Look up Zann Consortium on Wookieepedia. RM is Chagrin Merc Commander. They are a crime syndicate, with not particular racial identification. So basically for this guy, I was looking for an RM that looked "bossy". And the CMC has the added benefit of having been made into a repaint promo, so for those not into customs, there's a possible easy alternate mini already out there.

You might also try looking up Tyber Zann - he was the Boss of the organization to read more about what they did. This would be levels below him, think maybe Black Sun Vigo. The race isn't important, he's just a sub boss.

Cool.

Correct but it's a only a vong ally that gets to move.

oops, guess i read it wrong. Move Along, Move Along

It seems to me that there is "a lot" (a generalisation I know and I'm cool to be called on it) of Old Republic and Old Sith in this and the first V-set. Is this because most people like those factions? I don't play them at all, actually I avoided collecting them mainly because there were only so many minis I could actually afford to collect but also because I don't have a great understanding of, or attraction to, them.

Just wondering.

This is correct. OR, Sith, and Yuuzhan Vong were the least playable factions because they were neglected by WotC. Mandolorians were also fairly weak, but some people braved it playing them. This is why those factions got so much love in Destiny of the Force. They were granted abilities that have put them on the path to becoming competitive factions. There is more to come in RnR. I would love some in-faction shooters so that they don't have to rely on Dash all the time. But yeah, this set, and maybe the next one will most probably have a fair few excellent OR and Sith pieces to bring them up to par.

Then who knows where we go from there. I can see this game evolving to the point where we will not only be pitting the factions against each other, but can also build competitive sub-faction squads like Rebel Commandos or Black Sun or Rogue Squadron and such.

DotF was intentionally minor faction heavy - necessary to catch them up to respectable levels. From R&R on out, we are looking to do a relative balance of pieces for all 10 factions (all 10 were present in DotF too - something WotC managed I believe just once). There isn't a particular number we are looking for, it also has to do with what are the highly desired figures from the community.

Here's how the selection process for R&R went roughly speaking. The three designers made individual lists of about 30 minis each, including anywhere from 10-20 directly from the community lists (the reason for the 10-20, is that depending on how you counted them, a high community want, could also have been a high individual designer want). That gave us roughly 80-90 minis to pare down to 60. We then picked our rough number of uniques and started paring it down. We actually ended up with like 12 Sith towards the end that were all high on the community list, and had to cut a few to keep the balance. But balancing a set is only part of it, you also have to balance for the full game, and with that in mind, specific pieces could be kept or cut based on a rough idea of what they would do for the game as a whole as well. Finally, we also have a small theme to this set, with about 20 or so minis fitting the theme. It's a theme that works with all 10 factions, so that helped, but nonetheless was a consideration in how the pieces for R&R were chosen.

Seeing as how I knew nothing of the Leviathan, I hunted down some info on it and found it appeared in the Jedi Academy: Leviathan comic book mini-series. I downloaded the series on DC++ and wanted to share a couple of different pictures with everyone so they can accurately work on a custom. The clear nodes on it's back contain the souls of those it kills, keeping them from moving on:

Who is the jedi fighting it? It kinda looks like the OR Sith hunter.
