[L13 - Teyr Vulvarch - TT] Good old imperial justice

The Triumvirate Inquisition - Personal notes of Admiral Gable Karius:

The Galaxy needed the empire. Some are quick to forget such a fact, but it is clearly evident on Teyr. High ranking imperials used to own much of Teyr's Greenbelt in their private ranches and estates but when the empire fell Teyr became overrun with homesteaders all looking for a spot of land to call their own. Most had little experience of farming and soon some of the most fertile land in the galaxy was wasted, with most farms producing little surplus to sell. That would have been fine if they had returned the imperial land when the Triumvirate arrived, but many didn't.  

The Triumvirate farmed the land of the homesteaders that returned it and they were rewarded for this, but there were still many who needed to be taught a lesson. The Inquistion got called in when some union of farmers decided to pillage Triumvirate farms to compensate for their bad crop yields. 

 

Target 1: 

Name: Samjid Alwa

Species: Kiffar (male)

Occupation: Mesa Goat Herdsman/ Farmer

Crimes: Occupying Triumvirate land, Arson, Theft of Triumvirate Property, Assault of Triumvirate forces

Recommendation: Termination

Karius' Case Notes: 

Well as the old saying goes, 'Don't poke the Rancor.' Sending in a Rancor proved a stroke of brilliance, the farmer and his herd of goats were devoured without a trace. The farmer's hut was burned down too in order to leave a more visible reminder to those who dare to oppose us. His affiliation to certain groups must be evaluated in the continuation of this case. 

 

Target 2:

Name: Grallus Rem

Species: Human (male)

Occupation: Swoop racer/ Farmer

Crimes: Occupying Triumvirate land, Arson, Theft of Triumvirate Property, Assault of Triumvirate forces, Affiliation to terrorist groups, illegal swoop racing

Recommendation: Interrogation followed by termination

Karius' Case Notes:  

Teyr is considered the home of swoop bikes to some but the target was a member of an illegal racing group alongside his other crimes. This proved the perfect opportunity to try out the new 714 AVA speeder which proved more than a match for his bike. His interrogation is ongoing.

Notes:

I wanted to try doing two very different builds on the same base for this and feel like it went pretty well. I also decided on a forced-perspective for the first build (see below for BTS photos). I'm particularly pleased with the midi-scale Rancor and the 714 AVA. Hopefully this will be a series I continue with Karius investigating select Triumvirate Inquisition cases.

As ever, I appreciate your feedback!

Love the format for the narrative, even if it does make me sad. The rancor and Goat are wonderful, as are the swoops. Really good base, it looks so substantial.

Thanks, shaping the base took a couple of attempts and most of my green bricks so I'm glad it paid off. As for the goat, it is an actual species native to Teyr.

I really enjoy trying to use as much information about each planet as possible so little references like the goat and swoops (Teyr is the home Mobquet swoops and speeders) are things that I am always trying to add into my builds!

I really like this, I like reusing the same base to tell a different story.
The forced perspective works well here!

I really like the swoop bike version. Is it your own design? The landscape really lends itself to the build.

Yes, the swoop is my own design. I was thinking of doing a speeder/swoop showroom at some point, I've been building quite a few of them recently!

@marvelBoy123 Jealous. Speeders and bikes are definitely a weak point for me.

Love it!

[Darth Bjorn]

Woah. So dark! I love it!!!

Let that be a lesson to kids of the galaxy... Criminals will always get what they deserve... 

Great work! ;)

Great MOC and great story. No one will escape the imperial justice.

What I really like is the (Patrol-Trooper`s) Speeder Bike. It works perfectly, without removing the legs from the body.

Great work on the bikes! I could recognize what the rancor was. But I think you should work a little more at forced perspective. It's hard to get right and I'm glad you attempted it! But that's where you can try to improve.
