A user on Wikipedia:Talk:Rogue Squadron claims Doran Kruton was in Star Wars: Battlefront. I don't have that game, so I have no idea myself, but that's where Wedgeroks! got the information. Anyone care to back this up or shoot it down? —Silly Dan _(talk) 03:47, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

• My copy of Battlefront has no named characters or even a campaign that I can remember. It's probably a player's custom name.

In BF multiplayer, the bots get designations. CIS droids get numbers, clones get Greek letters and numbers, stormies get letters and numbers, and Rebels get made-up names. "Doran Kruton" is one of those names. It's not fanon, but it's not canon either. I'd delete. -- Havac

• Based on my understanding of game mechanics and canon, the most we can say about Kruton is that he existed some time during the period Battlefront takes place in. We cannot place randomly generated names into specific battles. Especially in a game like Battlefront, where characters are killed multiple times. --AdmiralWesJanson 05:42, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
  • So do we delete, or rewrite this as follows? —Silly Dan _(talk) 15:23, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

RewriteEdit

Doran Kruton was a Rebel pilot who fought during several significant battles of the Galactic Civil War.

Behind the scenesEdit

Doran Kruton is one of the randomly generated names in Star Wars:Battlefront, and as such will appear as a pilot in several battles. What the character does in each battle will vary from player to player.

AppearancesEdit

• Star Wars: Battlefront

• Actually, I'd just delete. Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure it's "Doran Krotan" in the game. Either way, it's not a randomly generated name -- it will appear on every level in both Battlefront and Battlesfront II, fighting in every battle (space and ground). Considering that not only did the Rebels canonically lose every BFII battle, making Doran's survival (and by extension, the survival of every single other bot name, all of which remain constant) of all of them questionable, but his presence at each and every one doesn't even make sense in terms of space and time. -- Havac
  • Maybe we should make this a redirect to a list of those Battlefront names? —Silly Dan _(talk) 20:20, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Maybe, but what should you name it? I thought articles needed IU names. Charlii 21:09, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
      • Not if its an entirely OOU article, as List of computer controlled characters in (game)" or something like that would be. —Silly Dan _(talk) 21:18, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
        • Realistically, what useful purpose would such a list serve?
          • It would keep people from trying to write separate articles on each name as though it represented a real character who we actually knew something about. That's about it, really. —Silly Dan _(talk) 01:28, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
            • I think this is the best idea. jSarek 01:29, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
              • I agree that the best solution is probably a list of Battlefront and Battlefront II names. I would even guess that randomly generated name shows up for more than just pilots. Why not redirects from any of these BF names to that list. That way, we have a record of those characters, but they're not mixing in with the "real" characters and confusing things.--JMM 13:11, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Incidentally, I've replayed a level and can confirm that it is indeed spelled "Krotan". -- Havac

Missing Imperials Edit

This article is missing the Imperial section. Like SF O21, TF 997, KL 987, JM 221, WI 800, etc. I might add it later, but I don't really have the time. Can someone make sure that it gets on there? Cyfiero II 01:42, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
