A Mirialan explorer from a time before the Old Republic existed. Emin'ai Vandar'a explored much of the trade routes that would eventually be used more often in later years. Many times she happened upon unexplored territory that none would dare follow. Though her legacy eventually drew her to the "Unknown Regions," there is where many remembered her staying until the end of her days. Though, no one really knew what had become of her, save one legendary tale of her possibly discovering the means to traverse to many other, "unexplored" galaxies. Her best friend and companion on these voyages was a Bith explorer, hyperspace cartographer, and musician (😉) named Raadi Na'an.20240815_040641.jpg20240804_040948.jpg

Great start so far everyone!

Alongside Rik Duel and Chihdo, the Zeltron adventurer and master thief Dani crossed path with the heroes of the Rebel Alliance in their battle with the Empire.

Here's two:

Bafisi – a Shifala (Legends species) a member of the gray-haired mountain Shifala, Bafisi grew up in the caves of the northern mountain ranges of Carreras Major. He loved the light and longed for open spaces. When he was old enough to set out on his own, he headed for the capital city of Carreras Major, but quickly found the crowded city and prejudice against his “backward” sub-species intolerable. A quick study, Bafisi found his mountaineering skills made him as “at home” on a docking rig or the hull of a star cruiser as the cliffs of his home and he found work as a mechanic’s assistant at port. It wasn’t long before an opportunity to join a ship’s crew presented itself and Bafisi left Carreras major for the stars. He has settled in as crew on an geology expeditionary ship in a dual role doing mechanical work and mountaineering as needed

Nalitra Arkanree – Growing up in the slums of a sprawling city on Mirial, Nalitra always found the stars to be a source of comfort. Her love of the stars translated into a desire to fly starships, and it became something of an obsession for her through her teens. Finding every way possible to learn, she became a proficient pilot and left the crowded city for the peace and quiet of the stars as a helm’s assistant on board a heavy freighter. Traveling the star-lanes was a dream come true and eventually Nalitra was inherited a ship from an old pilot she served under. Now she maps star systems and travel routes for a cartography corporation.

Those are some great looking figures. What is the recipe if you don't mind sharing?

Bafisi is just a TVC Lando in disguise and Animal Warriors of the Kingdom Pale (that's the character name) head and arms.
Nalitra is the head from the X-Wing four pack (the Mirialan pilot); the torso is from a JoyToy "The Awakenings" LuoNing figure; the hands and legs are a TVC Luminara Unduli and the belt is from Animal Warriors of the Kingdom (don't remember which figure).
Hope that helps>

Bix Brolo-now retired, Bix spent several decades exploring the galaxy. He is responsible for discovering such wonders as the Crystal Caves of Kyros and the Lost City of Druun on Evax III. Using the wealth he obtained from his discoveries, he bought an island on the tropical world of Patu, and opened a resort. He and his family run the resort. He is often found at the Lodge, the resort's bar, telling tales and offering up advice to would be adventurers. 20240916_194149.jpg

Jarris Dorn and Pip-Up and coming Xenoarchaeogist Jarris Dorn came to the Lodge in search of an artifact that Bix has in his possession. The artifact is a Gree StarStone. This ancient device acts as a navigation tool to plot courses through hyperspace. Jarris believes it will lead to the Gree Enclave. Bix will allow Jarris to use it as long as his nephew Pip goes with him. Pip is a skilled pilot and navigator. 20240916_194231.jpg

Nat Keeson-Nat, another would be explorer has come to the Lodge in search of answers. He believes that Bix may have knowledge of the lost treasure of Captain Blackstar. Captain Blackstar was a ruthless pirate who raided ships operating in the Minos Cluster for over a decade. Legend has it that Blackstar's ship carrying all his booty crashed on an unknown planet somewhere in the Cluster. 20240916_194253.jpg

Ryeesa Vard – calling herself “Counterbalance” she is on a mission to find and eliminate the products of an illegal cloning experiment. An orphan, Ryeesa was reared by her adopted mother, a Miralukan mystic (Emerette nee Sarsha), and her adopted father (Killeck Vard), an Iktochi ex-Jedi Master who left the order due to a disagreement with the Jedi emphasis on no attachments. Growing up on a frontier planet and strong in the Force, Ryeesa was trained to be a survivor as well as a Force user. In a vision, Emerette saw other “Ryeesas” who would bring chaos and evil to the galaxy. Between them, her family determined that some of her DNA must have been extracted when she was young and used to produce “force clones.” Seeing these others as aberrations and a violation of her personhood, Ryeesa set off on a quest to “right the balance” of things. Not foolish enough to attempt this on her own, she gathered allies in her quest along the way.
