MKJoshA Posted March 6, 2020 Narvu Flanch is a monster hunter. He specializes in dragons, but for the right price he will take on any of the galaxies most fearsome beasts. Rumor has it he lost his eye trying to capture a Nexu during the Clone Wars. They also say that he uses techniques that were developed as far back as the Old Republic. And probably the most important rumor is that he has found a secret hyperspace route during one of his adventures. The Factions quietly send some of their best people to find Narvu and see if the rumors are true. Contest Specifics: This is your chance to show you've got what it takes to capture, subdue, or kill one of the galaxy's most powerful beasts. Category A: Show your character collecting information on where to hunt a beast. Maybe you're consulting the knowledge of one of the galaxies famous libraries. Maybe you're following up leads at a local cantina. Or maybe you're already a skilled tracker and are following the trail of a beast. Max size: 20x20 Category B: Show yourself or a hunting party going after one of the galaxies Dragons! You might be hunting a Krayt Dragon of Tatooine, a Kell Dragon, a Zillo Beast of Malastare, an Arkanian Dragon found in the frozen diamond mines of Arkania, a Dathomiri Rock Dragon, an ice dragon of Toloran, an Ithorian dragon, or an Ubese Thorn-Back War Dragon. Show the terrain of the planet you've found the dragon on, the dragon itself, and the process you take to go about subduing one of these great beasts. Max size: unlimited. Category C: Show yourself or a hunting party going after one of the galaxies other monsters. You might be hunting a Bull Rancor on Dathomir, a Nexu of Cholganna, or a Wampa on Hoth. The emphasis of this contest is dragons, so if you're going to go after another beast you need to show your skills! Special emphasis should be on the monster and it must be brick-built. No pre-fab molds for Rancors, Wampas, etc. allowed. Minimum size: 16x16 Category D: Show the resulting trophy from your endeavors. Did you mount the skull on your wall? Did you donate the skeleton to a museum? Did you turn the hide into a throw-rug? Max size: 16x16 The Rules: Entries can be set during any era. You can build any monster from Star Wars on any planet, just make a good story if you're doing something weird like hunting a Wampa on Coruscant (E.g. you could be hunting rancors or crayt dragons anywhere in the galaxy).

Ross Fisher Posted March 6, 2020 Really excited about this one. It actually matches the next stage in my character's journey, so I'm glad it came about when it did. Will we find out just what happened on Rishi? Wait and see! One thing I was interested in, though. Do you know when we're likely to get another holocron challenge? I don't think The Triumvirate has managed to win any yet and, as the most active faction, it seems a shame that we haven't had that chance yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are currently working through the timeline of the next few challenges after this. As of yet we haven't set any dates for holocron challenges. But, can still find them by exploring planets. Once your faction has 25 IP or more on a planet you will be told if it contains a Holocron. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marvelBoy123 Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) Ok, I'll change the title and submit it as a freebuild. Sorry, I think I left it unsubmitted in order to make an update but then forgot to afterwards. It wouldn't have changed episode results anyway so it isn't a big deal. Done! Edited May 7, 2020 by marvelBoy123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
