Talk:Malurok

Why not rename the thread as Malurok? It seems better from a fictional standpoint because the actual name of the planet is Malurok.
 * I guess it depends on what name is more commonly used in the comic. If Malurok is used more, then the article should be renamed accordingly. Please sign your comments.-- 18:27, 21 April 2014 (EDT)

Do we actually know it's on Malurok specifically? --Jugus (talk) 00:59, 10 September 2017 (EDT)


 * That's the impression Genesis gives. There is nothing to indicate a change in planet between the successive panels showing his detaining, trial, and transport to the prison via Spirit dropship. The scenery/landscapes are consistent throughout all the panels involving him, including when he is rescued by Regret and given a new purpose.TheEld (talk) 01:04, 10 September 2017 (EDT)TheEld


 * I meant to bring this up. There is no source that states the prison to be on Malurok and I've been working on Ripa's article before Warfleet came out and I seem to recall there a source stating the prison was on an otherwise desolate world. I'll try to look for it. Additionally, I don't think we have proof that the Sixteenth Unggoy Disobedience occurred on Malurok. And I'm not sure if the image of the city is even on Malurok. Krith's revolt is clearly to be shown taking place on the world, as Ripa looks upon his keep after defeating the pirate-prince. -- NightHammer (talk)(contribs) 01:07, 10 September 2017 (EDT)


 * The panel showing the Sixteenth Unggoy Disobedience depicts a binary star system. I think it is pretty obvious that Malurok was noted to be part of such a system in Warfleet for that reason.TheEld (talk) 01:09, 10 September 2017 (EDT)TheEld


 * I wouldn't be too sure about that; there are a lot of binary systems out there. Genesis depicts Ripa's exploits as many and varied, and gives the impression that these are all notable events even on the scale of the Covenant itself rather than just odd jobs he's doing on his homeworld. Also, Decided Heart is only named after the montage of his feats, which I think is a strong case for the preceding events happening somewhere else. The artist just didn't seem to have any other ideas for alien landscapes than a barren, rocky wasteland (that, or it's more of a presentation thing where they focused less on exotic settings and more on the narrative flow). Likewise, I don't think this city is necessarily on Malurok - seeing as Ripa is already wearing his Arbiter armor, he must've paid a visit to High Charity in the interim, so it could really be any Covenant colony. --Jugus (talk) 03:07, 10 September 2017 (EDT)
