Commander Strok

Race: Trandoshan

Homeworld: Trandosha

While many think Trandoshan's a bitter and often heartless race, Strok is just that. during his youth he was not entertained with the general harassment of Wookies like his commonfolk, rather he focus his resentment on The Empire. At age 20 Strok had became commander of the 32nd's Scouting division, until there early demise in 3 ABY resulting in the amputation of his left arm and leg. Since his injuries he has overseen many scouting and intelligence operations under the New Republic, but he still yearns to return too the battlefield where he can fully utilize his skills.

Great to have you on board!

Welcome, I look forward to seeing Strok's missions

Hello everyone,

Yperio_Bricks sacrificed his Flickr-account to invite me here (thank you), so I couldn't do anything else but follow ;-)

I'm not sure I fully understood all the games' rules but I try to follow the procedures from the primary page.

So, here I present my primary character I would like to start some builds around:

Name: Ward Len'ya

Species: Bothan

Age: ~ 60 std. years

Occupation: Intelligence and Recon Officer, information broker

Affiliation: Bothan Spynet, New Republic

 

Character Background: Bothans see a potential enemy in each and everyone. The concept of trust and friendship beyond their own clan is suspicious to them. They are passionate about finding weaknesses and flaws in their counterpart and willing to expose and take advantage of them.

Hailing from Bothawui, Ward Len'ya is no different. During the clone wars, he remained neutral and held contact to both Republic and Separatists. He started to collect and sell valuable information and after the Empire's rise, he became a successful intelligence broker. He remained independent and became a member of the Spynet, overseeing agents and moving assets across the galaxy.

The destruction of Alderaan changed his position dramatically. Realizing the Empire lost all sense for rules, he started to support the cause of the rebellion. As part of the spynet, he forwarded secrets to the alliance and became one of the most reliable sources of intelligence, notably for Crix Madines rebel cell. In 3 ABY he actively joined forces with a group of rebel agents on Sarka and extracted Imperial fleet movement data from an ISB hypercomm relay.

In the later course of events he worked to uncover an Imperial double agent in Madines cell, who caused al lot of turmoil. He successfully revealed the mole, but has been taken hostage in the agents' attempt to retreat. Len'ya got wounded in the succeeding shootout and died.

At least that's what the official reports tell. Len'ya has been revived in secret, although multiple of his organs had to be replaced. It took him a long time to recover but now he's back and willing to make the New Republic a success story in these uncertain times...

Personality: Len'ya is perceived as arrogant and ruthless by his rebel comrades. While they follow their hearts, it is said Len'ya is lacking one. (Ironically, he now got an artificial heart). Even though he often offends sensibilities, he tries to get the best results for the cause. He has no close friends, but has a lot of respect for his combatants, even if he doesn't show. The Bothan has never been a fighter but he is a mastermind and has still sharp senses. He is definitely not to be underestimated...

Trivia: Len'ya was a reocurring NPC on an "pen&paper RPG" I do GM for.

About me: I'm a passionate Star Wars "pen&paper-RPG" game master and inventing exciting stories in the galaxy far away is what I do for my friends and players on nearly weekly basis. Lately I got (back) into building Lego Star Wars - one could say the origin of all my storytelling. In fact, I'm going full circle, as some of the most "iconic" characters from my pen&paper RPG eventually first came to life as Lego Star Wars characters, back there in my childhood.

The premise of Mysteries sounds interesting. I assume the challenge here will be much different, as in pen&paper the world building takes place in the players' imagination, following the GMs words. With Lego, visualization is key. I'll give it a try.

Great to have you aboard! Great character and very intersting story! Looking forward to learn more about Ward Len'ya and his future adventures.

@MKJoshA will add you to the Light Sides's sub-forum.

@Sentinel_Brix Glad to have you on board! Don't worry too much about getting the game rules right away. The main point is building. We can help you as you come to each step. You should be able to see the Light Side forum now.

Hello there,

I would love to join the light side.

I came back to the Lego hobby recently when my kids started to play with them. I rebuild all my old sets, mainly space sets from 90 to 95.  With the new sets from my kids I discovered all these new pieces, colours and techniques. 
My wife also got back into Lego with the modular buildings and botanical collection.

I started to make some mocs for my space sets, did a nice base for Blacktron 2 last year. 
As a next build I wanted to do more terrain building, so as a casual star wars fan this was the perfect theme. There are so many different planets, sets, characters to give inspiration. As well as a lot of great mocs to learn from.

After buying my first few battle packs, some small sets and a lot of parts I finished my first SW moc last week. I will post it as my first entry soon.

The first prototypes for a new moc are currently in the works, so a next moc will follow.

looking forward to participate in this game, share my mocs and learn from all you builders!

greetings

Laurent

Yes, thanks!

I can not see the “current map control”. Is it just me or should it be visible? Could you share which squares are controlled by the light side if any? I downloaded the detailed map, so I can start looking at which planets I can build mocs for.

I think you're trying to look at the master sheet, which is frozen for most people 

Try this sheet instead, it's on the first post.

I don't know why I haven't uploaded the full map with the colored squares. I'll get on that soon. But for now the sheet should work for you and it always has live data.
