Fanclub **Guardians of Light: The EUC Jedi ~ ~ Close Your Eyes... Feel It... the Light. ~ ~**

Sleeping... eating... that's basically the same thing right? I can't get up to much outside of work, so lots of gaming with friends online, nothing exciting to share

 

SWTOR is unfortunately my time sink of choice I've gotten into veteran (hard) mode raiding in the last year and I have almost all the veteran mode achievements... next up nightmare mode At least it's Star Wars, right?

Today's achievement that is meaningless I'm sure to most of you:

 

Operations are the 8 man version of that, kind of, they're a fair bit harder in general. There's 16 man operations too but that's a little bit crazy to organise and there is a lot of suffering... a lot of muting people in discord so I don't go to the dark side when 16 people are talking over each other because they know "best" That achievement is from a particularly gruelling operation we are slowly progressing through as a team... 3 bosses cleared, 2 much, much worse ones to go

 

In simple (and more interesting) terms it's about coordination, just having to work together in a team to take down a series of bosses... some of the most challenging ones are a lot of fun because when you're in sync it's almost easy, but one step wrong and everyone dies. I don't like playing against other people because it can get nasty, so teamwork and coordination is more my style.

And, you know, if you get bored of that you can just dress your character up in fun clothing and play space barbie

 

Well, except that I'm usually playing on the Empire side... with my Imperial Agent... But yes, I have a fair few Jedi as well and Sith shhh

 

Would rather not talk about it honestly.
Just looking for distractions atm.

For me, I see myself as a Guardian. I love the military and if it wasn't for a prior surgery I would have gone in but the military considered me a liability so I wasn't able to join. The Airforce in particular. So for me I would look to become a Jedi Starfighter AKA Jedi Aces. Eventually getting to move up in the ranks overtime of course!

 

No no everything is fine! I have screws in my hips that I can never get taken out. They hold my hip joints into place. I’m fine I can do everything and anything I want to do no limitations.

 

As long as I don’t get any parts of the Sith when I have to eventually get one of those replacements haha

 

The Tuskens.

overview.

The Tuskens or Tusken Raiders were a native species native to the desert planet of Tatooine. A long time ago (30,000 BBY) the sandy dunes of the dune sea were filled with water home to many aquatic creatures and forms of vegetation. The great seas dried up due to unknown reasons and turned the wet and watery planet into a harsh inhospitable desert wasteland. The Tuskens were a species who live on Tatooine before the oceans dried up and they were almost one with the planet. Some can say the George Lucas placed in these characters to represent the Wampanoag tribes and the settelers who landed on Tatooine are the pilgrims who sailed over from my hometown of Plymouth UK. The tuskens ,like every living thing, depended on water to survive so the first couple of years would have been hard for them as they were used to having an abundant source of water to little water. Possibly when excavating and digging for farming they discovered something that they could use as drink. Black melons. Black melons are small circular melons that grew on the jundland wastes. they contained a vile tasting milk which provided the Tuskens with enough nutrients to live and to grow.
The Tuskens have probably evolved quicker and have adapted to their surroundings better than humans.

Tribes

The tuskens were brought up in tribes of houses of 20-30 people. Tuskens rules within the tribe were very strict and if you break one of the rules you can either be expelled or even executed. If one were to show a little skin then you would be executed. The tuskens were extremely resourceful making tents and huts out of deceased banthas and using their meat as food. When tuskens raided villages and settlements they would often spare the children and they would take them in and adopt them as one of their own. A cool fact that I learnt is that when travelling they would always walk in a single-file line to hide their numbers.

Weapons and defence.

Most of the time the male Tuskens were warriors and gladiators and they carried 2 weapons around with them at all times.
The most iconic weapon that they wield is the 'gaffi stick' or the Gaderffii. There are some similarities between the Gaffi stick and the lightsaber and no two are the same. The sticks are crafted out of wood found of of a ceremonial tree in which a lizard guides them to. Each gaffi is hand carved and forged by the user. The top end of the gaderffii is a large disk that tapers down into a sharp point used to bludgeon and inflict bone breaking blows to the opponent. The base is made out of a forged steel which is gathered when they pilfer and when they raid places. the bottom tapers down into a sharp spear like point used to puncture the skin, some may add additional fins to the side of the base however I believe they offer no other use. Another weapon used by the tuskens is the Cycler rifle. A cylcler rifle is a slugthrower so it uses and fires projectiles rather than blaster bolts. this aides them when raiding or fighting as most armour disperses the heat energy of the blaster and the solid projectile can just punch holes through it causing the wearer of the armour to not feel to good.

Appearances (looks)

Tuskens were relatively camouflaged when it came to their clothing. They wore a variety of pale sand and light brown pieces of cloth wrapped around their body being careful not to show any skin as they will be punished severely for it. No one knows what tuskens look like under their masks however many people have drawn up some sketches. Tusken's heads were covered in dark brown strips of cloth and they had large metal tubes poking out to allow them to see. Their mouths were covered in a grill like triangle which allowed them to eat and drink whilst still keeping out bugs and the sand from the dune sea.

I know you told me to take my time on this task but since today was my off day from work and I had some time on my hands, I went ahead and did the task. For this task, I have chosen the Gungan Species.

Gungan

Overview:
In a city under the sea named Otoh Gunga, built in 3000 BBY, you would find there a species known as the Gungan’s. Gungan’s lived on the planet Naboo and were an amphibious species. They were rarely seen leaving the planet. They were able to live both on land and water. There were two races within the species, one of which was Otolla and the other called Ankura. Gungans had a lifespan of around 65 Galactic standard years. Gungans had their own langue knows a Gungan Basic (AKA Gunganese). Gungans were very smart creatures. Gungans were normally a very generous and peaceful race. They loved their neighbors and always welcomed visitors. However, the visitors had to earn their respect so they remailed suspicious until then. Gungans were known to be force sensitive which lead them to produce force sensitive children. According to George Lucas himself, He got the name Gungan from his son’s name for tractors and trucks.

Appearance:
Gungan’s were a humanoid species that were flexible and had muscular tongues. They range in various colors (Brown, Pink, Green, White) and also various eye colors (Orange, Purple, Yellow). Their strong leg muscles helped them live in the waters. Gungans were born as tadpoles and within a few months were already starting to grow limbs. They could hold their breath for an extended amount of time due to their lungs. Their bodies produced a mucus like substance that had waterproof properties to it that helped them while moving through the waters and even aiding them in spitting water great distances. Their bodies were more of a cartilage material then bones which made them flexible. Gungans faces had also a flexible bill or beak which helped them burrow or find food underneath the surface. Gungans earlobes were called Haillu which also displayed their emotions.

Culture:
Gungans were a proud warrior species and had a large Arm called the Gungan Grand Army. The Grand Army stood as the only defense for the species. The Arm was made up of mostly male volunteers. The Gungans prefered technology that is harmonious with the ecology of their world. Their weaponry is no different. The Army used domesticated animals for transport. The Gungans had a High Council which was their governing body that was affiliated with the Galactic Republic. The primary membership of the High Council comprised Reps, who worked with the Boss to determine policies and maintain order. Gungans had very strict laws and would sometimes go to the extremes even if it was a minor crime. Getting casted out of the society was very difficult to be a loud back in. Even if they got lucky and was accepted back they faced a lot of discrimination.

Weapons:
The Atlatl was throwing stick that Gungans used to launch throwing balls of energy. Which mostly used as a throwing stick, it was also used as a club when in a desperate situation. Gungans also used a Cesta which is just a longer version of the Atlatl. Most of the Army used the Cesta. The booma ranged between 3 inches to 2 meters and consisted of blue plasma from the depths of Naboo's oceanic core, pressurized and forced into a shell that would burst if thrown hard enough. Very effective against droids and vehicles. The electropole was an electric melee weapon in which was either used for striking close distances or throwing. The Army also utilized a Personal Energy Shield which were shields featuring a screen of energy that could be turned on or off.
