Clone shadow troopers were an elite cadre of clone troopers devised by Director Armand Isard ( the dad of Ysanne Isard) of Republic Intelligence during the Clone Wars.
Since the numbers of the Advanced Recon Commandos were dwindling, Isard created the shadow troopers as a reconnaissance unit, who, with the benefit of significantly modified and expensive armor, could operate covertly and undercover. Using magseals installed in their armor, shadow troopers could attach plates to themselves that could pass them off as mercenaries belonging to specific factions.
With that advantage, they could infiltrate facilities and gather intelligence with ease.
During the late stages of the war, the role of the shadow trooper expanded, with some performing sniper duties, while others would be used on the battlefield.
Though their jamming systems prevented them from working alongside standard troopers, shadow troopers were occasionally dispatched before large-scale invasions to install jamming devices in critical cities, allowing their comrades to infiltrate their targets with stealth and efficiency.
Shadow troopers later saw use in the Galactic Empire as guards to facilities and individuals.
In particular, Inquisitor Valin Draco enlisted a group of troopers for his expedition to the Almas Academy.
The shadow troopers would later become the model on which storm commandos and shadow stormtroopers were based.
Deliah Blue was a female Zeltron chief mechanic of the Mynock and a longtime companion of Cade Skywalker and Jariah Syn during their careers as bounty hunters in the wake of Sith–Imperial War and the Second Imperial Civil War.
Jerec was a powerful Miraluka Jedi Master and Jedi archaeologist who turned to the dark side under the Empire, becoming a feared Inquisitor during the Galactic Civil War. Jerec was apprenticed to a Jedi archaeologist, Jocasta Nu, and became a Jedi archaeologist himself, versed in the knowledge of the Jedi's past, especially the Sith.
A Jedi Master during the Clone Wars, he was on a long-term deployment searching for ancient knowledge in the Unknown Regions when Order 66 was issued.
Upon his return, Jerec was found by the Inquisitorius and turned to the dark side.
Jerec served the Empire as an Inquisitor for many years.
However, Jerec was, in truth, devoted only to himself.
One of the most powerful Dark Jedi in the Empire, Jerec continually sought ways to increase his power and take the Empire for himself.
One of his chief obsessions was the Valley of the Jedi on the lost planet of Ruusan, which contained vast amounts of trapped Force power.
After the Emperor's death at Endor, Jerec formed a band of seven Dark Jedi to seek out the Valley.
He was able to find the legendary well of energy and reached incredible heights of power by basking in its aura.
However, for all his power, he was defeated in combat by Kyle Katarn, a novice Jedi who fulfilled an ancient prophecy, regarding freeing the Valley's trapped Jedi and Sith spirits.
When Katarn offered him his fallen lightsaber in a final act of mercy, Jerec made one last attack and was struck down in the heart of the Valley.

A professional photographer approached my Rebel Legion Base looking for anyone willing to pose for pictures to add to his portfolio, so of course I volunteered.
I spent 6 hours in the attic of an old rundown closed night club in New Bedford dressed as a Jedi and then a Pirate for photos. Despite the 90 degree heat it was a lot of fun and some pretty cool photos were taken. This being one of them. ^_^

Armand Isard was a male Human who served the Galactic Republic as both the Director of the Senate Bureau of Intelligence and the Director of Republic Intelligence, and he later acted as the Director of Imperial Intelligence for the Republic's successor regime, the Galactic Empire.
From humble beginnings as an agent within the Senate Bureau of Intelligence, Isard worked his way up through the ranks, doing sterling work for the Republic, and he became a close ally of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, the Republic's leader.
During the Clone Wars, a conflict between the Republic and the breakaway Confederacy of Independent Systems, Isard aided the Republic's war effort as a member of the Security and Intelligence Council, a war council made up of Palpatine's most trusted advisors.
Following the formation of the Empire in 19 BBY, Isard continued to serve Palpatine, as the leader of Imperial Intelligence.
He worked closely with Palpatine's Sith apprentice Lord Vader and the Inquisitorius to hunt down the survivors of Order 66, a decree issued by Palpatine that called for the execution of all members of the Jedi Order. On several occasions, Isard's men were able to pinpoint the location of Jedi for the benefit of Vader or Inquisitor Antinnis Tremayne.
Simultaneously, Isard began grooming his daughter, Ysanne, for a career as a field operative within Imperial Intelligence.
After the outbreak of a civil war between the Empire and the Rebel Alliance, Isard acted to crush Rebel cells, and he also dispatched the Imperial agent Jahan Cross to investigate a clandestine project in the Corporate Sector.
As Ysanne grew, she became more and more capable in her role as an intelligence operative, and, naturally, Armand felt threatened.
He sent her on a mission to the planet Darkknell to recover some stolen Imperial plans as a means of getting rid of her, convinced that she would be unsuccessful and would be executed for her failure. Much to Armand's surprise, she deduced his motives for sending her on the assignment and had Armand framed for treason.
Ysanne was rumored to have personally executed him, ending his decades-long career as Director of Intelligence and launching her own.

Nera Dantels was a Human female smuggler and captain of the freighter Starduster who joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War.
In 0 BBY, the Alliance had a critical shortage of astromech droids, and Dantels arranged to rendezvous with members of Red Squadron on Commenor to deliver a dozen R2 and R5-series astromech droids to the Rebels.
The group came under attack from Imperial TIE fighters as they attempted to leave the Commenor system, but Dantels managed to take the Starduster to hyperspace and followed Red Squadron to the Rebel base on Yavin 4.
While there, Dantels helped Red Squadron pilot Biggs Darklighter to find a rare plant in the jungle, an extract from which was used to treat pilot Derek Klivian, who was suffering from an unknown infection.
Dantels and Darklighter began a brief relationship, but Darklighter was killed in combat against the Empire's Death Star battlestation soon after.
Seven months later, Dantels was part of a diplomatic team sent to Jabiim to negotiate an alliance with the Jabiimi Loyalists.
When the Jabiimi realized that Rebel pilot Luke Skywalker was the son of Jedi General Anakin Skywalker, who had abandoned them during the Second Battle of Jabiim in the Clone Wars, Dantels and the other Rebels were taken into custody.
Escaping during a subsequent Imperial attack on the Loyalist base, Dantels and Princess Leia Organa reached the Starduster and returned to rescue Skywalker. Unable to help the Loyalists as the Imperials began an orbital bombardment of the planet, Dantels and the other Rebels were forced to flee.
Two months after the Jabiim mission, Dantels joined Dagger Squadron in a raid to rescue a Rebel team that had been stranded on the Imperial refueling and supply depot Bannistar Station

In 19 BBY Anakin and Obi-Wan Kenobi are sent to the planet Nelvaan by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and Jedi Master Mace to find General Grievous.
While there, Anakin is dispatched on a quest by a village shaman. In a cave decorated with primitive drawings, Anakin sees powerful visions of his future.
To carry the memory of this experience with him, he has the drawings tattooed on his body.
Then Anakin uncovered a CIS base containing a siphon generator powered by a geothermal crystal and kept the planet in its frozen state.
A group of Skakoan combat engineers were stationed at the base, creating mutant Nelvaanians at the request of Grievous. +
Harvos, the only Nelvaanian captive who had yet to be altered, was placed in a tank and immersed in green liquid, slowly mutating him. Still, he managed to break free and assisted the young Jedi freeing the mutant Nelvaanians.
Skywalker then scaled the siphon generator and destroyed the crystal powering it, risking damage to his prosthetic arm. Finally, as the planet's ice age came to a close, Skywalker clambered to the surface, killing off the Skakoans and their leader.
After Skywalker returned the Nelvaanian males to Rokrul, he and Kenobi departed the planet in the Integrity.

Kayla as Jacen Solo
Cavalyn as Jaina Solo
Natalie as Tahiri Veila
Russ as Jagged Fel
Kyle as Mara Jade
So after DragonCon my friend Kayla gave me the picture of her as Jacen standing over Mara to edit and I just found it again today. The quality was pretty bad so I was pretty limited in what I could do with it but I eventually came up with this. I'm pretty sure this isn't what she had in mind but I think it came out okay. Not my best edit but it's okay.
The 187th Legion, also known as Mace Windu's Attack Battalion, was a legion of elite clone troopers served under High Jedi General Mace Windu and an unidentified clone commander who wore clone paratrooper armor. They were distinguished by the purple markings on their armor, which matched Windu's hurrikaine lightsaber crystal in color.
The Raptors were an elite military unit formed by Warlord Zsinj after breaking away from the Galactic Empire's authority.
Intended to replace stormtroopers as the primary enforcers of Zsinj's rule, Raptors quickly became as feared as the Stormtrooper Corps among Zsinj's subjects.
Valin Draco was a male Human Jedi Knight who was the student of Jedi Master Denia during the waning years of the Galactic Republic. Following the outbreak of the Clone Wars, he fought for the Republic against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. However, his resolve to destroy the Confederacy drew him towards the dark side of the Force, and after he was almost killed during the Battle of Parein II 4, he fell fully into its grip.
Following the creation of the Galactic Empire, Draco allied himself with it and became a member of the Inquisitorius, an order of Dark Side Adepts that served the New Order. He adapted well to his new position and soon formulated a plan to try and find evidence that Senator Bail Organa had betrayed the Empire. Draco suspected that Organa was the leader of a resistance group based on Alderaan, and he helped Admiral Gilder Varth to infiltrate the movement. He also became part of the Sarlacc Project, a secret collaboration between the Inquisitorius and the Imperial Navy to build a Super Star Destroyer prototype.
When a powerful Force nexus began to develop on the planet Almas, Draco was sent to investigate it. In the ruins of the Almas Academy, a Jedi academy that was destroyed during the Clone Wars, he discovered and learned Force techniques from a Sith holocron that was constructed by the ancient Sith Lord Darth Rivan. However, Draco was seriously injured after an encounter with the Alderaanian Resistance, and had to be fitted with extensive cybernetics. He gained revenge by attacking a Resistance task force and capturing Denia, his former master. He took her to the headquarters of the Inquisitorius on Prakith, a planet located in the Deep Core, and tortured her there. However, a rescue team traveled to Prakith to free her, and Denia sacrificed herself to weaken Draco, forcing him to flee to the planet Byss where the Super Star Destroyer prototype was under construction. There, Draco took command of a Golan space defense platform that was protecting the prototype and he was killed when the platform was attacked by the Alderaanian Resistance.
Aiwha Squad was an elite clone commando unit, and was part of the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars.
This unit was named after the native Aiwhas of Kamino.
In 19 BBY Aiwha Squad were involved in the Battle of Garqi, where they were tasked with searching for civilian refugees following a Republic bombing campaign While searching a building, Zag found a Human little boy named Evan. Evan was forcibly escorted by the Aiwhas.
When he tried and run away, the little boy was attacked by a homing spider droid, but Sarge, the leader of the squad, threw a rock at the droid, and the rest of the commandos ambushed it.
Going to the refugee camp, the commandos dropped Evan off, and conversed with Jedi General Traavis but At that moment, Order 66 was issued, and the commandos were forced to kill the Jedi General in front of the little boy.
Sarge then explained that it was an order, and that clones don't question orders to the crying little boy.

Silri was a powerful Nightsister, a dark side witch of Dathomir. She worked for Tyber Zann and his criminal syndicate, the Zann Consortium, in the time following the Battle of Yavin in the hopes of being able to witness and partake in the destruction that Zann intended on causing.
In combat, she used dark side powers, such as Drain Life, and also a lightwhip, an exotic variant of the traditional lightsaber. Silri also had a pet rancor, Cuddles, that she could summon during battle.
Emperors Shadow Guard was an organization of Force-sensitive soldiers recruited from the defeated remnants of the Sun Guard( an Thyrsian religious group and one of the most feared mercenary units in the galaxy) and Jedi Knights who fell to the dark side after Order 66.
They served the Galactic Empire during the Great Jedi Purge and were trained by Emperor Palpatine's apprentice, Darth Vader.
Dr Aphra 3.75" with removable hat: Uses TVC 129 with modified head. I took off the hat w/hair piece from the head and dremeled out the inside of the hat to make it thinner and cut off the hair pieces - I left a little bit of the hair at the ends of the hat flaps and painted them as though they were straps. I thinned out and modified a hair piece taken off a Marvel Infinites Emma Frost, then repainted and glued it to the Dr Aphra head.
Black Krrsantan 3.75" custom: Uses parts from 2 TBS Merumeru figures. I replaced the right forearm on one with a left one from the other. The head is from a POTJ Chewbacca Mechanic with the deadlocks attached from a Merumeru. The bandolier is made combining parts from the 2 Merumeru. The spikes on the shoulder plates are horns cut from some cheap small dinosaur figures. The buckle is made from parts of the bandolier, with a piece of celtic knot jewellery in the centre. Bowcaster from SW Saga 03/14 Chewbacca Mynock Hunt.

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.
