    The most feared Pirates in this sector are called Black Angels and are a gang of females, mostly former soldiers, sailors and bounty hunters...

    41c was finally attacked and overrun by galactic Pirates. All of the crew members died, were captured or sold to traveling alien armadas for lunch or entertainment.

    Here are some of the tragic fates :

    The Pirates are using 41c to hide their enourmos treasure of Goldtitanium:

    ... and to party in between the raids:

    They ripped of the old landing pad and installed an 200 mt Fusion Cannon "Singing Elfriede" from an old Imperial Dreadnought. They are sending fake distress signals and if a spaceship responds to, it will be shoot down...

    For close combat, a Friz Gun was put on the jet coaster:

    Space Station 41c. An older modell if the standard space station, but still in good shape.

    It was a slow solar day at 41c. Nothing seems to disturb the daily routines.

    The Fusion reactor ran smoothly, radiation levels like usual.

    Nobody expected the terror of violence, unlawfullness and unlimited creativity that would hit 41c in the next rotation - be prepared!

    Hello!

    I'm fine with entering a piratefied space station as Cat C, though I think if you take 21322 as an example, a wrecked spacestation would also be applicable for Cat B. So its ok to post the Space Station before the arrival of the pirates as WIP?

    " The original set must be recognizable, with key features, shapes or functionnalities for example" In my opinion this puts a too strong restriction on the creativity. Does that include a piece count?  Most islands and outposts in the classic series have just 100-300 parts... I interpreted Cat B to built a MOC as to take the idea óf a classic pirate set (a pirate hideout, a pirate or imperial battleship, etc.) and transfer it into a space theme. Taking 10210 for example:
     

    1. Key features: A propulsion system (sails) - ok, Solar sails, I got it. 4-8 Cannons - no problem. A bridge, a lookout, a kitchen, Captains Room  - also no problem
    2. Shape: A spaceship can't have the shape of a sail ship if, by any means this moc should make sense at all. Big problem.
    3. Functionnality: Firing Cannons, Anchor whinch, crane, Decks can be opened. Somehow solveable.

    So if I fullfill 1) and 3) but fail at 2) - would this be within the rules?

    Gentlemen,

    my plan is to build a modern version of a ground space station like 6970 and then to "piratify" it (think of 6253).  So I just finished the space station - showing a standard space station, peaceful and stylish. They just don't know what will happen ...

    My question - can I post this moc as

    a) seperate MOC with its own topic in the space forum outside this competition
    b) start a [SPC-Cat B] - Topic as a WIP Moc - but with expected numerous modifications after the pirates arrived
    c) Don't show it at all....

    It would make more sense if the wings could fold the full 90 degrees vertically in Flight Deck mode (assuming this position is intended for easier crowded staging on a flight deck) but either way, I love this MOC!  Great photos, as well - thanks for posting this!

    Thx a lot. You are right, 90 degrees would be better - but the changes in construction for that detail would be enormous, so I skipped it... ;-)

    As ordered, J9 and her crew went to Terminus to build a new fleet, train pilots and develop new weapons and tactics. Azure Squadron main task at thsi time ist the development and specification of a new fighter class, experiencing that the fleet of T65 X-Wing is aging, the costs of an T70 are enormous and in general the tactical landscape has changed: Much more deep space patrol and recon is need - with the abilitiy to detect enemies very early, engage bigger starships with a heavy blow and the to escape safely.

    J9 took some of their friends from CorSec with her as she signed in at the New Repbulic Starfleet: Pilot Lieutenant Feli Ardana, a stepbrother of Iolo Ardana, Chief Mechanic Myles Calamy and Master Engineer Sally Ride.

    The EVIL GALACTIC EMPIRE has fallen. However, sinister agents are already at work
to undermine the fragile peace. Piracy and Fragments of the Dreeded Imperial Fleet are threatening our trade routes.

The High Command of the New Republic is struggling to gather forces to secure the main trade routes. All Planets and Species are needed to fight for our freedom and wealth -all of us, no matter if you are tired of the battles against the Imperium, the Faction Wars or even the Clone Wars. 

We were tasked to build a fighting fleet, travel to Terminus and the Hydian Way and the Corellian Trade Spine. Though I am not your Commander, I would suggest that in remberance of the glorious Blue Squadron of the Rebellion we mark our ships also with a blue colour scheme of your choice.

Through friends of mine on Corellia I was able to purchase a heavy fighter/bomber which was planned to replace the BTL-B. To balance our fleet I would like to know which ships you try to get in service?  And lemme know if you need help for parts - Ex-smuggler always have very good contacts..

Like Uncle Han would say: May the force be with us. If you believe in these things...

    Many thanks for your nice comments, gentlemen.

    Yes, I would have loved to build more things around this cannon: A small fortification, some real pulleys, a crippled wall, some palm trees - but in the end time was running out and I had to focus on the "Le Scorpion". I think I will keep the cannon after the contest and build a little scenario around it  - just for fun..

    Damn. The flag upside down is my fault. The kids played their first battle with it and I did not check the flag before taking photos. No I am sure the Grand Admiral will take notice and my fate is to end on the knees in front of a Gilloutine!

    Yepp, Sails were an issue. I tried to make it somehow looking like a sloop:  https://www.arbeitskreis-historischer-schiffbau.de/mitglieder/modelle/schaluppe1834/ 
    but I could only use the sail cloths from older ships. So I had to improvise - no historical or technical accuracy gramnted.

    Thanks for your wonderful comments!

    The Hideout of Kapitan "Black Cat" Catherine Wesson was protected bei a giant 32pounder Canon, capable of penetrating the body of every ship which dared to get closer.

    One of the most used class of battleships used in the High Times of Piracy were Sloops, small and fast ships. Pirates used them to attack merchant vessels, Armadas from different Nations used them as Gunboats and Landing Vessels for attacking and capturing enemy strongsponts.

    This sloop-of-war, the "Le Scorpion" from the Grand Republican Navy is equipped with a 12 pounter canon and two swivel canons. The crew consisted of up to 24 soldiers and sailors

    This has come to an end. Now.

    For ages, those arrogant folks from classic space expanded through every part of the universe and contaminated every planet with their stupid smiling faces and absurd colorful space suits. As if everything belonged to them!

    To stop and protect our mines and other investments Blacktron Securtiy Services created a new ship class - the Dark Terminator (DT1). DT1's main Laser, a rotating SuperRed Energy Beam Typ 4 can cut through every shield and every armor at the market. Additionally an array of projectile guns added fire power with different variants of explosive subspace ammunition.

    For close encouter space dogfights against smaller ships DT1 can deploy two armored drones, for ground missions a suicide UGV could be send through every kind of energy shield.

    If -and we dont think that it will ever happen - our pilot has to abandon the ship, the cockpit can be detached and will automatically jump to the next Blacktron Security Facility. But again, this will never really be necessary.

    So, all you light bluish, yellow, red, brown, white and black space clowns - be ready to meet Lt. Major Gunilla and her DT 1....

    Great Brick War existed long before that big country decided to invade that smaller country at the outskirts of Europe. And then (mostly) nobody had a problem with military mocs, though a lot of people of different countries fought in Afghanistan, Irak, Mali etc. (including Germans)

    GBW is an alternative, fictional universe which should have nothing to do with politics, opinions and moral - because, in the end those are all very subjective things. (That is why I personally would not exclude Russia, Belarus and especially Ukraine members).

    If we start discussing who has a superior moral by not building military mocs - then we are in the middle of Cancel Culture wars und subsequently politics. And then I have some more comments (#sendtheleos)

    So - if you like it, participate. If not, just ignore it.
