So,
In the Sheilds 2 post, folk are discussing this 'until the end of the skirmish thingee' and I'm confused as I was told that Palpies Betrayl on an opposing character ends when he dies, even though it says to the end of the skirmish. What up?

I've just read the glossary which confirms that if Palp is defeated the character returns to the original squad, but I still don't understand how tis works when it says 'end of skirmish'. PLus, Holocron says this:
Q: Let's say my opponent's squad contains both Emperor Palpatine, Sith Lord and Anakin Skywalker, Sith Apprentice. I Dominate the Emperor and use him to attack Anakin. Anakin uses Lightsaber Riposte to attack the Emperor back and rolls a natural 1, which triggers Betrayal. Whose squad does Anakin end up in?
A: At the time Betrayal happens, Emperor Palpatine, Sith Lord is part of your squad (thanks to Dominate), so Anakin joins your squad. In fact, Anakin stays in your squad even though you controlled the Emperor for only a single turn. Of course, now that Anakin is in your squad, he might end up attacking the Emperor again, and if he rolls another natural 1, he'll go back to his original squad!
So... Palp, in this instance, is no longer in your squad but you keep the betrayed character... SOMEONE HELP ME GET THIS!!!

That is a weird interaction. Essentially, for that turn, Palpatine is part of your squad. As per Betrayal, Anakin joins YOUR squad until A: the end of the skirmish or B: Palpatine is defeated. There is no clause that the character with Betrayal has to remain part of your squad to keep Betrayed characters.

That IS weird.... So in that example, after you kill Palpatine, Anakin goes back to his original squad, right?
