Okay, thanks. That's what I was going off as well. I think between two of them they called in an additional 35,000, or close to that?
 
According to Reverance, there's a 'shadowlands'? I was right next to the tree, then hauled back up the bridge. I'm okay with the apparent dropping of mines, I can work around that. But I never heard of any shadowlands, and even then, like I said, I was very close to the tree. [member="Sochi Ru"]

The Shadowlands is the groundlevel beneath everything.
What Kiyron said. It is the area below the stronghold.

Description: Yugwraaargh is a heavily fortified stronghold in the forest of Kashyyyk. A couple of kilometers above the ground it is difficult to climb to from the Shadowlands yet still covered well enough by the overbrush to make bombardment impossible(Without multiple drop runs) it naturally becomes a position that lends itself to being more of a two dimensional battlefield.
 
I'm still baffled how he dropped mines into the stronghold that is defended from the inside without the slightest of detection. Mines aren't exactly invisible, and whoever designed a stronghold without an enclosed roof failed their galactic engineering courses. A child's treefort has a roof on it, why does this military stronghold not?

Edit: I revised my post because it seemed a bit confusing to what I am getting at.

"hidden in a shell-like explosive container" to me, means that the mines first have to contact a solid mass and detonate in some fashion, meaning, that if a roof were in fact present, the mines would explode there, causing the black holes at that location, making them, for the most part, ineffective within the base. However, because for some reason the stronghold had no roof, they were simply dropped in.

Is this not correct? Because that is how I am interpreting the wookiepedia page.

Just face it. It's Vong tech. They probably have a creature that also causes auto-wins.

All sarcasm aside, I don't see anything in the singularity mine article or the dovin basal article that indicates they can pass through physical objects. 'Black holes' do not work that way.

Star by Star is the major source for them. Just google 'Star by Star pdf' - there's one in the top couple of search results, fully searchable. You can Ctrl+F 'singularity mine' and spend some time with the source material to get a better idea of how the mines look and behave before, during, and after activation.

Thanks for the info! Will help for future reference. Unfortunately I don't spend much time reading the SW books so a lot of this EU tech is lost on me unless someone points me to it. I've followed the movies, shows, and a small number (maybe one or two) books and other reference materials.

The general rule of thumb I picked up from about a year judging the Factory was 'if something's unclear on Wookieepedia, go to the bottom of the page, find the primary sources, google their name plus PDF, and you can pretty much always find what canon actually has on the subject.' Also, incidentally, a great way to find balanced but unexpected precedents worth using, things that tackle common situations or problems from odd angles -- and probably the best way to get interesting stuff through the Factory. Judges love it when you do actual research.
