There are assassin droids for this sort of thing. Floating assassin droids. But are they considered killer or weapon?  

Perhaps he could have used one but it wouldn't explain some of the clues and Ota is pretty remote - an assassin droid floating around would probably attract attention. I guess I don't know whether they would count as a weapon or a killer though - that is an interesting question.

@marvelBoy123 @Ross Fisher Well of course he has a bullet proof alibi... He's not an amateur... ;)

That is true if Farantros was going to do it, I don't think he'd be foolish enough to leave many clues.

After rereading the earlier posts, i'm leaning towards Coomar now. I think it's going to be someone closer to the troops then high command, and i'm not sure Coomar's as innocent as he looks...

Interesting idea, hopefully it shouldn't be too long before I can post the next build and then the finale.

One week left until the final reveal so if you want to guess or change who you think it is there is a little time left!

Hmm, still veering towards Coomar i think - but with the new evidence was he only knocked out the snow with the idol? ... And then the droid reprogrammed and sent in to then deliver the final blow to frame someone else?

Murder, betrayal, intrigue: This narrative has had it all...

Thanks, a few more clues from the last build as a summary:

• The Murderer shot the victim from the platform (see part 1) [No droids just to make things easier]
• The victim was already in the snow at the time they were shot, they were intentionally there, waiting for the murderer to fake their death - the murderer double-crossed them.
• The native idol was carried by the victim - hoping to frame the Snogar for what he thought was his faked death.

Hopefully this summary of clues should make things a bit easier (and remove the Snogar chief as a suspect).

Thats my theory out the window then :)

What if they shot them somewhere else and then just dumped the body here?

Only one set of footprints up to the body that belong to the victim. No speeder could get into the area either, the area is too narrow and all vehicles on the planet are accounted for.  I like the thinking though...

Killed by his own clone.

Here is the conclusion. Congratulations to @n1majneb who correctly guessed the murderer - Coomar. Apologies to @Ross Fisher, the chiss was never meant to be a suspect - hence why he originally lacked a name (and didn't have a build centred around his interrogation). As for @Darth Bjorn's suggestion, while it wasn't the case, I wanted to reflect that Farantros wouldn't have had a second though about doing it by the fact that he killed Coomar without permission. 

Thanks to everyone who has got involved reading through and guessing along and a special thanks to @Tariq j who helped out with the builds and logistics of running the story. I would be really grateful to get some feedback on what people thought of the overall concept - it was a bit more work than normal builds (and there are so many more complications to a murder in the star wars universe than I expected) but I have really enjoyed doing it. Any thoughts about whether you would like to see something similar again would be very much appreciated.

I really admire the scope of all this. Great work all around.

I knew it! Just call me super sleuth!

Really good builds and story across these. The environment through these builds was really uniform, it worked really well.

 I’d be good to see more of these story arc builds

Thanks, glad to know that people like the concept, I'll think about working on another murder mystery for the future - I have a few ideas already...
