It's around 6BBY and the rebel brigade attacks an excavation site in the savannah on the planet Isde Naha, held by the Empire. The Imperials are looting forbidden tombs and the rebels - asked by the locals for help - are charging a surprise assault on the intruders. The Imperial Commander is standing his ground, only until the rebel leader Maya Pei arrives with a rebel yell, riding her Thumrak and pushing her brigade to victory. ***** Hello and welcome to my take on the Rebellions-are-built-on-hope - category. The diorama is depicting an assault of the Maya-Pei-Brigade - known from the TV-series Andor. I wanted to show the Rebellion in its rather unorganised stage before the Rebel Alliance came to life. The cells fight the Empire quite independently of each other, guerilla tactics and surprise attacks being their method of choice. In the photograph in 2D, the scene is unfortunately much more busy than in real life, so I included some highlight shots in the panels below. I hope you like how I envisioned the (mentioned-only) leader of the brigade Maya Pei and her crew

Why, it lands on the roof! Just kidding, but that's how I store the model It would require some dedicated infrastructure, yes. Similar to TIEs hanging in a hangar. I guess that's why the F-Wing won't sell well and remains a niche starship in the NRs repertoire But I think the MG-100 StarFortress would suffer from similar obstacles. M...

A GIANT SLAYER Built for the Rebel Alliance by the same manufacturer behind the B-Wing and MG-100 StarFortress Heavy Bomber, the F-Wing seamlessly joins their SF-series of high-Performance starfighters. True to Rebel doctrine, it is versatile, reliable, and designed to counter the Empire’s overwhelming numbers with precision and firepower. Designed as a capital ship buster, the F-Wing is engineered to withstand heavy broadside fire during its approach. Its reinforced hull, superior shielding, and surprising maneuverability allow it to navigate intense battlefields with irresistible efficiency. To disrupt enemy targeting, the F-Wing is equipped with quadrupole jammers, forcing hostile gunners to rely on visual tracking alone—a crippling disadvantage against such small targets. Offensively, the F-Wing is pure devastation. A heavy ion cannon disables enemy shields, while its five laser cannons swiftly eliminate fighters and gunships. When negotiations for surrender fail, its arsenal of heavy proton torpedoes goes live—unleashing a shattering volley capable of obliterating even the largest Imperial warships. ***** Hello and welcome to my asymmetric ship entry for the contest. The ship design is heavily inspired by Jason Hazelroths F-Wing fanon starfighter. Check out his original work at Artstation! https://jasonhazelroth.artstation.com/projects/d89nqQ Here some additional images without the fuzz

Thank you, guys! Appreciate it!

Hello and welcome to my entry for the Crew-category . It turned out to be a very colorful cartoonish group with all the characters having their respective color Check out the bios of the characters here: K'naz– Ex-Gladiator You wouldn’t believe it, but K’naz is the muscle of the Vulture’s crew. This scarred Kassk once fought for survival in the pits of Nar Kreeta, where blood and steel ruled. With Manj Valtura’s help, he escaped—and has remained his loyal companion ever since. Beneath the battle-hardened armor and fearsome glare, K’naz hides a surprisingly sensitive soul. But when fists fly, he wields a repulsor-enhanced hammer, delivering devastating blows beyond even his extraordinary strength. His only weakness? He's always hungry! Szizk– Melitto Ronin Once a tenured guard of the Ashiga Clan’s weapon factories on frozen Kijimi, Szizk stood on the wrong side of a power struggle—and paid the price. Exiled, cast out from her hive, she drifted, lost in depression, severed from the warmth of her kind. Manj offered her refuge aboard the Vulture, and though she sees them as nothing more than a substitute hive, she’s slowly warming up to the crew. Reserved, distant, but invaluable, Szizk is their blaster expert, her knowledge of rifles unmatched. Curd Tulpritt– Zeltron Gambler The enfant terrible of the gang, Curd is a chaotic force—eccentric, emotional, and always dragging the crew into trouble. A notorious gambler, he loves to bet on races. Flirtatious and shameless, he constantly pursues Josara, the only woman seemingly immune to his charm and pheromones. The crew is furious with him—after all, it was Curd who recklessly lost their ship, the Neon Vulture, in a Sabacc game. Manj "Vulture" Valtura– Twi'lek Soldier of Fortune The captain of the outcasts, Manj is the glue holding this crew together. A former servant to the Hutts, he managed to escape their grasp, but with a bounty on his head, he’s always on the run, chasing the next big payday. A little bit eccentric, Manj won't turn down even doubtful jobs, like the transport of an incubator with three obscure, hanging eggs, ready to hatch. Always on his side? His pet lizard Frenk! Right now, Manj is angry at Curd for losing the Neon Vulture, but not too much—after all, it was Curd who won it in the first place. Fiercely protective, Manj keeps his crew moving—because standing still is never an option. Josara "Josi" O'Benti– The Mechanic Dreamer Once a prized captive of Trandoshan slavers, Josara was about to be sold to the Hutts—until Manj intervened, saving her but earning himself a high bounty in the process. A young Togruta orphan, she owes him everything. Among the crew, Josi finally feels at home. Though she’s a talented mechanic, she still has much to learn. A dreamer, optimist, and the crew’s ray of sunshine, she believes—deep down—that Manj will lead them to fortune. ***** The piece count for side-builds is 98:

Great crew and lovely characters! The only thing: You may need to remove one as the rule says 5 crew members max.

Hello, I have my own creation of custom stickers that I'd like to use. It would be graffiti, a syndicate logo and posters for a wall. Would it be ok for the contest?

Giving up what? The game has like 2 active players. Yet again you declare another war. To whom, I have to ask? Yperio left and I have my focus elswhere for now. I mean I embraced the challenge in L9 at that time and responded with adequate builds and scores. Was fun but you know I had to intervene for the sake of the game and the few players we were at that time. The threat of losing players due to aggressive play was already imminent there. I enjoy your builds and dedication to the battling aspect of the game, but for now, no one will respond...

Your Coronet micro build is fantastic! you're on fire @Professor Thaum But you know, there won't be a response from the LS anytime soon DS should have closed that P10 Rorgam Mysteries story arc when the game was still somewhat running, imho

Hey TripleSeven, thanks for this little reference Your build is awsome as a whole and the story enjoyable. I really like the platform. If this is really 5ABY, then I'm really curious about that Vader-guy Or do the Wind Raiders play before the Empire's fall?

Very nice speeders! And I quite like the terrain as well! The transition from plates to snot

Thank you very much

Thank you very much, to both of you Good one Actually, I don't have a full-blown backstory for the yellowish river. It just looked interesting on the Castle Vonreg miniature and I kept the color for the interior too. The origin of the color is a mystery. Maybe some algae or bacteria? I imagined it as being somewhat viscous, like Geller said:

Thank you!

Wow, thanks for the praise! Uh-oh. I should have had in mind you were waiting for Rax to be released from the story. I didn't think of that. Sorry. You can use him in your builds again. Please don't mind continuity too much here. I don't want to hold you back. It will take some time (and story builds) until I will really show the council

Thank you, @Max_Lego I appreciate you like the statue! Hehe

Thank you very much

Raiders of the Lost Art - A Star Wars Mysteries Story Chapter Overview with Link: Dramatis Personae: ******* Chapter 20 - Dungeons beneath Castle Conreg << to previous chapter of Raiders of the Lost Art In the meantime of events on the starliner Atrisia, the small Republic team on imperial planet Acorvus managed to sneak past the security outside of Castle Vonreg. The team lead by Arthemias Bolt entered the stronghold through the river outlet and now wades through the flooded dungeons, looking for a way inside the castle above... » Everything okay, buddy? « » Nah... 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. We're almost there. « » Where is there? These tunnels are like a maze. « » We are looking for a - a there it is. You see the hatch? « » Dank Farrik. The hatch is magnetically sealed. « » T-There! There is something in the yolky water! « » Only your imagination, laser brain. « » Rietta is infiltrating the security tower at the outskirts of the castle. She should be in position right now... « Rietta, please come in. We need you to unlock hatch number A-four-seven immediately! « » Rietta here. Patience, my friends. These server shafts are made for hovering techno-droids not for my species. « » I 'ave a bad feeling about this! « » Bllouuaaarrrghhhhh « » I told you! Shoot it! Shoot it!« » If we start shooting, we'll alarm the whole castle! « » Rietta?!? « » Hatch control override. You have access now. I have spoken. « » Grrwwwaaaghhlloouughhh« » Move, move, move! « to next chapter >> ********************** Hello and welcome to these two chapters 19 and 20. As they happen in parallel at different locations of the galaxy, I decided to post them together Hope you enjoy them!

Raiders of the Lost Art - A Star Wars Mysteries Story Chapter Overview with Link: My other stories and builds: Dramatis Personae: ******* Chapter 19 - Encounters on the Promenade Deck << 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. 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

I absolutely agree, Max. The word controversial is used in the intro of the Wikipedia article about her: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leni_Riefenstahl I should have written inspired very, very, very loosely. Actually only by the premise of an actress entertaining a tyrant regime. Neither did I intend to offend anyone, nor to downplay the historical persons' deeds. On the contrary.

Thanks! I have not expected the plant to be a secret highlight Thanks again In fact, Dzenia Moone would be inspired very loosely by the historical, controversial actress and director Leni Riefenstahl, who was a darling of the Nazi regime. In Dzenias case, I imply between the lines, that she were unpolitical and just enjoyed fame and money, not really noticing the opression of the officials of the regime she entertained. It speaks for her favor, that she did not turn in her husband Stephim, when she found out about his "underground work". I liked the idea of Palpatine sending away his lickspittles to watch his favorite show. I mean, he cannot sit on his throne all day and do what he do when shown in the movies or shows, like plotting Sith things... does, he anytime have to go to the toilett, btw?

Ah yes, I didn't see this The contest category was more fun than expected. I can relate

What a great way of staging your minifigs with those round bases! Each is lovely and unique. I can't really tell which setup is the most appealing. Agent 007 Rox looks so cool stepping over the stormie. And the hookah of that lady is looking awsome. The senator under those wimples looks nice too. The shrine of that meditating Jedi is well executed. It has an far east touch and the scene conveys peace very convincingly. And the butterflies always strike in any of your mocs ! All in all, from combining minifig parts point of view, I'd say, the hookah lady is the best Btw, have you purposely chosen all humans here?

Sure! A warm welcome to you as well! Feel free to ask for help in getting started. The veterans here will be happy to support

*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:
