Chapter 15 - The Baron and the Princess

<< to previous chapter

Evening at Vonreg Mansion on Chandrila. Baron Ezhugh Vonreg is studying financial reports from his many companies and affiliates, before going to sleep…

» Good evening, my lord. Ready for your gift from Alderaan? «

» Stop fooling around, Rajee... «

» Oh, I was practising the princess the whole day! Only for you! «

» Maybe a Mirialan?... «

» … or Pantoran? «

» I enjoy your company Rajee. Unlike the other of your sort I possess, you are charming and disarming.  But I know your real intentions. You are looking for the remote control of the disruptor capsule I planted in your head. Don't forget: if you dare to kill me, your capsule will activate immediately! «

» Hmm I know, but still we could have some fun while trying to achieve our goals... «

» Tempting but maybe later.

What about our special asset? You arranged his transfer? «

» Yes. Everything is planned. I will personally accompany curator Kuenaga from Coruscant to safety. «

» Good. The transfer will be conducted during the Republic Gala. The Rebels will be honoring their heroes and the ISB will be distracted trying to sneak- in its agents. Nobody will care about a single transport from Coruscant.

I'm dying to hear Kuenagas proposal about Palpatines treasure planet. Yet I still need to attend the gala.

Second thought, "princess"... I could put these reports aside for a while...«

**********************************

Hello,

I'm speeding now with my second entry in 2 days. We are again visiting Vonreg in an interlude here and you meet Rajee, his changeling agent, known already from Chapter 5. It's a bit provocative for Lego Star Wars, I guess, but I hope you still enjoy it

Here are two additional images of Vonregs bedroom on Chandrila:

I completely forget about this moc. Happens when i saw the pictures on flickr already and we talk so much

Another great moc and story! I like the classy interior. You have the stylish bed and art, but also the control panels that are so typical for SW. The story of course - with the changeling - is perfect So while the New Republic is going to celebrate their heros with a big gala, handing out medals and drinking fine nog and Kowakian rum, the sinister baron and his accomplices plot their evil plans. I am so excited to learn how the story will unfold!!

Indeed a very very clean room design

Thank you, guys! 

It makes fun to switch from the worn-out look SW usually has and visit this very clean environment, somewhat mirroring the cold cleanliness of Imperial architecture, but giving it the private and personal note of a rich man and collector. 

Stay tuned for the Gala! It will take a few more episodes to finally get there

It looks clean but also stylish! I imagine a 1970s Hollywood Hills villa with a futuristic interior could look like this But maybe i have just watched too many movies
