Ok but seriously does Traviss have to pair everyone? This is just excessive at this point.
Specially since apart from Darman and Etain she doesn’t explore the relationships. She just tells us that they’re in love and that’s it.

Commission by the wonderful @pinkiemme !!!
I had to see more Captain Maze and Arligan Zey in the world. Here they are safe and sound on Mandalore.
Putting these two in Mandalorian armor was totally self indulgent and I'm SO HAPPY with how this turned out!! Thank you, Pinkiemme!
Reading Imperial Commandos and I miss Etain
VAU'S reluctance to talk about Sev in ImpComm:
I think it's odd how defensive Vau was when Gilamar asked him if he'd made any progress locating Sev. He gave a short non-answer and then changed the subject, saying that finding Niner and Darman was "first things first" since He, Kal, and the Nulls already knew their location.
It's obvious to me that Vau cared alot about Delta Squad, especially Sev perhaps. Maybe it was a defense mechanism. Maybe he needed to continue to uphold his stone-cold persona, for his own sake as well as what he thought was theirs. But it still seems odd that he wouldn't go into it in more detail, especially because Gilamar really wanted Vau to know they wanted to prioritize Sev's rescue. I got the feeling that Vau knew a lot more than what he was saying, as is usual for him I suppose. He must have had reasons for wanting to wait. Or maybe he didn't want Delta to end up at Kyrimorut. The rest of Delta and presumably others of his former squads were with the 501st. If I were Vau, I wouldn't want my trainees to end up at Kyrimorut.
Maybe he thought Sev would be more fulfilled and useful on Kashyyyk and didn't want to risk a blowout argument with Kal about it. Enacca was looking for Sev, after all.
Vau is the best at what he does. I would actually be very surprised if he hadn't already located Sev and was withholding the information.
The other, much more morbid possibility is that Vau really can't find Sev, or has found him and something horrible has happened to him, and he won't talk about it. I think this option is far less likely, considering everything we know about what KT might have been planning for Sev.
Another great thing about his buy’ce, the distinctive Mandalorian helmet, was that the visor could not only give aging eyes a sharp view in infrared, low light, and UV, with a range of two kilometers, but also enlarge the infuriatingly small print on food packaging.

Rescue was an instinct, a moment's unconscious reflex. Skirata hadn't even had to think about stepping between Orun Wa and the young Nulls to save them. It was simply something that demanded doing. He didn't regret a second of it; it never occurred to him that it might risk his own life, or cause endless ripples of trouble down the years, and even if he had he wouldn't have cared. It just didn't matter...It was the way of the galaxy, the best part of it, that beings cared so much for others that they did dangerous things so that someone else could live.
Star Wars: Imperial Commando 501st, by Karen Traviss
Post-Order 66 series of events where Maze does increasingly impressive and terrifying things and shows Zey first hand what an Advanced Recon Commando can do.
“You can rig an entire building to explode with its own stored ordnance from orbit?”
Maze without looking up from his datapad:
That is enough Traviss! Etain died saving a clone that was going to kill her if he had the chance. Mind you she defended him from a kid that was literally going to be killed by the clones for just being a Jedi.
You don’t know what a true Jedi is. All these Jedi you criticize have all being heroes who saved people. Mace? Shatterpoint has him save children that wanted to kill him and comforting them. Yoda? He tells Scout that it doesn’t matter that she is weak in the Force because every Jedi every life is precious.
Your Jedi are the cowards because a Jedi that prefers to sit out the fight against evil is no better than the Jedi you criticize for taking a stance. Because you know who fought in a war and defended the innocent?
