Lord Tyrus

After flying around the galaxy for just over a month, Imperial Survey Corps soldier, Lord Tyrus, had finally been told he might have some luck in delivering his 'thank you' message on Mon Calamari. He had absolutely no idea why. Who (apart from the natives, of course) would want to go to that planet? A ball of rock covered to every inch in water. The only way to travel across the planet to the few and far between floating cities was either by boat or by submarine. Apparently speeders didn't work as the repulsorlifts couldn't repel properly on water, but he highly doubted that, as he'd driven his old speeder across lakes on his home planet. That seemed like a lifetime ago. Now he hardly remembered it. He wanted to actually see something other than water so he hired a mini-sub from a Mon Calamari dealer, just by the floating landing platform he landed his shuttle on, to try and see some underwater fauna. That particular sub had large, ovoid windows on either side of it with a good view of the wildlife. He checked the distance from the closest city on the range-finder by the window that enabled him to get the necessary data he needed, without having to go to the main cockpit. There was only a few hours before they got there. He sighed. By speeder, he could go more that 5 times the 50 kph the sub could manage. He didn't bother to ask the Stormtrooper behind him why he was waving. He had got fed up with them after just 10 standard minutes with them. By now, he had just decided to pretend they weren't there, which he would have given an arm and a leg for it to be true. If had looked around, he would have seen trooper 27491 swimming around desperately, trying to escape the jaw of a shark. Trooper 44783, seemed to have not noticed the shark and was just waving at him. Lord Tyrus sighed again. He was nearly at the city now, he just hoped Fett was still there... And a bonus picture: And for the rest of the story, look below...

Thanks for the feedback, but my Felucia build is long gone, so I doubt I will be able to edit it. Thanks!

I love the use of the alien clinger!

Nice to see a 'real' entry from you, I love all the colour!

Sorry if this has already been asked, but can we build it in the style of a particular minifigure from a certain theme? Like based off one of the collectable minifigures from the line (with the same name)?

Aha, great to see another Felucia build, even if it is a rebel entry! nice to see someone else use aerials upside-down and at an angle, like mine.

Thanks! I did put the owl in as a sort of 'easter egg', a bit of fun, I didn't mean it to fit in. Thank you! Thank you, I don't have a Splinter head, which I need to get round to getting at some point, so I used what I had. I don't think it looks too bad. Thank you, I wanted to make it clear this was Bothawui. High praise indeed! The 'greebles' are meant to be communication aerials and other techy bits. A Bothawui build from you would be fantastic!

After weeks of walking round in circles and trying his best to put up with troopers 27491 and 44783 constant arguing about the rarity of certain plants and flowers, Lord Tyrus couldn't find any evidence of Boba Fett and if he had actually landed, it would take a completely insane person to stay on Felucia for more than a couple of days. Lord Tyrus decided stopping on Bothawui to try and find him. He was fairly skilled with computer and holo tech, and he planned to find a fairly empty, out of the way spy centre so he could quietly hack into the many satellites and cameras traced on the planet's landing platforms to see if Boba was parked there. He needn't have worried, as the whole planet was dotted with spy centres. Apparently the planet was a galactic 'hotspot', which made the thousands of aerials and dishes work so well. He found an older centre, built a few hundred years ago, when people actually bothered to build nice buildings rather than big concrete squares, and checked to see that no one was around. There was one Bothan, presumably the caretaker, who was sitting under a leafy tree. He was asleep, with a large bottle of Bothan rosé in his hand. Apart from him, the place was empty. He continued up the stony path, only glancing at the caretaker's veggie plot, before he pressed the button to open the door. He walked through it, with trooper 27491 behind, but didn't know 44783 wasn't with him. If he'd have looked behind, he'd have seen trooper 44783 sneakily grab the bottle and slip it under his arm... Once in the building, he walked passed the door to the caretaker's quarters and into the tech room. It didn't take him long to find out that Boba had landed a few days ago, on platform 3379. He also discovered that the bounty hunter had left just hours ago, on a trip to Ord Mantell. "Here we go again..." He murmured. Can a mod please remove the bit saying '...and the best bothan' in the title.

Don't worry, I'm just posting my Bothawui build now... Update to my Felucia And my Bothawui build

Does sound fun.. And a whole month to do it... Ok, I'll try my best to enter!

Love the story, all of the are brilliant on their own, but together they really shine!

These are brilliant, I especially like the escort cruiser!

Thanks for the feedback, and I must say I agree with all of your points. I have just rebuilt my Felucia, in 16x16, with a dark tan floor and with more of the same plants. I should be able to post it in the next day or two, and I will be interested to find out which versions you guys prefer. I personally prefer my 16 by 16 one. Thank you! Haha, yes, I have got a few things planned for these troopers to get up to!

Nice! I like the flowers, although I feel it is a little bare in places .

Thanks! I sort of wanted a semi - crowded feel, and from the looks of things, it seems I succeeded! Thank you, I appreciate the feedback.

Got my first entry up: Felucia.

Thank you!

Thanks, although I like the red, it is the colour I have the most 2x2 tiles in. Thanks! Don't worry, it's gonna be eaten, on the floor or not! Greedy troopers. :moar: Thank you! Larry was ALMOST perfect for Imperial barman, though he has a TINY strip of yellow... Edit: Could I have this judged and given xp please?

Lord Tyrus had finally managed to haul his two lazy troopers out of the Avenger's troops' bar and into his standard issue Imperial Survey Corps shuttle to make their way to Felucia. Felucia was beautiful. He'd thought Endor was pretty, but it didn't compare to Felucia's glowing foliage and plants. But he wasn't here to do standard issue Imperial Survey Corps work, he was tasked with delivering a 'thank you' note. From Vader. Apparently the great lord of the Sith still hadn't heard of email, let alone Holo Messaging. But Lord Tyrus didn't dare question his superior. He soon found one of the many paths criss-crossing the planet's surface, dating from the Clone Wars. He'd yet to encounter the many wreckages left from the many battles there and he was glad about it. It was refreshing to be away from fighting for a bit. He looked down at the piece of paper in his hand. It read simply: 'Thanks! From Darth.'. How stupid. He was being sent around the galaxy looking for the legendary bounty hunter, Boba Fett, to deliver a tiny scrap of paper with three words on it. He took a deep breath and remembered that he should enjoy this freedom. No orders, no fighting and no pesky Rebels to deal with. He had no personal issue with the Rebels, but his superiors did, and his superiors were the ones putting the cash into Tyrus' pocket. The much needed cash. He looked over at his men behind him. They had stopped he walked. He walked back to see them sniffing flowers! He head their conversation: "Look at this little hydishua potorum, Joe. The north-east side of Felucia is the only place they grow in the whole galaxy, they won't grow anywhere else!" "Whoa Stan, that's amazing!" "And that smell, sniff it." "Lovely! Hang on, if it's so rare, why d'ya pick it?! Isn't it illegal or something?" "Well the Emperor don't give two dead banthas whether a species goes extinct or not, in fact, he probably encourages it in the case of aliens. He is such a xenophobe." "Okay, but let me have one as well, it would look very good frozen in carbonite." Suddenly both troopers stiffened up, or rather got into a slightly less slouchy slouch; Lord Tyrus had turned round. "Come on, get moving, we haven't got all day," he said. Both troopers sighed. "And I did hear you. I'll deal with you later." Both of the troopers started walking again. The group was only a few hundred metres from the refuelling station where Boba was thought to land to refuel. Lord Tyrus sincerely hoped this was where his mission was to end. Constant fighting was better than putting up with troopers 27491 and 44783... Old Version:

Just got a freebuild posted, the only one (so far) that I have had chance to finish before the episode ended!

Follow Lord Tyrus's job as postman: 1: Coffee Tastes Better With Milk 2: The Sweet Smell of Flowers Lord Tyrus sighed. When he received news of his promotion to the Imperial Survey Corps, he expected to be flying around the galaxy in relative luxury, exploring previously undiscovered planets and spreading Imperial law and order to primal civilizations. He did not expect to be hanging around the troopers' canteen, watching 2 soldiers of the supposedly most well trained and efficient army in galactic history to finish their 'lunch', so they could accompany him on messenger duty. He highly doubted that they weren't doing it on purpose, testing their new superior's patience. He also suspected that they were 'hand-me-downs' from a higher ranking officer. At any rate, he was soon to find out that their accuracy with a knife and fork was incredibly good, when compared to their accuracy with a blaster. He looked around the room at the scout troopers paying for beverages with their galacticards. Then he looked at the menacing, black drinks machine the barman was filling the drinks from. It contrasted starkly with the rest of the brightly coloured room, but fitted in perfectly with the rest of the Star Destroyer's colour scheme. Apparently, the machine had been discovered by a scout group, tasked with exploring the planets of an unpronounceable solar system. According to the diary found next to the machine, it had been created in the Dark Age of Technology, when there was a galactic shortage of cows and when the citizens of that age had forgotten how bad coffee tasted without milk. The particular man that had built the machine was the only man old enough to remember that coffee had once tasted a lot better with milk than it did without. He spent many years making a machine that could make white coffee. Unfortunately, he had had a heart attack just before he could swallow the first cup of white coffee the galaxy had seen for 100 years. The only reason the crazy device had been pressed into Imperial use was because it could (completely unknown to the creator) make any other beverage in the galaxy, in past, present or future. It had instantly been a favourite among the troops of the Avenger, but it had been kept a secret to everyone else (except Darth Vader, who was partial to a glass of wine from time to time). The canteen had also been implemented with refill machines, linked directly to the main machine, and the one at table 2 was in very high use indeed. Finally Lord Tyrus had had enough after the 5th burger had found its way into Stormtrooper 27491's mouth and the 9th beer had sloshed its way down trooper 44783's throat. He slipped out the pocket holo from his trouser leg and keyed in for control to make a request for different troops. But even after 20 minutes of almost silent conversation, he had got nowhere; there were simply no more troops to spare and he had been unlucky. It was up to him to discipline the troops in his command. He sighed again. Maybe he'd get a drink, then go to bed and sort them out tomorrow. He wasn't going to the front for a while, he should probably relax a bit. A simple mission searching for Boba Fett couldn't be to bad, even with fat, drunk troopers, could it? And a view without 'figs: I would like this judged please.

Well my fingers are crossed!

Fantastic, thanks! I already built a freebuild but I wasn't sure whether it would be allowed or not.

Does that mean we hae another years worth of episodes?

Just 2 questions, I presume we are still allowed our 4 freebuild slots on top of our main entries, and can we continue our search for Boba in them? And if we get xp for the freebuilds, will that mean we could build on more planets for the episode? (if we got enough xp to build on another planet?) Nearly forgot to say, another great episode, thanks!
