This week I turn to some of my favourite Star Wars books and my favourite Imperial Admiral from Kevin J. Anderson’s Jedi Academy trilogy and compare her campaign against the New Republic to the campaign of von Spee’s Ostasiengeschwader in 1914.
Ok, I know this may sound like a stetch but both Admirals are faced with a similar dilemma of action and situations but meet them in completely different ways. Should Daala have been more like von Spee or vice versa?
This may not be an episode for everyone but Maritime history returns next week…
You can find me on the Socials with all my links here and my substack made up of predominantly maritime and naval history (with no Star Wars content) with aviation and some local history thrown in for good measure here…
