Hello, and welcome to Ultimate Dream Builds!
This is a contest where the sky is the limit on what you think you can create. Let your dreams about how it would be like in the Star Wars Universe guide you as you create unique and amazing character builds. Now to the rules:

1) House rules can only be used if you carefully explain your rules as part of your build.
2) Builds are limited to a max of Heroic Level 20. For Classes, Feats, Powers, and Talents, please use official Saga Edition sourcebooks as much as you can. If you have a house rule, you have to explain it in detail so we can understand the mechanics of it.
3) Unlimited Point Buy is allowed.
4) You are limited to 3 builds per contest. This keeps it a fair game.
5) Please stay on topic of the thread. If something needs to be discussed more in detail, please start another thread and move your thoughts there. This keeps the contest thread clean and simple.
6) You will have 30 days starting from the 1st posting of the current contest. After the 30 days, 14 more days for voting will be available. Winners will be decided by a simple majority of the cast votes. Only one vote per member is allowed You may not vote for yourself and no redos. All VOTES ARE FINAL!
7) The most important rule: HAVE FUN!!! Think outside of the box, and let those awesome dreams we all have take shape!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Month's contest is all about the men and women to make galactic conquest  possible and protect the many system from harm: Soldiers.

You assignment is simple: Build any type of soldier build you would like, from whatever official faction you would like (Republic, Imperial, Rebel, Galactic Alliance/New Republic, Separatists, etc)

The Extra Rules: No Mandalorians and no Force Users of any kind.
Official Note: I have lowered the amount of submissions from 5 to 3 for the foreseeable future. Most only submit one build, so this will not affect most contestants.

Contest is now closed. Congrats to xargot on his win!

Cereans are typically pacifists and not inclined to the life of warfare.  Some, however, do choose to serve as keepers of the peace, or soldiers, for the galactic good.  These are almost invariably female, due to the lower birth rate and shorter lifespan of the males, making them too invaluable to risk in warfare.  The Cereans who do engage in combat are very dangerous, as their ability to think of two things at once allows them to both devote their full attention to their current opponent and to strategize future actions simultaneously.

C.K. will begin combat by choosing the most valuable target to take down first.  She will use her twin DeathHammer pistols (+15/4d8+10 & +13/4d8+15) if she doesn't have the ability to close with the target.  Given the opportunity to close, she will Keep Them Reeling, making them flat-footed on an Initiative duel (which she can reroll and take the better).  She will then use her pike in conjunction with her DeathHammer, attacking at +16 for 3d8+8 on the pike (which can hit for regular, ion, or stun damage, and can crit on a 19 once per encounter).  If she hits, she triggers Dastardly Strike and a free attack with the DeathHammer at +16 for 5d8+16 fire damage.  Once that opponent goes down, which they will when she's hitting for an average 56 per turn, she then turns her attention to the next target she selected while dealing with the first.

She also makes a decent pilot and can understand droids due to her "binary" mind .

I'm sneaky that way.

Cool build, I fixed a couple coding errors that showed up, but you forgot you pic, so I'll let you fix that

"The ultimate non-Force sensitive fighters in the Empire serve the Emperor and the Emperor alone. Only Humans and Sith were allowed to be members of the imperial guard as the Emperor thought that they were the Strongest. Most citizens know them as protectors of the Sith Academy on Korriban and the sanctum of the Citadel on Dromund Kaas, the guardsmen’s mandate takes them wherever the Emperor requires. Even the Dark Council has neither control nor oversight of the guard’s activities. Clad in blood-red robes and armor, Imperial Guardsmen serve for life. Chosen for duty and initiated through deadly tests and traditions, those too old for active duty become instructors for the next generation until their skills deteriorate to the point where they are inevitably slain by a new recruit during training. Fanatic in loyalty and unmatched in martial skill, even a lone Imperial Guard is a formidable opponent capable of standing toe-to-toe with a Jedi… or a Sith, should the occasion arise."

My Imperial Guard is extremely dedicated, as several talents center around protecting adjacent allies.
Through rigid, deadly training, the Imperial Guard has improvements to ranged, melee, and unarmed combat.

Wow completely spaced that submission should had been closed on the 19th. Any build submitted after the 19th is okay though.

Submission are now closed. You have until October 7th at 11:59pm PDT to vote for favorite out of the following:

xargot's Cerean Killer or Venin, the Beastmaster
target-maxfirepower's Imperial Guard

Also, I need contest topic ideas badly. Do not ignore this when you vote. Any and all ideas submit them with your vote. Thank you.

Good luck

Ranged heavy repeating blaster +17 (3d10+9) with autofire and Personalized Modifications or
Ranged heavy repeating blaster +20 (3d10+9) when braced or
Ranged heavy repeating blaster +17 (5d10+9) with Burst Fire or
Ranged heavy repeating blaster +16 (5d10+9) with Double Attack and autofire or
Ranged heavy repeating blaster +16 (5d10+9) with Double Attack and Burst Fire or
Ranged heavy repeating blaster +11 (5d10+9) with Triple Attack and autofire or
Ranged heavy repeating blaster +11 (5d10+9) with Triple Attack and Burst Fire

I think that you have too many damage dice on some autofire options. I bolded the parts that should have 3d10...

It does yes, and I'll correct them myself quickly

Actually, electrograpple is just a special handle that can be pulled to an electromagnet,  which is in his gauntlet.  It simply allows him to retrieve the spears from up to 6 squares away as a move.

However, a booby-trapped thrown weapon does sound fun...

I vote for target-maxfirepower's imperial guard, though props to xargot as well, not only for solud builds, but for the John Carter-esque artwork for the CK.
