Commerce raiding in a Galaxy Far Far away

Maritime History with Chris Sams (live and unplugged) ·

2025/06/25

This week I turn to some of my favourite Star Wars books and my favourite Imperial Admiral from Kevin J. Anderson’s Jedi Academy trilogy and compare her campaign against the New Republic to the campaign of von Spee’s Ostasiengeschwader in 1914. Ok, I know this may sound like a stetch but both Admirals are faced with a similar dilemma of action and situations but meet them in completely different ways. Should Daala have been more like von Spee or vice versa?This may not be an episode for everyone but
