ship's so good

I really like how the 2 darker minifigs ended up looking in front of the bright blue stripe

Thank you sir

Thank you! I am excited to be here

also came here to say: big fish, good build.

Thanks, it is very much based off the Pantoran Cruiser from Clone Wars when Chairman Papanoida hunts down Greedo. I just figured since I've never seen a moc of it before, that it would be original enough to qualify for category C of this month's episode. And yes all Pantorans seem to be either this genie, Thrawn, or Aayla Secura haha.

*Your entry has earned 13 XP* The Pantoran people face poverty after the fall of the empire. Having been cut off from longstanding, prosperous trade routes as the Imperial remnants prioritize relationships with other systems, the Pantoran chairman must address his people's decreasing funds and resources in an uncertain time. With little confidence in the young New Republic, and little reply from requests to reopen imperial connections, the Chairman has turned to the only steady and trustworthy power in the galaxy: crime syndicates. Black Sun has agreed to smuggle in resources and establish a trade relationship with the Pantorans if the Chairman will fund a voyage to the dangerous system of Haruun Kal in search of holocrons. Eager at the opportunity to feed his starving people, the Chairman accepts the challenge and heads up the excursion himself. He lands at an outpost on the plateaus of Haruun Kal, seeking a guide to the nearest temple, with a band of rough soldiers hidden away on his Pantoran Cruiser — to avoid the risk of spooking the local residents before his search even begins. Suspicious of the Pantorans’ intentions, will the local Ardennian guide agree to accompany them on their mission? Perhaps, for a price.

This is TC-9, a protocol droid who was property of the Pykes during the reign of the empire. He was largely employed by traveling businessmen for administrative and accounting work and was programmed to be fiercely loyal to the Pyke Syndicate -- even to the point of turning over his direct superiors to the Syndicate in the case of embezzlement or other forms of betrayal. In 10 BBY, he was present at the Kessel mining facility on business during the droid uprising. During this event, his programmed loyalty took precedence over his administrative nature, and he was subsequently directly responsible for the destruction of 28 droids and the deaths of 15 miners as he attempted to put down the rebellion with his metal fists alone. He was severely damaged during his melee rampage, but his head was found in the wreckage in the aftermath of the revolt -- with his memory recordings proving useful to the Pyke Syndicate in determining what had happened at the facility. Impressed with his loyalty and counter-revolutionary efforts, the syndicate upgraded TC-9's body with parts from many of the droids he had destroyed, and he was now used primarily as a guardian protector for elite members of the syndicate. Thinking himself to be the most loyal droid within the nearest 100 systems, he looked down on anyone who dared to defy the order of the galaxy, and failed to understand that his loyalty was only programmed and could be transferred to any other entity. In fact, by the time of the fall of the Empire, his services had been transferred to the Black Sun organization to commemorate their alliance with the Pykes in the Shadow Collective. He dutifully accompanied dignitaries of the organization for travel to ensure their safety, and to ensure the doom of anyone who attempted to get in the way of the Black Sun's goals. His blaster attached to a boom arm was feared in underworld circles -- and in the rare event that his aim missed its target -- he was known to pummel dissidents with his metal fists in a near-life-like rage (earning him the nick name "the chrome wookiee" in some outer rim circles).
