[Factions Ep. I] A balcony look at the Galaxy

After picking some stuff from Coruscant, now I’m back home.

Lately I have no other home than this small apartment at Brentaal, close to the center of the Galaxy. I always liked this one, I don’t know exactly why.

 

 

My old 2-1B series medical droid is always happy when I come back home, and it's specially helpful when something goes wrong. It manages the bacta tank like nobody else.

 

 

Today I have a visit from some old good friends. I’ve prepared something for them.

Here, from the apartment balcony, nights are never dark like in the periphery. But still it’s possible to see many solar systems, specially Coruscant, the center of the Empire and the Republic before, which is not that far away.

 

 

This place is actually a safe house. We have many across the galaxy and nowadays they are very handy for what they are.

 

 

But let's go back to my guests. It's time to let them eat something...

 

 

It's always great to have a nice evening for discussing in the living room. So many things are happening nowadays. We are waiting for instructions from the hyper-communicator on the table.

 

 

The living room has my library plenty of old and new books for read and reference, among other artifacts. Knowledge was and will always be irreplaceable. My astromech droid R2-D9 is a bit nervous with the waiting... 

Finally we got a hyper-communication for a mission! We should grab some additional resources. Behind the library we have some special goodies for this kind of task...

 

 

The hidden compact fusion energy power-plant is quite handy to recharge stuff like that and specially my prove droid, which is a resource hog.

 

 

I'm unsure of what kind of dressing should I have for this mission: Like a beggar in a suburban? Elegant, like the last time with the Brentaal ambassador? Smart casual? Who knows! Hopefully I'm prepared. I have to be perfect in every situation.

 

 

And for particularly difficult ones I have my favourite hidden outfit:

 

 

But before doing anything else it's time to have a shower in the upper floor. This multipurpose bacta tank was a bargain when I found it for sale in Denevar. 

 

 

Now we are prepared for the next move...

Here are some additional details of the build:

The library:

 

And the upper floor:

very nice loft apartment, enjoy the 2 floors design within this limited space, and flipped gear-exchanging system is genius to me, There're many design for me to learn.

Lots of details! But I think it almost makes the build too busy. I really like your shelves though.

I tried to to make it for my children to play with, they started to be curious and they ended up helping me to create the gang characters. 

Many things to learn and experiment. I take note on the suggestions for improvement in the next build. Thanks!

I agree the two floors concept is awesome!  I love the "fusion power plant" and who knew that news from hogwarts traveled so far and wide!

I really like the inclusion of the exterior here. There's also a feel for this that isn't quite as beat up and industrial, evoking a higher-tech and generally cleaner urban area. Cool to see that.

Thanks! That was the idea. The intention for the location was to be at a skyscraper in a big city with lots of small apartments there, but good enough for a living hence being complete with a kitchen, dinning room, bathroom, bedroom, balcony... 

A confortable place to rest, read and investigate, with plants and windows to get the light of the sunsets. Something that could stay unnoticed of the myriad of other apartments in the city. Thus, the idea of hiding the weapons behind the shelves, the shadow robe and the bacta tank camouflaged as a shower.
