Kun Pulls A Nihilus

Don't know if people have mentioned this yet, but apparently Kun raised the Corsair, Naga Sadow's flagship, from Yavin IV in the same way that Nihilus raised the Ravager from Malachor V. Yes, the nexus and circumstances and everything make it suspect, but it's worth mentioning as a colossal TK feat:

"Though all of the Derriphan-class battleships were thought to be destroyed in the Great Hyperspace War, at least one survived. The ship, belonging to Naga Sadow, was buried on Yavin 4. During the Great Sith War, Exar Kun would raise the ship from the planet and put it back to service, similar to the way Darth Nihilus would raise the Ravager from the ruined surface of Malachor V."

-- Knights of the Old Republic Campaign Guide, Page 163

Does this happen at all in the source material?

It's great Exar Kun has a new telekinetic feat, but we already knew he could do this (Kreia made pretty clear Darth Nihilus' status in comparison to the ancient Sith), especially with all the temples on Yavin IV.

Get lost, Ant. I have no need for Democrats like you.

Anyways, it's nothing to get worked up over. The Corsair is only 215m in length. The Ravager is 1200m.

It does put Dooku's cruiser hurling feat to shame, though 🙂

How big was the ship that Starkiller exploded again?

150m. Half of the originally 300m frigate.

And he shielded it as it entered Kamino atmosphere and then destroyed it to pieces, right?

Still better than what Kun is packing, although I'd say Exar is his superior nonetheless.

In fairness, Kun would've done this years before his prime, though.

Can't remember if the relevant source material actually depicts this instance. It might've skipped over this/the time Kun would've done it.

Kun specifically states "if it still operates, I won't have to be stranded on this moon."

That's not a direct contradiction though, so I'll embrace the feat (acknowledging the nexus) for the time being, if only just.

Who cares? That doesn't indirectly contradict it, either. My quote specifically mentions him putting it back to service, so chances are that it doesn't still operate.

Anyway, yes, it was a nexus, like Nihilus, but both were also before their primes. So yeah, basically the same circumstances, but not as impressive on Kun's part.

Still puts to bed the notion of Kun having lackluster TK because of a lack of feats.

For the record, do you actually take Kreia's comment at face value? And put Nihilus below Kressh, Sadow, Muur etc. never mind Ragnos and Kun?

Still below Starkiller' frigate busting - someone Vader was >/= to, before becoming "far more formidable" all-around. 👆

Interesting.

What about Nadd? Where do you rank him?

Kun > Ragnos = Hord > Nadd > Sadow > Kressh.

I thought you said Nadd was equal to Sadow. And where do Pall/Dreypa/Muur etc. fit into this?

Also, Ragnos being the most powerful > Hord tbh.

It's not as if Kun didn't grow exponentially after this as well.

Also, if Kun "made the ship serviceable again", ie. he made it operational again, would that be considered a feat of technometry/mechu-deru?

And the quotes for Ragnos were prior to SWTOR. I'm being generous to Ragnos.

And, hm, that's a good question. I'd assume the Exiles would be in the Sadow/Kressh range.

The Corsair is also considered a cruiser IIRC 😛
