How to Make a Star Wars Jungle Attack Diorama

This week, I built a 1:12 scale diorama depicting the final showdown between an imperial Stormtrooper and a Nexu. The Nexu is the cat-like monster seen in Attack of the Clones during the arena fight on Geonosis. Leave a comment below telling me what you think the backstory of this diorama should be. I will pin my favorite answer and make it the official backstory!
I built the 3D model of the Nexu in Forger for the iPad.

I think this Stormtrooper's platoon was probably chasing down a smuggler who was bringing exotic animals to crime lords when the smuggler released the animals and they stampeded through his platoon, leaving just him to be hunted by the Nexu.

The trooper was cut of from rest of his platoon after an ambush while out on a patrol looking for a rebel leader. When their transport was attack he was thrown of down a smaller ravine and blacked out, he was awaken from a smaller creature fleeing from something in the woods. Hearing russling ge pulled out the blasters to be prepared for what he first tought was more rebels there to finish the job but then the Nexu attacked. Hurting the shoulder of the trooper but ge managed to get in a fatal shot after the Nexu Landed and was turning around. With the Nexu dead but he himself bleading he started to try to find his way out, but the bloodloss was getting greater and greater and his vision was blurring he could the remains of what was once his platoon in the distance. Finaly, he would be saved.

I think the best backstory for this would be the Stormtrooper is stationed on Saleucami (an outer rim planet where Nexus have been seen and there's a known imperial base) and got split from their platoon chasing down a small squad of rebels who ran into the jungle for cover, and the trooper ends up hearing something in the undergrowth, thinking it's a rebel or another member of their platoon they investigate only to be ambushed by the Nexu, the trooper manages to get in a fatal shot before the Nexu can do any serious damage and is saved by their platoon who heard the blaster fire.

TK-2501 depicted here in this diorama was stationed on Morak, a jungle planet. He was tasked with guarding refinery docking bay 32. When the refinery was attacked and destroyed by the Rebels, TK-2501 was one of the few survivors. With no way to contact Imperial headquarters, he began walking Southwest In the direction of the nearest Imperial outpost. Unfortunately for TK-2501 he stumbled upon a nest of Nexu. As the mother Nexu lunged at TK-2501 he stumbled backwards firing off one blaster bolt. The bolt struck one of the mother Nexu's many teeth, chipping it and deflecting off. TK-2501 is currently listed as MIA in the Imperial database.

While hunting down the rebels, one garrison of TK’s were dispatched to the remote jungle planet, Yavin 4. While on patrol, TK122 was near the rebel base when he heard something moving in the brush ahead of him. As he investigated, he was viciously attacked by a Nexu, mauling him to death and keeping the rebel base hidden until they launched their attack on the Death Star a few days later.

Fantastic!!! You used my ferns!!! Seriously, thanks for the shout out Caleb! This came out so good. It was awesome watching you do the 1/12 scale foliage. It's honestly my favorite part of a build (when the build has foliage in it). I have that same bag, the Moss Collection, and it comes with such a great variety of stuff in it. I have NOT tried the moss mat yet though, but I think that's going to be my new forrest floor method instead of sprinkling tea leaves and oregano over mod podge lol. The hunt for things to use for 1/12 scale foliage is also part of the fun I feel. Your 3d printer has really upped your game and allowed you to tackle some really cool projects. This was a super creative build and you put out a great video as usual!

A MICE trooper is inspecting an abandoned installation on the forest world of Cholganna as part of a larger sweep to eliminate smuggling cells in the Outer Rim. While trying to find an entry point to the facility, he is suddenly attacked by a Nexu that use the interior to shelter her brood. The Imperial Material Inspection and Contagion Elimination (MICE) unit is tasked with structural assessment and pest control of newly aquired Imperial assets on occupied worlds. Applicants to the Imperial corps that fall short of the height requirement, but otherwise show heightened physical capabilities, are usually assigned to this troop. Their low stature combined with physical prowess make them excellent infiltrators. They can more easily crawl into cracks and crevices as well as hide more efficiently to avoid detection from both hostiles and wildlife. In this instance the troopers abilities seem to have come up a bit short of the task.

This Nexu is one of the offspring of the Nexu that were used in the arena's on Geonosian. When the Nexu that attacked Senator Amidala was killed, several others escaped as well. This was kept silent so that fear would not spread across the population. When after the Clone Wars the planet was under the Empire rule again a small platoon of Stormtroopers was stationed there. Nexu sometimes wander out of the forest into the city parks looking for food. This unfortunate Stormtrooper was just on this Sunday morning stroll through the park when he was attacked by this Nexu. He was very lucky that his quick reflexes saved him. He shot the Nexu through the head and it was killed instantly. He of course filed a complaint with the park officials and got a nice settlement so in the end it turned out to be his lucky day.
