Meet the Star1337, a rogue hacker group intent on disrupting all law and order
in the universe, though they will sacrifice those principles in order to make a
few credits here or there.
Modularity is a key focus of their design ethic, with pilot/hacker-containing
“cells” which can then, in turn, be connected to the necessary module. These
pilots do have the ability to leave their cells and live a fairly normal life in
their off-hours, but once plugged in, very few do as they tend to integrate
their conciousnesses with the circuitry.
This particular module is designed to intercept, scramble, and otherwise
manipulate any sort of signal it may come across. It is not used for direct
contact with the enemy, as it has no onboard weaponry and meagre propulsion.
The Star1337, knowing the danger of insecure data transfer, have taken extra
precautions. Therefore, this (and other modules) plug first into a central hub
to dock (the antennae on the bottom), and then transfer all information through
the pins found in the front of the module.
The first of this to be built was basic front construct (dark blue curved slopes
and radar dish), and I’m quite surprised how the back half ended up. It’s a
little rawer than I’d originally indended, but it also has a good utilitarian,
Borg-like roughness due to the exposed studs and cables.
I’m not tremendously pleased with the side antennae, they had looked better in
earlier prototypes. It would probably help if their designs didn’t betray their
last-minute, completely uninspired creation. Same goes for the thrusters.
Leave any and all questions, comments, criticisms, and rants about the
destruction 1337-speak is wreaking on the English language.

| (...) ... (...) I like that antenna design, especially how you've used the pickaxes to complete the curve. Do you have any other modules built yet? I'm interested in how modular the design is. Cheers, (URL) Sci-Fi LEGO> (20 years ago, 10-Sep-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Having gotten to see this MOC in person this last week-end, I have to say that you .spacers better watch out! I smell a new faction forming! I was particularly impressed with the use of the Bionicle piece in the antenna design, which did not (...) (20 years ago, 14-Sep-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
