Darth Nihilus versus Mace, Yoda, Dooku and Sidious

"hauled" is a much less definitive word than "ripped" or "tore"

I would be willing to doubt that "hauled" means he uses the force. that sounds like he used machinery.

N was stranded on Malachor V, surrounded by a bunch of crushed ships. He was a soldier during the Mandalorian Wars that was stuck on the planet during the battle.

What machinery was he going to use to tear a multi million kiloton vessel out of an artificial gravity well?

There would be an escape velocity that N would have to overcome if he was pulling it out of the gravity well.

It's just that going 80 miles an hour on a slow incline takes up a lot of fuel and eventually you would be burning twice the fule for the same speed.

What makes what he did impressive was that Malachor 5 didn't exactly have the most stable gravity field?. Dammit, forgot the terminology.

a different ship with a tractor beam? They have those in star wars. Who says he was stuck when he commandeered the ravager?

Where, exactly, have we seen a tractor beam powerful enough to liberate a ship from a gravity well? I'd like the source and citation, please.

explain the strength of a "gravity well" first.

His word is better than yours.

Then again, who's isn't?

no Kyle, HOW powerful was this one? From the googled link (which I googled before asking you, btw) it seems as though they can vary A LOT.

(oh, the Vong throwing a Moon on Serndipal is the answer to the question anyway, regardless of your upcoming sheepish admission that you don't have any idea)

The actual strength of the well is probably between 0.5-1.3G or so since the party members in KOTOR II can walk around perfectly fine on the surface of Malachor V. The gravity in orbit around the "planet" wouldn't be much different until you started getting into really high orbits. It would just be in a state of free fall (falling around the planet.)

EDIT: What I was implying wasn't about the strength, but the instability. If it was drifting in orbit, then Nihilus would have had to have brought it down, carefully, then held it there or landed it on a flat plane, either that occurred naturally or that he forcefully made and held with telekinesis.

If it was on ground, it simplifies it.

Either way, Nihilus when he ain't starving is damned powerful. He might have potentially ended up omnomming whole galaxies at a time...

Well their life force anyway.

where does it say he did that with the force?

Oh come on, really?

you ignored my Serndipal comment then?

It's irrelevant. Nemesis asked for evidence confirming the existence of a tractor beam powerful enough to haul the Ravager off-world and into space. It should be obvious that he was looking for something that existed within the known galaxy and that Nihilus or his minions actually had a hope of accessing, and it's implied that said machinery would need to be able to act on something smaller than the moon.

Notice how you're not getting responses?

Have you noticed that you only use my name when you're getting frustrated?
