This entry is a prequel to: 
 
The Pantoran Chairman has sent out a message to the galaxy: Mercenaries interested in an excursion to Haruun Kal are to gather on Nar Shaddaa at a Black Sun safe house, prior to a rendezvous to the Ring of Kafrene to explore and trade for precious items they will need to convince a local guide on Haruun Kal to show them to the temple they seek.

Recruits have already begun arriving, some more seasoned than others, but all eager to strike gold.

Through the window, the female Zabrak owner of the house can be seen beginning to reconsider her decision to host such an assortment of … creatures.

If the house were hosting more cultured individuals, a keen eye may notice the face of the former empire's main enforcer in the architecture of the building.

The Chairman's 2 toughest secret service officers accompanied him on his journey and are guarding the entry.
“Am I at the right house?”
“Probably not.”

“Standing on a roof without getting shot — this really is a safe house!”

The uninvited Mon Calamari finds his way into the house for a drink in the back corner...perhaps it is not as safe as Black Sun advertised!

Great design, modern Star Wars house builds are not very common and you’ve done a great job incorporating features to give it a house feel yet still have the Star-Warsiness which is very prominent. I like the writing on the side of the house, very cleverly done

Thank you! I tried to add as much detail as I could to each wall while keeping things relatively clean, so I’m glad the detail came through!

Thanks! This is my first “building” build I’ve done, so I wanted to go unique with the concept to make up for my unpolished skills so far.

You've got some awesome architectural styles going on here! Love the trees coming out of the build, your brick-built letters, and the white pattern on the outside walls. A couple critiques, your first photo does not show off your build at it's finest. I think a shot lower to the ground and looking up more would give a better first impression. Your photos are also a little over exposed. I'd try experimenting with your camera settings and using different or more lighting.

Thanks for the praise and the criticism. As I worked on each wall in an iterative process, each one became my favorite and then least favorite and then fav again until it was hard to tell what the actual best angle of the thing was haha. I will take a pic at your suggested angle and try to get the lighting right. I am a photo novice still for sure (and still a fairly new builder at that). I just use an iPhone and put my subject on a black poster board in my back yard when I notice enough clouds to prevent shadows. I will definitely be continuously trying to improve my pics and will invest in a light box at some point soon.

Well if that is unpolished I most certainly look forward to seeing the products of your polished skills

Love the aurebesh writing on that wall! I think you did a great job combining really modern architectural styles with that classic star wars aesthetic. Great build!

This is still just great. The only C&C I've got is that the black ladder looks out of place, but besides that, wonderful design.

Thanks Darth. The wall with the writing was directly inspired by your yellow bounty hunters build actually. I really liked the thin, sideways plates look and the rapid color shifts it allowed.

I'm totally not using my comments on builds to keep track of what's been scored or not... Totally not doing that. Just wanted to say again that I'm glad you're building for Factions!

Great build! Each wall is different but very SW-ish. The tree effect is a fantastic detail. The build is also quite clean overall and the minifigs are very nice, specially that tusken rider :pir-sweet:!
