lol. Nom was a masterful fighter. Just because he wasn't a warrior doesn't mean he was weak. Look at Onmi. Nom has hidden weapons that make him extremely dangerous. Kanos goes down.

He had the Plaeryn boll...assuming Kanos is wearing his helmet that won't work....he had false finger filled with gas...assuming Kanos is wearing his helmet that's it....when did Nom ever display any competent warrior skills? He was an intendant and a spy, not a killer.
He wimped out on facing Corran Horn, three shamed Ones brought him down and Kunra-a self admitted coward- saved his life and outfought them. He was defeated by Tahiri and Mara Jade...the only time he ever showed himself to be competent at all was when he got mad enough to fight for the Shamed Ones...and then his cowardice came back instantly
He was lying in his bed asleep when the three shamed ones attacked. Kunra was a coward, but so was Sidious according to Lucas in the ROTS commentary. Corran Horn was one of the strongest Jedi in the Order, arguable better then Katarn. Most warriors would have lost to him. Kanos would have been pwned by Corran.
Nom Anor a coward? He led the Shamed uprising against Shimrra. Coward? I don't think so.

The only poison weapon Nom always has on him is the PB. And considering he was in disguise for thirty years and not risking his neck with numerous agents...
Fine, explain Nom running from Tahiri...leading the revolt? The revolt had started when he joined in. And he courage deserted him the second he saw Mara Jade...he even murdered one of his followers to get away from her
Mara's scary. I wouldn't call you a coward if you ran from someone with an energy weapon capable of severing your head with ease and a husban that would send an entire Order of Jedi against you if you did manage to kill her.
Nom was smart. The best defense is not being there when the fighting starts.

Which was why he went weak kneed seeing her from a distance when he was in disguise and barvely slit the throat of one of his followers? He also begs and pleads at Mara's feet a short time thereafter

Explain Sidious running from Yoda. Explain Sidious begging for his life like a dog to Mace after significant defeat.
And no. That wasn't his only weapon. He didn't run around gocking at people with deadly Eye Venom. He had poisonous daggers and some other gadgets on him.

The uprising. It was mentioned that he had a large part in taking down the Empire. Assassin work, probably, since the Cong new the Empire would pwn them.

Begging to Mace? You mean 'tricking Anakin completely?' According to Lucas, he was exagerrating his weakness and faking Anakin out completely. Just watch the scene where he smirks lightly and his eyes flick to Anakin while Mace and anakin are arguing.
And Nom never carried around a deadly dagger or other gadgets minus his false finger. And explain Yoda running from Sidious. Either:
1. Sidious was judtly unwilling to chance the work of a lifetime on a single duel
2. Sidious was attempting to bring Yoda to a place where he had the advantage
And when was it mention Nom participated in the Empire's fall? Daala and Thrawn, perhaps, but not Palpatine's...as for the uprising, Nom didn't start it. Kunra did far more than Nom...Nom tried to STOP the war and he only joined in later on.
1. at that point in time, the battle'd yet to conclude and Mace'd left himself in a vulnerable position...it's the same as if the fight between Maul and Obi-wan was interrupted when Obi was dangling over the edge. Sidious was overpowered there, but he faked a lot to Anakin and the lightning part? That was clearly a fake out for Anakin.
2. At that point, Nom Anor was practically suicidal....

His behind-the-scenes actions helped hasten the eventual downfall of the fragmented Empire.
^ Nom Anor's profile in the Databank.
1. Sidious ran because he was plummeted into his office chair after a surpisngly powerful blast by Yoda. He underestimated Yoda's power and ran because he knew he would probably lose. Get it?
2. That is such bullshit! Sidious was *RUNNING AWAY* from Yoda, not looking for a "better place to duel". Stop with these excuses!
According to Lucas on the ROTS Commentary AND the Databank, Mace had "overpowered" Sidious during the entirety of their fight and faked when Anakin entered the room. Before Anakin entered, I recall seeing Palpatine scrambling to the nearest wall like a scared little animal.
