Phoneplayer

"*But being eaten in the arena is not much of a gift!*"
―Rel'Axon

**Phoneplayer** was a band consisting of eight members, created by F'igrin D2 officially 33 ABY. It was often present in bars, clubs, restaurants and cantinas, playing a wide range of songs, most of which belong to the musical genre Jizz. Phoneplayer also released several songs, which were as popular as they were hated by many. The mercenary group also signed a contract with the music station NarostFM.

## Career

### Early days

F'igrin D2 discovered his passion for music in his youth because he had mistakenly bought a fanfar at a market. Out of curiosity to do something with the instrument, he attended a music school. After that he became friends with [Rel'Axon] and [Magun Heel]. Because of an incident he dropped out of school and had a dream to play in a band. He tried to convince his two friends to earn money independently by playing music. When they agreed after long consideration, they rehearsed in F'igrin's garage once a week with a few instruments to compose their own song. They realized that it was not easy with three people, so F'igrin persuaded his neighbor [Random Phil], who was an artist, to join the band. Together they played a few songs every day and even gave performances over the phone. Since they still lacked a name for their band, they finally agreed quickly on "Phoneplayer". However, the four Bith didn't achieve any success and therefore moved from their home planet Bith to Cantonica to become famous there, which didn't really work out either. They finally split up and started playing games of chance.

### First success

[33 ABY] a music contest was held on [Narosti], to which the scattered Bith traveled separately from each other. Once there, they met again by chance and decided to work together again as a band and participate in the competition. The standard songs they played were enough for their victory. With the prize money they won, the first thing they did was to buy new instruments and a recording studio, in which Phoneplayer experimented at first.

### First Tracks

Some time ago, Lenn, the leader of the Narosti Republic, created a playlist of the best jizz songs in the galaxy. Random Phil wanted to send Lenn a few songs as a joke, but he mixed up the song selection and sent him their three worst songs yet. Lenn thought they were bad, but included them in his playlist anyway and created an album with the other music. Since the album was successful on the market anyway, they got a small commission.

### First performances

 Phoneplayer felt [34 ABY] ready to also deliver more shows and so they also toured other planets, like Laties, Tatooine and Yallus Prime, to prove their skills there. They also gave a concert on Narostu, where they got to know the newly founded band Ill-tempured Tunes for the first time, which is more successful than Phoneplayer and therefore they considered Ill-tempured Tunes as their role model. They had even planned to play a song together, which didn't work out due to time constraints.

In the meantime, Random Phil was the leader of Narosti for a short time when Lenn was on a trip.

### Era at the time of the Discourage Empire

During the conquest of Narosti by the Discourage Empire, the group fled to a hideout with some other refugees. There they met the newly formed resistance group Lebellion and allied with them. Together they flew unnoticed to their new base on Besberra.

/////Dort lief es nicht gut für sie und wollen alle außer Random Phil unabhängig in der Galaxis ein neues Leben aufbauen. In Wirklichkeit kehrten die drei Bith zurück nach Narosti und schlossen sich dem DI an, in der Hoffnung gut bezahlt zu werden. Random Phil konnte so nicht weiter machen und machte sich auf den Weg die anderen zurück zu holen. Auf Narosti angekommen, wurde eine Ausgangsbeschränkung vom derzeitigen Herrscher Franklin Moro angeordnet. Sie wurden gezwungen zusammen für das DI fortan zu spielen und hatten einen schlechten Verdienst. Sie wurden von den Rebellen als Verräter angesehen und dachten, dass sie sich freiwillig mit dem DI verbündet hätten, um Informationen der Lebellion preis zugeben, da ihnen nur Credits wichtig wären.

Als bei einem Angriff der Lebellion auf Narosti der Schutzschildgenerator zerstört wurde, flohen die Musiker nach Besberra zurück. Sie waren dort nicht mehr Willkommen und wurden verachtet. Sie versuchten sich zu retten, indem sie Informationen über das DI preisgaben. Fast keiner glaubte ihnen und hielten es für einen Trick. Kanjo Bazooie, ein hochrangiges Mitglied und ein auch begabter Musiker gefiel das vorurteilige Verhalten der Lebellen nicht und desertierte, um sich der Band, die er als Vorbild sah anzuschließen. Er zählt für sie als Manager und sie produzieren zusammen 38 NSY neue Tracks für ihr erstes Album. Seit dem Jahr werden ihre Lieder im Radiosender NarostFM ausgestrahlt.
39 NSY versuchen die Phoneplayer weniger, aber dafür qualitativere Lieder zu machen. Nachdem sie das Lied "Phlues" veröffentlicht haben wurden sie von Mr. HT and the Ill-tempered Tunes angeklagt, da das Lied sehr große Ähnlichkeiten zu ihrem Erfolgshit "The Harp and the Brass" hat. Die Phoneplayer widersprachen der Anklage, jedoch stellte sich heraus, dass sie versucht haben, den Hit der Ill-tempered Tunes zu kopieren um an Erfolg zu gewinnen. "Phlues" darf weiterhin ausgestrahlt werden, allerdings verlangten die Ill-tempered Tunes alle Einnahmen, die mit diesem Lied entstanden sind und entstehen werden. Die Phoneplayer stimmten der Forderung zu./////
