[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 6890234, member: 92305"] And the hits...just keep on coming!! After the Battle of Hoth, the Rebels used an old magma smelting installation on Golrath as their secret base. They eventually left that base, relocating to some honeycombed caverns below a dormant volcano on the green world of Arbra. I'm reading issue 65 when Thorben (I mention him in the OP) is talking to another Rebel who complains of not getting enough sleep because this rock he picked up on Golrath is flashing lights through it crystalline formations at at night. Now....this was a year and a half real time, with the issues coming out one a month, back in the day. We're talking back in issue 50. This story is one of the last in the omnibus, and the Rebel approach to Golrath Base was shown in the very first story. How cool is that? I love these "linked" stories. Leia has the rock analyzed, and they find out that the rock, native to Golrath, absorbs light. It does more than that. It records light patterns, not unlike storing holographic images on a hard drive. And, when the rock's base temperature cools, the light radiation escapes. That's why the paperweight that the Rebel picked up on Golrath is emitting a pattern--that the Rebels discover is recorded images "seen" by the rock--is a natural sensor/camera system. The Golrath plant was abandoned not because it played out, but because the entire planet was cooling--and entire planet cooling at the core. And...what does this mean? That the very walls of the old Rebel Base recorded EVERYTHING that happened in front of them. Now, how's that for a beautiful, spectacular, very cool space opera idea, huh? I think that kind of stuff is just plain awesome. The Empire can "read" all types of secrets about the Rebels if they discover (or already know about) the natural properties of Golrath's rock. Great idea for a story. [/QUOTE]
