[THRAWN] - Stolen Kyber

Recommended Posts

High above the ancient world of Jedha, the Empire is slowly starting to encroach on the rebel stronghold. Strong pockets of Rebel Insurgents still hold a commanding presence over Jedha City. The Empire has decided to slowly work its way into the city through means other than warfare as a direct conflict with Saw Gerrera's forces might have unforeseen circumstances at this early point in the game. The Imperials have been planning their full scale assault with Admiral Thrawn having full control of the strategy for when they decide to invade.

Lieutenant Shrike- Admiral, Your presence is requested on the bridge.

Thrawn: Tell me, what seems to be the issue Lieutenant?

34376595534_b3cda63fd3_t.jpg 
Lieutenant Shrike- I was not told sir. The Emperor requested you personally.

Thrawn: The Emperor?........ Hmmmm so he decided to pay us a visit prior to our invasion. Very well, I am on my way.

Walking through the entrance to the deck, the Admiral walks right into the conversation.

35055210052_b17eec5004_t.jpg
Emperor Palpatine: Director Krennic only a fool would be so unwise to let something like this go unchecked for so long.

34376596174_c17984233f_t.jpg
Krennic: My lord this was just brought to my attention. The Kyber project was under the command of Governor Tarkin.

35220569755_c4bee7c98e_t.jpg 
Darth Vader: Perhaps you should spend your time trying to fix the problem instead of pinning it elsewhere Director.

35055210052_b17eec5004_t.jpg
Emperor Palpatine: Admiral Thrawn, so good of you to join us.

34364124024_6912a7442d_c.jpg 

35055211112_01c1ec7f1b_t.jpg
Thrawn: Reporting as ordered my lord. We are honored by your presence. 

35055210052_b17eec5004_t.jpg
Emperor Palpatine: Admiral, Director Krennic has a problem that we need to solve quickly and quietly. 

35055211112_01c1ec7f1b_t.jpg
Thrawn: What seems to be the problem my lord?

35055210052_b17eec5004_t.jpg
Emperor Palpatine: As someone of your stature is well aware, we've been developing a new weapon to obliterate our enemies across the galaxy. The weapon is powered by Kyber crystals, and that is why we are preparing to take hold of this planet as it maintains a plentiful supply of Kyber. In order to speed up the process of his development, Director Krennic decided he would start using smugglers to remove large portions of Kyber from Jedha City under everyone's noses. A group of rebels intercepted a large shipment of the crystals and have taken them somewhere outside the city.

35055211112_01c1ec7f1b_t.jpg
Thrawn: *Looking at Krennic* And, in what way, do you feel I can be of assistance?

35055210052_b17eec5004_t.jpg
Emperor Palpatine: Your skills have been quite invaluable on the battlefield Admiral, perhaps you can propose a solution to this mess as well?

34376596174_c17984233f_t.jpg
Krennic: *Getting Angry* Emperor, I have everything under control. I just need more time.

35220569755_c4bee7c98e_t.jpg 
Darth Vader: If that were true, we would not be having this meeting director. 

35055211112_01c1ec7f1b_t.jpg
Thrawn: I can solve this problem my lord.

34376596174_c17984233f_t.jpg
Krennic: This is Absurd!

35055211112_01c1ec7f1b_t.jpg
Thrawn: I will need all of your intelligence on this situation brought to my war room immediately Director.

35208244985_f9858524a7_c.jpg

34376596174_c17984233f_t.jpg
Krennic: *Brushing past Thrawn* So be it Admiral.

The Admiral returned to his War Room to review the materials and found some interesting materials. It is likely that the smugglers were in on the grab by the rebels given that A. not one smuggler was killed in the exchange and B. they were paid upfront by the empire and probably turned another profit from the rebels. The intel obtained from the Director indicated that the band of smugglers who were moving the Kyber were all Rodians. Admiral Thrawn dispatched a team of bounty hunters to Jedha to investigate the outskirts of the city to try and find the Kyber. By using bounty hunters, they could blend in and not draw any attention from the rebels that normal imperial troops would. The bounty hunters were transmitting images to the admiral as they trekked along when suddenly he stopped and yelled into the commlink to stop

Greedo, one of the bounty hunters assigned to the job stood outside the building and waited for instruction. 

35055211112_01c1ec7f1b_t.jpg
Thrawn: *Into the Commlink* That's it, the rebels and the kyber are there.

34376597504_b3d5f683ec_t.jpg
Greedo: This can't be the place, this is a watering hole for all of the local scum run by....

35055211112_01c1ec7f1b_t.jpg
Thrawn: RODIANS.

34376597504_b3d5f683ec_t.jpg
Greedo: Yes, Rodi... how did you know that?

35055211112_01c1ec7f1b_t.jpg
Thrawn: Greedo, it appears they left their welcome flag outside. Did they not? 

34376597504_b3d5f683ec_t.jpg
Greedo: Yes rodians leave a string of dishes in an elaborate pattern strung up on cables outside their homes to let others know they are welcome.

35055211112_01c1ec7f1b_t.jpg
Thrawn: Yes, a nice artful gesture. One that will be their end. You know what to do. 

Greedo entered the bar with his pistol drawn.

His fellow bounty hunters Bossk and Dengar scaled the wall with hopes of getting into the bar from the upper level. 

35043185292_78943ab893_c.jpg

The two climbed in shoving aside a band that was playing and instantly found one of their marks, a rodian rebel who was already raising his blaster when they dropped him. 

34364129254_6cf509e624_c.jpg

Greedo made his way through the bar taking out a single rodian as well before engaging a group of rebels trying to flee down a ladder who were already taking fire from Bossk and Dengar above. 

35078371031_87c426a762_c.jpg 

Some of the rebels managed to get into a basement tunnel .

34376599274_321e720f03_t.jpg
Pao: See! I told you those Rodians were no good to us. They were into some kind of trouble and brought bounty hunters here.

35043192352_20d8230e9a_c.jpg

Before they could do anything another bounty hunter, 4-Lom, caught them totally off guard and started blasting away killing two of the rebels while one managed to slip away just before Bossk arrived.

34376598204_2a04c20372_t.jpg 
Bossk: *into the commlink* Admiral Thrawn, we got the Kyber. When do we get our money?

35043191042_cdc78e7737_c.jpg 

35055211112_01c1ec7f1b_t.jpg
Thrawn: When the empire is back in possession of the Kyber. I am dispatching a recovery team now. I'll notify the emperor.

I love this! The use of the GIF is amazing, and I love the fact you've taken pictures in the real world, blends the MOC in really nicely.

Thank you. I've wanted to do that with a star wars MOC for some time now. May do more if I get around to my Tatooine build before the weather changes. I just did something similar with the Gif and in real water for Great Brick War which worked out nice.

Very well done. I think we may already have a winner here.

Thank you, but there are a lot of nice builds here and I'm sure some more talented people are sure to post up. Don't count anyone out yet.

Don't forget to post in the contest thread with a link to here. I didn't see a link to this thread.

I wouldn't mind seeing a full view of the builds. Do you have three builds or are the two locations on the ship connected? (Not that it really matters.)

Thank you for that, probably saved me a headache haha.

The 2 locations on the ship are connected. I may post some overall photos in a spoiler when time permits to upload them.
