*Your entry has earned 16 XP* The 853rd were tasked with defending a strategic outpost on the snow covered world of Orto Plutonia. Everything was going normal within the Outpost, when com chatter from patrols began to cut out. CT-6291 was able to make it back to the outpost, and warn the rest of the 853rd of the impending droid assault. Every man went to their battle station, men climbed into the trenches, manned their E-Webs, and prepared to stare death straight in the eye. As sirens began to blare, Captain Quain knew this might be the end for him and his company. The 853rd stood their ground as the thum, thum, thum of the advancing droid army grew louder, and louder, and louder. There was an eerie silence for a moment or two, the company looked round at each other, questioning the strange silence. But the droids were surely not gone, merely stopped. The hangar doors lie open, the chilling breeze blew in snow from the outside, most definitely sending shivers down the spine of every clone lying in wait. The thum, thum, thum resumed just as quickly as it had ended, and the droids were now visible at the end of the hangar. The clones didn’t shoot though, neither did the droids, this silence did not last long however, as one trooper on the E-Web opened fire, and complete chaos ensued. The sheer quantity of the advancing droids were no match for the superior skilled clones. And many members of the 853rd were wiped out in this initial engagement. The last members of the 853rd hurried down the hallways of the outpost as they began to become boxed in. As soon as the surviving members made it outside of the outpost, seeing the possibility to escape right in front of them, a droid gunship landed roughly 50 meters out, and there seemed to be no espace. CT-9862 “Fixer” hopped on the E-Web and began firing, while the squad’s medic, “Rando” made an all out push towards the advancing clankers. As this chaos unfolded, Quain got an incoming trans omission from the nearby base, several LAATs were en route to their location, and Quain knew if he could just hold on for a little longer.... two more droid gunships landed. The end was near. Quain ordered for an all out push, he would either barely make it out, or die 7 ABY: After being rerouted from Ilum to Orto Plutonia, the crew finds the back entrance of an abandoned republic outpost, a battle must have occurred here. This outpost could be of great use to the Imperial Triumvirate. Thank y’all for looking! Sorry I really had to rush this at the end so sorry if some parts look really rushed.

Oh it’s beautiful.... Great stuff Sim.

Thanks! I really appreciate it!

Thank you! I tried to get as many little details as I could within the space.

I know! Can’t depart before doing our duties 😉

Yes, I definitely should’ve had the build first, and I guess I did want to include a lot of elements 😅, but you know stuff can get crammed on our home world of Kalist VI as everyone prepares for expeditions so who knows 🤷🏼‍♂️.

Wow dude! That’s so detailed, really great design, I’m just so, so impressed, well done!

Thanks man, I really tried to get the atmosphere with this one!

That looks really good! The guiding design is simple, yet pulled off very nicely, and of course the center piece being the droid is phenomenal, super unique! A few nitpicks: The rockwork could be improved upon I think, but for so little space for the rockwork, it’s not bad, and maybe the terrain could’ve been changed a bit, maybe since the droid is coming from the direction you could’ve tiled everything off except the area behind where “footprints” would be. Once again those are nitpicks so overall this is a really great build! Well done!

Thank you! That was actually a last minute addition fig so I’m glad you like it 😅

Great figs Jan! I like the stories too, and your sig is superb, but I guess I’ve already told you all this stuff on the TT discord. Great work!

Yeah I remember Bjorn talking bout the pic with all the figs, but it was just getting late here, and I rely on natural light a lot for my photos. I also could’ve used something else for the hologram, I was just trying to use Bjorn’s technique by using upside down stuff, but I didn’t have the same piece, so it just didn’t turn out right, and I’ve gotten mostly positive feedback on the rubber bands (supposed to be wires if you don’t know), but thank you for letting me know, different perspectives are always good :) .

Very nice build! You captured the imperial aesthetic nicely, and incorporated tons of small, fun little details. Your build actually helped inspire me for my Cat. A, so thank you! I have one small complaint, I’m not a fan of the open visor where you can see his face, and I feel the blue color doesn’t really fit, but that’s just one fig though so overall really great job!

Thanks mate! I really appreciate that.

*Your entry has earned 8 XP* Mar Berick log entry 1: The CorSec has been harassing us here on Devaron for quite some time now... I’ve lost track of the days, weeks, months. Who knows. We were loading up supplies into my Hover Tank, arms, munitions, you name it. Another bunker, maybe 30 clicks north, had been being attacked for the past few days, it brought in a request for supplies, and we immediately started loading up. We were loading up when all of a sudden blaster fire erupted all around us, and immediately after, my life flashed before my eyes as my Hover Tank exploded into a blazing inferno. Luckily, no supplies had been in the Hover Tank when it blew up, however, we were now under heavy fire from the front. Stationed at our bunker was a squad of stormtroopers, and a few army soldiers, we had some ground crewmen as well as a few ncos, including myself. As soon as the attack started the army units were out in the trenches, and the stormtroopers who weren’t out patrolling the grounds came rushing out of the bunker, it was so chaotic at that moment. Captain Foss sent in an immediate request for assistance, this was a complete distress call, calling for any units in the area. The ground-crewman on the radar was taken out, so I had to take his place, we were barely able to send the signal through. While all of this was happening, Sgt. Rq’dawh was the ordering all supplies be evacuated from the area, my gunner, Loshan, was hauling out the munitions while the stormtroopers provided covering fire. We were able to send the signal through, and a few TIE-fighters from the same base we were supposed to send supplies to, were able to come in and provide strafing runs on the advancing CorSec units. Casualties: 1 ground crewmen, 1 army soldier, 2 stormtroopers Mar Berick: “We gotta man down! I’m taking the radar!” Sgt. Rq’dawh: “Get those supplies out of here! Now!” Unknown stormtrooper: “Roger that sir!”

*Your entry has earned 3 XP* Sgt. Trench’s log 136: “We had been tracking this smuggler for a few days now. He had no idea we were on to him. We went through Gorse city, busted up a dealing in progress of Refined Thorilide, we captured three of them but the rest escaped with the Refined Thorilide. The three gang members we caught were interrogated, they were more than willing to cooperate, these savage gang members never cared for anyone, only the money. I maneuvered my platoon through the Highground, the terrain was difficult, I lost a man on the way up. We got up to the designated location, we quickly took the building, the Refined Thorilide was there, but the criminals were not, we assumed they escaped on speeder bikes, not wishing the trouble they would have inflicted on themselves if they were to have escaped with the Refined Thorilide.” Dialogue during scene: Sgt. Trench: “Open up! Give up the Thorilide now or face the consequences.”

My name is Mar Berick, I had been fighting for about 2 years, I joined as soon as I was old enough, but then, during the battle of Endor, I had heard word of the New Republic attack, I was one of the few logistics specialists on Endor at the the time, while en route to a nearby bunker to drop off supplies, we came under Ewok attack, that’s how I got my scar. I have always been loyal to the empire, and I knew I could not give up on them so quickly, that why I stayed with the Triumvirate. Long. Live. The Empire.
