed with power . He allows no distractions or obstacles to his goals , removing them by whatever means needed . Vayne is not a brute however , and is intelligent and pragmatic in his pursuits , recognizing the value of political pawns he can hold over others by keeping enemies alive or manipulating their actions . Vayne values the legacy and stability of Archadia and House Solidor and will use any means to safeguard them . Though he is stated to have executed two of his brothers for treason , Vayne holds a soft spot for his younger brother , Larsa . Story . Vayne had two older brothers whom were branded traitors and killed by Vayne at the request of his father , most likely because he believed they were planning an uprising . Vayne has sworn to protect his younger brother , the innocent Larsa . While it is unknown when Vayne first met Venat and Dr . Cid and began conspiring with them to " put the reins of history back in the hands of Man , " it is known that he masterminded the invasions of Nabradia and Dalmasca to gain the Dusk Shard and the Midlight Shard , two pieces of deifacted nethicite critical for Cid ' s research at Draklor Laboratory , using the uprising of the Neo - Rozarria Faction in Nabradia as a pretext for invasion with the excuse of restoring peace and order to the country . After the Dalmascan counterattack at Nalbina Fortress , Vayne concocted the plot to fool the people of Dalmasca into thinking that Captain Basch fon Ronsenburg was a traitor and responsible for killing their King , Raminas B ' nargin Dalmasca . Using Basch ' s twin brother , Gabranth , who works for Archadia , the two played out a scenario in front of a wounded Dalmascan soldier , Reks , who would serve as a witness . Two years later , Vayne is appointed Consul of Rabanastre , making him the " de facto " ruler of Dalmasca . He delivers a speech to a skeptical crowd gaining their reluctant acceptance , and organizes a fete at the former Royal Palace of Rabanastre . The fête is a trap set up for the Resistance that storms the palace only to find soldiers and an Imperial battleship " Ifrit " awaiting . As Princess Ashe , a member of the Resistance , and her allies of circumstance are cornered by Vayne , Ashe is taken away to Judge Ghis ' s care on Dreadnought " Leviathan " while the sky pirates and a street thief named Vaan are sent off to the Nalbina Dungeon s . In the manga version , Vaan runs into Vayne on the palace grounds overseeing the battle between Resistance and Imperial forces , and Vayne invites him to strike him when Vaan yells at him for the death of his brother , Reks . When Vaan lunges at Vayne his attack is blocked by Gabranth and Vayne orders Vaan executed for having attacked an Archadian official . He is saved by the sky pirates Balthier and Fran . Later on , Vayne and Gabranth loot the palace treasury looking for the Dusk Shard , unaware it had been stolen by Vaan . Later still , when Ashe has acquired the Dawn Shard but Vossler ' s betrayal has the group captured by Ghis , Gabranth notifies Vayne , who in turn tells the Occuria n Venat they now have all three shards . Despite much pomp and ceremony , Vayne ' s tenure as Consul is short - lived . The Imperial Senate , favoring Larsa as a puppet Emperor over his ambitious and ruthless older brother , recalls Vayne to Archades . When Vayne confronts Gramis on this decision , his father explains Archadia is moving in the wrong direction , and that only Larsa can put them on the right path . Vayne reminds the Emperor that Archadia ' s power was built on military might over peaceful negotiation , a fact Gramis acknowledges , but declines to comment on further . Vayne states that ruthlessness at this point would be necessary , both to ensure that House Solidor retains power and remains sovereign , and that his brother Larsa would be protected from the schemes of the Imperial Senate . Gramis appears to have little power over the Senate at this point . Shortly afterwards Gramis is found dead in the throne room , supposedly poisoned by Chairman Gregoroth who has committed suicide . Vayne has the senators arrested for supposed regicide , and " temporarily " dissolves the Imperial Senate . Knowing that Judge Bergan would support him out of loyalty and Judge Zargabaath out of a wish to avoid internal strife , Vayne begins acting as the new Emperor of Archadia . Judge Drace sees through the façade and attempts to place Vayne under arrest . Despite pleas of mercy from Zargabaath , Vayne tries Drace for high treason , and Bergan , happy to serve his ruthless new Emperor , strikes her down . Knowing that Judge Gabranth personally reported to Gramis on Vayne ' s schemes , the latter decides to test the " hound ' s " loyalty and orders Gabranth , a dear friend of Drace , to administer the killing blow , which he delivers reluctantly . Vayne proceeds with his plan of becoming Ivalice ' s new Dynast King and putting history ' s reins back into the hands of man and out of the Occuria ' s , mysterious otherworldly beings that deem themselves the Gods of Ivalice . He sends Dr . Cid to the Pharos where he uses the Sun - Cryst , the motherlode of nethicite in Ivalice , to spill forth Mist over the world . The unleashed Mist is absorbed by and powering up Vayne ' s new Sky Fortress " Bahamut " , the largest aerial battleship ever built . The Sky Fortress plays a central role in the Battle above Rabanastre , during which Vayne plans to obliterate the Resistance forces led by Marquis Ondore and have the city of Rabanastre follow on the battle . Princess Ashe ' s party infiltrates the fortress and confronts Vayne with Larsa ' s aid . He is defeated , but by using the power of manufacted nethicite that had knocked Larsa out , Vayne transforms into Vayne Novus . Judge Gabranth turns on his former master upon witnessing him harming Larsa , and when Vayne is weakened , Gabranth plunges his sword into Vayne ' s chest . Vayne retaliates but is stopped by Larsa . While Vayne is still shocked by Larsa ' s actions , Vaan wounds Vayne . Escaping to the deck Vayne can ' t help but laugh at his current state . The rogue Occurian Venat offers comfort , saying they had succeeded in releasing the control of history from the hands of the Occuria as the Sun - Cryst was destroyed , giving Vayne its power as a way of thanks . Vayne uses his newly - gained power to fuse parts of " Bahamut " unto his body to become a mechanical dragon , but he is still defeated and explodes into a cloud of Mist taking Venat to the grave with him . Gameplay . The party fights Vayne onboard the Sky Fortress " Bahamut " . Larsa assists the player ' s party during the first battle . Vayne bears no weapon in this first battle , instead opting to use his fists in the same style as a Monk would . In the second battle , Gabranth will assist the party . Creation and development . Voice . Vayne is voiced by in the Japanese version . He is voiced by Elijah Alexander in the English release . " Final Fantasy XII " was Alexander ' s first experience with a video game .

Boulogne - sur - Mer Boulogne - sur - Mer ( , Latin : " Bononia " , ) is a city in northern France . It is a sub - prefecture of the department of Pas - de - Calais . Boulogne lies on the Côte d ' Opale , a touristic coast on the English Channel , and is the most - visited location in its region after the Lille conurbation . Boulogne is its department ' s second - largest city after Calais , and the 59th largest in France . It is also the country ' s largest fishing port , specialising in herring . Boulogne was founded during the Roman occupation of France , and as " Portus Itius " , was used for trade and conquest of Great Britain . After a period of Germanic presence following the collapse of the Empire , Boulogne was at the centre of an eponymous county of the Kingdom of France during the Middle Ages , and was occupied by the Kingdom of England numerous times due to conflict between the two nations . The city ' s 12th - century belfry is recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site , while another popular attraction is the marine conservation centre , Nausicaa . Name . The name Boulogne was first recorded during the Roman Empire as " Bononia " , possibly a derivative of the root found in the Celtic word " bona " meaning " foundation " , " settlement " , " citadel " , and also found in Vindobona , the Roman name for Vienna . A " bona " was probably a granary . This derivation is also found in the name of the Italian city of Bologna . This city was founded by the Celtic Boii . The French suffix " - sur - Mer " is the direct equivalent of the English " - on - Sea " . History . Origin of the city . Originally named " Gesoriacum " and probably also to be identified with Portus Itius , by the 4th century Boulogne was known to the Romans as " Bononia " and served as the major port connecting the rest of the empire to Britain . The emperor Claudius used this town as his base for the Roman invasion of Britain , in AD 43 , and until 296 it was the base of the naval fleet of the " Classis Britannica " . Zosimus called the city " germanorum " , Germanic speaking , at the end of the 4th century . The city was an important town of the Morini . Middle Ages . In the Middle Ages Boulogne was the capital of an eponymous county , founded in the mid - 9th century . An important Count , Eustace II , assisted William the Conquerer in his conquest of England . His wife founded the city ' s Notre Dame cathedral , which became a site of pilgrimage from the 12th century onwards , attended by fourteen French kings and five of England . The city survived on herring fishing and received its municipal charter from Count Renaud of Dammartin in 1203 . The area was fought over by the French and the English , including several English occupations during the course of the Hundred Years War . Boulogne was again occupied by the English from 1544 to 1550 . In 1550 , The Peace of Boulogne ended the war of England with Scotland and France . France bought back Boulogne for 400 , 000 crowns . A culture of smuggling was present in the city until 1659 , when French gains in Flanders from the Treaty of the Pyrenees moved the border northwards . The Napoleonic period . Boulogne received its current status as a subprefecture of the Pas - de - Calais department in 1800 due to the territorial re - organisation in Revolutionary France . Three years later , it was given the title of an Imperial City " ( Ville Impériale ) " . The 19th century was a prosperous one for Boulogne , which became a bathing resort for wealthy Parisians after the completion of a railway line to the French capital . In the 19th century , the Basilica of Notre - Dame de Boulogne was reconstructed by the priest Benoit Haffreingue , who claimed to have received a call from God to reconstruct the town ' s ruined basilica . During the Napoleonic Wars , Napoleon amassed La Grande Armée in Boulogne to invade the United Kingdom in 1805 . However , his plans were halted by other European matters and the supremacy of the Royal Navy ( including thousands of Congreve rocket s ) . A nephew of Bonaparte , Louis - Napoleon Bonaparte , later Napoleon III , returned to France in secret from his exile in England , passing through Boulogne in August 1840 . He was later jailed for trying to lead a revolt in Strasbourg . The two world wars . During the First World War , this was the debarkation port for the first unit of the British Expeditionary Force to land in France , and for many others thereafter . It also was the site of an Allied ( French and British ) armaments production conference . On 22 May 1940 during the Battle of France , two British Guards battalions and some pioneers attempted to defend Bolougne against an attack by the German 2nd Panzer Division . Despite fierce fighting , the British were overwhelmed and the survivors were evacuated by Royal Navy destroyers while under direct German gunfire . On June 15 , 1944 , 297 planes ( 155 Avro Lancaster s , 130 Handley Page Halifax es , and 12 De Havilland Mosquito s ) of the Royal Air Force bombed Boulogne harbour to suppress German naval activity following D - Day . Some of the Lancasters carried Tallboy bomb s , and as a result , the harbour and the surrounding area were completely destroyed . In August , 1944 the town was declared a " fortress " by Adolf Hitler , but it succumbed to assault and liberation by the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division in September . In one incident , a French civilian guided the Canadians to a " secret passage " leading into the walled old town and by - passing the German defenders . To replace the destroyed urban infrastructure , affordable housing and public facility projects in functional , brutalist building styles were carried out in the 1950s and 60s . The harbour , therefore , is not typical of a northern French harbour . Sights . Boulogne ' s 12th - century Belfry is one of 56 in northeastern France and Belgium with shared World Heritage Site status . It is the oldest building in the upper city , and currently serves as the home to a museum of Celtic remains from the Roman occupation .

military spending bill

Republic military enhancement bill / Legends During the pan - galactic Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems , the Senate of the Republic was presented with a bill by Senator Halle Burtoni that called for an increase in military production . The bill was drafted in 21 BBY , when , after almost a year of open warfare , the Grand Army of the Republic was facing serious issues of troop depletion and the Separatist Droid Army was steadily gaining ground . Around that time , the Senate began to debate the necessity of troop surges that could supplement the already - deployed armed forces and the Jedi Generals in the field . Although the advocates for military enhancement gained considerable traction early in the discussion , uncertainty over the Republic ' s fiscal integrity generated concern among many senators who felt that the price of troop production would be prohibitively costly . In response , Senator Gume Saam of Tibrin introduced a bill that called for the deregulation of the banking industry so that the Republic might secure lines of credit to fund future troop surges . After a devastating Confederate terror attack on the Republic capital of Coruscant , the deregulation measure was passed and a budding peace initiative was shot down . These two developments allowed for Burtoni to introduce her legislation , which specifically called for the creation and training of five million new clone troopers from her constituent world of Kamino . To fund the army expansion , the bill took advantage of Senator Saam ' s successful legislation by opening a new loan through the InterGalactic Banking Clan — the galaxy ' s premier financial institution . Although Burtoni ' s proposal was widely supported by her colleagues , several senators , including Bail Prestor Organa of Alderaan and Padmé Amidala of Naboo , opposed it on grounds both fiscal and pacifistic . Their opposition became even more impassioned when they learned that the InterGalactic Banking Clan ' s loan would carry with it a twenty - five percent interest rate , repayment of which would easily bankrupt the Republic and cease all public service spending . Organa and Amidala lobbied their fellow representatives for support , but found little . To ensure their failure , the Sith Lord Darth Tyranus hired bounty hunters Robonino and Chata Hyoki to threaten and batter Republic senators who might vote against Burtoni ' s measure . Although the tactic was widely successful , many in the Senate respected the opinion of Senator Organa , and so the Alderaanian planned to make a final address to the congress before the final vote commenced . However , on the day of the vote , Organa was severely injured in an assassination attempt , forcing Amidala to make the speech in his place . The Naboo senator ' s plea was well - received , as it focused heavily on the tangible cost the bill would have on families within the Republic . Despite this , the bill was approved , prompting Amidala and her coalition to quickly draft a piece of counter - legislation that would nullify Burtoni ' s success . Description . The military enhancement bill was a piece of legislation introduced to the Senate of the Galactic Republic with the primary purpose of expanding the Republic Military — specifically , the Grand Army of the Republic . Written by the Kaminoan senatorial delegation , the legislation acted as both a major appropriations bill and an approval for a troop surge . It provided for the military expansion with the inclusion of two major provisions : first , an order for five million new clone troopers to be grown and trained by the cloners of the planet Kamino . In order to pay for the drastic troop increase , the bill included a secondary provision : a request for a massive loan from the InterGalactic Banking Clan . The loan would be used to compensate the Kaminoan government for the clones and would be paid off by the Republic with an interest rate of twenty - five percent , as arbitrated by the Banking Clan . Acquisition of the loan would drastically increase the size of the Republic ' s military spending budget , thereby drawing funds away from other Republic programs , like water maintenance , power management , public education , and healthcare . History . Peace fails . The military enhancement bill came after the onset of the Clone Wars in 22 BBY , when the galaxy became engulfed in armed conflict between the massive clone armies of the Galactic Republic and the droid forces of the separatist Confederacy of Independent Systems . The war , which affected the entire galaxy but was largely fought in the Outer Rim Territories far from the Core Worlds , took a heavy toll on the Republic in terms of both lives and finances , and polarized politics on the capital world of Coruscant . Animosity between the two belligerent states repeatedly reached fevered levels , with leaders of both the Republic and the Confederacy calling for the war to continue until their enemy was annihilated . These calls usually gained traction in the Galactic Senate of the Republic and the Confederacy ' s Separatist Parliament , resulting in a continued escalation of violence and bloodshed . In this charged atmosphere , war profiteers and titans of military industries had a prolific influence in the governmental dealings of the Republic and Confederacy . In secret meetings , representatives of the Trade Federation and InterGalactic Banking Clan maneuvered legislation and initiatives onto congressional agendas to ensure that their respective employers would continue to profit from the conflict with as little hinderance as possible . In 21 BBY , one such bill made its way to the Republic ' s senate floor . Proposed by Ishi Tib Senator Gume Saam , the bill overhauled the Republic ' s financial system , ostensibly to allow the government to better fund future expansions of the military . This line of argument attracted the Senate ' s many pro - war delegates , but the true purpose of the bill lied in its deregulatory provisions ; the legislation removed many of the restrictions on banking institutions , allowing for conglomerates like the InterGalactic Banking clan to conduct business with little to no government oversight . The prospect of complete autonomy for commercial interests and the escalation of violence and debt greatly concerned Naboo ' s Senator Padmé Amidala , who had dedicated her career to finding a peaceful end to the war . During the debates over Saam ' s bill , Amidala violated Senate standards by fleeing Coruscant and secretly meeting with Mina Bonteri on the Separatist capital of Raxus . Bonteri , who had represented Onderon in the Senate until she seceded with her world , was one of the few Confederate politicians who were eager to bring the war to a diplomatic conclusion . Together with Amidala , she drafted a peace initiative and brought it before the Separatist Parliament . Although she faced heavy opposition and was working against the will of Confederate Head of State Count Dooku , Bonteri was able to convince her colleagues to adopt the measure and sue for peace . Dooku , who operated as both the Confederate leader and as the Sith Lord Darth Tyranus , worked alongside his Master , Darth Sidious , and his top general , Grievous , to orchestrate an attack on Coruscant that would derail the peace proposal and force the financial reform bill through to approval . Carried out by disguised demolition droids , the attack devastated the Coruscant power grid , causing rolling blackouts and explosions across the Senate District . The blast was deemed an act of Separatist terrorism , stoking resentment and distrust in the Senate . As a result , the financial reform bill was quickly approved by the legislature and ratified by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine — the alter ego of the Sith Master , Darth Sidious . The morning after the bombing , the Senate convened once again to issue a formal reaction to the bombing and the Confederate peace offering . In light of the attack , many delegates wanted to reject the initiative outright and ridiculed Senator Amidala for her support of the proposal . The loudest proponent of continued warfare was Senator Halle Burtoni of Kamino , who quickly introduced the military enhancement bill . Drafted by her staff , the bill authorized a massive expansion of the Grand Army of the Republic by drawing funds from an InterGalactic Banking Clan loan , which was now possible due to the passage of the financial reform bill . Although Amidala and her colleague , Senator Bail Prestor Organa of Alderaan , were quick to object , public sentiment had turned against their calls for peace . When the Naboo politician tried once more to convince the Senate of the legitimacy of the Confederate peace accord , she was openly accused of treason by Umbara ' s Senator Mee Deechi and the Human Senator Dantum Roohd . The argument became moot when Chancellor Palpatine received a message from Count Dooku , in which he accused the Republic of orchestrating the assassination of Senator Bonteri . Dooku withdrew the peace offering , allowing the Senate war hawks to write off the Confederate olive branch and begin anew their push for escalation . Fighting and funding . Immediately after Burtoni introduced her bill , Amidala and Organa quickly formed a coalition with Senator Onaconda Farr of Rodia to oppose the measure . Although it would be a severe uphill battle , Organa , a well - respected senior member of congress , agreed to led the effort to defeat the bill and recruit other legislators to the cause ; meanwhile , Amidala and Farr researched the logistics and costs of the military expansion . The two of them arranged a meeting with Banking Clan representative Mak Plain to discuss the terms of the loan proposed in Burtoni ' s bill . During their conversation in Plain ' s office , the Muun banker revealed to Amidala and Farr that the loan would carry with it an interest rate of twenty - five percent — a drastic increase from the Republic ' s previously arranged rate of ten percent . Although Farr asserted that the rate hike was tantamount to theft , Plain assured him that the increase was entirely legal and reasonable given the recent passage of the deregulatory measures in Senator Saam ' s financial reform bill . Amidala returned to Organa with this information and the two decided that their best chance for success in the upcoming debate was for the Alderaanian to address the full senate with an impassioned plea . Controversy . The drums of war . The Muun went on to reveal that the Confederacy had also recently applied for a loan to finance an additional three million battle droids , which would give the Separatist Droid Army enough firepower to easily defeat the Republic and overrun Coruscant . Intimidation and violence . In this heavily charged atmosphere , the few politicians who were interested in pursuing peaceful solutions to the war were often vilified and publicly lambasted for their views . The bill ' s opponents initially needed to sway the minds of only a handfull of senators , but just as with the financial reform bill , the Sith Lords Darth Sidious and Darth Tyranus sought to ensure the passage of the military enhancement bill in order to ensure the continuation of the Clone Wars .

No . 36 Squadron RAAF No . 36 Squadron is a Royal Australian Air Force ( RAAF ) strategic transport squadron . It operates Boeing C - 17 Globemaster III heavy airlifters from RAAF Base Amberley , Queensland . The squadron has seen active service flying transport aircraft during World War II , the Korean War , the Indonesia – Malaysia " Konfrontasi " , the Vietnam War , and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq . It has also supported Australian humanitarian and peacekeeping operations around the world , including Somalia , Cambodia , East Timor and Indonesia . The squadron was formed at RAAF Station Laverton , Victoria , in March 1942 , and equipped with Douglas DC - 2 s , among other aircraft . Later in the war it began operating Douglas C - 47 Dakotas . From 1946 to 1953 it was controlled by No . 86 Wing , which was based in New South Wales at RAAF Station Schofields and , later , RAAF Station Richmond . In 1953 it was re - formed at Iwakuni , Japan , as part of No . 91 Wing . It returned to Australia and the aegis of No . 86 Wing in 1955 . The squadron began re - equipping with Lockheed C - 130 Hercules at Richmond in 1958 , becoming the first non - US operator of the type . Over the next half - century it flew two models of Hercules , the C - 130A and C - 130H . The squadron transferred to Amberley in 2006 , when it took delivery of its first Globemaster . Role and equipment . No . 36 Squadron is responsible for strategic air transport in Australia and overseas , conducting missions as part of military operations and humanitarian efforts . It is located at RAAF Base Amberley , Queensland , and controlled by No . 86 Wing , under Air Lift Group . The unit headquarters comprises executive , administrative and operational components . As well as aircrew , the squadron is staffed by maintenance personnel responsible for regular servicing of equipment ; they are frequently required to accompany the aircraft on deployments overseas . More complex servicing is conducted by Boeing . No . 36 Squadron ' s official crest , approved in May 1966 , depicts a horse intended to symbolise strength , speed , mobility and dependability . The unit ' s motto is " Sure " . The squadron operates six Boeing C - 17 Globemaster III s , the first of which entered service in December 2006 . The aircraft are generally crewed by two pilots and a loadmaster , the latter being responsible for the loading , carriage and unloading of cargo or passengers . The C - 17 can carry 70 tonnes of equipment , and is large enough to accommodate helicopters , tanks and other military vehicles . It can also carry over 130 passengers , and is designed for aerial despatch of paratroops or cargo . The C - 17 has a range of some and is able to operate from short and unsealed airstrips . Flown with a joystick and fly - by - wire controls , the aircraft is also highly manoeuvrable and responsive considering its size . It is capable of being refuelled in flight by the KC - 30A Multi Role Tanker Transports operated by No . 33 Squadron , although this had not been undertaken as of 2013 . History . World War II . During February and March 1942 , the RAAF formed four transport units : Nos . 33 , 34 , 35 and 36 Squadrons . No . 36 Squadron was established on 11 March at RAAF Station Laverton , Victoria , under the control of Southern Area Command . Its initial strength was twenty - six personnel and one Douglas DC - 2 . This was gradually built up to a force of six DC - 2s , as well as examples of various de Havilland types including the DH . 84 Dragon , DH . 86 Express , DH . 89 Dragon Rapide , and Tiger Moth . Tasked with transport operations throughout Australia and to Port Moresby , New Guinea , the squadron relocated to Essendon , Victoria , on 17 July . One of the DC - 2s crashed at Seven Mile Aerodrome , Port Moresby , on 14 September ; all aboard were killed . The squadron was transferred to Townsville , Queensland , on 11 December 1942 . During 1943 , it maintained detachments at Essendon and in New Guinea , and began re - equipping with twelve Douglas C - 47 Dakotas . On 27 March 1943 , a Dakota of No . 36 Squadron crashed on takeoff in pre - dawn fog at RAAF Station Archerfield , killing all twenty - three occupants , twenty of whom were RAAF or Women ' s Auxiliary Australian Air Force personnel . The squadron relocated to Garbutt on 20 February 1944 . During the New Guinea campaign it was responsible for carrying troops and cargo , and undertaking courier runs and supply drops . In 1945 , a detachment of No . 36 Squadron Dakotas augmented No . 84 Wing ' s operations in Bougainville , flying almost 800 sortie s between January and June . The squadron lost two Dakotas on supply missions in Aitape during February 1945 . In August , it flew paratroopers into Singapore as part of the reoccupation of the city , after which it continued to transport troops and cargo , and repatriate prisoners of war . Following the end of hostilities , in March 1946 , a detachment of six Dakotas established a courier service between Morotai and Japan , where Australian units had joined the British Commonwealth Occupation Force . Berlin Airlift and Korean War era . On 19 August 1946 , No . 36 Squadron transferred to RAAF Station Schofields , New South Wales , where it came under the control of No . 86 ( Transport ) Wing along with Nos . 37 and 38 Squadrons , also operating Dakotas , and No . 486 ( Maintenance ) Squadron . No . 486 Squadron provided day - to - day servicing for each of the flying squadrons , deeper maintenance being handled by No . 2 Aircraft Depot , based at the nearby RAAF Station Richmond . Courier flights to Japan continued until December 1947 , a round trip from Schofields . On 25 August 1948 , twenty staff from No . 36 Squadron joined five crews from No . 38 Squadron to take part in the Berlin Airlift , a commitment that lasted almost a year . The Australians delivered over of supplies , and over 7 , 000 passengers . In the absence of these crews , Nos . 36 and 38 Squadron operations were amalgamated , flying hours being recorded under the latter ' s auspices . During June 1949 , No . 36 Squadron and the other extant components of No . 86 Wing , Nos . 38 and 486 Squadrons , relocated from Schofields to Richmond . Nos . 36 and 38 Squadrons began to operate separately again in June 1950 , following the return of crews from Berlin and No . 38 Squadron ' s departure for service in the Malayan Emergency . No . 36 Squadron assumed control of the Governor - General ' s Flight in late 1950 . On 21 November 1952 , the squadron was awarded the Duke of Gloucester Cup for its proficiency . The return of No . 38 Squadron from Malaya in December stripped No . 36 Squadron of crews to ensure an even distribution of personnel among the two units . This led to No . 36 Squadron again merging with No . 38 Squadron . The former disbanded at Richmond on 9 March 1953 , re - forming the next day from No . 30 Transport Unit at Iwakuni , Japan . Here it was part of No . 91 ( Composite ) Wing , which controlled the RAAF ' s units during the Korean War and its immediate aftermath . Its complement included eight Dakotas and one CAC Wirraway . In July and August , the squadron evacuated over 900 Commonwealth prisoners of war . It departed Japan on 13 March 1955 , having carried over 42 , 000 passengers and of cargo , and was re - established on 1 May at RAAF Base Canberra , where No . 86 Wing had transferred the previous year . Vietnam War era and after . No . 36 Squadron handed over its six Dakotas to No . 38 Squadron in July 1958 , prior to re - equipping with the Lockheed C - 130 Hercules . It returned to Richmond in August , followed by the rest of No . 86 Wing a month later . After conversion training of its personnel in the United States , No . 36 Squadron became the first non - US operator of the Hercules in December 1958 , when it began taking delivery of twelve C - 130As ; deliveries completed in March 1959 . The official history of the post - war Air Force described the Hercules as " probably the biggest step - up in aircraft capabilities " the RAAF had ever received , considering it roughly four times as effective as the Dakota , taking into account the improvements in payload , range , and speed . In September 1960 , No . 36 Squadron began parachute trials on the Hercules . It made the Hercules ' first troop - carrying flights into a combat zone in December 1962 , joining a Commonwealth airlift from Singapore to Borneo at the onset of the " Konfrontasi " between Indonesia and Malaysia ; similar missions were undertaken over the next five years . The squadron was again awarded the Gloucester Cup in 1963 . In August 1964 , No . 36 Squadron became an independently operating unit under the command of Headquarters RAAF Base Richmond , following the disbandment of No . 86 Wing . No . 486 Squadron was disbanded at the same time , leaving No . 36 Squadron responsible for its own day - to - day maintenance until 1966 ; No . 486 Squadron was re - formed that year to service both No . 36 Squadron and No . 37 Squadron , the latter having taken delivery of twelve C - 130E Hercules . During the Vietnam War , both squadrons undertook long - range transport and medical evacuation flights between Australia and South East Asia , servicing Phan Rang , Vung Tau , and Nui Dat . No . 36 Squadron was presented with its own standard by Prince Philip , Duke of Edinburgh , on 1 April 1971 , in recognition of a quarter - century ' s service . Eight of its twelve Hercules were involved in relief efforts after Cyclone Tracy struck Darwin , Northern Territory , on Christmas Eve 1974 ; the aircraft flew over 550 hours , carrying 2 , 864 passengers and almost of cargo . Having remained in service for twenty years , clocking up 147 , 000 accident - free flying hours , the C - 130As were replaced by C - 130Hs in 1978 . In November 1978 , one of No . 36 Squadron ' s C - 130Hs became the first Australian Hercules to land in Antarctica , at McMurdo Sound . The squadron reached a total of 200 , 000 accident - free flying hours in C - 130s during 1984 . When No . 86 Wing was re - formed at Richmond on 2 February 1987 , under the newly established Air Lift Group , No . 36 Squadron formed part of its complement . The unit again received the Gloucester Cup in 1989 . That year , it was called on to provide civilian passenger transport during the pilots ' dispute that curtailed operations by the two domestic airlines ; three aircraft and five crews were assigned to this task , which it undertook in addition to normal duties . The squadron reached 100 , 000 accident - free flying hours on the C - 130H during 1990 . In December 1990 and January 1991 , it flew missions to Dubai in support of Australia ' s naval contribution to the Gulf War , and in 1993 transported Australian troops to Somalia as part of Operation Solace . Four of its C - 130Hs were equipped with Electronic Warfare Self Protection packs , including radar and missile warning systems , and countermeasures such as chaff and flares , in 1994 . Later in the decade , one of the C - 130Hs was fitted with signals intelligence equipment and crewed by RAAF and Defence Signals Directorate personnel . Six of No . 36 Squadron ' s Hercules evacuated over 450 civilians from Cambodia following the coup in July 1997 . The unit again became responsible for its own routine maintenance in 1998 , when No . 486 Squadron was disbanded . A detachment from No . 36 Squadron supported INTERFET operations in East Timor between September 1999 and February 2000 . The squadron was assigned four C - 130Es previously operated by No . 37 Squadron during the latter ' s transition to the new C - 130J Super Hercules , which commenced in 1999 ; the E models were retired the following year . No . 36 Squadron was once more awarded the Gloucester Cup in 2001 . It took part in relief efforts following the Bali Bombings in October 2002 . In February 2003 , it deployed a detachment of two Hercules to the Middle East as part of the Australian contribution to the invasion of Iraq . The aircraft arrived on 10 February , and began flying transport sorties less than two weeks later . One of No . 36 Squadron ' s Hercules became the first Coalition aircraft to land at Al Asad Airbase , west of Baghdad , after it was secured by Australian special forces personnel . The detachment remained in Iraq until September 2004 , when it was relieved by two C - 130Js from No . 37 Squadron . No . 36 Squadron also participated in Operation Sumatra Assist in the wake of the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami . In May 2006 , No . 36 Squadron personnel began conversion training in the US in preparation for re - equipping with Boeing C - 17 Globemaster III heavy transports . It transferred its C - 130Hs to No . 37 Squadron on 17 November 2006 , prior to relocating to Amberley . Also on 17 November , Wing Commander Linda Corbould took command of the unit , becoming the first woman to lead an RAAF flying squadron . Corbould was responsible for delivering the first Globemaster from the United States to Australia on 4 December . No . 36 Squadron achieved initial operating capability with the C - 17 on 11 September 2007 , following eight months ' work - up training . Corbould completed her posting as commanding officer on 8 December 2008 , the day the squadron marked the second anniversary of C - 17 operations by conducting the RAAF ' s first flight with an all - female aircrew . Since re - equipping with the Globemaster , No . 36 Squadron has continued to support Coalition forces in Afghanistan , as well as humanitarian operations worldwide . In 2011 , it took part in relief efforts following the floods in Queensland , the Christchurch earthquake , and the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan . The Queensland floods necessitated the evacuation of two C - 17s to Richmond , when Amberley was threatened by rising waters ; of the other two Globemasters , one was in the Middle East and the other was undergoing maintenance at Amberley and could not be flown but was moved onto high ground and escaped damage . The deployment to Japan involved all three of the squadron ' s available C - 17s , the fourth still being serviced at Amberley . On 11 May 2012 , a C - 17 flew an Australian Army M1 Abrams tank from RAAF Base Darwin to Shoalwater Bay for a training exercise ; it was the first time an RAAF Globemaster had airlifted an Abrams , which at 61 tonnes was among the largest single items the 70 - tonne - capacity aircraft could carry . In November that year the squadron took delivery of its sixth and last Globemaster . It was again awarded the Gloucester Cup in March 2013 , for its proficiency the previous year .

death to the doctor !

Death to the Doctor ! ( comic story ) Death to the Doctor ! was a comic story published in " Doctor Who Magazine " in 2007 . Although released during a run of stories featuring the contemporary TARDIS team of the Tenth Doctor and Martha Jones , the Doctor and Martha only appear on the final page . Much of this story focuses on defeated foes of the Doctor ' s first nine incarnations plotting to defeat him together , while later turning on one another when the accidental electrocution of Kraarn of the Kraagaaron leads the other six to incorrectly believe the Doctor is among them . Various incarnations and companion s of the Doctor , including " DWM " companions Frobisher and Izzy Sinclair , also appear in flashbacks . Summary . Enemies unite to defeat the Doctor . Plot . On a research base in deep space , a number of enemies have united for the same reason : they were all defeated by the man known as the Doctor . A new member , called Valis , arrives to join and is welcomed by Kraarn of the Kraagaaron . In the meeting , some of the aliens speak of how they were defeated by the Time Lord ' s various incarnations . Valis reveals that he was defeated by the Doctor ' s eighth incarnation , who stopped him using the Crystal of Consciousness . Bolog , a toad - like creature , tells how he was defeated by the Doctor ' s fourth incarnation , who sent his fleet of ships into the sun using a banana . The piscine Zargath recounts how the Doctor ' s ninth incarnation had defeated him by making it rain with his sonic screwdriver after he tried to invade the Powell Estate . Plink , an alien wearing a metal helmet , reveals that he has been defeated by several Doctors including the sixth , and comments on his poor choice of clothes . Kraarn comes up with an idea : they must unite to defeat the Doctor . He starts showing slides , but is blown up . The other villains wonder what caused it and Valis comes up with the only explanation : the Doctor must be on the base . The aliens then search for the Doctor . Valis talks with one of the villains , called the Mentor ( who resembles the Master ) , and he reveals that he was defeated by the Doctor ' s third incarnation . In another corridor , Bolog asks Questor , an old humanoid , how he was defeated ; Questor tells him how the Doctor ' s first incarnation defeated him in the Jungle of Tropicalus . The other two aliens reach the room with a Metabolic Interfermometer , which shows only six people in the base . As there are only six aliens , this can only mean that the Doctor is one of them . Not long after , a shot is heard — Bolog has killed Questor because he thought Questor was the Doctor in disguise . The aliens accuse each other of being the Doctor , and attention switches to Valis , the newest member . He is shot by Zargath , but is revealed to be flammable , and Zargath is caught in the blast — but neither was the Doctor . There are now only three left , and each accuses the others of being the Doctor . They then hear the TARDIS arriving , but too late — they all shoot , killing each other . Martha Jones comes out of the TARDIS , and is shocked to see the dead aliens . The Doctor examines the station and discovers that the wire which killed Kraarn had an electrical fault . He sees the Interferometre , and discovers that they are the only ones there — leaving him to wonder what caused it . He apologises to Martha , saying that if he had got there sooner , he would have saved them . References . " to be added "

Bastion / Legends Bastion , originally Sartinaynian , was the capital world of the Imperial Remnant , the Braxant sector in the Outer Rim Territories , and later the Fel Empire and Empire - in - exile . Bastion was located in the Sartinaynian system at the terminus of the trade route known as the Braxant Run . Originally , " Bastion " was just a term for the worlds on which the Remnant ' s Council of Moffs and administrative headquarters were temporarily located . By the time of the Caamas Document Crisis , the Imperial government was located on Sartinaynian ; it was the last of these worlds , where the rulers of the Empire relocated shortly before peace with the New Republic in 19 ABY . Bastion ' s location remained a closely guarded secret , until the events surrounding the discovery of the Caamas Document in 19 ABY forced Han Solo and Lando Calrissian to locate the planet in an attempt to find a complete copy in the Imperial archives . It later became the capital world of the Imperial Remnant , the Fel Empire , and later Roan Fel ' s Empire - in - exile . History . During the Old Republic era , the planet had originally been settled by Humans who opposed alien membership in the Galactic Republic . However , political realities eventually forced the colonists to join the Republic , and ironically , the colony relied heavily on the alien Muuns of the InterGalactic Banking Clan for financial support , based on nearby Muunilinst . Both planets would remain loyal to the New Order , and the continuing leverage enjoyed by Muunilinst could be seen by that world ' s refusal to surrender one of its defensive Golan battlestations to guard Bastion . Instead , the capital was orbited merely by the Bastion customs station . Bastion was in Confederate space during the Clone Wars . Like its predecessors , it served as the meeting place for the Moff Council and the site of the state archives , the civil administration , and Bastion Military Control ; but the Imperial leadership strove to keep the precise location of this new Bastion as secret as possible to prevent the New Republic mounting a direct assault on their command facilities , so the fact that Sartinaynian was Bastion was not initially widely - known . Following the Bastion Accords that ended the Galactic Civil War , the Imperial Remnant no longer required a mobile , secret capital ; thus , Sartinaynian remained the Imperial capital and became increasingly well - known in this role , so that the name of Bastion became permanently associated with the planet , eclipsing its old name . In addition to serving as capital of the Imperial Remnant as a whole , Bastion also served as the throne world for the Imperial Moff of the Braxant sector , namely Moff Vilim Disra during the Galactic Civil War , and his successor , Ephin Sarreti , during the Yuuzhan Vong War . While Disra had been appointed a Moff by Emperor Palpatine , Sarreti was a young man whom had never even met Palpatine , and was not as enmeshed in Palpatine ' s prejudices , making him a more popular leader in the progressive , " reformed " Imperial Remnant . During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion , Bastion was attacked by forces under the command of B ' shith Vorrik . Vorrik destroyed the planetary defenses and the bulk of the Imperial fleet there , as well as much of the surface of the planet . Fortunately , the fleet was able to buy enough time for most of the planet ' s population to evacuate before it was defeated . Bastion was rebuilt , continuing to serve as the Imperial capital until their recapture of Coruscant . Two years after the Second Galactic Civil War had ended , Bastion was the world that had represented the Imperial Remnant during the Unification Summit by Jagged Fel on Coruscant . By 130 ABY , it was said to be the most fortified planet in the galaxy . In 137 ABY , Emperor Roan Fel reclaimed the planet as a base of operations against the usurper to the Imperial throne , Darth Krayt . He drew loyalist forces to the planet , in order to further ensure its protection against Sith attack . The planet ' s nigh impenetrable defense systems made Bastion as well defended as Coruscant , which prevented any direct assault on the planet . Despite Bastion being a fortress world , Darth Kruhl was still able to get on - planet when Governor Vikar Dorn of Munto Codru pretended to defect to Fel ' s faction of the Empire . Kruhl made it all the way to the Pellaeon Gardens , where Fel had been meditating . It was there that Fel killed him . After the incident non - Imperials were no longer allowed to visit Bastion , as the threat to the Emperor was too great . The Sith , however , still tried to find a way to infiltrate Bastion and so they offered a million credits to anyone who could penetrate the planet ' s defenses .

Battle of Borosk The Battle of Borosk was a major battle fought in 28 ABY during the Yuuzhan Vong War . After the disastrous Imperial rout at the Battle of Bastion , the Imperial Starfleet regrouped at Yaga Minor before it fell back to Borosk . After a hard - fought battle , the Empire forced the Yuuzhan Vong to retreat . Prelude to the Battle . In the aftermath of the disaster at Ebaq 9 , the Yuuzhan Vong launched a campaign of lightning strikes aimed at enemies they had originally bypassed , including the Empire . Using what forces they could spare , the Vong intended not only to remove these foes from the strategic picture before they could become a greater threat , but to harvest slave soldiers to supplement their depleted forces . The attack against the Remnant succeeded spectacularly at Bastion and Muunilinst , from which the the Imperial Navy was forced to retreat . The survivors from the falls of Bastion and Muunilinst regrouped at the Yaga Minor shipyards . Shaken but determined to fight back , they offloaded their wounded and docked with the slipways to make what repairs they could . With the chain of command uncertain , there was a growing danger that the Empire would break apart into the individual sectors controlled by each Moff , as power plays began even as the Vong prepared for their next attack . However , the revival and sudden reappearance of Grand Admiral Gilad Pellaeon , who had been presumed killed at Bastion , firmed up the morale of the fleet and restored the chain of command . Under Pellaeon ' s direct order , Moff Kurlen Flennic organized the Imperial fall back from Yaga Minor to the more heavily fortified planet of Borosk . Informed by their spies of the Imperial withdrawal , the Vong fleet under B ' shith Vorrik followed . However , the help of several Galactic Alliance Jedi allowed the Remnant to be fully prepared for the upcoming showdown . Jacen Solo used YVH - M Mouse Droids to locate and dismantle a network of spies within the Imperial fleet , and personally dispatched several Yuuzhan Vong infiltrators , thereby denying to the enemy a vital source of information on the true status of the fleet and Borosk ' s defenses . The Battle . Pellaeon divided his fleet into four distinct battle groups , designated by their command vessel names and made up of numerous capital ships and support craft . Fleet Group Stalwart led the vanguard , Fleet Group Protector and Group Relentless each guarded one of the flanks , and Fleet Group Right to Rule maintained the rear . Pellaeon ' s strategy was elegantly simple . The fleet would orbit the planet , protected by ample minefields and surface to space turbolaser systems . They would engage the enemy in a defensive battle , forcing the time - constrained Vorrik to either break off the attack or attempt an overwhelming frontal attack against the heavy defenses . When the Yuuzhan Vong arrived in - system , Fleet Group Stalwart sent four TIE Fighter squadrons led by Luke Skywalker in his XJ3 X - wing to attack before the Vong ships could recover from their hyperspace emergence . Caught off guard , the Yuuzhan Vong initially fell into disarray before their yammosk s re - coordinated their forces . The Imperial task forces steadily withdrew into their defensive orbits , settling in for what was expected to be a long wait . The battle took an unexpected twist when a massive Yuuzhan Vong slaveship arrived at the rear of the Vong formation . Saba Sebatyne proposed that they attack the ship , full of captives from the Battle of Bastion , and allow themselves to be captured in order to rescue the prisoners . Pellaeon agreed to the plan and provided the automated Katana fleet dreadnaught " Braxant Bonecrusher " for the mission . Formerly the Braxant Brave , but renamed in honor of Sebatyne ' s plan , it was designed to ' fake ' a death and thereafter look like a harmless drifting wreck . Its mission would be to jump out of hyperspace near the slaveship and attack it , then allow itself to be ' destroyed ' by the Vong . The slaveship then would be expected to harvest any live prisoners from the ship . Should all go to plan , the " Jade Shadow " , concealed within the " Bonecrusher " , would use its tractor beam to recover the liberated prisoners and then the Dreadnaught would jump out . Staffed by Sebatyne , Danni Quee , Mara Jade Skywalker and Solo , the " Bonecrusher " deployed a dozen automated TIE Fighters and engaged the enemy rear before it faked its demise . The slaveship then sucked both Sebatyne and Quee aboard . Eliminating the crew , the two Jedi cut the ship ' s hull open and the prisoners were tractored into the Dreadnaught ' s hangar bay . Once recovery was completed , the " Bonecrusher " jumped out . As the " Bonecrusher " raided the enemy rear , a gravitic amplitude modulator had been brought in from a nearby Imperial system and installed on the Imperial Star Destroyer " Defiant " , calibrated to the specifications of the yammosk jammer technology developed by Jedi in the final days of the New Republic . Accompanied by a swarm of TIE Fighters and blastboat s , the " Defiant " broke orbit and dove into the Yuuzhan Vong fleet . Once it was in range , the jammer was activated . The enemy fleet ' s sudden loss of cohesion enabled the " Defiant ' s " task force to inflict heavy casualties as it pushed toward the yammosk . Aware its defeat was inevitable , the yammosk attempted to divert the attack , but the Imperial forces refused to be distracted . The self - destruction of two of the yammosk ' s sister vessels temporarily stalled the " Defiant ' s " attack , but a TIE Fighter pilot who had recovered quicker than his or her peers landed the shot that killed the yammosk . With the lead yammosk dead , the slaveship lost , the " Defiant " wreaking havoc in the midst of Vorrik ' s fleet as it hunted the back - up yammosk , and the Yuuzhan Vong already far too weak due to their losses to at Ebaq - 9 , Vorrik had no choice but to withdraw in humiliation , having been bested by a critically - injured Grand Admiral still recuperating within a bacta tank on an Imperial frigate . Aftermath . The Remnant ' s ruling Council of Moffs was shaken by both the Vong attack on Imperial Space and the devastation of their capital world . Pellaeon argued forcefully that the Empire needed to go on the offensive against the Vong and help the Galactic Alliance win the war , since if they simply waited for the Vong to return , they would be destroyed . Several of the Moffs , most notably Moff Flennic , were aghast at the idea of allying with the same organization that had defeated the Empire , which at its height would have easily destroyed the Vong . Although the rest of the Council came around to Pellaeon ' s logic relatively quickly , Flennic , unable to control himself , pulled a blaster pistol and pointed it at Pellaeon . Jade Skywalker intervened before Flennic could kill the Grand Admiral , and while Pellaeon promised not to take any retribution against the Moff , he did warn Flennic that if he ever stepped out of line again , Pellaeon would not be so forgiving . Ultimately , this battle marked the second entrance of the Empire into the Yuuzhan Vong War , which culminated with Imperial forces under the Grand Admiral fighting in the final battle at Coruscant .

truax air force base

Truax Field Air National Guard Base Truax Field Air National Guard Base ( also known as Truax Field ) , is a United States Air National Guard base , located at Dane County Regional Airport , Wisconsin . It is located northeast of Madison , Wisconsin . Units . Truax Field ANGB is the home of the Wisconsin Air National Guard 115th Fighter Wing ( 115 FW ) , equipped with the F - 16 Fighting Falcon . It is operationally - gained by the Air Combat Command ( ACC ) . In addition , Wisconsin Army National Guard units are stationed at the base . History . Truax Field was named in honor of Wisconsin - native Lieutenant Thomas L . Truax , who was killed in a P - 40 training accident in November 1941 World War II . Originally known as " Madison Army Airfield " , Truax Field was activated as an Army Air Forces airfield in June 1942 during World War II . During the war it was used by the Army Air Force Eastern Technical Training Center , a major school operating at Truax AAF for training radio operators and mechanics , and later expanded to training in radar operations , control tower operations and other communications fields for the Army Airways Communication Service . A special unit established in 1943 trained radio operators and mechanics on B - 29 Superfortress communications equipment . The host unit on the airfield was the 334th ( later 3508th ) Army Air Force Base Unit . On September 17 , 1945 , the airfield ' s mission was changed to that of a separation center , and it was closed as an active AAF airfield on November 30 , 1945 . Air Defense Command . Truax Field was reactivated by the United States Air Force on 1 February 1951 using a right of return due to the Korean War . Federalized Wisconsin Air National Guard units were assigned to the base , placed under the jurisdiction of Air Defense Command ( ADC ) on 15 February 1951 . Fighter defense . Initial USAF units assigned to Truax Field were the 128th Air Base Group , activated on 10 February 1951 to prepare the base for use , then the 128th Fighter - Interceptor Wing on 16 February with its operational 128th Fighter - Interceptor Group on 16 February . The F - 51D Mustang - equipped 176th Fighter - Interceptor Squadron was also activated at Truax that date . A second squadron , the 128th Fighter - Interceptor Squadron came on active duty on 10 April with F - 80A Shooting Star s , being reassigned from General Mitchell Field near Milwaukee . These federalized ANG units were placed under the operational control of the ADC Central Air Defense Force ( CADF ) . During the tenure of the federalized Air National Guard units , Truax Field underwent a major improvement project to upgrade its World War II facilities and airfield to a permanent Air Force installation . A jet runway was constructed , along with permanent concrete block structures to replace the temporary World War II buildings on the station . The ADC ' s 31st Air Division at Snelling AFS , Minnesota took control of Truax Field on 6 February 1952 from the CADF when the 128th FIW was returned to Wisconsin state control . The operational interceptor squadrons were relieved from active duty in November and December 1952 with the ADC 433d Fighter - Interceptor Squadron and 432d Fighter - Interceptor Squadron replacing the guardsmen . In February 1953 , the 520th Air Defense Group was activated at Truax Field to assume control over the interceptor squadrons , relieving the 31st AD . The 433d FIS was transferred to the Alaskan Air Command on 20 July 1954 , being replaced on 8 August by the 456th Fighter - Interceptor Squadron . By this time both the 432d and 456th FIS were flying the F - 86D Sabre fighter - interceptor . On 18 August 1955 , ADC " Project Arrow " re - designated the 520th ADG to become the 327th Fighter Group ( Air Defense ) . This project re - activated notable World War II combat units by re - designating postwar units . Under the 327th FG , the operational squadrons were also re - designated , the 432d FIS becoming the 323d Fighter - Interceptor Squadron ; the 456th FIS becoming the 325th Fighter - Interceptor Squadron . On 8 September 1955 , the 37th Air Division was activated at Truax Field , taking command of the 327th FG . In addition to command of the interceptor units , the 37th AD operated a Manual Direction and Control Center ( MDCC ) for ADC interceptor units within its assigned area of parts of Wisconsin , Illinois , and Indiana . In December 1956 , the 37th AD formed and activated the 639th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron , a radar squadron which it reassigned to Lowther Air Station , Ontario as part of the Pinetree Line . The Division also began supervision of the construction of a SAGE radar Direction and Combat Center , programmed for activation in 1958 . The 323d FIS was transferred to Ernest Harmon AFB , Newfoundland on 1 October 1957 . It was replaced by the 61st Fighter - Interceptor Squadron . During the fall of 1957 , the F - 86Ds of the 327th Fighter Group were replaced by ADC with the new F - 102A Delta Dagger interceptors . In 1960 , budget reductions forced the inactivation of the 61st FIS , its F - 102s being reassigned to other interceptor squadrons . SAGE Direction and Combat Center . In 1958 a Semi Automatic Ground Environment ( SAGE ) Data Center ( DC - 07 ) and Combat Center ( CC - 02 ) was established at Truax Field , located about south of the ADC interceptor parking ramp . The SAGE system was a network linking Air Force ( and later FAA ) General Surveillance Radar stations into a centralized center for Air Defense , intended to provide early warning and response for a Soviet nuclear attack . This automated control system was used by NORAD for tracking and intercepting enemy bomber aircraft . In the later versions the system could automatically direct aircraft to an interception by sending instructions directly to the aircraft ' s autopilot . Command and Control of DC - 07 / CC - 02 was initially under the Chicago Air Defense Sector ( CHADS ) which was activated under the 37d AD on 8 March 1957 . CADS provided for the air defense of Illinois ; Indiana ; most of Iowa and northern Missouri . On 1 April 1959 , the 30th Air Division replaced the 37th AD in an ADC realignment . The SAGE building held had two separate computers , the second serving as a " hot standby " in case the active computer failed . With this backup , availability was an unprecedented 99 . 6 % , when many other computers from that era would fail every few hours . The CHADS was inactivated 1 April 1966 and operation of the SAGE complex was taken over by the 20th Air Division , which was essentially a re designation of CADS . By 1967 the cost of operating the complex was extremely high and technology advances allowed the Air Force to shut down many SAGE Data Centers . DC - 07 / CC - 02 was inactivated on 31 December . Realignment . By the late 1960s , the need for air defense against manned aircraft was diminishing with the perceived less threat of an aircraft attack by the Soviet Union . The 325th Fighter - Interceptor Squadron was inactivated on 25 June 1966 , its F - 102s being sent to Air National Guard units at other bases . The SAGE DC - 07 / CC - 02 blockhouse of the CHADS was inactivated on 31 December 1967 along with the 20th Air Division which was reassigned to Fort Lee AFS , Virginia . Air Defense Command turned jurisdiction of most of Truax Field to the Wisconsin Air National Guard on 1 January 1968 , a small weather detachment from the Air Weather Service ( 4th Weather Wing OL - 4 , Det 8 ) , remained at the field until 31 January 1970 when it also was inactivated . Truax Field has operated as a joint military / civil airport ever since . Modern era . Today , Truax Field ANGB remains the home installation of the 115th Fighter Wing ( 115 FW ) , an Air National Guard unit operationally gained by the Air Combat Command ( ACC ) , flying the F - 16C / D Fighting Falcon multi - role fighter aircraft . The 115 FW has two distinct missions . The Federal mission under Title 10 USC is to staff and train flying and support units to augment Air Combat Command general purpose fighter forces to effectively and rapidly project F - 16 combat power anywhere in the world to perform wartime or peacetime missions as well as operations other than war .

Andrew Gilbert Wauchope Major - General Andrew Gilbert Wauchope ( 5 July 1846 – 11 December 1899 ) was a British Army officer , killed commanding a brigade at the Battle of Magersfontein in the South African War . Andrew Gilbert was the second son of Andrew Wauchope of Niddrie Marischal , Midlothian , Scotland and Frances - Mary née Lloyd daughter of Henry Lloyd , Esq . , Co . Tipperary , Ireland . Following education at Stubbington House School he was sent to HMS " Britannia " in 1859 to train as a naval cadet , then posted as a midshipman to " St George " the following year . He was not happy there , and obtained his discharge from the Navy on 3 July 1862 , shortly before his eighteenth birthday . He resolved to enter the Army , and purchased a second lieutenant ' s commission in the Black Watch in 1865 . In 1867 he was appointed lieutenant , and served as an adjutant from 1870 to 1873 . In 1873 he served in the Second Anglo - Ashanti War , detached on special service with a Hausa regiment ; he was twice wounded and mentioned in despatches . In July 1878 , the United Kingdom took control of Cyprus as a result of the Cyprus Convention , and Wauchope was appointed governor of the Paphos region , returning to England in August 1880 . He was promoted Captain in 1878 , and made CMG in 1880 . He served on the staff in the Transvaal War in 1881 , and with his regiment in the 1882 Anglo - Egyptian War . That year , he married his first wife , Elythea Ruth Erskine ; she would die in childbirth in 1884 , leaving him twin sons . He fought in the Sudan Campaign in 1884 , where he was severely wounded at the Battle of El Teb on 29 February , and mentioned in despatches . He was promoted to major in March , and given a brevet lieutenant - colonelcy in May , before serving on the Nile Expedition , where he was again severely wounded at the Battle of Kirbekan in February 1885 . Following the expedition he returned to Scotland to manage his family estates at Niddrie and Yetholm , which he had recently inherited . The coal mines of Niddrie were highly productive , and as a result he became one of the richest men in Scotland . In 1893 he married his second wife , Jane Muir , the daughter of William Muir ; they had no children , and she would survive him . A staunch Conservative , he was politically active , and opposed Gladstone for the constituency of Midlothian in the 1892 election ; whilst he did not win , he reduced Gladstone ' s majority by over 80 % . He opposed the coal strike of 1894 and the proposed eight - hour work limits for miners , but was generally recognised by his workers as a generous employer ; during the coal strike he supported the families of the strikers . He again ran for Parliament at a by - election in UK Parliament constituency in June 1899 , losing to Arthur Dewar . On the local level , he was an elder of his parish church and member of the local school board , as well as the parish council and the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland . He was promoted to colonel in 1888 , being made CB in 1889 and given command of the 2nd Battalion of the Black Watch in 1894 . In 1898 he commanded a brigade in the reconquest of the Sudan , seeing action at Atbara and Omdurman , and was promoted to major - general that year as a result . He was appointed to command the 3rd ( Highland ) Brigade in the South African War , which saw action at Belmont and Modder River as part of the force sent to relieve Kimberley . Pushing further , they again encountered the Boer force at Magersfontein In the resulting Battle of Magersfontein , the Highland Brigade was ordered to make a dawn attack on the Boer defences . However , the force was spotted before it was prepared to attack , and faulty reconnaissance meant that the enemy positions were not properly located ; the column came under heavy fire as it struggled to deploy for action . Wauchope was killed by rifle fire in the opening minutes of combat ; the brigade was pinned and went to ground . It held its position for a short while - after Wauchope ' s death , it was leaderless , and no - one would take command until late in the afternoon - and despite the Guards Brigade being in support , in the early afternoon it was routed . Wauchope ' s dying words are a subject of some dispute ; Douglas ' biography , quotes them as " Don ' t blame me for this , lads " . Arthur Conan Doyle wrote that :

USS Monocacy ( PG - 20 ) USS " Monocacy " was a shallow draft gunboat built for service on the Yangtze River . It was pre - constructed at Mare Island Navy Yard in 1912 and then dismantled and shipped to Shanghai , China . She was laid down by the Shanghai Dock & Engineering Co . 28 April 1913 . One year later , or 27 April 1914 she was launched , sponsored by Mrs . Andrew E . Carter , and commissioned 24 June 1914 , with Lt . Andrew E . Carter in command . Service history . Assigned to the 2nd Division , Asiatic Fleet ( formalized as the Yangtze Patrol in 1922 ) , " Monocacy " sailed upriver from Shanghai on 29 June 1914 to cruise between Ichang and Chungking . For the next 15 years , but for annual visits to Shanghai for overhaul , the gunboat patrolled the upper Yangtze with Chungking her upriver base . " Monocacy " protected American interests in treaty ports down the entire length of the Yangtze , at times escorting vessels , evacuating American citizens during periods of disturbance , and , in general , assisting U . S . Consulates in various Chinese cities . On 16 January 1918 , Chinese southern revolutionary troops attacked the little warship above Chenglin ; during which " Monocacy " prevented the rebels from firing on a Japanese steamer standing down stream . One crewman was killed and two others were wounded in the short but fierce fight . In June 1920 , she was reclassified as PG - 20 and a month later she engaged in another battle . Three years later , in February and March 1923 , the gunboat operated against bandits holding up American missionaries and firing upon U . S . flag vessels above Kiangnang , rescuing the Syracuse Medical Unit and a number of American families . Later that year , she protected U . S . river commerce from warlord armies and then in August , she established friendly relations with the Governor of Kiangsin Province . " Monocacy " continued her patrol operations on the upper Yangtze , reclassified PR ‑ 2 on 15 June 1928 . She was placed in reserve 24 June 1929 . Based at Shanghai , the gunboat cruised the lower river , making less frequent voyages to her original patrol area between Chungking and Ichang . She was placed in full commission once again 19 September 1931 to join other American naval vessels on the river in assisting the many Chinese forced from their homes by August floods which had inundated of land during the worst disaster in the river ’ s history . In 1933 , " Monocacy " began to serve as station ship in various treaty ports during the cruising season , with her crew serving as a landing force in case of trouble . " Monocacy " was at Kiuklang protecting American neutrality during the Japanese invasion of China , when on 29 August 1938 several mines exploded within of the ship , showering the gunboat with fragments . She was then held at the port until the Japanese completed sweeping operations some days later . She was decommissioned at Shanghai on 31 January 1939 . The veteran gunboat was towed to sea and sunk 10 February , in deep water off the China coast .

General ( Germany ) General ( ) is the highest rank of the German Army and German Air Force . As a four - star rank it is the equivalent to the rank of admiral in the German Navy . Early history . The German rank of general most likely saw its first use within the religious order s of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation , albeit in modified forms and usage from the current understanding of general . By the 16th century , with the rise of standing armies , the German states had begun to appoint generals from the nobility to lead armies in battle . A standard rank system was developed during the Thirty Years War , with the highest rank of " General " usually reserved for the ruling sovereign ( e . g . the Kaiser or Elector ) and the actual field commander holding the rank of " Generalleutnant " . " Feldmarschall " was a lower rank at that time , as was " Generalwachtmeister " . By the 17th and 18th centuries , the rank of general was present in all the militaries of the German states , and saw its greatest usage by the militaries of Bavaria and Prussia . It was these two militaries that created the concept of the “ general staff ” , which was often manned entirely by members of the nobility . To be a general implied membership in the noble class as a count or " Graf " , baron or " Freiherr " ( this also accounts for most German generals of this era having the prefix “ von ” before their names ) . 19th century . During the Napoleonic Wars , the ranks of German generals were established in four grades , beginning with " Generalmajor " , followed by " Generalleutnant " , " General " and " Generalfeldmarschall " . The standard uniforms and insignia , used for over a century , also developed during this period . The title of " General " ( three stars ) included the officer ' s branch of service , leading to the titles of " General der Infanterie " ( " general of the infantry " ) , " General der Kavallerie " ( " general of the cavalry " ) and " General der Artillerie " ( " general of the artillery " ) . In 1854 , Prussia introduced the rank of " Generaloberst " ( supreme general , usually ( mis ) translated colonel - general ) so that officers could be promoted further than " General " without becoming a " Generalfeldmarschall " , as this rank was usually bestowed only for extraordinary achievements during wartime service . Later , another special grade known as " Generaloberst im Range eines Generalfeldmarschalls " ( colonel general in the rank of a field marshal ) was first used in Bavaria to denote colonel ( i . e . , supreme ) generals who were given the authority of field marshals without the actual rank . During the German Empire , the insignia of German generals was established as a heavy golden shoulder board with up to four pips ( stars ) denoting seniority as a general . The rank of " Generalfeldmarschall " displayed a crossed set of marshal ' s baton s on the shoulder board . German generals also began wearing golden ornaments ( " Arabeske " ) on their collars , in contrast to the collar bars ( " Doppellitzen " ) worn by elite units , or the plain colored collars of the rest of the German military forces . The grade of " supreme general in the rank of a field marshal " ( " Generaloberst im Range eines Generalfeldmarschalls " ) was introduced in the Prussian / Imperial army in 1871 . It was bestowed on senior generals usually holding the appointment of an army inspector and therefore army commanders designate in the case of hostilities . The shoulder board rank was crossed batons with three pips . The rank of supreme general proper ( with three pips only ) was created in 1901 . In the Prussian army , the rank of field marshal could be awarded only to active officers in wartime if they had won a battle or stormed a fortress . In times of peace , the rank was awarded as an honorary rank to friendly princes and as Charakter ( honorary ) to generals of merit when they retired — " general with the honorary rank of field marshal " ( " General mit dem Charakter eines Generalfeldmarschall " ) - which was cancelled in 1911 . At the same time , the rank insignia for colonel general with the rank of field marshal was changed to four pips without batons . World War II . The German rank of " General " saw its widest usage during World War II . Due to the massive expansion of the German armed forces ( " Wehrmacht " ) , a new “ wave ” of generals was promoted in the 1930s that would lead Germany into war . " Reichsmarschall " . The post of the " Reichsmarschall " was the highest military ranking that a German could reach . The post was held solely by Hermann Göring the most powerful Nazi leader in Germany apart from Hitler . Göring also happened to serve as the head of the Luftwaffe and was responsible for handling Germany ' s war economy . " Generalfeldmarschall " . In 1936 , Hitler revived the rank of field marshal ( pic . 1 and 2 ) . " Generaloberst " . The rank of " Generaloberst " ( pic . 3 ) , usually translated as " colonel general " , but perhaps better as " senior general " . A " Generaloberst " was usually an army commander . " General " . This rank ( pic . 4 ) was formally linked to the branch of the army " Heer " , or air force Luftwaffe , in which the officer served , and ( nominally ) commanded : in addition to the long established " General der Kavallerie " , " General der Artillerie " and " General der Infanterie " , the Wehrmacht also had " General der Panzertruppe n " ( armoured troops ) , " General der Gebirgstruppe n " ( mountain troops ) , " General der Pioniere " ( engineers ) , " General der Fallschirmtruppe n " ( parachute troops ) , " General der Flieger " ( aviators ) , " General der Flakartillerie " ( anti - aircraft ) , " General der Nachrichtentruppe n " ( communications troops ) and " General der Luftnachrichtentruppe n " ( air communications troops ) . A " General " was usually a corps commander . " Generalleutnant " . The German " Generalleutnant " ( pic . 5 ) was usually a senior division commander . " Generalmajor " . The German " Generalmajor " ( pic . 6 ) was usually a junior division commander . The staff corps of the " Wehrmacht " , medical , veterinary , judicial and chaplain , used special designations for their general officers , with " Generalarzt " , " Generalveterinär " , " Generalrichter " and " Feldbischof " being the equivalent of " Generalmajor " ; " Generalstabsarzt " , " Generalstabsveterinär " and " Generalstabsrichter " the equivalent of " Generalleutnant " ; and ( the unique ) " Generaloberstabsarzt " , " Generaloberstabsveterinär " and " Generaloberstabsrichter " the equivalent of " General " . With the formation of the Luftwaffe , air force generals began to use the same general ranks as the German army . The shoulder insignia was identical to that used by the army , with the addition of special collar patches worn by Luftwaffe general officers . The supreme rank of " Reichsmarschall " ( Reich Marshal ) was created in 1940 for Hermann Göring . Waffen - SS . In 1941 , the " Waffen - SS " began using general ranks in addition to standard SS ranks . An " Oberst - Gruppenführer " of the " Waffen - SS " , for example , would be titled " Oberst - Gruppenführer und Generaloberst der Waffen - SS " . The " Ordnungspolizei " ( Orpo ) also used similar police ranks . The " Waffen - SS " had no field marshals , but the rank of " Reichsführer - SS " held by Heinrich Himmler was considered to be the equivalent of a field marshal ( " Generalfeldmarschall " ) during the war years . The senior colonel rank of " SS - Oberführer " has sometimes been considered to be a brigadier general equivalent ; however , this is incorrect . The rank ( in particular among the " Waffen - SS " ) was not considered equivalent to a general officer , was not entitled to the grey trouser stripes and lapel facings of a general , and wore the shoulderboards of an army full - colonel or " Oberst " . Modern usage . After World War II , the West German " Bundeswehr " and the East German " Nationale Volksarmee " adopted the rank systems of their respective military blocs . In the " Bundeswehr " , the rank of " Brigadegeneral " was inserted below the rank of " Generalmajor " . While the rank titles of " Generalmajor " , " Generalleutnant " and " General " were retained , each of those titles now denotes a higher rank than before ( e . g . the " Generalleutnant " is now a three - star general ) . Prior to the reunification of Germany , general officer rank designations in the German Democratic Republic were based on the Soviet model . " Generalmajor " was still the lowest general officer grade , followed by " Generalleutnant " , " Generaloberst " ( now three stars instead of four ) and " Armeegeneral " . In 1982 , the GDR government established the rank of " Marschall der DDR " , although no one was ever promoted to this rank .

Zombie Borghen Zombie Borghen , also known as Z . Borgan or Z . Borgen , is a boss in " Final Fantasy II " . It is Borghen , returning as a monster - in - a - box Zombie , that engages Firion and his party as they venture through the Pandaemonium . In versions of the game with Soul of Rebirth , Minwu ' s party will also encounter and fight this version of Borghen . While exploring the tunnel , Minwu finds Josef being tortured by Borghen ' s soul . Recognizing Josef , Minwu and Scott decide to help . Battle . Though he is a good deal more powerful than the first time he attacked the party , Zombie Borghen is not a fearsome opponent . When compared to the other four bosses found in the Pandaemonium — Astaroth , Beelzebub , Tiamat , and the Emperor — he is somewhat weaker . He has little HP , his Attack and Defense stats are average , and he uses low - level spells . Strategy . Borghen ' s low HP and lack of exceptional Defense leaves him an easily - defeated foe to even basic attacks . Do not have the Blood Sword equipped , as it will heal Zombie Borghen . While his extremely high Magic Defense will make it nearly impossible for spells like Toad or Life to defeat him , a Fire spell at a sufficent level and Intelligence can annihilate him with one cast . While comparatively tougher in Soul of Rebirth , Borghen is still a simple foe . Minwu should start off with Blink and use Cure either on the party or Borghen , while Scott should cast Fire .

Harbinger ( Hammerhead - class ) The Harbinger was a " Hammerhead " - class cruiser that served the Galactic Republic shortly after the Jedi Civil War . Originally assigned to patrol Republic space and deal with local troubles , the " Harbinger " was sent in 3951 BBY to the Outer Rim Territories to pick up the Jedi Exile and ferry her to Telos IV . When the " Harbinger " diverted its course to investigate a battle between a Sith warship and a light freighter , it was captured by Sith under the command of the Sith Lord Darth Sion . Sion took control of the vessel and piloted it to Peragus II in search of the Exile , who had been abducted off the ship during the earlier crisis . Surik and her companions were forced to travel through the vessel to reach their own ship , and when they attempted to flee , the " Harbinger " opened fire . In the ensuing fight , the volatile Peragus asteroid field was destroyed , with the " Harbinger " caught in the middle of the explosion . Description . The " Harbinger " was a " Hammerhead " - class cruiser . The ship ' s deckplan was the mirror image of another " Hammerhead " - class cruiser , the " Endar Spire " . The hull of the Harbinger was mostly white , with red and yellow decoration on the bow and around the engines . The vessel held at least three strike teams of Republic soldiers which could be used for boarding enemy vessels . Around three - hundred crewmen were aboard and killed when the Sith attacked the vessel , including the warship ' s captain . Other members of the crew at that time included a female medical officer and an HK - 50 assassin droid that had been posing as a protocol droid . A number of guns were located amidships , with others flanking the bridge and on the ends of the " hammerhead " portion of the vessel . Behind the hammerhead , on the exterior of the ship , sat a small golden dish , its purpose unknown . The " Harbinger " was also equipped with an umbilical , to aid in boarding other ships . The hallways of the " Harbinger " were colored navy blue and gray , and illuminated panels lined the walls providing light . The halls , doors , and most walls in the vessel were curved , and the outermost hallways had viewports looking out into space . A series of blast doors divided up the halls of the ship ; after the attack , several of these were damaged and unable to be opened , and others were magnetically sealed . Computer consoles were located throughout the ship , many of them bearing the . Command deck . The command deck , located in the bow of the ship , was home to the ship ' s bridge and navigation computer , which was located at the foremost point of the bridge . The bridge held a number of stations along its outer walls , several along a bank of computers in the middle , and a sunken console - lined pit in the center that held a pair of back - to - back chairs . A large viewport stretched around the bridge , giving a view of space on three sides . The command deck could be entered through an airlock which sat directly aft of the ship ' s side - mounted guns . A briefing room was located aft of the bridge . It contained a conference table with a computer console , and more consoles lined its walls . The escape pods were also located on the command deck , and could be locked down if needed . Crew quarters and medical bay . There were a number of cabins aboard the " Harbinger " for crew and any passengers . Each contained a pair of beds , a pair of couches , two desks with computer consoles , and storage containers where personal items were kept . The Jedi Exile was assigned to one of these cabins during her stay aboard the ship . The medical bay was near the middle of the ship , aft of the cabins . It held twenty kolto tanks , a medical droid , and a lab station . Darth Sion would be kept in , and later break out of , one of these tanks . The medical bay was also equipped with a camera system to monitor the kolto tanks . Camera records were accessible through the medical console in the center of the room , which could also read treatment requests and dispense chemicals . A maintenance room and droid storage room were located aft of the medical bay . The latter held a number of deactivated utility droid s and a protocol droid that had been sabotaged . Engine deck . In the stern section of the " Harbinger " were the warship ' s massive ion engines , accessible via a turbolift from the crew quarters deck . The vessel ' s maintenance routines allowed crewmen to enter the engine room and access the ship ' s fuel lines via a computer console . Another maintenance room was located on this level , as well as a storage room . Unlike the rest of the ship , the halls of the engine area were barren of decoration , and instead lined with pipes . Red lights illuminated the insides of the engines . Towards the middle section of the engines was the " Harbinger " fuel intake . The system was usually covered by a set of doors on the outside of the hull , which could be opened so a fuel pipe could be attached to the ship . History . A mission from Admiral Onasi . After the Jedi Civil War , the " Harbinger " was assigned to patrol several regions of Republic space , one of a scant few ships left to do so . In 3951 BBY , the ship was " en route " to Onderon to deal with the unrest on that world when it was ordered by Admiral Carth Onasi to divert its course to the Outer Rim . Admiral Onasi gave the mission highest priority , and though the captain had doubts about it , " Harbinger " soon picked up a passenger — the Jedi Exile , recently returned from outside Republic space . With its new passenger aboard , the " Harbinger " then set a course for Telos , intending to reach the world within ten days . It was meant to aid in the recovery effort on that world . One of the beings aboard the " Harbinger " had other plans , however — an HK - 50 assassin droid posing as a protocol droid , one of many scattered across the Republic fleet . The captain asked HK - 50 to keep watch on the Exile , and the droid complied , though for its own reasons . The HK - 50 , along with all the others , was hired by the crime lord Goto to capture the Exile and bring her to him so she could help him in his quest to protect the Republic from being overthrown by other powers such as the Sith . The Sith ship and the freighter . On its way back to Telos , the " Harbinger " picked up a distress signal coming from a freighter , indicating that it was under attack by Sith forces . Since they could not match the ID signature of the vessel to their own databanks , the crew of the " Harbinger " forwarded it to the Republic and requested permission to investigate . Admiral Onasi recognized the freighter as a ship he had once traveled on , the " Ebon Hawk " , and gave permission to the captain of the " Harbinger " to divert his course . Once it had investigated the Sith presence and found all it could on the " Ebon Hawk " , the " Harbinger " was to resume its course for Telos . The " Harbinger " found the " Ebon Hawk " and a Sith warship when it arrived . Attaching an umbilical to the Sith ship , they dispatched three strike teams to investigate it . An initial sweep turned up no one . This was , in fact , because the ship had held Sith assassin s , who possessed stealth abilities and were therefore able to cross back into the " Harbinger " without being detected . The sweep later uncovered another passenger of the Sith ship — a seeming corpse , its body displaying thousands of fractures and scars . The medical technicians of the " Harbinger " were unable to determine whether it was alive or dead , and so it was placed in a kolto tank . As for the freighter , an initial sweep of it turned up nothing but a T3 - series utility droid and several corpses . When the crews turned up nothing else , the " Harbinger " tractor beamed the " Ebon Hawk " over to itself . It , too , brought an unexpected passenger — Kreia . The Sith had been busy in the meantime . Crewmen began missing shifts , some were unable to be reached on the comm , and some even felt that they were being watched . The medical officer prepared to perform autopsies on the corpses recovered from the " Hawk " . The already - compromised " Harbinger " then received another blow . HK - 50 had arranged for a cascade failure in the ship ' s communications , weapons , and engine systems . The " Harbinger " was left crippled , drifting through space . The Jedi Exile , meanwhile , had been administered an excessive dose of sedatives during a routine medical examination , and HK - 50 stashed the unconscious Jedi in the ship ' s cargo compartment , intending her to remain there until the help he had summoned arrived . Kreia , however , boarded the " Harbinger " in search of the Exile . She found her in the cargo hold , and took her aboard the " Ebon Hawk " . HK - 50 , recalculating his plan , joined them . The Sith " corpse " had meanwhile proven to be quite alive — it was in fact a Sith Lord , Darth Sion , who burst from his kolto tank and announced his desire to take the Exile . The bridge , alarmed , sent a security team to the medbay , but they were quickly killed . Sion went in search of more of the " Harbinger " crew , and his assassins began decloaking and joining him . The Sith soon seized control of the vessel , and as the " Ebon Hawk " pulled away from the " Harbinger " and the " Harbinger " systems began to go critical , the capital ship fired on the freighter , hitting it as it leapt to hyperspace . Sion comes to Peragus . Somehow , the " Harbinger " was able to recover from its systems failure and set a course for Peragus II , where the " Ebon Hawk " had fled . Though no living crew could be seen on the " Harbinger " bridge , the ship was filled with invisible Sith assassins , and Sion remained there as well in a meditative pose . With the asteroid drift charts stored in the ship ' s navicomputer , the " Harbinger " was able to dock at Peragus Mining Facility . The station ' s airlock extended a walkway to the " Harbinger " own airlock and a fuel tube was extended from the fuel depot to the ship ' s engines , which were running at minimal efficiency . Kreia sensed the arrival of the " Harbinger " and realized that she had been followed by the Sith . The Exile , Kreia , and their companion Atton Rand boarded the " Harbinger " through the airlock , hoping to find a way to either escape the station on the ship or get to the " Ebon Hawk " , which was in the locked - down station hangar . When they realized the crew of the ship had been slaughtered , the former idea became unfeasible , and they learned that the " Harbinger " escape pods were locked down as well . The group determined that they could reach the hangar by going to the ship ' s engines , then getting back into the station through the fuel pipe . They also retrieved the drift charts from the navicomputer , without which they could not escape from the asteroid field . The group then made their way through the halls of the ship to its stern , fighting off the Sith assassins who began decloaking around them . Along the way , the Exile stopped briefly at her former quarters to retrieve what possessions she had left there . When they reached the stern , however , they found Sion waiting for them . Kreia engaged the Sith Lord in a duel , and the Exile and Atton escaped back into the station through the fuel line . Kreia eventually escaped the " Harbinger " , and the three departed the station in the " Ebon Hawk " . The " Harbinger " set a course to pursue , however , and began firing upon the " Hawk " . In the firefight , a stray shot from one of the vessels impacted one of the asteroids , which set off a chain reaction of volatile chemicals . The Peragus asteroid field exploded , and the " Harbinger " was caught in the midst of it , though Sion survived . The Republic later sent the " Sojourn " to search for the missing " Harbinger " and investigate the destruction of Peragus . Commanders and crew . The " Harbinger " was commanded by a single captain , a Human male , following orders given by Admiral Carth Onasi and contained a complement of at least three military strike teams while on its mission to Telos IV . It had specific medical , mechanical , security , and navigational crews ; all headed by a specific Human officer who reported directly to the captain . Every member of the ship ' s crew was given their own room to live in while aboard and this courtesy was also provided to guests . A fully - staffed " Hammerhead " - class cruiser had around 300 crewmembers to keep it functioning properly , each wearing standard Fleet uniforms denoting they worked as either a soldier or simply a member of the ship ' s staff . Regardless of rank , the entirety of the " Harbinger " crew was killed by Darth Sion a few days after he was brought aboard for treatment . After that , Sion took command of the vessel and piloted it himself . Behind the scenes . The " Harbinger " is one of the playable levels in " " . Composed of three separate maps — the command deck , crew quarters , and engine room — it is part of the game ' s introductory sequence in the Peragus Mining Facility . As the " Harbinger " pursues the " Ebon Hawk " from Peragus in " The Sith Lords " , the player is presented with the opportunity to return fire and risk hitting the volatile asteroids . At the player ' s whim , the " Ebon Hawk " can fire the shot that destroys the asteroid field and the mining facility . The player can also choose to take evasive maneuvers instead , which results in the " Harbinger " destroying the field . However , the player choosing to fire the shot does not effect the outcome of either the TSF or the Republic ' s investigation into the destruction as the game still plays as if it was destroyed by Sion . The only differences are the cut scenes , and , when questioned about the destruction , the player is given the option to lie , and say that it was Sion .

bloodfin

Bloodfin ( Star Destroyer ) The Bloodfin was a " Turbulent " - class Star Destroyer that began its service in the naval forces of the Imperial Remnant in 41 ABY . It was built to serve as the flagship of Grand Admiral Gilad Pellaeon . By 44 ABY , the ship was commanded by Admiral Vitor Reige and Head of State Jagged Fel , who succeeded Pellaeon as leader of the Remnant after the Second Galactic Civil War came to an end . Description . The " Bloodfin " was smaller in comparison with other Star Destroyers of the time . Despite its physical deviation from the traditional design of Star Destroyers , the vessel possessed a greater capacity for maneuverability . Although it was meant to perform as a " pocket destroyer , " the " Bloodfin " still retained much of the impressive weaponry that could be found on the more common destroyers . History . The " Bloodfin " entered its first military engagement at the Second Battle of Fondor in 41 ABY . When Gilad Pellaeon refused to comply with the Sith Lord Darth Caedus ' orders to ignore the ceasefire and attack Fondor , Tahiri Veila assassinated him with the support of the Moff Council , including Quille and Rosset . Although they ensured that the Remnant remained loyal to Caedus , the " Bloodfin " was boarded by Mandalorian Protectors , which then resulted in the deaths of most of the ship ' s crew . After the battle , the " Bloodfin " was added to Natasi Daala ' s Maw Irregular Fleet , under the command of Admiral Vitor Reige . After the conclusion of the Second Galactic Civil War , the " Bloodfin " returned to the service of the Imperial Remnant while still under Reige ' s command . In 44 ABY , it was part of a large task force that was led by Jagged Fel in a preemptive strike on Daala ' s insurrectionist fleet . During the Battle over Exodo II , the destruction of the " Gilad Pellaeon " forced Fel to transfer the status of flagship over to the " Bloodfin " as the fighting intensified between the Remnant armada and the Maw Irregular Fleet .

torchwood

Torchwood ( team ) Torchwood , in its 2011 incarnation , was an unofficial group formed by the surviving Torchwood 3 team members Jack Harkness and Gwen Cooper following Miracle Day . This followed the dissolution of Torchwood 3 and the destruction of the Hub in 2009 . This new team attempted to uncover the nature of Miracle Day and set out to unmask the unknown perpetrators . Torchwood operated as an informal team until Torchwood Cardiff was officially re - established in 2017 . Overview . While the former Institute had formally employed salaried agents and performed activities funded by the Crown , for the team which continued to use its name , " Torchwood " was " just a word " which united its members . The new Torchwood team was an international group of individuals that operated independently of any governments and countries . History . After the defeat of the 456 in September 2009 , the Torchwood Institute was left with only two active operatives : Jack Harkness and Gwen Cooper , the latter pregnant . Torchwood ' s activities immediately following the incident are unknown , but six months later in March 2010 , Harkness , having spent an unknown amount of time travelling the world on his own , decided to leave Earth , leaving Cooper — now heavily pregnant — as the last known Torchwood operative . It was at this point that the Institute disbanded . ( TV : " " ) Jack returned to Earth when the word " Torchwood " was emailed across the world , coinciding with the start of the Miracle Day phenomenon in 2011 . He used malware to expunge evidence of Torchwood from the Internet and went to the CIA hard copy records in Langley , Virginia to clear the last of the information . ( TV : " The New World " ) Despite the Torchwood Institute being known to the British government and UNIT , ( TV : " The Christmas Invasion " ) it appeared the CIA were not aware of the organisation , as the deletion of the files caught the attention of agents Rex Matheson and Esther Drummond . ( TV : " The New World " ) In Wales , Matheson tracked down Cooper - - now living undercover with her husband and daughter - - and also made contact with Harkness . He used the United States ' rendition policy to extradite Jack and Gwen . ( TV : " The New World " , " Rendition " ) It turned out that an organisation known as the Families had decided to hunt down everyone with knowledge of Torchwood , including Rex and Drummond . ( TV : " Rendition " ) Rex and Esther had no choice but to become members of the new Torchwood team . They were initially based in Washington DC , ( TV : " Dead of Night " ) then moved west to Venice Beach in Los Angeles . ( TV : " Escape to LA " ) When the CIA discovered a null field generator that allowed Angelo Colasanto to die ( the only death recorded during the Miracle ) , Gwen was deported to the United Kingdom by Allen Shapiro after Jack initially refused to tell Shapiro what it was . Shapiro attempted at this time to put Torchwood under direct command of the CIA . Jack and Esther went on the run as they escaped with the generator , which Jack considered too dangerous for humanity to use . Rex rejoined the CIA to aid Jack from the inside . ( TV : " End of the Road " ) In Swansea , two months later , Oswald Danes demanded to see Jack . Danes had new leads on the Miracle and effectively became a member of the team . The Torchwood team reformed and were led to Buenos Aires and Shanghai , where the Blessing lay . ( TV : " The Gathering " ) The team stopped the Blessing from emitting the Miracle . Esther died from injuries sustained from the Families ' agent , the Cousin . Oswald buried the Shanghai side of the Blessing in a suicide bombing . At Esther ' s funeral , Jack suggested he formally set up the team . ( TV : " The Blood Line " ) Rebuilding Torchwood . In 2015 , Gwen Cooper and Rhys Williams were investigating a case together in North Wales . They eventually decided that Rhys was now also part of the informal Torchwood team . ( AUDIO : " Forgotten Lives " ) By 2017 , Gwen returned to service as part of Torchwood in order to deal with temporary holes in space time which brought through new alien phenomena in Cardiff despite the apparent closing of the Rift years prior , which they weren ' t sure was a sign of the Rift reopening or simply the position in Cardiff being vulnerable , with assistance from PC Andy while Rhys looked after Anwen . Gwen approached Roger Pugh , Planning Officer for Cardiff City Council , in order to establish a new Torchwood Cardiff facility which would replace the long - gone Hub . After Gwen showed Roger a day of her work first hand , he gave her his support . ( AUDIO : " More Than This " )

Tank Training Centre Polish Army Tank Training Centre - training unit of the Polish Tank Units in the Soviet Union , the Middle East and Italy . Formation . On 20 September 1941 Major Szostak , Commander of the Polish Armoured Forces in the Soviet Union submitted a wide ranging training plan for the Polish Units by proposing to create a training centre of tank and transport troops to be attached to the Soviet Tank Training School in Saratov . The plan was approved by Gen Anders and submitted to the Soviet authorities in Moscow . Their agreement was never received . Then Major Szostak , on his own initiative , approached Col Rogonin commanding officer of the Saratov Tank School with a plan to train Polish units which were being formed , on the School equipment . Col Rogonin favoured the plan but its approval was never received from the Ulianovsk Military District . At the beginning of January 1942 Gen Anders ordered further enlargement of the Polish Forces in the Soviet Union . At the same time the army command started making plans to adopt British army structure and Major Szostak , on 15 Jan , 1942 ordered the formation of the following units : Core of the Tank Training Centre was to consist of the 5th and the 6th Tank Battalions . At the beginning the Centre was located in the region of Carabalty in the vicinity of Frunze . The training started on 15 Feb . 1942 . Towards the end of March troops were evacuated to Iran . In the 2nd Polish Corps . After the evacuation to the Middle East , Gen . Anders ordered re - organisation of the army . On the 4th April , 1942 he ordered formation of the 2nd Tank Brigade . Gen . Paszkiewicz ( c . o . of the brigade ) outlined structure of the brigade and appointed commanding officers . Initially Tank Training Centre was attached to the brigade but later became a part of the Army Training Centre under a name of Transport and Tank Training Centre commanded by Major Szostak . Initially there was a shortage of the training equipment and even some light Italian tanks had to be transported to the Centre from the battlefields of North Africa . Training was progressing slowly due to the heat . On October 19 , 1943 a full quota of Sherman tanks was received to train units of the 2nd Tank Brigade . The entire training of the tank units of the 2nd Polish Corps was conducted by the Centre , commanded by Lt . Col . Szostak . In March 1944 the Centre was stationed in St . Basilio and Metra in Italy and became part of the Reserve Armoured Troops Centre of the 2nd Polish Corps ( Gen Anders order dated 15 April 1944 ) .

Derelict stations can be found across the Capital Wasteland and the Commonwealth , usually in close proximity to former auto - maintenance garages , public rest areas , and suburban settlements . Although Red Rocket was known to distribute petroleum - based fuels such as gasoline and diesel , by 2077 certain locations in the Boston area exclusively offered reactor coolant for nuclear - powered vehicles . " Class A Coolant " was sold for the going rate of $ 103 . 99 per gallon , and " Class C Coolant " for $ 113 . 99 . They also offered a robotic car cleaning service at some stations which was advertised on billboards across the Commonwealth . At an unconfirmed date , Red Rocket had a vault installed underneath their headquarters , also known as Vaultopolis . The vault ' s location is discovered by the raider , Paula Plumbkin .

USS Wright ( AV - 1 ) Construction and commissioning . Originally the unnamed " hull no . 680 " , the ship was laid down at Hog Island , Pennsylvania by the American International Shipbuilding Corporation under a United States Shipping Board contract . Named " Wright " on 20 April 1920 , the ship was launched on 28 April . A little over two months later , the Navy signed a contract with the Tietjen and Lang Dry Dock Company of Hoboken , New Jersey to convert the ship to a unique type of auxiliary vessel , a " lighter - than - air aircraft tender . " On 17 July 1920 , the ship received that classification and was designated AZ - 1 . " Wright " was commissioned at the New York Navy Yard on 16 December 1921 . Her first commanding officer was Captain ( later Admiral ) Alfred W . Johnson , who also discharged the collateral duties of Commander , Air Squadrons , Atlantic Fleet . Johnson was the first of a long line of commanding officers for the ship , some of whom later distinguished themselves ; men such as John Rodgers , Ernest J . King , Aubrey W . Fitch , Patrick N . L . Bellinger , and Marc A . Mitscher . Service history . 1922 . From the New York Navy Yard , " Wright " sailed for the Philadelphia Navy Yard and reached there on 22 February 1922 . After installation of her armament , the lighter - than - air aircraft tender departed Philadelphia on 2 March , touching at Hampton Roads , Virginia and Charleston , South Carolina en route to the Florida coast . Arriving at Key West on the 11th , " Wright " reported for special duty with the first division of Scouting Squadron 1 – a unit that included the seaplane NC - 10 piloted by Lieutenant Clifton A . F . Sprague and a half - dozen F5L seaplanes . Three days later , the tender put to sea for operations with Scouting Division 1 out of Guantanamo Bay , Cuba . There , she was later joined by the six planes of Division 2 and two planes of Division 3 . " Wright " , fitted out with a unique " balloon well " built into the ship ' s hull , aft , to enable her to tend a kite balloon assigned to the ship for experimental operations , departed Guantanamo Bay on 10 April and ( while en route back to Key West ) conducted maneuvers to experiment with the kite observation balloon . A few weeks after " Wright " reached her destination , the NC - 10 flying boat had her bottom sucked out while she attempted to take off and began to sink in seven feet of water . A rescue and repair party salvaged the hull and other parts of the seaplane and brought them on board the tender . Two days later , " Wright " sailed for the Philadelphia Navy Yard and , after brief stops at Norfolk and Charleston en route , arrived there on 8 May . Following repairs and alterations at Philadelphia between 8 May and 21 June , " Wright " headed south and conducted tending operations from Norfolk to Pensacola , Florida , and back . While in Hampton Roads on 16 July , " Wright " sent up her kite balloon for the last time before transferring it ashore to be based at the Hampton Roads Naval Air Station ( NAS ) . Later that summer , " Wright " visited New York City and then shifted to Newport , Rhode Island , arriving there on 7 August . The ship tended seaplanes in that vicinity , as they engaged in formation bombing exercises on stationary and towed targets . " Wright " and her brood subsequently operated off Solomons Island , Maryland where the seaplanes conducted battle practice and bombing rehearsals . From 15 to 24 September , she tended the 13 F5L seaplanes from Scouting Squadron 1 as they conducted bombing practice on towed targets in the Chesapeake Bay region . Later that autumn , " Wright " visited Baltimore . Following her visit to that port , " Wright " cruised down the eastern seaboard for training operations out of Key West . 1923 – 1924 . On 28 January 1923 , " Wright " departed Florida waters in company with the converted minesweepers and and supported the 18 patrol planes of Scouting Squadron 1 in combined fleet tactics in waters ranging from Cuba and Honduras to the Panama Canal . Between 18 and 22 February , Wright ' s planes participated in Fleet Problem I — a phase of which tested the defenses of the Panama Canal . Assigned to the " Blue " fleet , " Wright " and the two sister " Bird - boats " ( " Sandpiper " and " Teal " ) tended the planes from Scouting Squadron 1 that assisted that force as well as Army coastal and air units in defending the Panama Canal against air attack . The attacking " Black " fleet used two battleships as substitutes for " aircraft carriers " which it did not possess . On 21 February , one of those simulated flattops , " Oklahoma " ( BB - 37 ) , launched a single plane to scout ahead of the " Black " fleet , and , the following morning , sent a single plane aloft . That aircraft – which took off from " Naranyas Cay " — represented a carrier air group , and made her approach to the canal undetected . It dropped 10 miniature bombs and theoretically " destroyed " the Gatun spillway . After returning to Key West on 11 April , " Wright " spent the next two years off the Eastern Seaboard of the United States , operating out of Hampton Roads and Newport in waters that ranged from the Virginia Capes to the Virgin Islands . 1925 – 1932 . " Wright " ultimately departed Hampton Roads on 21 January 1925 as " flagship " for Capt . Harry E . Yarnell , Commander , Air Squadrons , Scouting Fleet , bound for the Pacific Ocean . After transiting the Panama Canal , the tender reached Pearl Harbor on 25 February and operated in the Hawaiian area until 8 June when she proceeded back to the East Coast of the United States , reaching Norfolk on 18 July . Soon after " Wright ' s " return to the Eastern Seaboard , work began to convert the ship to a " heavier - than - air aircraft tender " and , by 1 December , the work was complete . Reclassified AV - 1 , the tender continued to support the seaplanes of the Scouting Fleet , operating out of Hampton Roads and Newport , to ports of Florida , Cuba , and Panama . As flagship for Commander , Aircraft Squadrons , Scouting Force reclassified to Commander , Aircraft , Scouting Force in 1932 , " Wright " usually spent four months of each winter in operations out of Guantanamo Bay in waters reaching from Panama to the Virgin Islands . For the remainder of the year , she worked in the Narragansett Bay and Chesapeake Bay areas , operating , as before , out of Hampton Roads and Newport with periodic cruises to the warmer climes of Florida or port visits to New York City . " Wright ' s " tending duties along the Eastern Seaboard and into the Caribbean continued until 3 February 1932 . Varying her duties as tender were several assignments for special service . Special services , 1927 – 1929 . When the Coast Guard destroyer rammed and sank the submarine on the afternoon of 17 December 1927 off Provincetown , Massachusetts , " Wright " immediately loaded six salvage pontoons at the Norfolk Navy Yard and set out for the scene of the disaster . Although delayed by strong Atlantic gales , " Wright " reached Provincetown , via Boston , on the afternoon of 21 December . Meanwhile , on the day that " Wright " departed Norfolk , her commanding officer , specially detached , Capt . Ernest J . King , took the train from Norfolk to New York and proceeded thence by plane to Provincetown . Arriving on board at 1315 on 18 December , Capt . King became senior aide to Rear Admiral Frank H . Brumby and took direct charge of the salvage operations . " S - 4 " was finally brought to the surface on St . Patrick ' s Day 1928 and subsequently taken to the Boston Navy Yard . Meanwhile , " Wright " had been detached from the operation two days after Christmas 1927 and returned to Norfolk . The following year , the ship ' s routine was broken by transporting building materials to the hurricane - devastated island of St . Croix ; and , in 1929 , she carried Marines to Cuba when trouble threatened in Haiti . 1932 – 1935 . " Wright " stood out of Hampton Roads on 5 January 1932 and supported air patrol squadron tactical evolutions ranging from Cuba and Jamaica to Coco Solo , Canal Zone . Arriving at the latter port on 1 February , the tender transited the isthmian waterway two days later , accompanying and tending the planes from Patrol Squadrons ( VP ) 2 and 5 . After tactical evolutions off Acapulco and at Magdalena Bay , Mexico , " Wright " made port at NAS North Island , San Diego , on 20 February . From the time of her arrival at NAS North Island , on 20 February 1932 until 10 September 1939 , " Wright " made 14 extended cruises in support of naval seaplane squadrons . The first of those began when she departed San Diego on 1 May 1933 for an aviation transport run that included an inspection by Rear Admiral John Halligan , Jr . , Commander , Aircraft Squadrons , Battle Force , of the Fleet Air Base ( FAB ) at Pearl Harbor . After returning to San Diego on 4 June , " Wright " operated along the West Coast , followed by a cruise to Panama and the Caribbean , between 31 August and 14 October , tending the planes from VP - 2F , VP - 5F , VP - 10 , and Utility Patrol Squadron 3 . " Wright " sailed again for Hawaiian waters on 5 January 1934 ; and – in operations that took her from Hilo Bay , Hawaii , to Midway Island and French Frigate Shoals — tended 32 seaplanes . She then returned to San Diego on 30 May and departed again on 18 July for her first voyage to Alaskan waters . Steaming by way of Seattle , Washington , the tender visited Ketchikan and Juneau in early August before she tended two squadrons of seaplanes in waters near Seward and Sitka , Alaska . Proceeding via Vancouver , British Columbia , and San Francisco , " Wright " arrived back in San Diego on 6 September 1934 and remained in nearby waters for the rest of the year . 1935 – 1938 . On 4 January 1935 , " Wright " departed San Diego for tender operations off Panama ; Cartagena , Colombia ; Curaçao , Netherlands West Indies ; Trinidad , British West Indies ; and the Dominican Republic and Haiti . Upon completion of those exercises , she returned to San Diego on 1 March but soon sailed again for northern climes to operate between Dutch Harbor and Sitka from 29 April to 28 May before resuming her local tending operations along the coast of California . " Wright " departed San Diego on 10 October and took up a plane guard station off Las Tres Marias , Mexico , soon thereafter , covering one leg of the flight of the Consolidated XP3Y which took off from Cristobal Harbor , Canal Zone , on 14 October for a non - stop flight to Alameda , Calif . Commanded by Lt . Comdr . Knefler " Sock " McGinnis who was assisted by Lt . ( jg . ) J . K . Averill , Naval Aviation Pilot T . P . Wilkinson , and a crew of three – the plane passed abeam of " Wright " at 2210 on 14 October . That XP3Y reached Alameda in 24 hours and 45 minutes – thus establishing a new world ' s record for Class C seaplanes of 3 , 281 . 383 miles airline distance and 3 , 443 . 225 miles broken - line distance . Returning to San Diego from her planeguard station on 17 October , Wright spent only a short period in port and sailed again four days later , for Palmyra Island . Reaching that point on the last day of October , " Wright " supported the planes photographing the island and served as " home " for the survey party sent ashore . Setting course for Pearl Harbor on 2 November , she later embarked men of VP - 6F for transport to French Frigate Shoals . She then tended three squadrons of seaplanes off East Island while her diving party engaged in reef - blasting operations for the seaplane base being established there . Terminating that support duty on 12 November , " Wright " headed for the West Coast , reaching San Diego on 28 November . For the remainder of 1935 , " Wright " operated locally . Her coastwise duties were interrupted between 16 January and 28 February 1936 by an aviation support cruise to Post Office Bay , Galápagos Islands ; Santa Elena , Ecuador ; and Balboa , Canal Zone . Wright then participated in fleet problems off Lower California and cruised to Sitka Sound , Alaska , where she tended a utility plane wing ( two squadrons ) and a patrol wing of five squadrons , between 22 August and 28 September . After repairs at the Mare Island Navy Yard , Vallejo , California , Wright departed San Diego on 10 October 1936 for Pearl Harbor and thence sailed once more to French Frigate Shoals , reaching there on 25 October . She then landed a camp detachment to establish a base on East Island , and tended seaplanes from VP - 1 , VP - 3 , VP - 4 , and VP - 10 until 6 November . After returning to the West Coast , " Wright " subsequently made a winter training cruise to the Caribbean between 2 February and 26 March 1937 and then , after her return to San Diego , departed the West Coast on 18 April in company with for fleet problems that stretched to the Hawaiian Islands . Following her return to San Diego on 3 June , " Wright " spent the next year in coastal operations that took her as far south as Lower California . She made a cruise to Kodiak and Sitka Sound between 20 June and 5 August 1938 . On 20 October of that year , Commander , Aircraft , Scouting Force , was detached from the ship ; and " Wright " became flagship for Commander , Patrol Wing 1 , Aircraft , Scouting Fleet . 1939 – 1941 . The tender departed San Diego on 2 January 1939 to participate in winter maneuvers in the Caribbean with her aviation units and took part in Fleet Problem XX . Reaching Norfolk from Puerto Rico on 14 March , the seaplane tender returned to the West Coast soon thereafter , as part of the general movement of the fleet from Atlantic to Pacific . Back at San Diego on 16 May , Wright operated out of that port until 10 September , when she sailed for the Hawaiian Islands to become flagship for PatWing 2 , based at Pearl Harbor . Arriving there on 19 September ( less than three weeks after the outbreak of war in Europe ) " Wright " spent the next two years supporting the establishment of aviation bases on Midway , Canton , Johnston , Palmyra , and Wake Islands . She transported Marines and aviation personnel , as well as construction workers and contractors , between those valuable bases , time and again landing cargo that ranged from construction materials to gasoline and ordnance supplies and other advance base gear . In September 1941 " Wright " was selected as the flagship of PatWing 1 , Aircraft , Scouting Force . World War II , 1941 . " Wright " departed Pearl Harbor on 20 November , bound for Wake Island , arrived at that advanced base on the 28th , and landed Comdr . " Spiv " Winfield S . Cunningham , who took command of the naval activities on the vulnerable isle , Major James " Jimmy " Patrick Sinnot Deveraux , USMC and Lt . Col Walter L . J . Bayler , USMC . Other passengers who went ashore from the seaplane tender included asphalt technicians , other construction workers , and other Marine Corps officers . The ship also delivered 63 , 000 gallons of gasoline to Wake ' s storage tanks before setting course for Midway . There , she delivered a cargo that included ammunition and disembarked passengers that included men reporting for duty at the NAS and with other Marine Corps ground units . Then , with military and civilian passengers embarked , " Wright " departed Midway on 4 December and headed for Pearl Harbor . While en route , she received the electrifying news that the Japanese had attacked Pearl Harbor on the morning of 7 December . Word of the attack arrived shortly after 0800 that day , and " Wright " cleared for action and manned her battle stations . Fortunately for her , she never crossed the path of the Japanese striking force . After reaching Pearl Harbor the day after the Japanese attack , " Wright " got underway on 19 December to transport 126 Marines of the 4th Defense Battalion , with their gear , to Midway . She returned to Pearl Harbor on the day after Christmas with 205 civilians embarked . 1942 . " Wright " then underwent voyage repairs , loaded stores and cargo , embarked passengers , and set sail for the South Seas . Departing Pearl Harbor on 2 April , " Wright " touched at Tutuila , Samoa ; the Fiji Islands ; Espiritu Santo , in the New Hebrides — where she debarked men of VP - 72 — and Nouméa , New Caledonia , before she reached Sydney , Australia , on 26 April . After visiting Melbourne and Fremantle , " Wright " headed for the Hawaiian Islands , retracing her course , and reached Pearl Harbor on 16 June . For the next five and one - half months , " Wright " shuttled military passengers , arms , gasoline , and other equipment to Midway and other defense bases of the Hawaiian Sea Frontier . Leaving Oahu on 1 December , " Wright " headed for the South Pacific carrying , as passengers , the officers and men of Marine Scout Bomber Squadron 233 ( VMSB 233 ) and VMSB - 234 , along with other passengers and logistic support cargo . 1943 . The seaplane tender debarked the personnel from VMSB - 233 at Espiritu Santo and those from VMSB - 234 at Nouméa before she returned to Pearl Harbor on 17 January 1943 . She sailed thence to Midway , transporting a group of passengers that included 205 Marines , and from there shifted to the Fiji Islands where she disembarked the 7 officers and 254 enlisted men of FAB Unit 13 who were put ashore with their gear and logistic cargo . Departing the Fijis on 9 March , Wright sailed by way of Pearl Harbor , reaching Oakland , California , for an overhaul at the Moore Dry Dock Co . Following repairs and alterations , the tender put to sea on 20 July , bound for the Hawaiian Islands , and debarked the men of Marine Fighter Squadron 223 ( VMF - 223 ) at Pearl Harbor a week later . " Wright " sailed again for the Fijis at the end of July , arriving there on 12 August ; and landed the 46 officers and 399 men of VMF - 222 and VMSB - 236 . She next proceeded to Rendova harbor , Rendova Island , and tended the planes of VP - 14 until 17 January 1944 . 1944 . She then shifted to Hawthorn Sound , New Georgia , to tend that squadron along with those from VP - 71 until 18 April . Upon arriving at Gavutu harbor , Florida Island , in the Solomons , on 20 April , " Wright " loaded aviation stores before she proceeded to Espiritu Santo for repairs that lasted through the end of May . Underway on 1 June , Wright transported eight Navy officers and 256 Army passengers to Tulagi harbor before she steamed to Blanche harbor on 5 June . A week later , eight planes ( along with 26 officers and 52 men ) from VP - 101 arrived and operated from " Wright " until 17 June . Heading for Seeadler Harbor on that day , Wright embarked passengers and loaded bombs and 170 bundles of cots for transportation to New Guinea . Reaching Humboldt Bay on 23 June , the ship tended the planes and housed the 30 officers and 54 men of VP - 33 until 16 July , when she put to sea for Mios Woendi , in the Padiado Islands , Dutch New Guinea , arriving on the 17th . She then based five planes from VP - 52 — and supported the 36 officers and 66 enlisted men attached to the squadron – and three patrol planes from Royal Australian Air Force No . 20 Squadron from 19 to 26 July . Rear Admiral Frank D . Wagner , Commander , Aircraft , 7th Fleet , broke his flag in " Wright " on 27 July and used the tender as his temporary flagship . That same day , VP - 11 arrived at Mios Woendi and operated from " Wright " . VP - 52 left for duty elsewhere on 3 August , the same day that the tender stood out of the Mios Woendi anchorage that had been her " home " for over a month , bound via Edema Island , British New Guinea , for the Admiralties . Returning to Mios Woendi on 27 August after safely delivering her cargo and passengers of Fleet Air Wing 17 , " Wright " embarked the officers and men of Patrol Aircraft Service Unit 1 – 12 for transportation back to Seeadler Harbor , Manus , where she arrived on 3 September . Departing Manus the following day , " Wright " sailed for Milne Bay , New Guinea , where she debarked men from a construction battalion , and then proceeded with Pacific Service Force passengers , general cargo , and hospital patients to Brisbane , Australia . There , on 26 October , " Wright " embarked Rear Admiral Robert O . Glover , Commander , Service Force , 7th Fleet – along with his staff of 64 officers and 204 men – and became the flagship for Service Squadron 7 , Service Force , Pacific Fleet . Reclassified as headquarters ship effective 1 October 1944 , " Wright ' s " designation was changed from AV - 1 to AG - 79 . 1945 . Proceeding from Brisbane via New Guinea , " Wright " reached Seeadler Harbor on 5 January 1945 , for repairs that lasted until the 14th . She then proceeded via Humboldt Bay to San Pedro Bay , Leyte , reaching Philippine waters on 3 February 1945 . During her passage , the ship was renamed " USS San Clemente " ( AG - 79 ) on 1 February 1945 , to clear the name " Wright " for the light fleet carrier , , then under construction . " San Clemente " remained as flagship for ServRon 7 and the nerve center of the Pacific Fleet Service Force , based on San Pedro , Subic , and Manila Bays , through the end of hostilities with Japan in mid - August 1945 and the formal Japanese surrender on 2 September . 1946 . She departed Manila on 3 January 1946 , bound for the China coast ; reached Shanghai soon thereafter ; and became flagship for Service Division 101 – Commodore E . E . Duval , commanding – on 5 February . " San Clemente " remained at Shanghai in support of the Navy occupation forces there until 7 April , when she was relieved by " Holland " ( ARG - 18 ) as flagship of ServRon 101 . With hundreds of veterans embarked as passengers , " San Clemente " departed Chinese waters on 8 April , bound – via Yokosuka , Japan , and Pearl Harbor – for home . Decommissioning and sale . Reaching San Francisco on 2 May , " San Clemente " got underway again eight days later and headed for the East Coast of the United States . Reaching the New York Naval Shipyard ( the old New York Navy Yard ) on 29 May , she commenced inactivation proceedings and was decommissioned on 21 June 1946 . Struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 1 July 1946 the illustrious tender was transferred to the Maritime Commission for disposal on 21 September 1946 . She was sold for scrap on 19 August 1948 .

Background . This metal is extremely rare , found only in some of the most remote regions of Azeroth . It is believed by archaeologists to have been formed during the prehistoric reign of the Old Gods , in places where there were high concentrations of elemental creatures . In fact , elementium isn ' t native to Azeroth , and is found only near high concentrations of elemental creatures because they bring it from the Elemental Plane where it is actually quite common . The unique properties of elementium allow it to absorb and channel elemental forces . Skilled smiths temper elementium in blistering forges , adding to the quality of the item . All such objects are masterwork quality and are immune to cold , fire and electricity damage . Elementium is the hardest known metal . Elementium is so heavy that to craft armor from it would leave the wearer virtually immobile , so the metal is usually only used to craft weapons . Elementium has no market price . It ' s too rare to be available . It ' s not something you buy - it ' s something you go get .

battle of the falls
|
Falls Curfew The Falls Curfew ( also called the Battle of the Falls or the Rape of the Lower Falls ) was a British Army operation during 3 – 5 July 1970 in the Falls district of Belfast , Northern Ireland . The operation began as a search for weapons in the staunchly Irish nationalist district . As the search ended , local youths attacked the British soldiers with stones and petrol bombs and the soldiers responded with CS gas . This quickly developed into gun battles between British soldiers and the Official Irish Republican Army . Four hours after the violence began , the British commander sealed - off the area and imposed a curfew , which would last 36 hours . During that time , the British Army carried out house - to - house searches for weapons , occasionally coming under attack from the Official IRA . The searches involved much destruction and a large amount of CS gas was fired into the area . On 5 July , the curfew was brought to an end when 3 , 000 women and children from Andersonstown marched into the curfew zone with food and groceries for the locals . During the operation , four civilians were killed by the British Army , at least 75 people were wounded ( including 15 soldiers ) and 337 people were arrested . A large number of weapons and ammunition was also captured . The Falls Curfew deeply alienated Belfast ' s Irish nationalist and Catholic population from the British Army and boosted support for the IRA . Background . A week before the Falls Curfew , on Saturday 27 June 1970 , Belfast experienced severe rioting after an Orange Order parade in the north of the city . During that evening , republicans claim that groups of loyalist rioters began to make incursions into the Catholic and Irish nationalist Short Strand enclave of east Belfast . Loyalists claim that the violence was begun by the republicans ; allegeding that Orangemen and supporters came under attack on Newtownards Road when returning from a parade . Members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army took up sniping positions in the grounds of St Matthew ’ s Catholic Church and engaged in a prolonged gun battle with loyalist gunmen . Across Belfast seven people were killed , of whom five were Protestants and one was a Roman Catholic shot by the IRA . Meanwhile , the Official Irish Republican Army arranged for a large number of weapons to be brought into the mainly nationalist and Catholic Lower Falls area for distribution . The area was a stronghold of the Official IRA . The operation . Initial weapons search . In response to the violence , the following weekend the British government sent troops from the Black Watch and Life Guards regiments into the Lower Falls area to recover paramilitary weapons . The search began at about 3pm on Friday 3 July , under the command of Lieutenant General Sir Ian Freeland . An informer had tipped them off that they would find an arms dump belonging to the Official IRA in a house on Balkan Street . A column of five or six armored vehicles arrived at the house and sealed - off the street . The search uncovered 19 weapons . Gun battles and rioting . As the armored vehicles left the area , a small crowd of youths on Raglan Street pelted them with stones . The troops replied by launching CS gas at the crowd . The youths continued to throw stones and the soldiers responded with more CS gas . The stone - throwing escalated into a full - scale riot and a number of streets were hastily barricaded to prevent the British soldiers from entering . Jim Sullivan , the local Official IRA commander , feared that the troops would launch a bigger raid and instructed his men to move weapons out of the area . At about 6pm , Provisional IRA members attacked the troops with improvised hand grenade s . A number of soldiers suffered leg injuries . As more troops were sent into the area , " the Officials realized that they would have to fight " , and Sullivan ordered his men to confront the troops . An Official IRA source later said : " The way we looked at it , we were not going to put up our hands and let them take the weaponry . We didn ' t want the confrontation , but we couldn ' t surrender " . According to one source , 60 – 70 Official IRA volunteers were involved . According to another , 80 – 90 were involved . Each was armed with a rifle and at least one revolver . They exchanged fire with the troops , who fired over 1 , 500 rounds in the incident . Hundreds of local youths also pelted the troops with stones and petrol bombs . Journalist Simon Winchester later wrote : To anyone who experienced the battle , it was perfectly obvious that hundreds and hundreds of bullets were being fired by both sides – and yet the Army had the gall , when asked by reporters later in the weekend , to say that its soldiers fired only 15 shots in sum . The Army also continued firing CS gas . Catapults were used to launch heavy CS gas canisters into the area and some went through the roofs of a few houses . According to the Central Citizens ' Defence Committee , even streets where there had been no disorder " received salvo after salvo " . The soldiers fired 1 , 600 canisters of CS gas during the operation , which was considered to be excessive in such a small area . Journalist Peter Taylor describes the effect of the CS gas on the densely populated area : The clouds of choking and suffocating gas drifted up the narrow alleyways and back streets of the warren that is the Lower Falls . The gas got everywhere , in through windows , under doors and into the residents ' eyes , noses , throats and lungs . A soldier later interviewed by Taylor recalled : " The place was still saturated with CS gas . Children were coughing , I remember . I ' m talking now about the toddlers , kids of three , four , five . It affected everyone but children especially " . There were allegations that some soldiers fired CS gas canisters through the windows of houses while residents were still inside . Hundreds of women and children , along with the sick and elderly , began evacuating the area . The curfew . At 10pm on Friday 3 July , four hours after the violence began , Freeland ordered that the area be put under an indefinite curfew and that anyone on the streets be arrested . British soldiers announced the curfew through loudspeakers on the ground and in helicopters . The boundaries of the official curfew zone were the Falls Road in the west and north , Albert Street and Cullingtree Road in the east , and Grosvenor Road in the south . However , during the curfew the zone was extended in the southwest as far as Dunmore Street . There were about 3 , 000 homes inside the curfew zone . After the curfew began , up to 3 , 000 soldiers began moving into the area supported by armoured vehicles and helicopters . They also began sealing - off the curfew zone with barbed wire . Shooting and rioting continued for a number of hours after the curfew began . Directly after the curfew was imposed , three soldiers were shot and wounded by Official IRA volunteers in Omar Street . The Provisional IRA pulled out , allegedly because it believed the clash would end badly and it would lose the few weapons it had . The last shots were fired at dawn on Saturday 4 July . After sealing off the curfew zone , the Army began a house - to - house search for weapons under the cover of CS gas . At least 1 , 000 houses were searched . Any journalists who remained inside the curfew zone were arrested by the Army . It is claimed that , because the media was unable to watch their activities , the soldiers behaved " with reckless abandon " . Hundreds of houses were forcibly searched for weapons . There were scores of complaints of soldiers hitting , threatening , insulting and humiliating residents . Pubs and businesses were also searched and it is claimed that several of them were looted by the soldiers . According to Mallie and Bishop ' s account : " The soldiers behaved with a new harshness . . . axeing down doors , ripping up floorboards , disembowelling chairs , sofas , beds , and smashing the garish plaster statues of the Madonna [ . . . ] which adorned the tiny front parlours " . At a Northern Ireland Cabinet meeting on 7 July , it was said that " little structural damage had been reported , apart from the pulling up of floorboards " . The ministers concluded that there was a " smear campaign " being mounted against the British Army . The British Minister of State for defence , Lord Balniel , defended the actions of the soldiers , stating : " I am deeply impressed by the impartial way they are carrying out an extremely difficult task " . At 5pm on Saturday , the Army announced by loudspeaker that people could leave their homes for two hours to get vital supplies . However , nobody was allowed to leave or enter the curfew zone . During this time , the local Member of Parliament , Paddy Devlin , was arrested by the Army while out talking to his constituents . End of the curfew . Although the area remained sealed - off , by midday on Sunday 5 July there was a perception among locals that the operation had been abandoned . According to Hanley and Millar , " the British knew that most of the ' more attractive ' armaments had been spirited away ' before the cordon was fully effective ' " . The curfew was broken on Sunday , when 3 , 000 women and children from the nationalist Andersonstown area marched to the British lines with food and other groceries for the people there . The unprepared soldiers tried to hold back the crowd at first , but eventually allowed it to pass through . By the time the search was over , the troops had captured about 100 firearms , 100 home made grenades , 250 pounds of explosives and 21 , 000 rounds of ammunition . Among the firearms were 52 pistols , 35 rifles , 6 machine guns and 14 shotguns . Almost all of this material belonged to the Official IRA . It was later reported that while the lower Falls was under curfew and the streets emptied of people , the Army had driven two Unionist ministers , John Brooke and William Long , through the area in armoured vehicles . This enraged nationalists in Northern Ireland , who perceived the gesture as a symbol of unionist triumphalism over an area cowed by British military force . Casualties . The British Army killed four civilians during the operation : Another 60 civilians suffered gunshot wounds , as did 15 soldiers , 3 more of whom were wounded by stones or petrol bombs . A total of 337 people , including Official IRA leader Billy McMillen were also arrested . Results . The Falls Curfew had two major results . The first was that it deeply alienated Belfast ' s Irish nationalist and Catholic population from the Army . Historian Richard English suggests that the Falls Curfew was " arguably decisive in terms of worsening the relationship between the British Army and the Catholic working class " . Previously , many of them had seen the Army as a neutral force in the city to keep order between Catholics and Protestants . However , the events of the Falls Curfew gave credence to the Irish republican argument that the British Army was a hostile colonial army of occupation . According to Sinn Féin ' s Gerry Adams , " Thousands of people who had never been republicans now gave their active support to the IRA ; others , who had never had any time for physical force now regarded it as a practical necessity " . The second main result was a deepening of the enmity between the two factions of the Irish Republican Army , the Official IRA and the Provisional IRA , who had parted ways in December 1969 . The Officials blamed the Provisionals for starting the confrontation with troops and then leaving them to fight alone against overwhelming odds , resulting in the loss of much of their weaponry . Over the following year , the two factions carried out many shootings and beatings of each other ' s members . A truce was eventually agreed between them to prevent further bloodshed after the Officials assassinated a young Provisional named Charlie Hughes . Hughes was the commander of the Provisional ' s unit in the lower Falls and had taken part in some of the fighting during the Falls Curfew .
