  1. After crash landing on Corellia, and being unsure of what I would do now, I went walking aimlessly through the streets of Coronet City. As fate would have it, I ran across a local security team just leaving from a meeting with a new client. After having a short conversation with the leader of the group (who, as it turned out, was the Director of the company), I decided I might as well stick around Corellia for a while and pledged my service to the group, finding out later it was none other than Corellian Security, or CorSec for short.

    [M13 - Devaron - CS] Life Hike

    *Your entry has earned 6 XP* After a long day of training, these four members of The Triumvirate like to spend the early evening taking a relaxing hike through the jungles of Devaron. Dibner, the bald headed one, likes to think of himself as the leader of the group. He says the stick designates the leader, and no one else can touch the stick. His friends have even stated that when one of them tried to grab the stick, Dibner said “touch it and you’ll learn how my stick is much denser than bacon,” whatever that’s supposed to mean.
  3. *Your entry has earned 14 XP* I'm pleased to finally post my first freebuild! This is the first chapter in my sig-figs story. * * Hello, I’m Stew (really Stuart but I go by Stew (weird spelling I know)), and I am working for CorSec. I haven’t always been working here, obviously, but was formally a Stormtrooper in the Galactic Empire…. I was born and raised on Coruscant, that is, until my parents died. It was another routine business trip to some other planet, I don’t know which one because I never paid attention to those kinds of things, and something had gone wrong with the shuttle’s engines, then down they went, right into a mountain. That was 10 years ago now. I was the only living relative, so I got the entirety of the inheritance. Nothing too big, but enough to keep the apartment in the upper levels of Coruscant and to keep a nice savings account in the bank. I decided to deposit all of the money I didn’t use into the Imperial Galactic Bank (there was a local branch near my apartment). Because of the size of the inheritance, there was no need for me to get a job, so I just sat around all day playing holo-games. I also enjoyed watching the news, so HoloNet News was almost always on. Coruscant: The city on which the sun never sets. 1 ABY “Hello and welcome to the program. This is your anchorman, Nicolas Brummelstein. To start off: the quote of the day; ‘Those who do not serve my ends, no matter how powerful they are, will be eliminated.’ –Emperor Palpatine. Now to the news. Following a lengthy investigation, with support from Imperial Officials, we can now confirm that the actual cause for the Jedha disaster, the destruction of the Imperial Archives on Scarif, and the destruction of Alderaan was indeed the Death Star, superweapon of the Empire. We can also confirm that this superweapon is indeed the object that was destroyed in the Battle of Yavin, where many gave their lives in service of the Empire. It was destroyed by the rebellious militant group calling themselves the ‘Alliance to Restore the Republic.’ They should really be called the ‘Alliance to Create Anarchy in the Galaxy.’ Up next: an editorial entitled ‘The State of the Empire: One Year After the Dissolution of the Imperial Senate.’ How is the Empire functioning without the Senate? Did the Senate even have any power in the first place? This and more after the break.” HoloNet News: Your Source for the Truth. Brought to you and approved by the Imperial Ministry of Information. Sponsored by— “Those rebel scum. Disrupting the peace and order of the Empire, and for what? Absolute anarchy and chaos? Not in MY galaxy. Sure, I don’t agree with everything the Empire’s done, blowing up an entire planet isn’t necessarily a good thing—at all—but, it is a stable government that has laws and keeps order in the galaxy. And for me, I haven’t been affected by any tyranny or whatnot, I’ve just been living my life, uninterrupted for as long as I can remember.” (Patriotic Music) “The Empire; peacekeeper of the galaxy, protector of citizens, caretaker of your families. All this and more, and YOU could be a part of it. Join the Empire today and help ensure that peace and prosperity continues for years to come. Enlist today at your local recruitment office. (Now operating 10,000 locations planet-wide). Check your Imperial Citizens’ handbook for locations near you.” Furnished by the Imperial Military. “That’s it! That’s what I’ll do! I can’t do anything about those rebels just sitting at home. I will enlist in the Imperial Military so I can do my part to keep the galaxy safe.” “Take a seat citizen, we’ll be right with you.” “Alright citizen, what is your need.” “Hello Lieutenant……Kruddy. I wish to enlist with the Imperial Military to do my part for the gala—” “Yeah yeah, whatever. Sign here and make your way up the repulsorlift to the roof. There you’ll find a transport taking new recruits to the Imperial Military Academy on Corulag.” “Thank you kindly sir!”

    [K9 - Coruscant - CS] And So it Begins

    I posted WIP images on the Factions Discord server many months ago. You must've seen it there?

    [Factions Ep. 6 - Cat B][S3 - Bonadan - CS] Pyerce Be Gone!

    I'm not very pleased with the photo either. If I was more skilled with photo editing I'd have made it better. Thank you!
  6. *Your entry has earned 7 XP* Part 2: After Pyerce’s forces spotted my fleet, we immediately engaged in battle. While I lost a Corellian Corvette, we still made quick work of most of Pyerce’s forces. The Star Destroyer put up a fight, but thanks to our Y-Wings and the Tranquility’s firepower, that too went down. Thanks to Mick’s and my actions, Mick was able to get a task force down to the planet’s surface and liberate Bonadan from Pyerce’s attempt at an empire.
  7. *Your entry has earned 6 XP* Part 1: Corsec HQ had intercepted a distress signal from Bonadan, saying that some rogue Imperial Moff had formed a blockade around the planet with a Star Destroyer and some smaller frigates. Immediately, Corsec sent word to the New Republic, who had already received the distress call as well. The New Republic entrusted into Corsec’s command some star cruisers to engage Moff Pyerce on Bonadan. Of these, the New Republic also sent their prized flagship, the Dawn of Tranquility, a new model from the Mon Calamari ship builders, the MC-85. Corsec high command decided to send several small fleets to take on Pyerce’s forces, one being led by Mick, and another by myself (how they saw me fit to lead a force I don’t know). As it happened to turn out, the Dawn of Tranquility got put under my command. I jumped out hyperspace around noon, local time. Immediately the battle had begun…

    [Q10 - Yitabo - CFS] Credit Failure

    *Your entry has earned 2 XP* In an effort to make some credits (it came to my realization that I’m broke, a whole other story), I heard from some scrapper that Yitabo was some sort of “wealthy” world. I figured I could go there, perform some odd jobs and make enough credits to move on somewhere else, while I decide the direction I am going to go. As my luck would have it, it turns out that scrapper left out a very important piece of information: Yitabo is an agriworld; farms as far as the eye can see (even with macro binoculars), and I happened upon probably the smallest most run-down farm on the entire planet. To add to it, I think I caught him in the preparation stage of his planting, that looks like a lot of weeds, not food. Sigh. I hope now that this fella can help direct me to somewhere I can actually make some credits……
  9. *Your entry has earned 6 XP* Coruscant: Jedi Archives IMG_6678 Upon doing research in the fourth hall of the archives on the Jakobeast, I’ve now realized that I have made a grave and terrible mistake. IMG_6677 IMG_6680 In an effort to make some quick credits, I ran across this “big game” hunter who was too old now to do the hunting himself. In exchange for a considerable amount of credits, all I had to do was track down the beast, kill it, and bring the head back to him. Easy. He told me I could find information on it and its possible whereabouts in the fourth hall of the Jedi Archives on Coruscant (which contained information on all known fauna in the galaxy), now abandoned since the fall of the Empire. Now that I’ve researched the beast, I’ve found out that there are two things wrong. One, it is found on ice worlds in the outer rim, which is great because I love cold (ehh no). And two, the thing is FORCE SENSITIVE. A whole herd of them could level an entire forest using a “force push” ability. I hope there will be something left of me, and my ship, to collect the credits….

    LEGO Star Wars 2020 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!

    Anyone notice LEGO gave these troopers feet printing?
  11. *Your entry has earned 1 XP (x2 for limited challenge)* : "The Second Battle of Jabiim is looking to be a swift victory for the Empire. Luke Skywalker is said to be somewhere on the planet, but none of us have made contact so far." : "Presently, we've lost contact with the main force, and we have a member of the squad who was injured in our last encounter with rebel forces. They were easily beaten due to our superior technology. Our tech guy is working on getting communications up, but it could be awhile before we can make contact with the others."
  12. *Your entry has earned 1 XP* After the fall of the Empire, the Gotal were able to return to their home world, the moon Antar IV. Officials representing the New Republic have met up with one such individual, hearing his story. IMG_5179 Unnamed Gotal: “When the Confederacy took over our world during the Clone War (I was a young adult at the time), there was a mass of my people who left, becoming refugees on other systems. I was among those people and ended up on Kuat and working at the shipyards. After the Empire was created, my people who remained on Antar were massacred by the Empire because the planet had been under CIS control. That left a bitter taste in the mouths of those who had left, including myself. However, I feared being imprisoned and so did nothing and continued to work. When the news reached me that the Empire was no more and the New Republic had come to power, I finally decided I would return home.” IMG_5180 IMG_5183 https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Gotal

    Factions - Introduction, Discussion, and Core Rules

    @MKJoshA I had a suggestion for the Planet IP values spreadsheet, for the layout. Whenever I scroll down I always forget which faction was in which column. There is a way to "freeze" the top row so when you scroll, the row stays put while the rest of the sheet doesn't. It is called Freeze in Google Sheets.

    Factions - Introduction, Discussion, and Core Rules

    Would it be allowed to have some kind of collaborative build with another person, if you were able to coordinate with that person?
  15. I wrote TLG about this issue a while back. They told me that due to their license with Lucasfilm, the blasters can only be sold in sets and not individually.
  16. Looks good! I like what you did with those top hats. When I first was looking I was thinking, "I wonder what those parts are that he used" for the black units(?) on the walls.

    [M18 – Eriadu – CFS] Consequences of the Clone War

    Looks good. I like the smoke.
  18. *Your entry has earned 4XP* It was quite difficult to find a place to live in Coronet City, so landing this space was kind of a big deal, even as run down as it is. Many things are reused from a TIE that he crashed when he first came to Corellia, which is a whole other story.

    Finch Posting

    Hello! I recently received a Finch Dallow head and helmet after contacting LEGO. I got it about a week ago. Then, this week, I received a second one. It seems LEGO messed up and sent me two. If anyone is in the US and would like the head & helmet, send me a PM. Edit: Someone has snatched it up.

    [Factions Ep. 1] Stew's Living Space

    Thank you. I was going for a kind of run down area, the slums if you will. I think I might try the browns for rust though. Colored sheets too. About the flowers.. I don't know what they are either Maybe some kind of weird alien plants or something like a succulent.

    Building Technique Input

    Hello! I am building a window and am trying to put antistuds together, as seen in the picture. I cannot figure out how to keep the two separate pieces together. Any help would be appreciated! IMG_3088 by IMG_3085 by IMG_3086 by IMG_3087 by

    Building Technique Input

    Thank you @TimeCruiser and @rodiziorobs for your suggestions. In trying them out I do get a bit of bowing as the space between the studs is slightly more than a 1x2 can cover, however it is very slight and once placed into the wall, I don't think it would look too bad.
