Well At Least One Fixing to Clear the Mind Thermal Detonator Pot-Pie Focus Torturous Trial The Escape The Calamity Star Hyperdrive Repairs Motivating the Troops Kuati Spaceport A Friend of a Friend "Again!" shouted Bryce. He and MKJoshA had been training for weeks. Like the rest of Viqi's residence of service, even the training room was elaborate. Josh's first day of training had begun with a question, "WOW! Are those real lightsabers? Where did you get them and why hasn't the Empire taken them from you?" "Do you want to train?" asked Bryce. Josh, realizing his excitement was a little premature just hung his head. "Do you want to avenge your brother and learn to take down a Mandalorian?" Josh stayed silent, his anger at what the Mando had done to his brother welling up inside him. "Then you can ask a question only after you first land a hit on me. Let's begin." The first chance Josh had to ask a question was a week later. Bryce was a hard teacher, but his lessons were effective. When Josh finally scored his first hit with their training staves, he asked "Do you know how to wield a lightsaber?" "Knowing how to use one and knowing how to wield one are two different things" began Bryce. "I can turn the blade on, I can use it to cut your arms off. But to truly master it I would have to be a Jedi. Only a Jedi can effectively learn to use such a weapon." "Why is that?" asked Josh. "That is another question" said Bryce and their training continued. Over the next few days Josh improved quickly and got the answers to many more question. Bryce told him, "What most people don't realize when they think about using a lightsaber is that the handle is the heaviest part of the weapon. As the blade is made of light, it weighs nothing. A normal being would sooner cut their own limbs off than effectively use a lightsaber in a fight. Only a Jedi has the danger sense needed to avoid harming themselves when wielding it." Josh also learned that being a former Senator had its perks. One of which included the Empire not snooping into her private collection of "artifacts" when the Jedi purge happened which allowed Senator Lysani to keep her small collection of old lightsabers. Josh asked if Kale had gotten his lightsaber from this collection. "I do not know where your friend acquired his," said Bryce. "But there are many such cache's of Jedi artifacts across the galaxy. Your friend must have connections with someone else who has similar tastes to the Senator." Finally, after 2 months of training Bryce told Josh he was ready. "You have learned everything you can from me. Your senses are more attuned to your surroundings, your reflexes are improved, and your knowledge of all combat maneuvers is impressive. If you go after this Mandalorian, you will be able to beat her in a fair fight and even an unfair one. But you must remember what I taught you. As you are fighting you will be taken to a cliff's edge. Better men than you have come to that cliff and fallen off. If you allow your anger to be your driving reason for fighting in that moment you will fall and you will become the very kind of person you are trying to destroy. But if you fight for justice, you will face that edge, understand its dangers, and will come back from it." OoC: Trying some more lighting effects. Not super thrilled, but it kind of worked.

See the rest of the story: Season 1 Season 2 Junker's Fee Welcome to Fondor Fondor City Nightlife Many Bothans Died... Well At Least One Fixing to Clear the Mind Thermal Detonator Pot-Pie Focus Torturous Trial The Escape The Calamity Star Hyperdrive Repairs Motivating the Troops Kuati Spaceport A Friend of a Friend Coming Back From the Edge After leaving Kuat, it had taken Kale and I weeks to track down the first lead on the Mandalorian bounty hunter that had killed my brother. Turns out there were a lot of Mandalorians who had a beef with the Empire so the list of those who were on record as killing stormtroopers was pretty long. We narrowed that list down to those who had been known to be on Fondor when my brother died. We ended up on Naboo of all places. Turns out the queen there was sympathetic to the Mandalorian's vendetta against the Empire and allowed them to come and go freely from a number of space ports as long as they didn't cause any trouble. Kale went out to investigate our next lead while I went out to get some supplies. When I got back to our quarters, I found a note saying "they" had Kale hostage and if I wanted to see him alive I'd meet them at the attached coordinates. I left in a hurry, taking only the beskar blade I had received from Bryce after I finished my training with him. "We know you've been hunting one of our own," stated the woman with red hair. "Your clumsy attempts to track us have alerted the Empire to a number of our operations." MKJoshA just stayed quiet, waiting to see what their demands were going to be. He could tell Kale was bad off and didn't want to say anything rash that would lead to more harm. "We've already taught your friend the dangers of being on our bad side," continued the woman. "Leave us alone, never try to track us again, and we will let you and your friend go." Josh looked around and could see he was vastly outnumbered. But he had come all this way and it seemed like he had finally stumbled onto what he had been looking for so he decided to press his luck. "If you've been watching me, you know why I'm here. You know I want vengeance on the Mandalorian who killed my brother. If he is here, I challenge him to single combat!" The Mandalorians on the ground looked at each other and the woman spoke again, "I don't think you understand your position here. You don't get to make demands. Leave us or you and your friend die." Just then a Mando flew down from the roof top. "I'm the one your looking for," the blonde one said. "So," thought Josh, "it wasn't a he, it was a she!" "I killed your brother" continued the blonde. "He died without honor as all Imperials should. But you, you show honor by seeking to avenge him. I will give you the privileged of dueling me and dying with honor." Josh could tell she didn't expect him to be a match for her. But she didn't know he had trained for this moment with all his passion. Their blades locked and the combat began. Again and again their swords met and just as often they released and each combatant twirled away looking for a weak spot in his/her opponent. The Mando slashed wide and Josh took advantage of it, twisting her blade out of her hand and driving her the ground. The other Mandalorians quickly raised their guns and trained them on Josh. "Do it," she said. "You've beat me fairly. Kill me and take your vengeance." "No," replied Josh. "Killing you won't bring my brother back." Josh wanted justice, and he still wanted to turn the Mando into the authorities to answer for her murder. He knew he and Kale wouldn't be allowed to leave if he demanded this though. "One bridge at a time" he thought. "I just had the chance to kill my brother's murderer, and turned back from the edge. Now I need to figure out how to get out of here alive." But he still stretched out his hand to the blonde Mando to help her to her feet. But as he was pulling her up, a blaster shot rang out. Josh saw the Mando falling backwards, clearly dead before she hit the ground. He dove out of the way, not wanting to be the next victim. The ensuing firefight between the Stormtroopers and the Mandalorians left a number of dead Mandos and put the rest to flight. Josh was helped to his feet by the Imperials. "Are you alright sir?" asked the lead Stormtrooper. "We received intel that there was Mandalorians in the area and we were sent to erradicate the problem before any civilians were hurt. Looks like we got here just in time." Josh couldn't believe his luck, the Imperials didn't recognize him as a Rebel! "Tha... tha... thank you!" Josh said trying to sound sound like a worried, loyal member of the Empire. "Think nothing of it sir," answered the trooper. "It looks like your friend here needs medical attention, would you like me to call in medical support?" "No, you've done enough" said Josh, "I'll get him to the med-center myself." "Very good," said the trooper. "We'll continue our eradication of these scum." As the Imperials moved out, Josh reflected on what had just happened. His brother's murderer was dead, but not by his own hand. Kale was okay and would be back on his feet soon. And they had both just narrowly escaped another run-in with the Empire. Josh didn't know what this all meant, and he didn't know what was next. But he felt like this chapter of his life had closed. He may not know what was next, but he was pretty sure the Alliance would have something to say about it.

----- Freebuild; M = Monty Python; S = Sid Bass; W = Wedar Sitherius; T = Trevor Devington ----- You won't believe it. I was promoted. They said I'm an army commander now. That means I got my own office and my work is less dangerous. If you don't count bounty-hunting, ofcourse. I called Sid to share a pint or two with me ... M: Well, that's it. That's my new office. What do you think about it? S: Well, it looks nice. But don't become soft and weak, I'll still need you for a couple of missions. M: Yeah, yeah, don't worry. Tell me, what would you like to drink?

May the force be with you. ----- Please, score this freebuild.

Personnel Files: Currently, on Tatooine... I'm innocent, you Imperial goons! I have no idea what you are talking about! We've intercepted transmissions from your home detailing Imperial patrol movements in your neighborhood. While we don't know exactly who the intended recipients of these transmissions are, we do know the only reason why someone would send them is to help the Rebellion organize against us. It wasn't me! I've been framed! We'll let the interrogation droid determine that. TK-8554, hold on. Sir? See, see?! Listen to your commander! She knows I'm telling the truth! It's time for your initiation. Heh. Initiation? What's going to happen is that this Rebel sympathizer scum is going to resist arrest. And in the ensuing struggle, you are going to put a blaster bolt through him. Then we will leave his decrepit corpse here to desiccate and mummify as a warning to others who might think of betraying the Empire. And in my report, I will state how well you handled your first assignment. Wait...I'm just an old man! You can't do this! YOU FIEND! <pew> Congratulations, "Fiend". And welcome to Razer Squad. All comments and criticisms welcome!

I quickly found Geonosian's garage. He wasn't inside. Time to visit Ord Mantell again! Please, judge this freebuild.

New target. Yes it's time to claim another bounty. It's a Geonosian. He should be in his garage on Fondor. I don't know where it is. So I'll ask someone if he knows. -Hello, can you spare me some time, please? -Yes ofcourse, what is it? -I'm looking for a Geonosian who goes by the name of Alfred. Perhaps you could know his destination? -Yes, yes. His garage is the third one in sector F, 5 minutes from here. -Thank you very much! -Your welcome. Oh, another thing. He may not be there, I think he went to visit his uncle on Ord Mantell. -I'll go and see anyway. Thank you again! -You're welcome! Please, judge this freebuild.

Alliance was once again defeated by the Empire. Our forces had to flee from Kuat. But, I was also promoted to the SpecOps. They sent me to one of the neutral planets, where I would locate a small hangar. There is waiting a group of mercenaries, who are cooperating with the Alliance. I have to join them and then wait for further orders. Wellcity is just another of billion metropolas in space. But it wasn't hurt by the war so it still looks clean and peaceful. But the group I have to find is waiting for me in the old part of the town. Which is not that clean and peaceful. But still, being on a neutral planet is great. Computer says that the target is just beneath me. Time to land! Please, judge this freebuild.

[bH - Geonosian] Disarmed Location: Ord Mantell We landed on Ord Mantell at around 6 am. Our connection said, that target owns a small piece of land in the eastern corridor, section B12, small part in the north-western region. The part with largest population of wild Savrips. We have to took some more serious weapons with us. Unprepaired Geonosian is a easy task. But if we'd had to beat a Savrip or two, well, that would bring some troubles. We left the ship in one of the secured hangars. You can never be to sure. I was very eager to complete the task. False informations made us fly to a lot of planets before we heard that our target's hiding on Fondor. This was true but unfortunately he left two days before we got there. Luckily we got new informations and now we're here. Monty was nervous. He was on Ord Mantell before so he knows it's a dangerous place. And it's even more dangerous when you're hunting someone. You can quickly become the hunted one. But so far everything seemed to be okay. He and his partner in this mission, Sid Bass were approaching the target. Locator said they're only 50 metres away. They quickly got there. "Sid, I think we're too late" said Monty. "Really? What makes you think that" replied Sid. "Well," said Monty, "I believe this mission is accomplished. But who could do something like this?" Sid smiled and said: "Have you ever seen a savrip before?" "Yes ..." said Monty. "I played dejarik a lot when I was young and ..." "No, I mean the real savrip. Have you ever seen it in the battle? Well you don't want to. Let's leave." ---------- More pictures in the spoiler.

The forest moon of Endor. Imperial Scout Troopers raced noisily on speeder bikes between the trees. My information sources hadn't been able to say why the Empire was interested in such a place, although I had seen signs of construction as I approached from orbit. I only knew that they had been foolish enough to use wookie slaves in the middle of a forest, and had been careless enough to let one escape. One of the Scout Troopers looped around and came to a stop before dismounting from his speeder bike. The officer in charge of over seeing the construction had despatched several squads of these troopers in a futile search for the escaped wookie. Not all of them returned from their patrols. Desperate to prevent his superiors from discovering his lack of judgement, he had quietly offered a bounty for the capture or elimination of his wookie problem. This didn't mean that the searches had been stopped, and the troopers accompanying the officer had dismissed the idea that a lone bounty hunter could achieve where they had failed. I watched from high in a tree. The natural clearing provided one of several regular stopping points for the scouts taking a break. I'm sure they knew deep down that they had no chance of capturing the wookie buzzing around making so much noise, but it wouldn't do their careers much good if they returned from their patrols too soon. As well as stealth I had one other advantage over these troopers to help me to catch their prey, it would never occur to them to use one of their own brothers as bait. The trooper panicked and turned to flee as the wookie emerged from the undergrowth. Unfortunately for him the rampaging wookie was faster and he lost an arm before leading the wookie into one of my traps. I didn't particularly like the idea of recapturing escaped slaves. Had I thought that the poor wookie would go off to make its own way in the forest I might have even felt guilt. Instead I figured eventually his attacks on his previous masters would grow bolder and he would wind up getting shot, so capturing him alive was really in his best interests. Plus desperate Imperial officers always paid well... Overview: The speeder bikes: Thanks for looking Jannik

Part Two I've been working for Green Banthas for some time now. I got used to Wellcity and I liked it. My missions weren't hard, I had to drive a lot, but since it's my favourite thing I couldn't complain. I also got some other skills, as locating the target, disarming a person and other things. This was all part of my training for Alliance SpecOps. But it seems I'll have to take a pause - I was called in to the base, because I'm needed for a new mission. I'll learn more about it when I get there. Just a small freebuild to continue the story. Please, judge this.

Sgt. Lucas Kirana: It happened again … this time while I was on Naboo. A bounty hunter working an unrelated job recognized former ISB Agent Goatm An, posing as a merchant captain. I'd been assigned to 'terminate' Goatm almost a year earlier and although we'd had one close encounter, most of the time it felt like I was chasing a ghost. This was the first solid lead we'd had in months. By the time I got to Naboo, the local garrison had identified the ship Goatm had been using, which led them to a house near the spaceport. It was the perfect cover for someone posing as a merchant working his way into respectability. The troops confirmed the house was empty, and then set-up a perimeter. They had orders not to touch or disturb anything before the scanning crew and ISB liaison arrived. They showed me inside, but I'm afraid I didn't make it too far... There was a plant. Something about the smell, or the shape ... reminded me... Something I'd seen before... Shortly after our first encounter, the ISB tracked Goatm to his mother's home planet: Aquilae. They sent a team of agents after him, but lost contact with the agents shortly after they landed. As the sun rose, I saw why. Goatm had been busy. Some of the bodies were already decayed, but others were fresh. Goatm was close, or he had been very recently. The stench was horrific … it was hard to breathe, the humid jungle air tasted of decay … and the flies … can a swarm of flies make that much noise? … the sound rising and falling ... as if the swarm itself had a … a voice... Yes, of course. I was just contemplating our next move. What's up? It's the scanning crew, sir. They found something. Good. … Was there something else, trooper? Uh, respectfully, sir, we've cleared the building, so you can secure your side arm. If you want to. Sir. My pistol. I hadn't even realized I'd drawn it. Roger that. Old habits … where's the scanning crew? Follow me, sir. To be continued ... Update - part 2 finally posted.

After my decision to join the Rebellion, I was waiting for a mission, something I can do for the good of the Alliance and universe itself. I was given a small but important mission to find out, who's involved in the sabotage of some droids. Many other rebels were given the same task. I decided to go to the planet Hapes, because there were some rumors about the traitor hiding there. Hapes is a very special planet, where people still love and respect nature. So I had to get myself a vehicle that won't pollute the clean air of planet Hapes. I decided to use the ultra-light speeder, which gets the energy from sun, through the triangular solar plates. This also makes it very silent and perfect for missions like this. ... Thanks for watching

Tatooine Discovery- A desolate village on Tatooine which is engulfed in junk dealers and moisture farmers draws the suspicious and watchful eye of the Empire due to a new Storm Trooper looking to make a difference in the galaxy...... Sergeant Reik: Where the hell is this kid? Major Plumho: Relax Sergeant, this is his first assignment. Do you remember your first assignment? Out there feeling like you alone would crush the rebellion? Sergeant Reik: Yes Major, but I never WENT ALONE! This kid has a real pair on him. Major Plumho: Well, lets just hope he's not wasting our time out here with the radio call. An Hour Earlier TheBeeze: I'm out in this town... Day 1 on the job... And I'm already seeing things I don't like. I'm in the middle of a Junk Dealer Alley and I see this building. More Sophisticated than all the others. Reinforced Door. Long Range Comms Gear Mounted on the Roof. I'm gonna call this in for backup and poke around a little more on my own. Random Pilot: Hey Trooper! Come over here. Random Pilot: What brings you to these parts? Quiet little remote town like this never sees any Imperials. TheBeeze: How about I ask the questions here... What brings a pilot like yourself to a remote junk dealing town in the middle of nowhere, miles from any spaceport? Random Pilot: Ahhh very perceptive. Well my ship broke down on a run about 3 miles north of here. I'm trying to scrounge a compressor to get it going. TheBeeze: Why didn't you report the damaged aircraft? I have not been notified of any damaged aircraft in my sector. Random Pilot: My comms are not working either (Looking passed the Storm Trooper to see Two Mounted Storm Troopers arriving) Sergeant Reik: Storm Trooper, Report! Random Pilot: Looks like you better get moving. *Chuckling* TheBeeze: You Wait Right Here, I'm not done with you. (As he turns and walks away) Major Plumho: Trooper is this the building you reported? TheBeeze: Yes Major I think it ha.. Major Plumho: Sergeant Reik Escort the rookie inside this structure and check it out! I'll pull security. Sergeant Reik: Roger! Sergeant Reik: Major, we've got something here! Major Plumho: What is it Sergeant? Sergeant Reik: It looks like this is a Rebel Weapons Cache and Intel Relay Station. They've been spying on our Sector! Major Plumho: Sergeant! Get out here! Gamorrean: It is not safe for you here. Sergeant Reik: Creature! Be careful what you say or we'll make the world less safe for you. Gamorrean: Rebels come and go from this building quite frequently. They maintain a small base a short distance from here in hill pass. They are probably watching you right now. TheBeeze: The Pilot! I knew something was wrong with him. Major, I was interrogating a pilot just before you arrived. His story did not check out. Major Plumho: Lets move away from here and call this in. Before Dark Sets in. Major Plumho: Good Job kid. Command is going to detach an element and we're going to hit that Pass to clear it out. Sergeant Reik: You better be ready for this. TheBeeze: Thank you Major. Sergeant, I will be ready. Major Plumho: I see you picked up one of those E11s Rifles from the rebels, you're going to need it. And do us a favor, clean your uniform. Dark Sets In as the Dewbacks Depart TheBeeze: Well Day 1 and I uncovered a rebel plot and picked up a new accurate blaster. I think our scouts carry these. Maybe some day.... Well, better head back and get ready for this battle. Back in Town a Faint, almost incoherent voice whispers into a Commlink Jawa: They are sending a detachment your way. Can a Mod please change the name of the topic to- [soNE Freebuild]- A Tatooine Discovery. Thank you.

See the rest of the story: Season 1 Season 2 Junker's Fee Welcome to Fondor Fondor City Nightlife Many Bothans Died... Well At Least One Fixing to Clear the Mind Thermal Detonator Pot-Pie Focus Torturous Trial The Escape The Calamity Star Hyperdrive Repairs Motivating the Troops After the events surrounding the Suprosa, the Rebels headed to the nearby system of Kuat… “This is the first string of luck I’ve had since I asked the Rebel Alliance to help me break you out of prison!” exclaimed Kale. “What do you mean?” asked MKJoshA. “I just heard that the fleet is heading to Kuat” answered Kale, “And that’s where we need to be!” “And why do we need to be on Kuat?” asked Josh. “I’ll tell you on the way” was Kale’s response. The Rebel fleet that had attacked the Suprosa dropped out of hyperspace a short jump from Kuat and just a couple ships completed the journey to the planet carrying Kale, Josh, Mon Mothma, some other Rebels, and the super computer. Kale and Josh took one of the first shuttles down to the planet’s surface. “Well remember” started Kale, “how I promised you I could help you prepare to avenger your brother’s death?” “Yes…” said Josh. “And remember how I told you I knew a guy that could help?” “Yes, and?” “Well,” said Kale, “really there’s a guy friend of this girl I know who’s an attendant to a former senator, Senator Lysani who lives on Kuat’s surface.” “Wait,” interrupted Josh, “I didn’t think there was anything on Kuat’s surface except for endless farms? You know, to feed all the people who work in the rings around the planet?” “Well there’s that too,” answered Kale. “But there are some small settlements on the surface. I mean, someone has to keep the equipment running right? Anyway, so this senator retired there because it was quiet and hired some help and that’s where my friend comes in.” “So she knows how to defeat Mandos?” asked Josh. “No,” said Kale exasperatedly. “Try to keep up, remember that my friend has a guy friend. He’s the one that knows how to beat Mandos.” “And how did he learn that?” asked Josh. “Well, the Kuati have this weird tradition of raising what they call telbuns, the perfect male” began Kale. “One of these telbuns was offered to Senator Lysani some time ago. His father was owed a favor by a Mandalorian so he had his boy train with them for some time. He had the body to look at and the brawn behind it so he made the perfect telbun for an up-and-coming Kuati aristocrat. He’s the one who’s going to help you learn how to defeat the Mandos that killed your brother.” By this time they had landed at one of the spaceports on Kuat’s surface. It was a small, rural port more used to seeing farmers than politicians, though, Josh noticed at least one person of wealth taking off in his chauffeured speeder. He hoped the extra Stormtroopers were there because of him and not because they had gotten wind that the Rebellion was there. “If the Empire was able to identify me on Fondor, won’t they notice us here?” asked Josh. “Nah,” said Kale. “These Stormtroopers know they are stationed in a dead-end job so they barely look at anyone. We’ll be fine!” More Pictures! (the elevator actually works)

After discovering the presence of a hidden Rebel base in Sector 217, Major Plumhol is sent a small Element of battle hardened storm troopers to locate the rebel base and eradicate them. Rebel: Base, this is Delta 7. I am inbound to your position now. Commander Adleni: Delta 7, this is Base. We have you on approach. You're clear for entry. The rebel enters the base and checks in with the commander. Rhodian Rebel: How'd it go? Rebel: I saw nothing. Again. This is my 2nd two day over watch this week. Whoever their informant was, they gave us bad information. Rebel: Is that why we're on stand down? Rebel: Yes. I reported in to Commander Adleni and he agreed that we probably received bad information. They would have come for us by now. I'm gonna get some shut eye, I'm wiped. Just as things began to quiet down in the night..... Storm Trooper: Major! I snapped this holo image about an hour ago. Major Plumho: Good Work Trooper! Sergeant Reik! Sergeant Reik: Sir! Major Plumho: Assemble everyone up, lets get ready to move. Sergeant Reik: Major, this is First Sergeant Alarkis from the 403rd Shock Trooper Division. First Sergeant Alarkis: Major, it is my pleasure. *They Salute* Major Plumho: Sergeant, the pleasure is mine. What have we stumbled upon here that command has deemed worthy of sending you to take over? First Sergeant Alarkis: Major I am here simply as a tactical advisor. You are the commanding officer. Command has grown tired of this desert wasteland and want these rebels wiped off the rock. Lord Vader personally authorized your request for overflight scans of the sector. Major Plumho: I am glad we have the full support of the Empire. Our scans indicate the rebels have been probing the outskirts of their territory hoping to uncover us after discovering their comm relay station several days ago. Aside from that, things seem fairly relaxed here. They don't appear to be on alert. Intel believes this outpost to be nothing more than spy ring. We will take them under cover of dark. First Sergeant Alarkis: I am at your service Major. Major Plumho: TheBeeze, get on point. You're taking us in. TheBeeze: Roger that Sir. The storm troopers go silent and proceed to move into the Hill Pass Ravine using hand signals. One by one they bound passed one another covering an extended amount of ground. Inside the main complex Commander Adleni: Captain, my men have charged the speeder for you. The space port is not far. At this time of night, you should not run into any Tusken Raiders or Imperials if you stick to that route. I'm sure you can find a pilot willing to get you off this planet. That intel you recovered may prove crucial down the road to us. I have a bad feeling that we are not going to be here much longer. Captain Plakarse: Thank you Commander. I will inform the General of your conditions here and see if there is anything we can do to help you and your men. OUTSIDE First Sergeant Alarkis sees the ambient glow of a night light in a cut out of the rock face above. After looking at his map scan he believes there to be several rebels positioned above them. He signals the Major that he is going to toss a thermal detonator. Rolling across the ground the rebels awaken... Rhodian Rebel: BOMB! GET OUT! The explosion rips the ravine sending a deafening roar of fire, rock, and smoke through the base. TheBeeze: Here they come! The remaining rebels in the main base leap to life scrambling to return fire on the storm troopers who are slowly encircling them. Captain Plakarse makes a mad dash to the speeder bike while taking down a storm trooper. The Captain manages to escape while the Imperials breach the base. The Beeze manages to get behind the rebel commander and knock him down with his rifle. First Sergeant Alarkis: Take him outside, the sun is coming up. Commander Adleni: You have failed imperial. You are too late. First Sergeant Alarkis: Your base is destroyed and your men have burned, I'd say we've succeeded. Commander Adleni: You will learn in time of your failure. TheBeeze: MEDIC! The major has been hit. Hang on Major, we'll get you out of here. As the medics Come to retrieve the Major, TheBeeze marches straight up to the Duros Commander and punches him square in the jaw. First Sergeant Alarkis pulls him back as the storm troopers start to pick up the rebel. First Sergeant Alarkis: I hear this is two in a row for you? TheBeeze: We let the pilot get away. First Sergeant Alarkis: Excuse me trooper? TheBeeze: The pilot who got away in the junk town just got away in the fire fight. He has to be the key to this. Sergeant Reik is dead, and the Major is now out of action. I am not done here. First Sergeant Alarkis: Things happen in combat out of your control. You need to learn that. You did well today. You may have a future with us yet. I will keep an eye on you trooper. We are going to work on getting you a new assignment and hopefully off of this rock. Hang tough. The Storm Troopers depart with their prisoner and board a shuttle to head back to their Star Destroyer with TheBeeze coming along for reassignment. Major Plumho will live on to fight another day. Just outside the Mos Eisley Spaceport... Captain Plakarse: That was a close call. I need to get out of here and get this into the right hands.

Shadows of Nar Eurbrikka; Freebuild: Looking for Rebels Location: Kuat Time: 9 am Persons involved: Mads Heering; Stormtrooper Orwell Haggins; Stormtrooper Cornell Haggins; Stormtrooper The story: Three stormtroopers, Mads Heering the driver, Orwell Haggins the navigator and Cornell Haggins the gunner are driving through the wasteland of Kuat. Their mission is to spot Rebel activity on Kuat and report it. They're driving a new model of speeder. Actually, they're testing it. It is dispensable and so are they. They joined the imperial army 2 weeks ago and they still think they'll see the whole galaxy, fight great battles and change history. Perhaps they will, but at the moment they're driving through Kuat and looking for rebels. Additional photos: Conclusion: It was hard for me to post this build. It cannot match all those fantastic builds on this forum and my photographic skills are far from good. But still, I'd like to contribute to SoNE, so, if possible, please judge this build. Thanks for your attention!

My name is Pertyn Sawk, Pertie for friends. I got this name from my great-great-grandfather. He established a small speeder workshop on Bothawui and my family has been living there since then. We still produce small vehicles and I'm very proud of this. One day a group of men came in the workshop and asked for some small transport speeders. And this seemed very suspicious, since they didn't look like workers, but more like soldiers. But not imperial soldiers. They asked me some questions and I told them, that I'm not very fond of the current system, altough my life's not bad. I saw some stormtroopers intimidating my Bothan friend. And I knew why. My customers soon identified themselves as rebel soldiers and invited me to join them. It was a hard decision, but I said yes. I left the family business to my younger brother and went away. But I took my first speeder with me and I'm still using it. ---------- I've recently joined this RPG and I wanted to build a small, simple build to introduce my character. Thank you very much for stoping by. I would be very happy if I could get this freebuild judged. Thank you in advance. ----------

I was made quite quickly because some stupid Imp lover wanted to start a "discussion" about why it was so bad that we drove them away. That discussion did not end well and soon I had a bunch of Stormtroopers going after me, the guy I pissed off had some high placed friends, I need to get back to him at some point, he might know more. Anyway I started running through the streets and while I could send out a distress signal, I couldn't shake the Troopers. Untill I found a Speeder Bike. Engine still running. I had to take the chance. I will repay the owner at a later time. I lost the Imps and went on to the rendezvouz point, hoping someone had received the signal. I would like to have this judged by the way.

Tariq and Jay had traveled at least for 5 hours to get to Nar Eubrikka, the transport had no hyperdrive and was probably as slow as a sandcrawler, maybe even slower, but all that was on Tariq's mind was getting the ,misson completed. What are you doing! The guard yelled at them, he did not look happy. "We were... Waiting" Jay stumbled. "Waiting? Waiting for what" the guard yelled back, He then continued, still very suspicious, " Do you have Identification?" "We're from the Empire, waiting for someone, we have a delivery for them" Tariq nodded towards the 3 crates behind them. He could see the guard itching to go and examine them. "Yeah, well I don't care where your from, this is a restricted area, what are you delivering anyway?" Tariq and Jay both new if they said "Weapons!" they may as well have shot themselves there and then. "Food", Tariq said, though he new the guard would not believe him. "Food?, for who?" "For Wookies" Tariq said without thinking. The guard looked from Tariq to Jay, as though expecting someone to shout "April Fools!" but nothing happened, then, in a split second, he reeled out in pain and began to bend backwards. He then quivered and was still. A dark figure approached them, he came out of the cave and moved the body aside with his foot. "Neat" he said dryly, "although next time, don't say you're bringing food to wookies, it generally isn't something people would believe, you have the crates?" " yep" Tariq said, nodding towards the 3 boxes behind them. "Well you better get going, when this guy" he jerked his head at the guard "doesn't report back, his colleagues, may pay a visit to see what happened.

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." -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Our mission on Tatooine was not successful. It seems like Black Sun knew all our plans in advance. In response to this situation the smugglers' crew Wick is travelling with was asked to follow to Corucsant and gather any possible info on the upcoming Black Sun meeting. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Unfortunately, it is not so easy to gather any sensitive information on certain districts of Coruscant. You'd need some good and trustworthy contacts, and a decent sum of credits... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - "Do you trust him?" - "You can never be sure. Especially here. Especially about him. But this is the best option we have." - "Our cargo should arrive soon. Let's hope he is satisfied with this." -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- A dozen minutes and plenty lines of dialogue later. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - "As agreed, Marcus, here are the crystals you wanted. Size and quality are exactly as specified." - "Nice to work with you guys. The roof and platform are yours for today. And the building you were so interested in is right below us." - "We'd better get prepared then. The guest will start to arrive soon." -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Three Biths were the first to arrive. Most probably these are bookkeepers for this branch of the Syndicate. Or lawyers. Or both. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- And then the evening got really interesting... This was certainly some high-rank Imperial officer. It seems that the initial intel on Black Sun / Imperial meeting was true. Now the only thing to wait for is for who of the Black Sun leaders will arrive for these negotiations. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- And here it is, guarded by two bounty hunters. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Now we finally know who is "sharing" Black Sun secrets and plans with the Empire. I think other leaders of the Syndicate will be very interested in getting this information as soon as possible... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The build:

See the rest of the story: Season 1 Season 2 Junker's Fee Welcome to Fondor Fondor City Nightlife Many Bothans Died... Well At Least One Fixing to Clear the Mind Thermal Detonator Pot-Pie Focus Torturous Trial The Escape MKJoshA was forced to leave his ship, Rough Edges, in the space docks above Fondor when he and Kale fled the planet. He knew it would probably be impounded and sold for scrap, but that was a small price to pay to avoid the clutches of the Empire. Instead of the comforts of his own ship, he and Kale found themselves on board a barely space-worthy vessel known as The Calamity Star. In his efforts to help Josh escape, Kale had connected with the Rebel Alliance to see if they had any means of assisting. It turned out that they were no better equipped than Kale in helping Josh escape, but they did have a way for them to leave the planet. The Rebel Alliance was pursuing a mutually beneficial relationship with the crime syndicate known as the Black Sun. The Black Sun had a freighter leaving Fondor that day taking cargo to Nar Eurbrikka, and they were in need of two more crew members. Kale had signed the two of them up and they made it off world before the Imperials knew where they had gone. Josh and Kale needed to get to Kuat, but since the Black Sun was their only safe way off planet and since the Rebels needed their help a detour to Nar Eurbrikka couldn't be avoided. Josh just hoped the effort in helping the Black Sun was worth it. OoC: Comments and critiques welcome! I decided to double up my entry for this contest with my SHIP endeavors. Took a lot more bricks than I expected, but I'm pleased with the results.

My TIE's cockpit is very snug, but it ironically feels huge because the viewport looks out into the neverending expanse of space. It never feels cramped or claustrophobic as a result. But my lastest mission which is actually in a space much larger has me quite apprehensive. I've somehow ended up working for the Black Sun under the orders of the Empire. I'm supposed to be helping to destroy the Ororo transportation company. And despite my status as a pilot, they saw fit to send me in with a small specialized ground force. Not sure how that works, but I'm smart enough not to ask questions. I'm the explosives "expert" on this mission and the other guys are mostly around to make sure I'm able to do what I need to do. We are going to target a main electrical room via an underground tunnel used for maintenance. Once I blow that up other elements will carry out more direct assaults. We shouldn't run into anyone, so I'm hoping I get to just plant the charges and get out. These new thermal detonators are quite powerful and should easily be able to knock out the electricity. I triple checked their timing settings so we should have enough time to exit the tunnel before they go off. Things are so different on the ground. In space the explosions happen but they are brief. And there is no sound. But here on the ground the explosions are vivid, noisy, and can be felt in your stomach. The rumble initially is felt in your feet and makes the hairs on your neck stand up. It is awe inspiring the power those explosives hold. No Figs:
