It also occured to me that the age mentioned in the books might refer to her body's age? (Cloning does mess this up a bit)

The wiki article on Sleeper drones illustrates well that in practice, the wiki narrators are not omnipresent. They specify the fate of the Sleeper race as 'unknown' but they would know if they where everywhere.

Why are you reading what JR (Publius Valerius) wrote instead of Abraxas, the man himself, in the bottom of the discussion page?Straight

Btw. yes, cloning *might* explain it, but no official CCP lore says anything about that being a possibility (neither Tony or Abaraxas) so it will just be us making up a story.

the book, mentions that the news of Jamyl's birth was widely reported, the other Heir families even sent congratulations. It's kind of hard to announce in YC88 "rejoice at the birth of Jamyl Sarum", then in YC113 say "Empress Jamyl is 102"

there are parts of the book that take place before she was cloned.

Just the facts.

So instead of theorising that he ment it in a way that made sense, you're theorising that he ment it in a way that didn't make sense. Both are 'made up stories' as you put it. One makes up a story without knowing for sure that he had a plan behind obvious differences of what is written where. The other makes up a story that he thumbled his writings implying incompetence without knowing for sure.

IF there is a legitimate reason for the difference, the ****** part for this discussion would be that we're probably not yet ment to be privy to the knowlage of how it is suppost to make sense in the end. But, if it was a mistake, I'd think that a CCP employee would have come out with it at this point. Right?

edit: Hmm, didn't think that word would be censored, it's not that bad a word in my book.

Dunno.

I the meantime we can read about how the final fate of the Takmahl, in the eyes of the omniscient narrator, remains unknown while also having the same narrator tells us what their final fate were in another article.

We can also read a bit of Templar One and wonder how exactly that Federation task force managed to put up a warp inhibitor field in low security space and why they could not just use normal warp scrambler modules like everybody else do?*




*:Not saying the book is bad in general; I find the story build up here rather good.
