The Shine of Victory
„All troops safely returned and all star fighters out of explosion range.“ Commander Stern stood on the Obligation’s bridge beside General Squai. „Time to light this firework then.“ He turned to the General, who was watching the last star fighters gliding by with a serious frown on his face. „Permission to blow the charges, General?“ „Do what must be done.“ Stern gave the signal and a heartbeat later, the Separatist space station vanished in a golden ball of flames, sparkling with splashes of greens, whites and blues, whenever a fuel cell or reactor core was hit by the expanding blast. It was a marvelous sight, scary and beautiful at the same time. While some of the troops on the Venator’s bridge were gasping in astonishment or excitedly cheering, General Squai was still in deep thought. „Is everything alright, General?“, Stern asked politely. „I wonder… what was the reason for all of this?“ „What do you mean. General?“ „Well, every day we fight the Separatists, everyday both sides loose ships and men. Now, they were on the brink of building an effective weapon that could turn the tides in their favor. And just as they are about to complete it, we get a hint, find it and prevent their victory.“ „I’d say we got lucky this time.“ „Did we? It doesn’t feel like that. We Jedi believe that everything happens for a reason. The ways of the force are hard to read sometimes. This wasn’t the first time we simply had good luck. It happens over and over again for both sides. As if someone, or something doesn’t want this war to end just yet…“ Jedi were no soldiers after all, Stern thought. A soldier knew, what he had to do and saw a lucky coincidence when it happened. „With all due respect, you worry too much, General. I call this a job well done and a chance to win again tomorrow.“ „I suppose so.“ Genial Squai turned away and walked off the bridge, leaving the commander and his men to watch the spectacle of the explosion slowly fading into the starry endlessness.

This is the finale of www.instagram.com/gsw.lug #wirecutcollab and something I wanted to build for quite a while. I tried to build a Venator Stardestroyer’s bridge years ago and with this, finally did it properly. I hope you enjoyed this build and the rest of the collab. If you haven’t seen the rest of the builds, yet, head over to www.instagram.com/gsw.lug or check out the hashtag #wirecutcollab. Stay tuned for more GSW Lug collaborations in the future and, of you are from Germany, Austria or Switzerland, consider joining the group yourself!
