Make no mistake, Commodore Arrick Click (where the Click would truly be a clicking sound, if pronounced correctly) is an aged, but formidable corsair. He is known to be merciful to those who surrender, but merciless to the ones who try to deceive him. Over decades of his life as a pirate, the Aqualish Arrick emerged as a (de facto political) leader and lord protector of his wild space territory. Arrick loosly allied with some Rebel cells and fought the Empire with his fleet. He was invited to the Gala (against some opposition) in the hope he would remain righteous. Arrick owns a Merqaal named Jinx. Upper right: The Ovissian U'Lell is a honorable judge at the reestablished New Republic's court of justice. He was a lawyer during the rise of the Empire and disputed the legality of its actions. As a result, he spent almost 20 years imprisoned on Wobani. He wouldn't tell, but he still wakes up in nightmares of that place sometimes. The vegetarian loves the snackbar at the Gala and can usually be found there. Middle left:Yashdee Begoon is a lovely elder lady, fulfillin the Ithorian stereotype. She is fond of living nature and can admire a single, decorative plant for multiple hours. Yashdee is a friendly, sometimes a little naive lady, who despises violence. At younger age, she was leader of her herd. Now she is an ambassador of Ithor and supporting the idea of peace negotiations. Middle right: The human Stephim Saul-Saro is hailing from Milvayne. His father wanted him to take over the families' shipping business. But Stephim didn't give a kriff about what his father wanted. He left to become a street artist and indeed caused a stir in the underground scene on Coruscant with some anti-(clone) war art. When the planet became the Imperial Centre, he anonymously continued with anti-totalitarian artworks. He was lucky, the long reach of the ISB did not get to him - mostly because of his relationship with holovid-starlet Dzenia Moone. With the Rebellion turning into a democratic government, he now hopes for more liberty. Lower left:Yurs Vendelorn is the chief of security on board of the Atrisia and in this role subordinate directly to Admiral Ackbar and Princess Leia. At young age, Yurs witnessed the separatist bombardment of his homeworld Humbarine and volunteered for the Imperial Navy in the aftermath of the war. He climbed the ranks but soon became disillusioned by the corruption and carelessness of the totalitarian regime. Like many others, he defected and joined the Rebel Alliance. Yurs sucessfully fought many battles during the civil war and eventually received the rank of Commander. Now, he was trusted the difficult task to secure the Gala and make the guests feel equally safe and free. Commander Vendelorn is busy at the moment, as some uninvited delegation of the Hutt cartell somehow bypassed the security and got as far as the flight deck. Lower Right:Dzenia Moone. Famous holoactress and descendant of the renowned Moone dynasty. The Coruscanti human with bleached white hair was already filthy rich, when she started her career. Dzenia was a darling of many imperial officials but fell in love with shipping company heir and no-name artist Stephim Saul-Saro. Not everyone approved this romance but as a Moone, Dzenia was almost untouchable. At some point, she learned about Stephims anti-imperial art-work and was riveted by his courage. Rumor has it, she stood up for Stephim, when the ISB found out. Another rumor even says that Emperor Palpatine - being a fan of the daily holo-soap Dzenia was starring in - granted her clemency. Dzenia and Stephim had to leave Coruscant but they were able to continue their careers on Cantonica. Finally after all these years of austerity, Dzenia Moone can show herself in public with her husband again and loves being in the spotlight. ************************** Hello and welcome to part 2 of my festive figbarf Edited January 2 by Sentinel_Brix Quote
Yperio_Bricks Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Like Yashdee Begoon, I could also watch at this coral flower for hours! It is beautiful Have to get some coral pieces when I make my next PAB order. Great characters! The backstories are splendid! I wish we would learn more about the Dzenia & Stephim lovestory in the future rich holoactress and no-name artist! Hilarious Quote

Hilarious Thanks again In fact, Dzenia Moone would be inspired very loosely by the historical, controversial actress and director Leni Riefenstahl, who was a darling of the Nazi regime. In Dzenias case, I imply between the lines, that she were unpolitical and just enjoyed fame and money, not really noticing the opression of the officials of the regime she entertained. It speaks for her favor, that she did not turn in her husband Stephim, when she found out about his "underground work". I liked the idea of Palpatine sending away his lickspittles to watch his favorite show. I mean, he cannot sit on his throne all day and do what he do when shown in the movies or shows, like plotting Sith things... does, he anytime have to go to the toilett, btw? Quote

I hate being political here, but I don't really see any controversy here - she consciously did outright Nazi propaganda and denied the facts of their atrocities after the war. Her film "Triumph of the will", in particular, inspired the Rebel awards ceremony scene from ANH. George Lucas clearly didn't understand what he was doing when creating Star Wars... Anyway, I disagree with comparing an "above politics" holoactress with a propagandist Quote

The word controversial is used in the intro of the Wikipedia article about her: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leni_Riefenstahl 9 minutes ago, Max_Lego said: Anyway, I disagree with comparing an "above politics" holoactress with a propagandist I should have written inspired very, very, very loosely. Actually only by the premise of an actress entertaining a tyrant regime. Neither did I intend to offend anyone, nor to downplay the historical persons' deeds. On the contrary. Quote

I am glad you agree with me Quote
