Setting Sail - Mission 18.2: Crisis on Kashyyyk

            „New orders, boys!“ I shouted over the hammering sound of the cannon operated by Mag’ro. „We’re to regroup at the waterside. The Trandos have positioned themselves between the village and the island ahead, where the 3rd regiment is now trapped.“ An explosion shook the tree as Mag’ro took down another hovercraft. „Damn Trandos! What’s the plan?“ „The Wookies are attempting to meet them on the water. We’ll join them. Pack up!“ Burning shrapnel was raining down onto the platform and small fires were eating away at the tree. It was the ideal moment to leave. „No time for taking the stairs. Quick exit strategy!“ I shouted. We had trained this a hundred time on Kamino: quick descent using the harpoon cables of our blasters. Our feet hit the sand and we sprinted to the beach, dodging bullets. A Wookie was waving at us. „That’s our ride boys!“ I pointed at a small, sleek boat. We had read about these crafts in the briefing. They had been hand crafted by Wookies ages ago. Wookie culture was all about honoring your ancestors, so nothing was ever destroyed or dissembled. Instead, each and anything crafted in ancient times was re-used, re-fitted and improved for modern use. In this case this meant nothing more than that a huge propeller engine had been strapped to the fragile fishing vessel. „You can’t be serious…“ Mag’ro sighed. „I always wanted a yacht!“ Koi was much more excited than him apparently. The engine of the boat was already running and it was just being held in place by one Wookie. „All aboard! Koi, you take starboard, Mag’ro, backboard. I’ll steer!“ „Aye, aye, Lieutenant!“ We jumped onto the boat and the Wookie let go. The craft jumped forward, the power of the engine finally released from the grip of the warrior. Shab, Wookies were strong indeed. „Alright, boys, the chieftain is waiting for us! let’s find his ship and make sure we reach the Trandos together! It is time to show these lizard di’kuts what happens when you mess with our fuzzy friends!

__________________________

You can’t imagine how much fun it was to build this thing! I always loved the design of the Wookies vehicles in Revenge of the Sith, especially the catamaran. I kind of borrowed some techniques form the 2005 Lego rendition of it, too. This mission entry probably violates all rules of the 253rd Legion, but I could help but go all out on this one. I hope you like it as much as I do!
