What's The Story?
Well this is mostly a bonus entry today, I'll be posting another in a few hours (It's done, but I'm not posting it yet... Long story).

So Hyperspacers have that newish fancy "What's the story?" feature. I love it... But I'm not much of a world molder... I'm not great at building backstories. Not that I've tried much :p

Still, when I saw that little Ortolan... I couldn't resist throwing a rushed entry into the pool.

It was also an opprotunity to try to get some obscure Firefly references into the Star Wars Universe :D

The main problem with it was that it told the story of what was happening in that moment and the character's family more than the character and his history himself, I knew it had very little chance of making it in... Oh well, I'm still rather fond of an Otrolan uprising because they ran out of good food in a prison camp. (Max Rebo, the Otrolan in Return of the Jedi, signed an exclusive deal with Jabba the Hutt to play only for him all the time... In exchange for all the free food the band could eat. I figured the trait was common to most of the race):p

It ended up over the 2000 character limit when I finished writing it... So any odd wording is probably due to me having deleted words and such to get it under the 2000 character limit for "What's the Story?"

So there's my first little attempt at writing official Star Wars material, provided I don't get scathing reviews down below in the comments field and rotten fruit tossed at me... I suspect it won't be the last. Look for more failed submissions in the coming months :D

"Their personal food supplies ran out and the CIS refused to provide the camp with anything but basic rations, not appeasing to the refined Otrolan palette, tension gradually built"

Well at least I thought it was funny. :p
