Faction: Socorro Trade Guild Faction Leader: WickNole Headquarters: Socorro Planets: Socorro, Lok (both on grid Q17), Denon (grid N13), Kinyen (grid L15) Official information of Socorro is scarce and says only that a planet located in the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories and that It was the location of asteroid belts with large quantities of doonium ore. Place was the homeworld of Lando Calrissian, Baron Administrator of Cloud City. Alternative sources, however, show a different and much more colorful picture. "If there is a dark side to this galaxy, Socorro is on the hind side of it. Far beyond the notice of dominions large and faceless—where a man's word and the sweat of his brow are worth more than his scrip. This is truly a most splendid place to be." ― Kirr Cyrs We shall not confirm nor deny any of the things said about Socorro. We'll shall only say that there is plenty of jobs to take here, some of which can indeed be illegal. Socorro Trade Guild was once a large conglomerate of traders, adventurers and smugglers from all over the known Galaxy, operating as "free captains". By the end of Galactic Civil War this group was almost ceased to exist. Many have chosen to support the Alliance died in conflict, but even more had left the Guild and joined other organizations. During the Galactic Civil War, Wick had joined one of the ships of the guild. The ship's former captain had ties with the Alliance from the early Rebellion times, so large part of activities were based on some specific targets. There was a number of events and adventures during there three years, but after a Bothawui mission all Wick's crew went into hiding, as there was a specific interest from the Empire in all of them. During this time Wick was able to study the Guild's archives and realized that there are certain objects of a great value which can have a great importance to a New Republic. And for this task, the Guild is to be revived. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Socorro Trade Guild headquarters remain on the Socorro for now, but the captains are not limited to this sector as their base area. Socorro Trade Guild - offers the access to a significant part of the Galaxy. All systems on the Corellian Run, Corellian Trade Spine and Hydian Way are accessible, as well as full grid sectors on the Trielus Trade Run and around Socorro. The chosen symbol is the one of the old days of Republic. For many it does not remind of anything, but for the few who remember - it will show, which side we support. Some technical information on the accessible systems, sectors and trade routes. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Links and contacts: Discord channel: https://discord.gg/tmwpBx

The upcoming weeks will be very busy both due to LEGO and non-LEGO related things... But the MOCs are coming nonetheless. "This is, however, not the hive of scum and villainy you are looking for".

Last mission did not go unnoticed. We were followed. Each our move awaited and met. Each hyperjump tracked. Each hideout ransacked. The team had to split and one had to dig as deep as one could. It was more than a year since my last contact with the Alliance. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Place: Unknown. Year: 4 ABY. Being a scavenger is not easy. But the good news is that noone would ask for your ID. Just find something valuable and bring it to the dealer. This Mobquet M-68 speeder was a piece of art when it was produced. Brought here by some local mobster, probably. He should have paid a fortune for delivery from Corellia. But that was long ago. Before the Empire came here to bring "order". It is a piece of junk now. Even if I find someone interested in it - it'll bee to expensive to fix. The only option now is to look for some valuables inside. If anything is left... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ... then, the comlink had started to beep. *** Incoming message. *** Wick.

Ohh.. I do remember the Raffle two years ago. Was a nice one. And it's always good to have an incentive to work on a new design. Thank you for this.

First of all - thanks, CopMike, for another great raffle event. And, secondly... is there by any chance anyone willing to swap the manatees. Mine is F. PM if interested.

Credits to Bob, please.

Oh... I've missed that E9 is not connected to E10. Need to think what to do. Update: ...and fixed.

Location: F10 Tags: building Terrain: Stony shore -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- "More than a year ago I settled here, looking for a peaceful and remote place." "This was a perfect site to keep the old Octan data-banks safe, and use the place as a base to travel to other remote worlds in search for knowledge and data from these early times of Andromeda colonization." "But one day a ship appeared in the sky. Not many people had known of this place, and even less have survived till now. But I needed to be sure." "One word. Hannibal." -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Some time later... "Long time no see, my old friend. I hope I can be of some help with these." -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Overview of the build:

All my money to Bob, please.

(chapter four was here) Please delete these messages, if possible. Thank you

(chapter three was here)

The Force is strong in this one. Nice to see you back!

(chapter two was here)

Thanks, Cody. Seems that the links were broken. Should be fixed now.

This is the next chapter of Wick Nole's story. Not the one to be proud of, but the one which is sometimes inevitable and necessary. Introduction. [SoNE Freebuild] The Story Begins Chapter 1.

Will contact now and request to return. *** End of message. - Sir, there is an incoming message directly from the ISB. We need to get back and respond as soon as we can. - Proceed without me then. We'll return to the base and see what exactly is wrong with 100138-SQ. He is either very valuable to the Bureau, or very dangerous. In both cases, we'd better get rid of him. I'm glad they are the ones organizing the pick-up. You three, and one trooper - follow me, all other - continue the inspection. I don't want any surprises tomorrow. - Open the gate! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Day 0. Two hours before transfer time. - Team Zulu on position. It is two hours before Lambda class shuttle arrives to the platform in front of us. As the shuttle lands, these blast doors will open and a prisoner will be evacuated. According to the data we have received from local rebel cell, the prisoner is Raav Ib - one of the mid-level Black Sun operatives - who is to be transferred out of here and later interrogated by ISB. With high probability he will be executed thereafter. Our mission here, however, is not to prevent the execution, but to avoid an interrogation. This is not a mission to be proud of, but the one which is sometimes inevitable and necessary. Raav Ib should not leave this planet. - Remember, that we should leave no trace to the Alliance. The assassination should look like an orchestrated murder by the Ib's rivals. Our mission is to prepare and make a single shot. No imperials should be harmed. - According to the intel we've got, the bunker garrison lacks a proper tracking equipment to follow a small fast-flying objects, so these jetpacks will also be our tickets out of here. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Day 0. Time: -00:00:01. *** Outgoing open frequency message. *** We are clear for the shot. This Black Sun scum will pay with his blood for what he did to Talass-Al-Zul. The master will be proud. *** End of message. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Day 0.

Oh wow! Really like the episode, and really like the new gamemaster.

Thanks. :) The thing I'm not satisfied in the pics it the overall image quality. I had to shoot with a very poor light... so lots of editing and noise reduction. So, is the moderators would allow - I'd replace the pics with the same in angle and viewpoint, but better quality images.... if not - 'll do the same after the contest had ended.

This is the next chapter of Wick Nole's story. Introduction. [soNE Freebuild] The Story Begins Chapter 1. [soNE Freebuild] A Fine Delivery Chapter 2. [soNE Freebuild] Unexpected Arrival Chapter 3. [soNE Ep. VII] "Before we leave this planet..." Chapter 4. [soNE Ep. VIII] "This is not the race you are participating in." Chapter 5. [soNE Ep. IX] Gathering Intel Chapter 6. [soNE Ep. X] Counter-attack Chapter 7. [soNE Ep. XI] On their own -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The Alliance is struggling to find any info regarding the latest attempt on master Skywalker. Wick, as many others, is looking for any valuable clues. In search for these, he located one of the former "colleagues", an ugnaught who was once working on a trade barge on Corellia. The "trading" was only a cover, of course - the gang used the place to collect and sell valuable data, plans and blueprints, Imperial rooting schedules for freight ships and military patrols... and many other. Today, the ugnaught was found on one of the docks above Kuat. Judging by the location, the gang was looking to develop a new information sources... This was not of a main interest for Wick, however. The reasons for finding the ugnaught was that he thew some guys who knew some guys who may have known something on droid reprogramming. So it was worth a try. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- out of character notice: I'll see if i could re-do the pictures... but for now - it is what it is.

The "how to" pics.

Oh mine oh mine... That's a thing the Alliance certainly was not expecting. Welcome!

The "Teremok" (can be interpreted as "The House for Animals" / "Little Hut" / "Animal Mansion" etc.) is a Russian fairy tale of forest animals living in a house and able to talk. The animals (from fly and mosquito to fox and wolf) came by the house and started to live there, but one day a bear came and crashed the building, so all the animals were forced to flee and live in the woods since then. (this is one of the versions for this tale, available here - http://russian-craft...little-hut.html, however, in total there are 30+ versions originated from Russia, Belarus and Ukraine) The MOC is made for a contest held on Russian community on www.bricker.ru. Not sure if the thing belongs here of to the historic part of the Forum. Please move to the more appropriate sub-forum if needed. Thank you. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I've tried to test different wall and roof techniques here, and work in a new field. Unfortunately, the figures did not make it to the final build (I did not want to use standard figures with animalistic helmets and tried to do brick-built versions... but failed). Hopefully, the MOC is quite illustrative for the fairy tale as is.

I'm in.
