Resurrecting the DEAD...game that I love!

The next step in my project was the figure out what I can actually make for characters that I can actually convert. I trust chatgpt to make the profiles.

I have altered my theme after doing some more research. The set of profiles will be called Among Traitors. I originally planned for it to focus on Umbara and Felucia. I’m keeping Felucia and replacing Umbara with the Battle of Jabiimi. I don’t have the skill level or resources to make the Umbaran forces right now and knowing my limits is important because I’m pressed for hobby time and money. I don’t want to waste it.

My research has largely been done on Wookiepedia (literally the best name for an online encyclopedia) as well as reading some old comic books from the local library.

Some background on the two battles and theme of traitors in each. When Disney bought Star Wars they killed the 20 years of material already built up in books and comics. They call them legends now and have a new canon. I prefer the old legends canon and am using that.

The Battle of Jabiim doesn’t exist in the new canon. In the old canon, Jabiim was a Republic world where a coup was launched by the commander of their special forces, Alto Stratus. He and his commandos aligned with the Separatist and formed the Nationalist Army. Jabiimi loyalists fought a civil war. The Jedi and clones were invited to fight on the loyalist side. It became a hellish battle in muddy trenches. For inspiration in my conversions I am looking at the Siege of Khe Sahn in 1968. The Vietnam War inspired so much of Star Wars. The images above are inspiration for the look I would like to achieve.

The Felucia campaign is clearly inspired by the Vietnam War. Felucia is a wild jungle world with very few populated settlements. The 182nd clone legion was deployed the capture Felucia and was annihilated. The Commerce Guild (a key Separatist faction) established headquarters on Felucia with the head of the Guild, Shu Mai staying there. The 327th Star Corps was deployed with Commander Bly and Jedi Master Aayla Secura. They were still engaged in conquering Felucia when order 66 was issued.

Here are the profiles I will make and miniatures I will create through conversions:

-Quinlan Voss*: Jedi general who worked as a double agent during the war to spy on the Separatists. Fought in the Felucia campaign.

-Commander Faie: By the books officer who works with and eventually betrays Quinlan Voss

-Clone Marshall Cody*: Fought alongside Obi Wan Kenobi throughout the war, including likely at Jabiim

-Ghost Company Trooper: Veteran clone paratroopers who fought under Cody

-Clone Marshall Bly: Commander of the 327th Star Corps. Senior clone officer at Felucia

-Clone Engineer: Armed with shotguns and demolition charges, engineers were key to building trenches on Jabiim and dealing with the jungle and predators on Felucia.

-AT-OT: All Terrain Open Transport is a walker used in both battles similar to the role of half tracks in WWII.

-Sev’rance Tann: Chiss warrior, turned dark side acolyte, known for commanding surprise raids until her death.

-Particle Cannon Turret: Dual cannon turret used by droid armies as an AT and AA platform.

-Alto Stratus: Leader of Jabiimi nationalists. Big guy with a big sword in armor. Capable of killing most Jedi.

-Jabiimi Nationalist Officer: Generic profile for officers of the Jabiimi nationalist army leading squads.

-Jabiimi Nationalist Soldier: Generic soldiers. Tough, hard to kill.

-Shu Mai: leader of the Commerce Guild. Not great in a fight but can organize resources.

-Gossam Commandos: Not for commando type raids. These Guys are elite bodyguards.

*These characters have existing profiles but they poorly depict the character
