  1. *Your entry has earned 11 XP + 10 bonus for a total of 21 XP (S:4, T:4, A:3) Life Day on Dathomir (or The Night(mare) before Life Day) Dathomir: a remote planet full of wonders and with a strong presence of the dark side of the force. It is the home of the Nightsisters – the Witches of Dathomir – who practice an obscure facet of the force, called magick. Under the rule of the Nightsisters are the Nighbrothers, a group of fierce Zabrak warriors. During the Clone Wars, the planet would come under attack due to a power struggle between the Sith and the Nightsister mother, leading to the destruction of the witch matriarchy. Since then, only a few Nighsisters and Nightbrothers remain, caught in despair and loneliness. But the Witches have one ghoulish power: Reciting the chant of resurrection, they could summon their dead sisters who would emerge from burial pods, hoisted up high above the ground… It’s the night before Life Day, when a Nightsister decides to do something against the loneliness and calls a gathering. It’s a family holiday after all… *********** Hello and welcome to this Life Day Entry Dathomir is not the planet you probably would call ideal to convey the spirit of Life Day... ... and indeed, it is not. But hey, Life Day comes in many variants and flavours across the galaxy. The build has got the Life tree and the burial pod is like a large, hanging Life orb. And above all, Life Day is about family. I don't know if the Nightsister and Nightbrother will really enjoy themselves with their undead sisters though... (they're zombies and old, so they probably have a different political opinion they would express loudly, when drunk at dinner) My other stories and builds:
  2. *Your entry has earned 10 XP + 10 bonus for a total of 20 XP (S:3, T:3.5, A:3.5) Raiders of the Lost Art - A Star Wars Mysteries Story Chapter Overview with Link: Dramatis Personae: ******* Chapter 18.5 - Gala Guests - A Festive Figbarf << to previous chapter of Raiders of the Lost Art After all guests and staff boarded the Atrisia, the starliner jumped into hyperspace, for the New Republic Gala soon to begin… The characters displayed are: Upper left: Nobody expected a Pirate Lord at the Gala, but here he is. Make no mistake, Commodore Arrick Click (where the Click would truly be a clicking sound, if pronounced correctly) is an aged, but formidable corsair. He is known to be merciful to those who surrender, but merciless to the ones who try to deceive him. Over decades of his life as a pirate, the Aqualish Arrick emerged as a (de facto political) leader and lord protector of his wild space territory. Arrick loosly allied with some Rebel cells and fought the Empire with his fleet. He was invited to the Gala (against some opposition) in the hope he would remain righteous. Arrick owns a Merqaal named Jinx. Upper right: The Ovissian U'Lell is a honorable judge at the reestablished New Republic's court of justice. He was a lawyer during the rise of the Empire and disputed the legality of its actions. As a result, he spent almost 20 years imprisoned on Wobani. He wouldn't tell, but he still wakes up in nightmares of that place sometimes. The vegetarian loves the snackbar at the Gala and can usually be found there. Middle left: Yashdee Begoon is a lovely elder lady, fulfillin the Ithorian stereotype. She is fond of living nature and can admire a single, decorative plant for multiple hours. Yashdee is a friendly, sometimes a little naive lady, who despises violence. At younger age, she was leader of her herd. Now she is an ambassador of Ithor and supporting the idea of peace negotiations. Middle right: The human Stephim Saul-Saro is hailing from Milvayne. His father wanted him to take over the families' shipping business. But Stephim didn't give a kriff about what his father wanted. He left to become a street artist and indeed caused a stir in the underground scene on Coruscant with some anti-(clone) war art. When the planet became the Imperial Centre, he anonymously continued with anti-totalitarian artworks. He was lucky, the long reach of the ISB did not get to him - mostly because of his relationship with holovid-starlet Dzenia Moone. With the Rebellion turning into a democratic government, he now hopes for more liberty. Lower left: Yurs Vendelorn is the chief of security on board of the Atrisia and in this role subordinate directly to Admiral Ackbar and Princess Leia. At young age, Yurs witnessed the separatist bombardment of his homeworld Humbarine and volunteered for the Imperial Navy in the aftermath of the war. He climbed the ranks but soon became disillusioned by the corruption and carelessness of the totalitarian regime. Like many others, he defected and joined the Rebel Alliance. Yurs sucessfully fought many battles during the civil war and eventually received the rank of Commander. Now, he was trusted the difficult task to secure the Gala and make the guests feel equally safe and free. Commander Vendelorn is busy at the moment, as some uninvited delegation of the Hutt cartell somehow bypassed the security and got as far as the flight deck. Lower Right: Dzenia Moone. Famous holoactress and descendant of the renowned Moone dynasty. The Coruscanti human with bleached white hair was already filthy rich, when she started her career. Dzenia was a darling of many imperial officials but fell in love with shipping company heir and no-name artist Stephim Saul-Saro. Not everyone approved this romance but as a Moone, Dzenia was almost untouchable. At some point, she learned about Stephims anti-imperial art-work and was riveted by his courage. Rumor has it, she stood up for Stephim, when the ISB found out. Another rumor even says that Emperor Palpatine - being a fan of the daily holo-soap Dzenia was starring in - granted her clemency. Dzenia and Stephim had to leave Coruscant but they were able to continue their careers on Cantonica. Finally after all these years of austerity, Dzenia Moone can show herself in public with her husband again and loves being in the spotlight. ************************** Hello and welcome to part 2 of my festive figbarf
  3. *Your entry has earned 11 XP + 10 bonus for a total of 21 XP (S:4, T:3.5, A:3.5) Raiders of the Lost Art - A Star Wars Mysteries Story Chapter Overview with Link: Dramatis Personae: ******* Chapter 18.5 - Gala Guests Part I - A Festive Figbarf << to previous chapter of Raiders of the Lost Art After all guests and staff boarded the Atrisia, the starliner jumped into hyperspace, for the New Republic Gala soon to begin… The characters displayed are (from left to right) The Sullustan magnate Paydon Jatt. You wouldn't believe it, but in his younger years Jatt was a space-prospector. He made a fortune with charting space and exploring new mining opprtunities. He is a shareholder of the SoroSuub company. The Rodian Valio was nominated ambassador of a loose group of a few neutral Outer-Rim worlds. He is visiting the Gala with his wife and is curious what the new government might bring. He is well prepared and carries a retinal projector for augmented reality data with him. The human artist Lashali Sunnard was booked for the background music of the party. Originally a star during the previous regime, Lashali gently critisized the Empire in one of her shows and found herself in a women labor camp. Now rehabilitated, she will perform with her other band members on the big stage. The Pantoran Archduchess Firaya Sinsi was a silent supporter of the Rebel Alliance and her leader, Mon Mothma. Now that she can publicly show her affiliation, she would donate a significant amount of credits to the cause. Being a member of the high society, she loves these kind of events. Morzog is a fashion designer, hailing from Gallus. When he learned that the New Republic Gala would be art-themed, he did everything to get one of the precious invitations. The small Gallusian is relieved the dark days are over and non-human (and even non-humanoid) artists and designers would again have a chance to display their creations to the Galaxy. Morzog brought a huge amount of his designs with him and would love to show them to anybody interested in his quarters. The human Lem Korb is one of the many attendands, waiters and aides hired for the Gala. He had to undergo a strict security check to be allowed to work on the Atrisia today. For the Chandrilan Lem, this is a golden opportunity to finally make some credits. Even more, he's hoping for genenrous tips by the wealthy guests.

The Republic agent’s YV-560 courier ship Cloudrunner is approaching the location, where the long awaited New Republic Gala would take place… » Ah, there it is, the Atrisia. « » We have you now on our monitors, Cloudrunner. Code Green confirmed. Proceed with docking. « » Affirmative Atrisia. Approach vector 4-6-decimal 2-8. Cloudrunner over. « » Sths« (So this is where the New Republic Gala will take place? It looks like a museum!) » Oh I assure you, it is! A rarity from the days of the High Republic, manufactured by the Lantillian ShipWrights after a draft by famous designer Ramni Holian. She was an alumni of the Royal Academy of Arts on the planet Kitel Phard, also known as Atrisia! » h « (Ah, therefore the name.) Yes. Some years ago, in her desperation to come up with its own capital ships, the Alliance turned her into a starfighter carrier. But now she can serve her real purpose again - To host this exquisite party! « Meanwhile, aboard the Lambda-Shuttle Elysium with the very same destination… » Shuttle Elysium? Priority landing confirmed. Proceed with your approach. « » We just received the clearance to land on the starliner, my lord. « » Very good. Let’s hope they prepared the finest suite for us. The name Atrisia… This is a sign of fortune, Vee-Nine! Atrisia is the planet we Vonregs are hailing from. I feel it. This Gala will be a turning point for me and alter the whole New Republic! « to next chapter >> ******************** Hello and welcome to the next chapter of RotLA! Here I present you the miniature of a vintage, but refurbished civillian starliner, the Atrisia, where the New Republic Gala will take place. The ship is around 370m long and equiped with three main ion engines, as well as secondary ones for better maneuverability. I added the Corellian Blockade Runner for size reference and storywise for escort purposes. The Lambda-Shuttle shown on the first image is the 75302 one. One of my favorite series Star Wars ships by Lego. Here are additional images without the FX.

Here, in the spice mines, only the toughest survive. Outworld workers are lured to sign a contract for three years where they would make big money and then return home, but the reality is different. Some miners are stuck in servitude for their lifetime. Nonetheless, within all the misery and darkness, a little spark of compassion can light a cozy fire… » Dam-di-dam. Dam-di-da. Pom-po-pom.Pom-po-poo... « » Look! Crow and I found this decommissioned, bronzium drill. « » Yeah! What do you say, ol'Wensley? « » Ha, completely corroded! It looks almost like a tree. We have our Tree of Life! Good job! « » …and I got them Life Orbs! « » Splendid! « » Seems we have everything, but for... what was that white, crystallized water called again? « » Ha ha! Snow, my dear Clueless! « Snow... you think she be mad if we not gonna have it? « » Wait!

Rooof-Booof? « » Ol'Wensley told us all about it! There is no planet and no weird custom this ancient prospector wouldn't know. « » Ah Crow, almost every culture has a feast like Life Day, you know? « » Hm. when I was a child, we would gather around the Kalikori at Three Moons Eve and exchange little presents. Then we would drink hot chakka and tell stories... « » On Burnin' Bog Day, I’d go for a hunt with my siblings. After we return, we would set the bog on fire and the whole clan would dance around the flames. The gases would make us dizzy and then we would feast. And eventually my sister and I would start a brawl. Awsome! « » Oh! And before I was sent to the mines, I would also get to know similar customs at my masters' families! One would even set up a tree in the habitat to celebrate life with the family! And he wasn't even a Wookiee! « » Exactly! Since we are all stuck here in these spice mines, let ourselves have our own merry, little Life Day celebration, hm? « » Mhhrrr Chrrrhhstmmmhhrrrr! « ***************************** Hello and welcome to my contribution to the Life Day Contest 2024 I hope you enjoy this little story about friends making their comrade happy on Life Day.

A single figure is standing in the middle of the pouring rain and waiting for someone to arrive... Baron Vonreg made a detour from Chandrila, to answer the call of his favorite niece... » That's a bold move to come here.Especially considering where you come from. Taris is a New Republic world now, Elena. « » Uncle. So good to see you. I know it’s dangerous but I had to come. It's urgent. Viceadmiral Cesco wants to bring the Imperial Remnant to one table. He demands you to be the host at Castle Vonreg, at the same time the Rebel Gala takes place. « » Hrmpf. So the Emperor's Hound wants to test my loyalty. « » Yes, uncle. He... he thinks you are a - « » A what? « » A traitor! I mean, c'mon! He's not even wrong, is he? You are ingratiating yourself and selling our family to this... Rebel scum! « » Elena, you forget: We are Vonregs first. We invested heavily into the Empire. With Credits and blood! You and your cousins serve the Empire, yes, but only because I allowed so! I have my own agenda now. You will see, the Vonregs will be on the rise soon. Independent from the Empire. « » Our family has emerged from insignificance to relevance, thanks to the Empire! And you are throwing it all away for this... Republic?! « » Times change, little Elena. My place is where the center of power is. I don't want to be part of the failing Empire. I just want to squeeze enough out of it before it collapses, like the supernova it is. « » Uncle? You are breaking my heart! If you won't come back and host this Shadow Council, Cesco will get us executed! All of us Vonregs in the ranks of the Imperial Fleet and Army. Your Blood! « » ... « » Nothing to say?!? Drop me off here. Now!! « » Elena... Please... « » I'll be at our families' castle and organize the meeting. If you have any loyalty left in you, you'll be there. « » ... « » She is right, master. Your obsession with Palpatines treasures and that Alderaan princess could cost many of your relatives' lives, considering Admiral Cescos reputation... « » Grr, I don't need a droid chauffeur to be my source of conscience. I know what I have to do... « Bonus: Somewhere, deep in the Imperial Remnant territories... » Honored loyal Imperial Admirals, Captains, Comissars and Moffs. I am Commander Vonreg, attaché of the Admiral of the Apocalyptic Fleet. Some time ago, we not only lost our Emperor, but also our focus. We are an Empire no more. We are a thousand Empires - each and every single one dying on its own. It is time, to stop the bleeding and unite! As you are reading this transmission, Rebels gather to prematurely celebrate their so called victory. Their attention is diverted. This is the time to hold council and to decide on the future of the Empire. You, as one of the most powerful and trusted servants of the Empire, are invited to join this Shadow Council. If you decide to follow the call, we will send you the coordinates of the secret meeting. Take responsibility and be part of the Rebirth!

It's time, to pull all the stories - Raiders and Jedi Quest - together in a a major cross-over! The New Republic is soon going to celebrate a big Gala. In the meantime, the Imperial Remnants try to organize a secret Shadow Council. And where are Ward Len'ya and his team, after they failed to get the information they were seeking at Momma the Hutt? Stay tuned and you will see! BIG CREDIT TO @Keymonus for his interpretation of rain with Lego bricks. His build inspried me to try out the technique in a Star Wars Mysteries episode. Here are additonal pictures of Vonregs Limousine Speeder. I tried a star wars-y version of a 1930ies limousine, like the RR Phantom III for example.

With the New Republic Gala looming on the other end of the Galaxy, agents Arthemias Bolt and Xher arrive on Acorvus, an obscure, barren planet in the Expansion Region. Len’ya’s information was just right. The planet - also known as Lazerian III – serves as a less known penal colony and hideout of the noble Vonreg family – the Castle Vonreg! » Castle Vonreg…there it is! « » There’s a lot of imperial activity down there. It will be difficult to sneak in... « » You don't say? I have a bad feeling about this. « » Len'ya has been planning this for a long time. We can't back down. « » I doubt he knew about this little gathering of Remnant blokes. After the failure with Momma the Hutt, I'm still wondering how Len'ya managed to come up with the position of this castle. « » Yeah, probably made a deal or two. « » Oh, sure he did. The question is, with whom. Anyway, let's stick to the plan. We'll sneak in, receive Len'yas transmission of Vonreg's personal codes, open the vault and retrieve the Ring of Nurbia. The Ring is key to find Emperor Palpatines treasure planet, right? « » Right... « » At least we have support from the special forces. « » I told you we don't need them. You, me and Rietta would do. « » Rietta wouldn't fit into a stormtrooper's uniform, would she? Anyway we need her to slice the local network and help us out! « » I hope these two are as good as you say. « » Hey, don't worry, sweatheart. Cahain and I got into places more heavily guarded than this. « » More guarded than this?! They have walkers, they have a shield generator, all these cannons and guards...« » Geller and Cahain are Pros who just returned from a rescue mission! No one keeps their cool better than these two. Len'ya trusts me with my choices and I do with his, see Black Sun? « » Ok, I guess you and Len'ya are square then... Look! That one guard is leaving the sentry again! « » Ok. Now or never! Xher, take out that guard! Geller and Cahain? Secure the left flank and shut down those cameras. We'll meet at the outlet! And y'all watch out for the AT-ST and them Viper droids! « to next chapter >> ************************************ Hello there and welcome to the next episode of Raiders of the Lost Art!

And it's Viceadmiral. There is no Emperor left to promote me. I'm not like the other warlords out there, taking pompous titles to sound more important. « » Sir… may I ask, is this the Jedi prisoner, everyone is talking about? « » He’s no Jedi. Merely an annoyance. And after multiple weeks in stasis, he’s more dead than alive. He thought he could trick me, but finally he fell into my hands. « » Commander: What was the ratio of Rebel ships and the Imperial fleet before the disaster above Endor? « » I... I don't know, Sir. « » More than 1:1000! And what is it now? « » I'm not sure, Sir... Is this a test of some kind? « » 1:10. My point is the Empire could still crush the Rebellion easily. But it is lacking unity. All these warlords, they are stockpiling resources. They are distrustfully looking at each other in malevolence. We are watching the Rebels taking us out, one by one! They are even daring to celebrate their victories in a gala! We are no Empire no more. We are a thousand pathetic little Empires dying a thousand deaths! « » Sir, why can't you be our leader? You have these Reborn and the Apocalyptic Fleet under your control... « » Good question, Commander, I could. However, I'm more useful on the battlefield, rather than in politics. There are plenty little Imperial cells with control over one cruiser or a garrison. They are useless. But there are also some bigger fish out there. Isard, Moff Pandion, Captain Paelleon, Comissar Rax, Moffs Kaas and Bradwyn... We would need to bring them all to one table; to decide about the fate of the Empire. And then there is your family... « » I'm loyal to the Empire. So is my family. « » How about Baron Vonreg himself? He supports the rebellion now, I heard. That is high treason. « » I assure you, my uncle is loyal to the Empire. « » I hope for your sake that is the case, Commander, because it's your duty now to organize a little meeting. And I expect the Baron to host it, at Castle Vonreg… « Sometime later, the prisoner is left alone in his never ending agony... But suddenly... » Room secured! « » Trrt-proop-brrraat! « » Yes, TJ-13. We finally found your friend. « » Whtshppninningggnnhh… « » Just relax for a moment. You're free of the energy field. Shh. You have stasis sickness. … « » N-N-Neebrum?! Isthaty-y-you?

An old power generator building, now used as a garage for one of the infamous Tarisian Swoop racers. A Galactic Enterpreneur, soldier of fortune and Rebel Hero is sneaking around and making an important discovery… » Look what we have here... « » Hey, what are you doing here?! Identify yourself! « » It's not my fault! I was just admiring this swoop machine and - « » Luke! Thanks, but I almost coaxed them into giving me all the information. « » Sure you have. Lando? Good to see you. « » Oh, who we have here? I am Lando Calrissian. Galactic Entrepreneur and a friend of Luke's. « » Iya Qu'an. Nice cape and nice to meet you. « » So what have you found, Lando? « » You set me on these Dark Acolytes and I asked around, you know. One thing led to the other and now I'm here. They were smuggling these from Coruscant. « » Lightsabers! They are for the Reborn. « » Well combined, detective Jedi, muhaha! Now you all have to die... « Three Reborn Dark Jedi appear and an intense fight begins... » That's impossible! « Now, young Skywalker, you will die... » Argh! No! « » Luke! « » I'm ok. This - this powers reminded me of... « » I... I didn't want to... « » It's ok, Iya. These Reborn are vessels for the Dark Side. Not really alive anymore. I will stop it. All of this. « » You alone? « » It's too dangerous for you to stay with me. That holds for Lando too. I cannot protect you. « But I feel the White Current! « » But you can't control it. You are brave, but you require training... Training I cannot provide you. Not now. « Lando will take you to safety. Lando? « » Sure... I can get you off-world, Iya. « » I understand... Jedi Luke? May the White Current flow through you. « » Haha, and the Force be with you, Iya. « » He'll be fine. Hey, there is a big New Republic Gala I'm attending soon. Maybe you want to be my guest, Iya? I can show you a bit around. « To next chapter >> ************************************ Hello and welcome to the next episode of Jedi Quest! The garage is my second attempt to build a circular base after the Prologue for RotLA. I’m quite happy how it turned out, although there was some tweaking necessary as the wing-plates do not make up a perfect 180° half circle, which was annoying. The build comprises an old energy generator room that is used as a garage for a swoop racer now. The swoop is a reminiscence of the one on Taris from the old KotOR game. Here I reused parts from from my M4-24 pod racer and modified them to fit with the wings and engines. Also the color scheme of the racer reminds of Anakins pod racer. The Reborn are expanded by the dark blue variant here. Not sure if I can introduce the orange and the green one to some day Last but not least, there is another familiar face showing up with Lando. I gave him some new clothes as this fella is known for his extravagancy and having a fitting cape to any of his garment. I hope you like this version! I guess the Jedi Quest Arc with Luke is coming to an end here. I don't want to over-use and own him here too much. Please give me feedback what you think. But there definitely will be a "Wiedersehen" with Iya Qu'an soon! Credits to @Professor Thaum for the control panel of the power core I got inspired by a lot! Also to let the cables and hoses disappear in the ground was a cool idea I took as a reference from here. Here are some bonus pictures:

It is said, that deep in the hot waters the Corewraiths dwell – mysterious and dangerous creatures, born in the planet’s core, spitting boiling water and worshiped by many, only surpassed in their legendary status by the mythical Mythosaurus’ of Mandalore. No Corewraith has haunted the sanctuary for a many years and for now, only nasty ice spiders would call the cavern with the sacred pool their home. Today, Mandalorians from all clans would gather here to hold a conclave. Not all of them are happy; as it’s the first time in centuries an offworlder would be allowed to enter their sanctuary… » All clear now! « » Mandalorians! Let’s welcome our guest in these sacred halls and listen what they have to offer! « » I am Senator Auxi Kray Korbin, Chief Advisor to recently elected Chancellor Mon Mothma. I am here as an ambassador of the New Republic. Both our people have suffered heavily under the stranglehold of the Empire. Although the Empire was shattered, its fragments remain sharp and dangerous. The New Republic offers you an alliance to avert this threat together, for once and for all! What do you say?!« » The Mandalore way is the way of strength. If you were strong, you would not come here and beg for help – you and your little Republic. I say, Mandalore has no need for weaklings. And no need for this blasphemy of having you setting foot here, in first place. « » I think, you misunderstood the Senator. She is offering a partnership. I have heard no word of begging from her mouth. « » Pfft. Partnership. Alliance. Other words for weakness. « » What if the Corewraiths deemed me worthy? Oh yes, I learned about your legends and I demand the Corewraiths’ trial! « » No offworlder has ever challenged the Corewraiths’ judgment! That’s outrageous! Blasphemy! « » She has all rights to do so. You know it is the way… « » Yes… It is the way. « » That’s five minutes deep in those hot water caves now. I admit she was brave but she failed. The Corewraiths have spoken. « » No wait, she’s resurfacing… « » Then, this is the way! « ****************** Hello and welcome to a contribution for @Yperio_Bricks 's Mando Mayhem story arc!

I bet this dishwater we're wading in is full of parasites! What is this liquid anyway? Feels and looks like yolk! « » No worries. It is just polluted water and the acid would kill all the bad thingies in it anyway. « » I thought you were Pros... looks more like you escaped an asylum to me... « » Cut the chatter.

Before the reception by chancellor Mothma, the guests stroll around on the Promenade Deck, admire the displayed art or enjoy the exclusive appetizers and beverages… »...This is outrageous! Humiliating! You know who I am?!? This is barbarism, to deny us our personal assistants! « » I'm so sorry sir. As I said, personal aides or non-approved droids are not allowed for security reasons. I assure you me and my colleagues are more than happy to assist you. « » Who is in charge of this nonsense?! I want to file a complaint! « » Of course, Lord Vonreg. I can help you to file your complaint to Commander Vendelorn or minister Organa... « » The princess?! Are you insane?! Who would bother her with such a tittle. Anyway, where can I meet her? I have to talk to her on a very different topic as soon as possible. « » Um... She will be at the welcoming reception, I guess. It's starting in thirty minutes. « » Good. So - « » Ezhugh! Hu-hu! We are here! « » Will you join us, Baron? We are just musing about this little event. « » I will bring your belongings to your suite, sir. No worries. Mr Jatt, Sir? This a non-smoking event, I'm afraid. « » Smoking?! This ciguarre is more worth than your years' income! Call the security, if you must. Idiot. « » Lady Firaya? Mr. Jatt. Delighted to meet you. « » So, what about you Vonreg? How do you plan to profit from this "New Republic"? « » Paydon! The Gala is not about business! It's a fundraiser for the New Republic civilian services! « » Pah, I'm not an idealist. I invest and then expect something in return. No matter who's in charge. « » Ah well, as soon as we regained our freedom, the elites think they can divide it among themselves. « » With all due respect, princess. You need the elites to run the New Republic. « » I know. Mon Mothma wanted this gala cruise to happen. The idea is that we travel the New Republic while we celebrate the "dawn of an era of piece". But I'll be happy when this whole event is over. Piece is still a wishful thinking and security around this event a big challenge. Ackbar and I have had sleepless nights. « » The ship is in good hands with the Admiral at the helm. « » Royal Highness. The reception is about to start in a few minutes. « » Ok, Threepeeo. Let's get it over with. Thanks for the talk and heads-up, Mr. Len'ya. « to next chapter >> *********************** Here is another image without the minifigs and the statue (called 'The Guardian') displayed more prominently
  13. Sold Out on Naboo Having spent years as an Intelligence Officer, Captain Screed had managed to cultivate a number of useful contacts throughout the galaxy. These sources of information, although far from loyal, served as valuable assets, particularly in the new chaotic and unpredictable post Imperial period. One such informant was a Spice Trader, Tak Fordo, who had taken up residence on Naboo following the fall of the Empire. In an attempt to reconnect with other wayward Imperials, Screed felt the homeworld of the slain Emperor was a good place to begin his search. However, upon making contact with Fordo, he quickly learned that not only was this search going to be more difficult than he had originally believed, but his efforts under the Empire had not gone unnoticed and the New Republic had put a decent bounty on his head. Betrayed on Naboo by Nicholas Goodman, on Flickr Betrayed on Naboo by Nicholas Goodman, on Flickr Betrayed on Naboo by Nicholas Goodman, on Flickr Betrayed on Naboo by Nicholas Goodman, on Flickr After fighting off the New Republic forces sent to take him into custody, Screed and his Stormtroopers successfully returned to their ship. As they took off, he thought about where they should go next in their continuing search for fellow imperials. As he watched the blue and green planet of Naboo shrinking into the distance, a memory of an imprisoned defector from the time of the empire came back to him. His pilot asked “Where to, Captain?” Screed replied “Coruscant.”

Let the Jedi falter! « » Rrrnnn-Rrrnnn!!! « Sometime later… » Doctor… « » Ah. Master Tho-Ral, how can I serve? « » The Reborn. They are … a mess. They are consumed by the Dark Side. How can I lead an army of Dark Jedi, when they DIE AFTER A FEW DAYS?!? Not talking about the Jedi sniffing around… « » Argh [chokes] This is uncharted territory, master. The subjects are technically already dead, you know?! « Injecting the substance while killing them stabilizes the transfer. That was a great idea, I have to say.

Get your recycled food! « » Um, we’re getting some food, it seems. « » Want some? It’s actually better than advertised. « » Er… no thank you. So you just follow where the current flows, I assume. « » The Force? Yes, the Force is with me. It will guide you if you learn to listen. « » Luke, erm… the Reborn called you the Last Jedi. Are you really the last one? « » To be honest, I don’t know. My old master told me so, but… I think there are more. Maybe none of them was promoted to be a Jedi-Knight, but they can wield the Force. I mean, look at you, Iya. « » My kin does not wield the White Current. It’s forbidden, in fact. That’s what got me here - ‘cause I … I’m different… « » You want to become a Jedi. « » Can you… can you teach me these powers? « » Hmm. I barely finished my own training. I don’t know if I’m ready. I mean, I will have to rebuild the Jedi order some day but - « » Why are you afraid? « » Hmm … Ask me again some time. « » Oh! Stormtroopers! What are they doing here? « » Taris is still contested. There are some hideouts the New republic did not get to yet. Let’s investigate. « » … and he said, that’s the best you can do with your life. You either run like a coward, or be part of something. « » So you undergo that treatment and then what? They hand you over one of these laserswords and you become something like an invincible demigod? « » Unlimited power, he said - if you stand the pain. But if they ask me, I take it. Better than hiding here, surrounded by junk. You should do the same. « » I dunno, pal. Sounds like some cultist gibberish. The Empire is going down to pieces, I say it. I’m not going to join. « » Do what you want. But if I run into a Jedi, I’d rather be equipped and powerful enough to fight him. « » Psst, Luke? You hear that? « » Yes, Iya.

They are much faster than us! « »They were using the solar wind to cover their approach! « »Hey! Usually it's us having the good ideas! « »We will not make it to the jump. They'll shoot us down! « »Argh. hypercomm is jammed! « »Karabast! They're hunting us! That's a Lancer frigate blocking the comms! « »... and two more Light Cruisers on the long range scanners - orbiting Velusia and spitting additional fighters. I ask myself, why aren't they engaging too... « »Hah, they consider a Lancer more than enough to handle us, I guess... « »Aurora Squadron, I should remind you that my ships primary weapon system is still offline... « »Captain... « »Adar Welton Yuro, my dear. « »Adar Yuro, keep the course. We hold them off as best as we can! Jump to Shawken and alert the Republic. We have a Fast Response Strike Fleet in orbit there! « »Of course, my dear! I will request assistance immediately. « »Aurora Squadron: S-foils in attack position. All power to the front deflectors. Let's show 'em who we are! « »Roger, big sis, Aurora three standing by! « »Roger, 'rora Leader! So this is it. The Last dance... « »Lancer ahead! Fly-by low and fast! Let's make them shoot through our formation onto the pursuing TIEs and then get out of reach of their turbolasers!

This is Captain Quffar of the New Republic Cruiser Tranquility, we are here to aide you! « »Not a moment too soon, Tranquility! We - argh - have trouble with the Lancer and possibly more enemy ships incoming. « »No worries, take cover in our formation. We'll do the rest. Standby ion control... fire! « With the arrival of the Republic the tide turns. The A-Wings and the CR90 corvettes handle the enemy fighters, while the Lancer gets disabled by the brand new MC25i Heavy Ion Artillery Cruiser. »Rebel ... I mean Republic forces! This is Captain Algin Taggart of the Imperial frigate Baygon. I declear my surrender and request protection under the New Republic Integrity Act for war prisoners. I... - wait, what do you mean traitor, I - arghhh -« »What was that?! Captain Taggart?! « »Seems like he's been cut off, Ma'am. « ********************************* Hello and thanks for reading the second issue of the Aurora Squadron. @Professor Thaum inspired me with his lovely little Arquitens Harvester and Bloodhound to work on some miniatures on my own. Here, I present you my creation, the Heavy Ion Artillery Cruiser MC25i. The MC25i is not that large but comes with a special mission profile: The Rebels suffered a stunning defeat on Hoth, but what still went well there, was the ion canon coverage for the escaping transports. The MC25i brings this advantage into space. With the integrated heavy ion canon, the cruiser represents a major threat, even to capital ships like Star Destroyers, disabling their shields and maneuverability swiftly. New Republic pilots nickname it the Tranquilizer, firstly because it puts other ships to sleep, secondly being a malapropism of the first ship built, the here shown Tranquility and thirdly because being on patrol with it can be tranquilizing, as it is quite slow. Its disadvantage is the high power consumption, leaving a vulnerability window, where some of the deflector energy level needs to be rerouted before firing. This has been addressed by strenghtening the hull armor, making the MC25i a quite sluggish cruiser. The roll-out of MC25i goes alongside with a new New Republic doctrine from the chancellors' bureau, to save lives and equipment, even on the enemies' side. The cruiser has been co-developed by Mon Calamari, Quarren and Corellian engineers. The former gave it a whale shark-like appearance, taking inspiration from their home world's rich aquatic fauna. The MC25i is a reminiscence to the much larger MC75 with the hanging bridge. I realized I need to add some other, well known ship for size reference, so that's why I came up with the Corellian Blockade Runner. The design is partially moc, partially I took some design reference from other moccers on the www. The TIE interceptor I built already some months ago, when I modified the 75300 TIE fighter. I'm happy I could use it here for some cool scenes. Last but not least, the X-Wings and the capital ships needed a villain ship to be disabled so I built the infamous Lancer frigate. I realized it's quite a bulky ship and maybe I got it a little bit too thick, but that's how it turned out

C'mon! Where are we... er... Velus system. Look! The Core is ours. Coruscant is the only world in this region left to be controlled by the Imps. « » You should tell the Empire, Partt. Space is vast. How many jumps did we make? Twelve? And what about the hundreds of lightyears and star systems we did not cover? « » Trill-deep-boop « » Yeah exactly, RQ! It's so easy to enter systems undetected.

Alliance signature. It's coming from that little moon there... « » That’s no moon... « » What do you mean?! « » I mean technically it's no moon. It's not orbiting a planet. I'd say, looking at its elliptical trajectory around the central star, it's a dwarf planet. « » I'm starting to regret I promoted you two to be my wingmen. You're like an old couple!

I knew the Rebel Alliance would help! « » You mentioned an ion discharge? « » Yes my dear! I tried to escape but they hit me and - « » Who hit you?! « » The Imperials, of course. I ran into a patrol of TIEs when I was trying to escape the planetary embargo. I deployed an ion mine but the discharge overloaded my primary systems too. I managed to take cover here around this little moon. « » It's not a - arrgh - forget it. « » So Imperials are operating in this system? « » Of course, my dear. « » You escort us to our base and report everything to our Commander!

Now you seek informations? « » I heard rumors that there are Jedi, occasionally visiting this club. I... I'd like to meet them. « » Oh, I understands. You want to meet the Jedis. Here they comes! « » You are looking for Jedi? Who are you, missy? « » Are you Jedi? « » I'm the one asking questions! Where do you have that lightsaber from? « » This doesn't feel right... I sense the Dark Tide... I'd better go... « » You are not going anywhere. You are - « » Let her go. « » It's him! The Last Jedi! « » I said, let her go! « » You have no power here, Jedi! We are the Reborn! We are many - you are alone. « » Rrnn-rrnn!!! « » You are making your last mistake...

That power of yours... you kinda dissappeared and escaped the Dark Jedi so smoothly. « » It's a trick I learned from my kin, the Fallanassi. The White Current disguises me for a short time. When I concentrate enough. « » The White Current?... a synonym of the Force I guess. But I've never seen this power. Come and help me to check on those Reborn. Ah here comes Artoo! Right on time. « » Who were they? « » I don't quite know... they fought like Jedi, but... the force felt different with them. Kinda ... warped. « » Look at this ones face! « » I know. Their corpses seem corrupted and consumed by an unnatural force… « » Piep-dood-piep-trall! « » Artoo says, these two were Stormtroopers once. « » But how could they become strong with the Dark Tide? « » I don't know... Many lightsabers, belonging to Jedi once and later corrupted by the Sith, were transferred from Coruscant recently. One trace brought me here to Taris. I think their weapons might belong to that ominous batch. But it seems there is more going on here... « >> to next chapter *********************************************** Hello and welcome to an entry I've been looking forward for a long time. Sorry for the long post, but I really wanted to do all the different action packed shots and angles I hope it is epic for you as well! The group of Len'ya is a little bit idle now, on their way to a secret meeting with a Hutt. That's why there was time to work on this build, introducing my first Jedi story piece and the lighted bar! It's an hommage to the hero of my childhood - you can imagine who - but also an hommage to one of the best Star Wars video games, Jedi Oucast! I love the bar scene from the game and this here is a big bow to the little dialogue with the bartender with bad grammar there, as well as to the villians of the game, the Reborn. I'm now purposely mixing old canon and new canon here, boldly creating an "Eurobricks Mysteryverse" version of it with the Reborn being created/or part of the Acolytes of the Beyond. I'm going to explore this arc in the future for sure. But I'm not only bringing-in some mysterious dark Jedi, but also introducing a new character in Iya Qu'an. Stay tuned if you want to know, how the loose ends of the stories will unfold! Last but not least, here some additional images of how the lighting of the FLAREDANCER club has been done. I used an old tracing box I build once for illustrations. Here, I left open slits underneath the tables and voila, the nice lighting EDIT NOTE: I changed the title and tags, as this is now the first chapter of a spin-off called 'Jedi Quest'

Stationed around three lightdays from the sun Corell, KOPYDAT space station is the former central unit of an almost forgotten Corellian mining venture from more than hundred standard years ago, that aimed for pristine comet ice. The exploitation of the comet belt however soon proved uneconomic and the station got abandoned. Being far away from any known hyperspace route to and from Corellia - it takes days to reach it with sub-light engines– the lost station was reactivated sometime before the Clone Wars and served as a remote retreat for smugglers, scoundrels and outlaws. Some years ago the station took a blast, as partisans, running from the Empire, triggered a detonation to cover their escape. Many died at KOPYDAT due to abrupt pressure loss or were sucked into the cold emptiness of space. The handful that survived abandoned the wreck and KOPYDAT became a ghost station, haunted by the poor souls that were lost by that reckless maneuver. As spacers tend to be superstitious, none of them would ever return and KOPYDAT remained silent for many years... ********************************* Edit: additional images without FX:

What about our special asset? You arranged his transfer? « » Yes. Everything is planned. I will personally accompany curator Kuenaga from Coruscant to safety. « » Good.

The Imperial ambush failed and Rox and his team rescued the Republic agents… » Rox, old lad! That was good timing! We owe you! Look here, my green friend is wounded. She needs medical help immediately! « » Good to see you alive, Bolt. We have some Bacta with us, no worries. She will be fine. « » What are you doin’ here so far away from the Republic? Not that I complain… « » We currently use to operate behind enemies' lines. After we handled some troubles on Dagro we moved here to gather intel. In the meantime we contacted the local rebel cell, trying to spark a rebellion. Seems like you set a new tone! « » Gngh, what’s that rattling sound?! « » ART incoming. Get cover!!! « » ‘The hell is that? « » XR-45 ART - Anti-Riot-Tank. From the old republic days. They were actually decommissioned. The Imps called them the ‘Assimilator’ and used them against smaller riots. Here it seems they changed the non-lethal shock-canon with a heavy blaster canon though! « » Rebel intruders! Your little uprising is over! Surrender immediately or you will be decimated! « » Guess what? No! « » Troopers! Charge! « The Republic agents are in trouble, with the ART putting them under heavy blaster fire! But suddenly the tides turn... » Assimilate this! « » Rietta?!? Where did she come from?! What a blast! The tank’s done! « » And the people of Shag City also have something to say! « Indeed, by helping the old man and his niece back at market square, Bolt and Xher sparked an uprising! The riot sets the whole city ablaze and soon there are fights against the occupants everywhere. Finally, Len’ya arrives with the swamper ferryman… » Bolt, Xher, Rietta, do not hang behind and jump on board! We should waste no more time! « » Hey Mr. Bothan! What about the intel you said you have for me? « » Ah General! There are some inconsistent reports coming from the Mandalorian Sector. Remain stand-by please. I will contact you about the details via Hypercomm soon... « to next chapter >> ****************** Hello and thanks for reading! Thanks to General Rox and his team everything turned out well in the end, didn't it? Thanks for allowing me to feature your sigfig here @Yperio_Bricks Here you find some additional images of the XR-45 ART Anti-Riot-Tank, also known as 'Assimilator'. Pun with the title of my story intended! The vehicle is the build to be scored in this entry as the street has been featured already in chapter 12. The ART is based on the XR-85 from legends continuity. I knew it only from the old 'Rogue Squadron 3D' video game, where they were pretty small - smaller than an AT-PT. In other media they are actually described as extremely large moving turrets, as @Yperio_Bricks pointed out to me! So I changed a little bit the focus during building and customized it to fit into the street fight scene and it became my creation, the XR-45. I introduced a driver for the tank, as it looked better, where the XR-85 is a droid tank. Hope you like it!

Amidst various districts, infamous for their lawlessness, there are a few places of peace and harmony like Old Kaadu Corral Road. In earlier days, the swamp-proven mounts from Naboo have been used by prospectors but the corral was removed long ago. Today, the road is comprising workshops, apartments and - most prominent – a temple dedicated to a Mon Calamari deity. No one, the temple warden included, knows what dark twist this day might bring... » Let's take cover behind that thruster block! « » Just wanted to say, you nailed it as an Imperial Colonel! « » Thanks but now they are nailing us down! More Troopers incoming! « » Dank Farrik, they don't do things by halves this time! Len'ya! Where are ya?!? « In the tavern, not far away… » Ma bantam ol' mum dubbed me Skoova Stev. Skoova the fisher am I. [...] So there we were! Four Quarren spears, each wi' a mind tae make a masterpiece out o' ma wee rubbery head [...] « » That's most interesting, please do go on... « Meanwhile the gunfight rages on... Xher and Bolt repel the charging Stormtroopers, but they do not expect another threat having a high ground on them… » Gotcha, Rebel scum! « Mar'Cato, the imperial sharpshooter has the agents in his crosshair... » Ugh!!! « » Xher!!! « » Rwaaaahhh!!! Take this! « » Hey, Black Sun. Come on! Don’t flake out! You gonna be good… « Ughn… no worries. I’m not going to die easily, fossil! « » Hey, listen: you know what's funny? My wallet's gone! « … But suddenly: » Surrender immediately! « ... to next chapter >> ********************************** Hello everyone reading. I hope you enjoyed the action-stuffed chapter today! Special thanks to @Eternal Maul for borrowing sharpshooter Mar'Cato for this scene. (Don't worry, he'll be alright ) Here are some additional impressions of the Old Kaadu Corral Road before it gets devastated :

His destination is a little tavern named Skoova’s, at the outskirts of the busy town … » Hey furhead! You know this one? A Bothan walks into a bar. He dies. « » Dengar. If it were all about humor, you'd be the best bounty hunter in the galaxy. « » Grr. What do you want? You, walking in here... That is no coincidence, right? « » Funny and smart! You were working for Big Momma recently *. « (* see the story by @Jody Meyer ) » So? « » I have an important message for her. I need you to deliver it. « » Playing messenger is below my standards. « » I didn't know you had any. Anyway. It's a fair deal: I got credits, you have a fast ship and Momma trusts you enough to listen. « » Hmm. I'll consider it... « » Hey! There seems to be gunfight at the main road! The Empire is rolling out some heavy equipment! « » Oh, I have a bad feeling about this... « to next chapter >> **************************** Hello everyone! Welcome to Chapter 11 of RotLA. The premise for this vignette and Len'yas encounter with Dengar was that it should be in some kind of rustic tavern with a fish tank, inspired by the Saloon from the Jedi Survivor video game. One thing led to the other and suddenly I was working on a minifig version of Skoova Stev. So it became his bar on Aetwelt. I hope you like it. Sentinel_Brix Additional images here:

The town is built into a massive boulder in the midst of the swamp. The inhabitants use natural and artificial caverns as their homes and shops and errected towers of different style, reflecting their different homeworlds. Shag City has an infamous slave market and is a true melting pot. It used to belong to the Hutts, but since some years it is under control of the Imperials. Here, Len'ya and his crew want to recruit a thief... » Ah Shag City. Aetwelts beating, black heart! I have a special appointment elswhere in the city. The three of you find the thief and recruit him. « » How predictable. « » The two of you will do. I go fetch some supplies. This is a good market for unique components... « »How can we find a thief in this crowd. Len'ya didn't even mention his species. « »Patience and sharp eyes will help - Or a bait. « » A bait? « »If he is a pro he uses a scanner that detects the value of credits in one's wallet. I have an emitter in my pocket that will trick the pickpockets' scanner so that he thinks I'm the biggest game around. « While Xher and Bolt are looking for a thief to recruit, they register some commotion on the street. »Down on the ground, rebel scum! « »Granpa! « » Gnhnn! « »I need to do something! « »Xher, no! This is not our mission! Oh too late... « »Hey buckethead! Stop that! « » Back off citizen, or you're the next face down in the dust! « » Troopers! Disengage immediately! This is an order! « » You too, step back. This is none of your business! « » Oh I'm afraid it is, Corporal! I'm Colonel Izpin from the Security Bureau! « » Colonel? « » Yes! Izpin! ISB-Sec-Code Bravo-One-Zero-Two-Two. You should know your superiors! And you two better identify yourself too! « » Eh, my name is Dunta Rem- « »I don't care 'bout your kriffin' name!!! What's your TK-number on duty?! « » TK-117, Sir! Colonel, Sir! « » But sir, this man has been distributing rebel propaganda… « » Sure he did! We're undercover trying to catch the real rebels! You maggots are jeopardizing the whole operation! You know the word?! Jeopardize?! « » Eh... Jeopard? Is that an animal of some kind? I don't know... « » Oh dear... That explains a lot. You two are triggerin' my migrane. Listen: Next time you arrest one of my agents, I'll assign you to the mounted troopers. You gonna be cleaning stables for the rest of your life! Is that getting to your laser-brain? « »Sir! Yes, Sir! « » Okay agents let's retreat. We need to start all over again because of these two nerf herders... « But as they move, an officer enters the scene! » Imposter! Surrender or die! « » I really, really tried to avoid this... « to next chapter >> ********** Hello! So here it is: Shag City - capital of Aetwelt. Here are some additional angles and images of Shag City and its inhabitants:
