The Bopox Siblings

The Bopox siblings are heirs to their parents' shiping company fortunes and decided to pass the time until their trust funds come of age by playing pirate above the high seas of Aquos. Originally crewing the "Black Pearl" under the command of Captain Jak Sparrow, they were key players in fostering the mutiny that exiled Sparrow to hopefully gain power for themselves. After the entirety of the "Tortuga's Raiders" clan was absorbed into the command of "Bloody" Bil Ni'Hee, they saw where the real power lay and petitioned Ni'Hee to let them serve aboard his flagship. Ni'Hee was well aware of the reputations of the "billionaire pirate wannabes" and told them that the only way they would be allowed to serve aboard his vessel wold be for them to perform an act of violence to prove their loyalty. Leema and Leedo, the two older members of the trio looked at each other and then savagely plunged their swords into Breedo, their younger, weaker, brother, killing him without remorse. Leema and Leedo now serve aboard the "Reaper" learning lessons that they hope will aid them in the boardroom when they take control of their family business...

"Gurgles"

The silent, hulking helmsman known as "Gurgles" to Maelstrom's crew has been in service aboard the vessel for so long that many have taken to joking that when the ship launched from drydock over a hundred standard years ago "Gurgles" had already been aboard for a week. Next to nothing is known about "Gurgles". "Gurgles" does not speak, although appearing to fully understand Basic, Huttese, and a few of the other trade languages. No one knows if "Gurgles" is male or female, nor even what species it is or homeworld it hails from originally, only that it breaths water exclusively. Some among the more superstitious crewmembers believe "Gurgles" to be a surviving At'Alantian, although no conclusive proof that the lost civilization ever even existed in the first place can be found. No one even knows it's actual name, the crew just took to calling it "Gurgles" due to the constant sound emitted from it's water-circulating breathing apparatus. One interesting trait that it posesses is a blaster resistant hide, during a skirmish with the Jade Dragons almost ten standard years ago, "Gurgles" was shot in the chest at point blank range by a Jade Dragon boarder but just shrugged it off and continued piloting the Maelstrom through evasive maneuvers.

Mondar found work as a pirate first aboard the Black Pearl, but grew tired of Captain Jak Sparrow's buffoonery and desire for attention. Stealing one of the Black Pearl's small transport skiffs, he jumped ship in the middle of the night and headed for the last known location of Captain Ko Zibar's Maelstrom. Mondar served with distinction aboard the Maelstrom and maintains a position of seniority under the current commander, Zibar's son Captain Zan Zibar.

Excerpt from the field report of Galactic Intelligence: Joint Operations Elite aquatic warfare specialist Deep Six:

Shortly after my covert arrival on Aquos, my planetside contact brought me to see a being known as "The Last Prophet", a native Aqualon who claims to be the keeper of Aquos' ancient secrets. The being I was brought to meet entered the room, flanked by several younger Aqualon handlers, his robe shifting color between blue and green as if made from the very oceans themselves. As he entered, leaning on his rather odd walking stick, my eyes were drawn to the strange copperoid key hangng below the brilliant blue jewel at the staff's apex.

An interesting physiological aside about Aqualons- as they age, they develope increasing numbers of facial tentacles. Although I know very little about the overall phsyology of the average Aqualon, judging by the abundance of facial tentacles on the Last Prophet, he must be ancient.

The Last Prophet began his narrative:

 "Many thousands of years ago, Aquos was home to two races, the primitive Aqualon and the mighty At'Alantians. Guarded by thier massive protector, the Leviathan, the At'Alantians were masters of a power that enabled them to achieve all of their dreams. A power that allowed them to work miracles. But ultimately, a power that caused their destruction. The high priests of At'Alantis grew corrupt with power, and ultimately corrupted the very power that allowed them to exist. As punishment for their sins, in a single night, the mighty continent of At'Alantis sank beneath the waves. An emisary known to us in legend as "The First Prophet" survived the cataclysm, sailing alone in a tiny At'Alantian craft until he set foot apon the island of Octopon. He had with him a locked chest containing the fabled "Seven Keys Of At'Alantis" as well as an amulet and a small puzzle box, both carrying symbols of At'Alantian antiquity. The "First Prophet" also brought with him a tome containing the wisdom of At'Alantis, a tome that has become sacred to us.

As per his instructions, the seven keys would be spread to each of the seven spiritual leaders of the Aqualon to keep until such time as a cleansed At'Alantis will rise from the depths to usher in a new golden age for all of Aquos. When the time was right, an emissary from the stars would appear, reuniting the seven Keys as well as all of the people of Aquos, allowing At'Alantis' return to glory. The amulet and puzzle box would guide the emissary to At'Alantis' resting place when reunited with the "Keys" and their riddles were solved. The priests on Octopon did as the "First Prophet" instructed and sent couriers to the other six sects, each carrying one of the fabled "Keys" and a newly printed copy of the tome.

The "Keys" were guarded for thousands of years and the wisdom of At'Alantis became the central beliefs of the Aqualon as we developed into a more advanced society. Were it not for this wisdom, we never would have survived the "Dark Ages" and would have continued warring amongst ourselves until no Aqualon survived. Even in the face of our race's enslavement by the colonists, we held onto these beliefs and waited for the day when At'Alantis would once again rise and set us free.

Over five hundred years ago, the first pirate lord Jol'ee Raj'r, ransacked five of the temples containing the "Keys". He slaughtered the temples' occupants and stole the artifacts, distributing them to his top men, keeping the fifth one for himself. These men, using the influence of their posession of the "Keys", gathered together all of the various pirate vessels together into what would, over the centuries, become the five pirate clans, all originally flying Raj'r's skull flag. The sixth and seventh "Keys" were quickly hidden, lest we lose them as well. The remaining keys would be handed down from Prophet to Propet, keeping them safe until they could be reunited with their pilfered bretheren. Over the centuries one of the "Keys" vanished when the ship containing it's guardian Prophet disappeared while traversing the ninth sea. The seventh and final "Key" is in my posession, along with the amulet and puzzle box.

The time of At'Alantis' rising is growing near. The return of the Leviathan is the sign! You must reclaim the stolen "Keys" and discover the wherabouts of the missing seventh "Key". Only then will the amulet and box show you the way to the resting place of At'Alantis! You must do this for the sake of all Aquos!..."

He began to grow more and more agitated until his handlers finally had to usher him from the room and sedate him lest he suffer a coronary reaction. I understood the Leviathan attack connection, but asked my contact what this legend had to do with the recent coordination between the pirate clans that I was investigating. He had no answer for me, only stating that he was instructed to bring me to the Last Prophet for an audience.

This mission was going to be interesting...

Dirk Twoswords

Dirk wears armor of Gungan design taken from a Gungan General he killed in a bar fight, leading to his having to flee Naboo. Dirk made his way across the galaxy first as a merc and bounty hunter, then crewing for the Scarlet Claws pirate gang. Twoswords loves nothing more than getting up close and slashing his opponents to ribbons with his two vibro swords. Twoswords refuses to use ranged weapon of any kind as it is not a worthy kill unless you are close enough to be sprayed with your enemy's blood. Twoswords psychotic nature is quite at home on the Maelstrom.

Ioz

There are no records of the humanoid known as "Ioz" anywhere in the known galaxy until a few months ago when he suddenly appeared on Aquos. If you ask Ioz how he got here, and you're buying the ale, he'll tell you his tale. According to him, he and three companions from the planet Mer (completely unrelated to the Mer of our own galaxy) in another galaxy arrived on Aquos by travelling through a portal called a "stargate" that they discovered in an underwater palace on Mer. Ioz and his companions were attempting to destroy the portal before it fell into the hands of an evil Pirate Lord named Bloth. One of his companions, a clumsy creature called a monkeybird, accidentially activated the portal and they all fell through the device before the charges went off, destroying it, thereby leaving them no way home. The group found themselves in an underwater city of the most beautiful copper metal. Unfortunately for them, the city was completely submerged and they barely made it into an air filled glass dome (although the monkeybird apparently drowned on arrival, although Ioz grins evily while telling this portion of the tale...). Blasting the dome free they rode the rising air bubble up to the surface and were picked up by a Crimson Corsair vessel.

From here, Ioz's story is documented- he and his companions were given the choice of joining the ship's crew or walking the plank. Ioz, deciding that he had had enough of being a hero, joined up while his shocked companions vowed never to serve an evil pirate lord. They walked the plank. Ioz quickly rose up the ranks and eventually found himself serving aboard Ni'Hee's flagship, the Reaper. When the Crimson Corsairs absorbed the Tortuga's Raiders pirate clan, Ioz was awarded command of the Raider's flagship, the Black Pearl. Ioz earned this by beheading the former captain, Hex Bar'Bossa as an example to keep the rest of the Raiders in line.

During his captaincy of the Pearl, Ioz suffered a near-mortal wound at the hands of the psychotic sworsman Dirk Twoswords. The wound required massive head surgery to save Ioz's life, requiring the shaving of his head. Ioz refused to lose his two braids, of religious signifigance to his people, and they were spared (although horribly singed during the battle). Ioz bears the scars of his wound and continues to shave his head as a show of strength and his endurance.

Pintel + Regetti

The schemers Pintel and Regetti were the driving force behind the mutiny of Captain Jak Sparrow. They hoped to usurp Sparrow's power for themselves but lacked the charisma to do so on their own. They lucked out when the Pearl's former captain, Hex Bar'bossa escaped from prison and sought refuge with Tortuga's Raiders. They were ultimately unaware of Bar'bossa's plan of offering up the Raiders to Ni'Hee, a move which ultimately got him killed. Pintel and Regetti still scheme away, now looking for a way to get rid of the Pearl's current, Ni'Hee appointed captain, Ioz...

Excerpt from the files of Galactic Intelligence: Joint Operations Elite aquatic warfare specialist codename: Deep Six:

On a world 95% covered with water, any dry land is valuable real estate. The planet's single large continent, Pandawa, the seat of governmental power is by far the most expensive place to live on Aquos. There are thousands of smaller land masses that dot the vast seas and all are precious commodities. There is, however, a massive artificial island floating above the seas, constantly changing location, but every pirate worth his place on a ship can always find it. Constructed from a massive Ithorian herdship, Basin City is the most wretched hive of scum and villiany on Aquos. Any vice known to the galaxy can be easily procured in Basin City, or "Sin City" as it is sometimes known. Organized crime runs rampant and turf wars often break out between the various gangs that call Basin City home. However, there is one power that reigns supreme in Basin City, the owner of the herdship, the one that all of the other crimelords pay tribute to...the Hutt known as Jahnda. Jahnda The Hutt's power reaches far beyond Basin City. He is so well known that most pirates simply refer to Basin City as "Jahndatown"....

 Jahnda The Hutt was born with a birth defect that rendered him inferior and unacknowledged to the rest of the Hutt society for being less than perfect. Jahnda's hands were deformed, leaving him with a pair of knobby, hard callused fingers and a similarly disfigured thumb on each hand instead of the three stubby fingers and thumb typical of his race. Due to his deformity, Jahnda was disowned by his parents and forbidden from holding any positon of power within any Hutt-run organization. Jahnda bided his time, serving in lowly positions and learning everything he could about the dirty dealings of Hutt business, all the while siphoning off small amounts of profit into a code-locked personal account. After seveal years of servitude, Jahnda made his move, killing his mother and taking all of her liquid assets before fleeing his homeworld. Jahnda fled to the outermost reaches of the galaxy aquiring new contacts and business associates. During his journies, Jahhnda aquired his herdship after conning some poor Ithorian colonists and stranding them on a business rival's personal vacation moon, which Janda had neglected to inform the colonists that he didn't actually own. Jahnda eventually settled on Aquos almost 200 years ago, and using his ill-gotten funds, quickly set himslf up as a power player in every illicit business he could find. He specializes in gun-running, and was almost single handedly responsible for arming the majority of the pirates and criminals on the planet when he imported over a quarter of a million units of surplus Clone Wars-era weaponry after the galaxy-spanning war came to an end. These antiquated weapons can still widely be found in the hands of all classes of criminals to his day.

Never one to stand on the sidelines during his time building his criminal empire, Jahnda has often taken it apon himself to deal with his enemies personally. Unlike most Hutts, Jahnda will actually get his hands dirty instead of sending in his lackeys, as he believes that this will make his enemies will fear and respect him even more. This attitude has made Jahnda the single most powerful being on Aquos, but cost him an eye early in his career when an opponent got inside of his reach and slashed Jahnda across the left side of his face with a vibrosword. Instead of getting a cloned replacement eye and bacta treatments to repair the damage, Janda left the scar and and screwed an ornamental carved disc over his empty eyesocket to show his enemies that he would not be intimidated. Janda's power base grew exponentially after that incident.

Jahnda The Hutt rules the underworld of Aquos with an iron fist. He does not suffer fools and makes examples out of those that cross or fail him by severing one of their fingers as a first warning. Jahnda wears these fingers on a chain around his massive neck for all to see. If someone crosses him a scond time, they are disposed of permanently. Jahnda The Hutt is most likely the single most dangerous being on this planet.

And it just keeps getting worse as I have received word that Jahnda has just aquired 3000 highly advanced blaster rifles manufactured by our good friends at M.A.R.S. Advanced blaster rifles capable of being fired both above and below the waves with equally deadly power...

NM-E9

Designed during the waning days of the Clone Wars, the Confederacy Of Independant Systems NME-Series Hunter Killer Droids were never deployed to the battlefield as the war came to a close just days before they could go into production. A few prototypes were constructed and were either destroyed after the war or ended up in the hands of private collectors. Jahnda The Hutt was able to aquire unit NM-E9 and has employed it as his personal bodyguard for almost 40 years now. NM-E9's three multi-directional blasters are each independantly guided by a dedicated photoreceptor eye located atop the pod each blaster is mounted on allowing for a full 360 degree field of fire. NM-E9 is also equipped with a personal forcefield generator similiar to those found on CIS Droidikas making it a truly formidable and nearly unstoppable weapon.

NM-E9:










Parts:
Entirely scratchbuilt from several different MicroMachnes, G.I.Joe Scoop pistols, and assorted greebles.

C3-H2

Jahnda The Hutt's personal protocol droid has been heavily modified to include a holoprojector scrounged from a damaged R2 unit. The holoprojector takes the place of C3-H2's right photoreceptor eye and is fed by an additional power/data cable run from it's back mounted power source/processor to the back of it's head.

Ravage

Slinking through the shadowed alleyways of Basin City, Jahnda The Hutt's most notorious spy gathers intel on all of the illicit goings on in the vast floating city. The stealthy felinoid droid known as Ravage is packed with equipment that renders it invisible to all forms of sensor equipment as well as a state of the art holographic recording unit to document all of the plots it uncovers. If a threat to Jahnda is uncovered during Ravage's travels, it often takes matters into it's own claws and eliminates the threat with it's durosteel teeth or the vibro blades in it's paws or at the end of it's tail. If you mean ill will against it's master, pray that you never see it's red photoreceptors in the dark....

Ki'ro has always been a malcontent and a criminal, mostly petty thievery, and was considered the black bantha of his otherwise respected family. He coveted I'krit, the beautiful wife of his brother Fam'ir, and sought to do away with his brother and take his wife for his own. Ki'ro lured Fam'ir out into the Jundland Wastes on an errand to retrieve a lost droid belonging to a friend. While in the desert, he bludgeoned his brother to death with a gaderffi stick he had found weeks earlier. He brought his brother's body home to I'krit, along with the murder weapon. Ki'ro claimed that his dear brother had been killed by a Tusken Raider and that he had scared off the Tusken but it had been too late to save Fam'ir's life. As I'krit fell to her knees sobbing, Ki'ro embraced her and began making innappropriate advances on her. I'krit spurned his clumsy advances, tore herself from his grasp, and screamed at him for disprespecting his brother's memory and honor in such a fashion, enraging Ki'ro. Ki'ro advanced on her, telling her that she was his now. When she rejected him again, he drew his vibroscimitar and slew her as he felt that if she would not be his, no one else could have her. Unbeknownst to Ki'ro, Fam'ir and I'krit's oldest daughter had seen Ki'ro murder her mother and fled to the family great house and roused the other relatives. They pursued Ki'ro but he lost them in the canyons that he knew so well due to his criminal activities.

Ki'ro made his way to Mos Espa and hopped a tramp freighter offworld. Ki'ro served with several different pirate crews before making his way to Aquos, figuring that the last place the authorities would look for a native desert dweller would be on a planet covered by water. Ki'ro served aboard the Reaper before being transferred to the Black Pearl to keep watch for possible mutiny attempts against the Ni'Hee appointed captain Ioz.

Ika'Bel

Ika'Bel, the hulking Mon Calamari gunnery commander of the Black Pearl is well liked and respected among the motley crew of pirates that call the Pearl home. During the escape of former captain Jak Sparrow, Ika'Bel noticed that first mate Gibbs had disabled the Pearl's engines so as to prevent pursuit of the stolen skiff he planned to rescue Sparrow with. Knowing full well that Bar'Bossa would order to fire apon the skiff, he disabled the power to the ship's defenses. After the escape, he claimed that Gibbs had disabled the weapons along with the engines.

Ika'Bel continues to serve with distinction aboard the Pearl, but he also secretly feeds intelligence to the renegade Captain Sparrow via messages transmitted by Gim Haw'kens' belt micro transmitter, alerting Sparrow to any attempts to capture him.

Gim Haw'kens

Gimessa "Gim" Haw'kens ran away from home when she was eleven standard years old. Her father, a B-Wing pilot, had heroically died in the Battle Of Endor when she was a baby and her mother, now a New Republic officer had little time for her, leaving her to be raised by a nannydroid. Gim slipped out of her home in the middle of the night after rewiring her nannydroid to keep it in sleep mode. She disguised her slim frame in male clothing and used a counterfeit credit voucher to secure transport offworld. Gim had grown up reading tales of high adventure, particularly loving those set on the high seas of Mon Calamari and Mer, but knew that these two fiercely loyal New republic worlds could not be a haven to her. She found references to Aquos on the holo-net and eventually made her way there.

Once reaching Aquos, she signed on as cabin boy on the Black Pearl. Her true gender went unnoticed by the crew for over 4 years until she had physically developed to the point where even baggy clothes could no longer hide her physique. The letcherous pirate Rigetti was the first to truly notice her "developments", and he tried to blackmail her into heeping her secret quiet in exchange for certain "favors". But Rigetti bit off more than he could chew when he actually attempted to lay hands on her, Gim drew the small vibroknife from her boot and Rigetti lost an eye.

Gim revealed her true gender to the crew herself to take away any power the now maimed Rigetti could even attempt to hold over her. Most of the crew could have cared less as there were already several female pirates of many different species aboard the Pearl. Several crewmen were actually very relieved about the fact that she was female as they had been at sea for quite some time and had begun to worry that they really liked the look of a young man's backside in crewer's pants.....

Gim is fiercly loyal to the now exiled Captain Jak Sparrow, even sporting a small bird tattoo on her left shoulder in defiance of the new captain, Ioz. She conspires with Ika'Bel to feed information and warnings to her former captain via a small microtransmitter disguised as a platinomium skull on her belt. She hopes to someday reinstate her friend as the rightful captain of the Black Pearl.

Her mother is currently using all of the intelligence contacts at her disposal to find her wayward daughter..........

Parts:
Entire figure: "Speec Racer" Trixie (modded)
Belt- custom
Blaster- Saga Zam Wessel
Sword- POTC:AWE deluxe Elizabeth Swann
Hat- TSC Tattooine Luke Skywalker (modded)

This is a character that I was at a loss as to how I would create her. There was a serious dearth of small, teen-sized female action figures on the market to use as a base body. I wanted her to be really petite, so she could have easily passed for a young boy. The Speed racer Trixie figure only comes up to most standard male Star Wars figures' shoulders so she was perfect for my needs.

[The Spectre]

The Reaper deck defender known as Mi'karo Fett'avoz claims to be a decendant of the Mandalorian warriors that once ravaged the galaxy. No one really believes him though because as of late, so called "decendants" of the Mandalorians are popping up all over the galaxy as losers and malcontents on every planet are trying to boost their personal reputations by using the Mandalore name. More than likely, Fett'avoz either bought or found the battered Mandalorian helm that he wears atop the dirty rags he calls a uniform. Fett'avoz carries an antiquated scattergun which fires metal shrapnel encapsulated in an energy packet. While incredibly deadly at close range, the scattergun is almost useless if fired at a taget more than ten meters away as the energy packet rapidly losed cohesion and the shrapnel loses velocity and usually hits far targets rather gently, doing little more than causing simple abrasions. Scatterguns are a common sight in the hands of deck defenders though as they rip boarders apart at close range.

Mi'karo Fett'avoz:

Head- Saga Deluxe Snap On Armor Jango Fett (modded)
Body- "Indiana Jones" Cemetary Warrior (modded w/ custom neckball)
Scattergun- TAC McQuarrie Snowtrooper
