Since the destruction of the second Death Star the hyperspace lanes have been dangerous to travel. Imperial Star Destroyers stop all non-imperial traffic searching for rebels. Pirates are preying on freighters. And even the Alliance pilots have been known to be a little too quick on the trigger these days. No matter who you are right now it's best to have a well equipped ship or to travel in groups. And the best routes to take are the heavily trafficked hyperspace lanes. Dark Side This galaxy doesn't appreciate the peace and prosperity the Empire brought! Our ships are being attacked at every turn. We need to establish a base along the Corellian Run. Contact the Imperial academy on Arkanis. We'll send some of our forces there to ensure safe travel. Mercenaries There's ships a plenty out there that need our... protection. We should set up a check point on Etti IV to ensure we have access to the Hydian Way. Light Side Seems we can't go two clicks without running into a pirate or a Star Destroyer! We need to establish safe zones so we can get supplies to those in need. Gather the fleet and head to Terminus. We'll be able to secure both the Hydian Way and the Corellian Trade Spine there. Though, steer clear of the Shadowport. We may be able to recruit some good pilots there, but we don't want to get on the wrong side of the Smuggler's Guild. Contest Specifics: There are 3 categories for this contest. Cat A: Build a starship for your team. This can be anything from a single pilot fighter up to a freighter like the Millennium Falcon or the Ghost. It should be minifigure scale but the figs won't figure as part of your score. Background scenes are encouraged but not required. Cat B: Build a crew for a starship. Your crew should include at least 3 characters but can include as many as you want. You can have 1 pilot and some ground crew or a whole crew for a freighter or bomber. We'd love for you to build a crew that matches a ship built for Cat A, but it's not required. Background scenes are allowed but the emphasis should be on the figures. Cat C: Build a 100 stud long ship. This is especially for anyone want to build something for SHIPtember. It can be any ship as long as it's at least 100 studs in length. The Rules: All entries must be entered using this form: Link to Submission Form All rules in the Core Rules topic apply unless otherwise stated in this explanation or the rules above.

MAIN CHALLENGE: Episode 2 - The Race
MKJoshA posted a topic in Mysteries: A Star Wars Role-Playing Game
When word hits the holonet that the grand prize of Coachelle Prime's Riot Race is a Hyperspace Star Chart the various factions throughout the galaxy put together their best racers to compete. Contest Specifics: There are 3 categories for this contest. Cat A: Build a Riot Racer and pilot. Assign a total of 12 points across the three categories of Attack, Defense, and Speed. No category can have more than 5 points assigned to it. Try to have your Riot Racer match the stats you give it. For example, if you put 5 in Attack, 4 in Speed, and 3 in Defense your Riot Racer should be sleek with lots of blaster canons. All racers will compete against each other. Various obstacles will be faced by all racers requiring Attack, Defense, or Speed stats to "beat." So chose your stats wisely. The race will consist of 24 "spaces" split into 3 laps of 8 spaces each. Each round your Racer will move the number of spaces corresponding to its speed stat. So if you have a Speed of 4, you'll move 4 spaces. During each round your racer will face an obstacle requiring Attack or Defense to overcome. If a whomp rat with defense of 3 gets in your way you'll have to shoot it. If your attack is 3 or higher you get to proceed as normal. But if your attack is 2 then you'll be penalized the difference between the 2 stats and the number of spaces you get to move will be decreased accordingly. If a Tusken with attack of 5 starts shooting and your defense is only 3 you'd be penalized 2 movement spaces. Before you face each obstacle a luck dice will be rolled. All players will have a 1/6th chance of avoiding the obstacle completely. The player that gets the 2nd highest score from the judges on their Riot Racer will get a 1/3rd chance of avoiding obstacles each roll. And the player with the highest scoring Racer will get a 50/50 chance of avoiding obstacles. Winner of the race gets the Star Chart which will grant you 50 XP in any one territory you currently have access to. Cat B: Build a repair pit where you can work on your Riot Racer. You can include the Racer in pictures, but the score will be based off everything but the Racer. Winner gets a Star Chart which grants 25 XP in any one territory you currently have access to. Regardless of where you set your repair pit in the galaxy please title and submit your MOC under the following: Dark Side - M10 Light Side - P7 Mercenaries - S10 Cat C: Show a scene where fans are enjoying the race. They can be in the stands or at a cantina. Winner gets a Star Chart which grants 25 XP in any one territory you currently have access to.

[P6-LS] Joining Blackmoon Squadron

*Your entry has earned 13 XP (S:4, T:4, A:5) + 5 bonus XP for a total of 18XP Lieutenant Seb „Chase“ Koltin Phindar, Demetras Sector, Outer Rim Territories 43:3:16 GrS (9 ABY) After the New Republic’s conquest of the Pyria system, Wing Commander Varth created Blackmoon Squadron, referring to the codename of the planet Borleias during the operation. For his new squadron, which is made up of fresh-off-the-assembly-line E-Wings, the experienced officer recruited mainly pilots with experience in flying Incom vessels for clandestine Rebel Alliance cells in heavily fortified Imperial sectors. Blackmoon Squadron has flown its first missions out of Phindar in the Demetras Sector. In stark contrast to Commander Varth’s reputation, the squadron has only lost a single pilot during the first four standard months of its existence. As a replacement for the fallen squadron member, Seb Koltin, a native of Vondarc and former commercial pilot, has been recommended to Commander Varth. Koltin has combat experience in both the Z-95 and T-65B, having served in Bothan Space and the Tapani sector during the height of the Rebellion. FXT29954 Seb Koltin: Lieutenant Koltin reporting for duty, Commander! Cmdr. Varth: At ease. Welcome to Phindar, Lieutenant, I hope you had an uneventful journey. You’re taking the callsign Blackmoon 9. Simulator training is scheduled daily at 0900 and 1800 hours, unless otherwise specified. Your quarters are in Complex Besh, Room 272. I’ll introduce you to the squadron and our support staff at tonight’s briefing, 2100, conference room Four, Complex Besh. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - For my first ever Eurobricks RPG build, I’ve created the hangar-space for Blackmoon 9 (indicated by the Aurebesh “9” on the floor) at the New Republic base on Phindar, the accompanying E-Wing starfighter, utility towers for mechanics, a mobile refueling tank and a ladder for climbing up into the cockpit.
