Gears of War 2 is the sequel to the blockbuster video-game Gears of War. The release date is currently unknown although it is speculated that it may be released within 2008-2010. The sequel was announced by Epic Games lead game designer, Cliff Bleszinski, on March 8th, 2007, following the Game Developers Choice Awards ceremony in San Francisco, California. Microsoft has hinted that there will be a lot more to offer from the Gears of War universe to appear on the Xbox 360 exclusively (other than the Games for Windows format) in the upcoming years. All that is currently known about Gears of War 2 is that Marcus Fenix, and the rest of the team, will return to further drive back the Locust horde.
Xim the Despot is a fictional character from the Star Wars Expanded Universe.
In The Star Wars Essential Chronology, Xim's character and origin are described in detail. He possessed advanced technology for his time, including stores of Kiirium (for shielding of space vessels) and Mytag (used in crystalline form as oscillators in old subspace communications and detection equipment). When combined when his large army of massively-armored and armed war droids, Xim was victorious in most battles.
He also built massive vaults for the tribute to be collected by his conquering armies, but the bounty never came to be. At the time of the Star Wars saga portrayed in the films, the vaults are all that remained of his "empire," and served only as a minor curiosity.
The area of space that Xim conquered included what was later deemed the Corporate Sector. It has been speculated that Xim is responsible for the complete lack of native sentient life in that area of space.
Xim's reign came to an end at the Third Battle of Vontor, which he fought against the Hutts; after this battle, his empire collapsed nearly immediately, in revolts and invasions, without Xim or his droids to hold it together. According to his former subject worlds, and the Republic, Xim was killed in the battle, but the Hutts maintain he was captured and made a slave of Kossak the Hutt, leader of the Hutt forces at Vontor.
He was a fearsome conqueror and in his time his vaults contained priceless treasures. However, by the time of the Original Trilogy, the destruction of much of the treasure by his war droids left only the items of lesser value which had depreciated to worthlessness.
Perhaps the most lasting and memorable monuments to Xim's former greatness is his War Droids, massive automatoms of destruction. The legions of his droids contained several distinctive classes of droids, distinguished by their color, from black armor plating of the common soldiers to the much rarer blood-red plating used by certain droids. These droids in question were rumored to be able to manipulate the force by grace of force-sensitive components left over from the glory days of the Rakatan Empire. Needless to say, these droids were the most fearsome of Xim's troops on the battlefield; as such, the rumors might not be completely trustworthy, rather being tales told by terrified soldiers. Force-sensitive or not, any member of the droid legions was an awsome opponent, worthy of combat with the greatest of the galaxy's warriors. After the destruction of the warlord, hundreds of the droids were deactivated and brought to Nal Hutta and placed in city squares as monuments to the Hutts who defeated Xim and as a warning to those who dreampt of overpowering the Hutts. The droids fought one last time during the invasion of Nal Hutta by the Yuzzanh Vong; as a the droids mysteriously reactived as one, slaughtering hundreds of thousands of the Vong's best warriors before finally being brought down under rains of thud bugs, razor bugs, amphistaffs, and plasma spitters.
The Genoharadan assassin guild claimed to have been founded by Xim.
