Deliberation

Sechari's Top 5

1. Disintegrate → Unassembled Components
2. Legacy-bound unassembled components
3. Higher Tier of craftable augments.
4. Collaboration with Timothy Zahn on A Traitor Among the Chiss
5. Nahut (Gods from the Machine)

Sechari's Meh:

1. Victory states too long.

3. Flashpoints as the main vehicle for storytelling.
