Big admirer of the legendary Bibbly, glad to be compared!

Thanks! I'm glad that came across. That's Lt. Connix's torso from the recent A-Wing set.

Thanks! My plan for Imynusoph is to make a sort of homage to classic Lego Adventure themes, like Johnny Thunder. So I figured I'd get away with using one of those torso's for Clod here, hahaha.

Three troublesome maintenance workers on the Peace and Quiet are totally unaware of the impending BATTLE. Build Pictures: Thanks so much for reading! Hope you enjoyed my middling attempts at editing and this very long (for a Factions post) story. Wouldn't expect anyone to put themselves through that. Appreciate it.

Nice build! I'm personally offended by your "Homesteaders are ruining the environment, Empire is pro-environment" storylines lol. Some propaganda up in here.

Love this! Reminds me of some of the initial design concepts I tried while working on the Peace and Quiet's bridge. I just love those wacky, curved, open air bridges, man.

Such a clean build, I'm blown away. Just filing this one away for inspiration later...

This thing could absolutely stomp some watermelons. Those shots turned out great. Forget the proportions: I can't believe you finished this in the allotted time. Design-wise, it wasn't exactly just another Star Destroyer. Great work, fearless leader!

I love love love the B-Wing as a ship, so I can't help but be a fan. Awesome stuff.

Really cool build, I love the placement/composition, and all the shaping is great. So Star Warsy. Also, love to see BS making a comeback.

Love the whole vibe here. Great work.

*Your entry has earned 6 XP* Day 1 of CFS Intervention in the Pyerce Affair. When the Empire fell, not everyone was happy to see them go. Was Fondor one of them? Well, when the second Death Star exploded into tiny pieces, and people across the galaxy celebrated, Fondor’s security force put down the demonstrations as “disturbances of the peace.” So what do you think? Alright, I’ll be blunt: there are a lot of people on Fondor giddy at the thought of being ruled by the first Imperial Warlord that shows up on their doorstep. Pyerce fits the bill. While Pyerce’s Insurrection schmoozed the Fondor government, foot soldiers moved into the streets to quell any anti-Imperial sentiment. The slums, the old warzones, ruins and industrial areas. Y’know, places where people live. You can bet it was a shock for the locals to see those gleaming helmets again. Different, but not enough that it didn’t bring back bad memories. A couple of meetings behind closed doors and it’ll be like the last few years never happened. Most people on Fondor weren’t exactly happy about it, and they were keen to let the higher-ups know it. They took to the streets with banners and signs, while Stormtroopers played with their triggers and the pro-Imperial citizens tried to block their way. Things were getting testy. That’s where we come in. What’s the CFS doing on Fondor during a political coup? Well, not all of us have the patience to be farmers, as much as we love the spirit of the colonies. We get antsy if we’re not out doing something a little more direct to spread our beliefs. Core belief being displayed today? Tyranny sucks. Coordinating with local resistance, we launched strikes on government and Pyerce targets. Undermining surveillance, breaking up meetings, destroying outposts. “Why so much violence?” you ask, while I look at you like you’ve sprouted the head of a Gundark. “They’re just holding meetings, right?” I hate that we have to fight anyone. I hate that people believe the lies they hear and make the decisions they do. If only they could get a glimpse of colony life, maybe they’d change their minds. But we’re not in the colonies. We’re on a pro-Imperial world, where an Imperial warlord is goose-stepping into a power vacuum. Have you forgotten what the Empire was like? If we let this go too far, it’s not so easy to stop. Evil like the Empire—the kind that seems polite—thrives because people try to treat it with civility. Talk to me about civility when some crisp uniform is pulling you away from your family on suspicion of “rabblerousing”. Well, ordering some stormtrooper pull you away. They’d never actually do it themselves. I might have fleas, after all. We’ve got a small team, all of us from CFS Battle Group Andor, a tiny intelligence unit stationed aboard the market ship CFS Peace and Quiet. The fish-man is in charge: Captain Kelp, scariest Mon Calamari I’ve ever met. Bit crusty around the gills. He’s furious that there even are Pro-Imperial planets, much less that we have to step foot on one. I think he feels like these places are a lost cause, waste of time. Maybe the noise from the protests in the streets could convince him otherwise. Our tech guy is Rorgarr, a Wookie. I have a hunch his fur might be a lighter color than anyone’s ever actually seen—he’s perpetually stained with oil, so we’d never know. The furball and I get along; maybe because we’ve got a common ancestor somewhere. Sometimes he teaches me Shyriiwook (I’m getting there) and we discuss how we’re feeling about things. We see a lot. Feels good to open up, lean on someone you can trust. Makes you feel safer in the field, too. And me? I’m Fenree Kel. I’m not really much more than an extra gun and set of eyes, but leadership knows I’m committed. I’ve spent years throwing my life into the cause, first against the Emperor, now against whatever lowlife tries to repaint his banner. I’d give my life to keep these people free. I know that sounds idealistic—hokey, even—but I’ve stared down enough E-11s that I know it’s true. That used to scare me. Not anymore. Rorgarr helped me process some of that, that lovable sponge. As for the plan, it’s pretty simple: While the protestors clash with the Pro-Imps and Pyerce’s troops, we’re going to take down a listening post that’s tracking protest coordination and receiving communication from the orbital blockade. They won’t see us coming, and once it’s gone, they won’t see anything else coming either. Some wordplay, there. I’ve got a good bite, but my bark is surprisingly sophisticated, too. The tricky part is this: once we’ve loosened Pyerce’s grip planetside, there’s no reason they won’t blast the karf out of Fondor City. That’s where the timing comes in: the CFS Peace and Quiet is supposed to arrive by the end of the day with a few cruisers to engage Pyerce’s ships in orbit. They get here too late and we get bombed. Too early and the ground forces go into high alert, and protestors get shot. It’s a narrow window, but there’s no one I’d rather rely on than Admiral Yima. He’s a weird old guy, but he knows what he’s doing. Alright, focus up. Fighting for freedom here. Blow up the tower. Help the protestors. Fight Pyerce’s guys. Clear the path for the Auxillary fleet. __________________________ Build Pictures and Design Notes Big thanks to Goatman, Pombe, and bigmike for their contributions. Part 2 (Cat C): The CFS Peace and Quiet

No one suspects the GNK. I've obviously already talked about how great this build is in our Discord, but I want to put out some public praise too. Fantastic minifig choice and posing. The purple and blue set the tone well. Great shaping in general. This one is really clean.

Thank you! My inspirations were Iceland and the Guilin region of China. Lah'mu in Rogue One was filmed in Iceland, so glad that comes through. Vaporating a lot more moisture than usual, right? Haha, I recontextualized the moisture vaporator in the story as a regulator for the water levels of the paddy fields, absorbing and dispensing water as the crops require. And I just like the way it looks, lol. Thank you so much. Yeah, I really enjoyed learning SNOT and freeform landscaping for this, it was a good lesson. Thanks for following along! Only a few more chapters for this particular Mato arc.

It's simple but it works so well, the colors and the details are great. Great storytelling! Love seeing justice stand up to Imperials.

This is absolutely fantastic. In particular, the color choices feel inspired. I love the old school checkered pattern.

Great greebling, and I LOVE the Howlrunner. Takes me back to pouring over the Essential Guide to Vehicles. The windscreen is fantastic. Any chance we could get a look at its various parts deconstructed? I might actually want to build one!

Absolutely brilliant. I love the idea. Well done.

Glad to see a Black Sun entry! And what a build! I love the whole vibe of this.

Can we get a detail shot on those control stations, separate from the bridge? Those are awesome. I love what you did with this, polish and detail wise. It's a small build but it doesn't feel incomplete in the least. Exactly the right kind of thing to do with this scale.

Will the winner and runner-up pick from those mini-figs, or are the custom Mandos the only prize option for this episode?

Thank you guys so much! I wouldn't blame anyone for skimming the story for the pictures, it's a long one. Thanks for giving me your time. Thanks for the comments on the builds. The Snubble fighter was an attempt to make a Starfighter equivalent of the AAT, so I was looking at all that Trade Federation design language. It also has sort of an ARC-170 thing going on with the gunner, but that's just very WWII. Goatman encouraged me to greeble up the wings, and I'm glad with how they turned out. Using taps and pipes was fun. Just uploaded build pictures of the micro builds.
