Hey guys, if you donβt recognize this vehicle, donβt be ashamed ;) This is an alternative take on the Theta class shuttle we see in Revenge of the Sith from the artists @ec_henry and @angelo_goldfinch.
I like this model especially because it takes Palpatineβs controversial shuttle and applies the imperial design language to the base design. In my opinion, this is one of the best examples of the things we see in the dark times era.

The V-11 Arrowhead was the successor to the T-65 X-Wing and was used as a light fighter bomber, reconnaissance fighter or air superiority fighter by the New Republic and saw its first use during the Thrawn Crisis. The V-11 Arrowhead's were a massive upgrade to the X-Wings of the Rebel Alliance. The design had a built-up front in which a large number of new sensors and target equipment were installed. The pilot was supported by an Astromech unit as co-pilot and in each wing was installed half a battery of proton torpedoes, allowing the Starfighter to quickly gain the upper hand in battle. Like its predecessors, the Arrowhead had an "S-foil mechanism" that helped the target sensors of the proton torpedoes to fire. Unlike most ships, the fighter was not powered by Tibanna gas, but by a mixture of 20% Tibanna gas and 80% Ratan fuel, which gave the fighter a speed that was difficult to achieve up to the time. A complex air filter system ran through the ship which helped cool the fuel. In the vacuum of space, the air intakes at the drives were sufficient to achieve the appropriate cooling, but in the atmosphere the air intakes at the nose had to be opened in order to reach the maximum speed there as well. This complex air filter system made the fighter incredibly popular by New Republic pilots as the fear of overheating and other technical problems was greatly reduced. Most V-11s spent most of their days in the ranks of Vector Squadron, a squadron consisting of various starfighters, bombers and BAAT as well as BAAD landers, which often reached their destination with little casualties due to the help of these shiptypes. The Starfighter received some modifications over the years but were still seen at the time of the Sith Eternal Empire and the subsequent Yuuzhan Vong Invasion.
MBricks helped me a lot to reset my render settings and get much better results. Please take a look at his profile;).

Here is the lineup of the Republic Loyalists who fled to Naboo in 18BBY in the @darktimesgroup and official Star Wars legends timeline.
Queen Apailana allowed refuge to a few survivors of the Jedi Purge, in return, they offered their services as personal bodyguards to the Queen.
A quick, rather straightforward build. Putting together those square panels was truly enjoyable. Since that printed dish came in trans-red I knew I would eventually try it.
This is surely my favourite TIE variant from the old E.U., one of the few that actually make sense to me.
Not much more to say here, enjoy ! :)

Walker by @malengarek
Terrain/Rockwork by @legofordo
The All Terrain Riot Control Transport (AT-RCT) also known as Clone Walker from the legendary clone Walker battle pack from 2008. It was intended to be heavily featured in Revenge of the Sith before being replaced by the well known AT-RT. During the production the Walker was nicknamed βTwin AT-ST.β
This however didnβt stop Expanded Universe authors from using the design in the Dark Times comic or Essential Guide to Vehicles/Warfare.
I included some reference images from the Dark Times comics, official concept art and untextured renders of the 3D model in the slides, hope you enjoyed this little history lesson. @darktimesgroup

Various Hasbro - Star Wars Mandalorian figures from before "The Mandamorian" show
Mostly from the "Elite Forces of the Republic" sets. Also from comic 2-packs and a few expanded universe singles
In the Dark Empire comic, the Imperial Sentinels are mute giants cloned to serve the Emperor's Dark Side Adepts.
The design was inspired by concept art from Return of the Jedi, the same art that was used for Atha Prime in the unproduced continuation of the old Kenner toyline in the 80's, as seen here: theswca.com/images-speci/85LineExt/index.html
The glowing eyes are not a digital effect; the figure has a light pipe feature in the head.
Produced en-mass by the World Devastators in the Dark Empire at the Battle of Calamari, these cheep and expendable ships where piloted by Ace-6 Droid Brains.

Updated and final version of my passion project. As a fan of the Expanded Universe I am very happy with how the whole MOC turned out.
Greetings and a happy new year everone! I hope all of you have a good time and have a good start into the new year. To finish the year I want to share my Imperial TX-130 Saber-Class Fighter Tank
The TX-130 was first developed by Rothana Heavy Engineering during the Clone Wars as a heavily armed and armored fighter tank. It was designed to support clone troopers on the battlefield by providing heavy fire support and troop transport capabilities. The TX-130 was first used by the Grand Army of the Republic during the latter days of the Clone Wars and quickly proved to be a valuable asset to the Republic's military forces.
After the fall of the Republic and the rise of the Galactic Empire, the TX-130 was put into mass production and was rebranded as the IFT-T (Imperial Fleet Troop Transport). The Empire utilized the IFT-T in many major engagements throughout the Galactic Civil War, often using them to ferry troops and equipment to battle locations. The IFT-T's heavy armor and powerful weapons made it a formidable opponent for rebel forces, and it was a key factor in the Empire's early victories.
As you can see, the IFT-T has a long and storied history, and it continues to be an important part of the Imperial Military's arsenal to this day.
This was built for the @darktimesgroup

A remixed fan-favorite from the old EU.
The "next gen" version of the Hapes Consortium's premier capital ship, manufactured by Olanji/Charubah. Armed with two rotating rings of turbolasers, defensive triple ion cannons on both saucers, eight hangars of Miy'til starfighters, and sixteen pulse-mass mines to stop enemy ships from fleeing.
The current generation leverages advances in material science and structural engineering techniques to avoid the need for rotation support struts present in the iconic first generation.
Darth Vader across the ages and through the multiverse. A prelude to my coming soonish ULTIMATE VADER ( it's going to be impressive look at all the capital letters I used )!
Bartholamew Vander - Outlaw
Doi Wada - Shogun of the Imperial Emperors Armies.
The Deathly Invader - Champion of the Empire.
Dark Vapor - Steam Baron.
Danny Viducchi - Enforcer for Don Palpatino.

The E-Wing was meant to replace the T-65 X-Wing. While still being a respectable ship, it was just not as iconic and the X-Wing series returned with the JX-series. First seen in the Dark Empire comics.

Previously: Chapter 8 - The district
The community has chosen A, and Finn leaves the district 2οΈβ£ and walks along the promenade. He looks around the upper floors (1135) and sees not only neon signs, but also many small stores selling food, drinks, ingredients, spices and other mixed things.
He sees isolated figures gambling and drinking around in corners. Some spareparts of droids, and in another corner occult objects with which a robot acts. π Finn stared in the direction and noticed that it is an animal. Is it a weightless cat that Finn saw there? Finn was confused by the animal. It was also staring at him all the time. π
What should Finn do?
Be a part of the story and decide what Finn should do A) ignore the cat or B) approach it? For a) leave a comment what finn should do under the post π or for b) like the post until 2023-02-28

Continuing the story of Star Wars Legends we move to the first book of the Darth Bane trilogy, Path of Destruction by Drew Karpyshyn, published in 2006. The highly detailed build by Alex shows part of the final Battle of Ruusan where the Sith Lords of Kaans Brotherhood of Darkness battle Jedi led by Master Hoth one final time. Ruusan was ravaged by years of war between jedi and the Sith at this point in time. Out of the chaos of this battle Darth Bane will rise victorious with every other Sith dead so he can reshape the Sith order to create the Rule of Two that ultimately ended up in Palpatine defeating the Jedi order and becoming emperor. Alex took the time to not just portray the battling Jedi and Sith, who rock cool light up lightsabers, but also gave us some of his amazing rockwork a nicely textured landing platform and showed off a great technique for trees.
This build was my part for the brickzlab star wars legends collaboration.
