== STAR WARS -- KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC ==
<font size=3><center>'''Episode I''' 

'''The Dathomir Darkness'''</font size>

It is an age of fragile peace. </br>
Though the Treaty of Coruscant ended </br>
the Great Galactic War it gave almost half </br>
of the Galaxy to the dark forces of the Sith Empire. </br>

As a wounded Republic struggles </br>
to rebuild, the Sith prepare in secret </br>
to invade and crush the last defenders of </br>
liberty. Again the spectre of war stalks the galaxy!</br>

Heroes gathered by the Survey Guild of </br>
the Republicare urgently  dispatched from </br>
Coruscant to the  Outer Rim world of Dathomir </br>
to negotiate with the local Czerka Corporation and </br>
prevent a massacre. Mercenaries hired by the corporation </br>
are eradicating the Kwi natives  of Dathomir  as mere savage </br>
animals even though the Survey Guild has declared  them sentient.</br>

Little do they know that the Sith </br>
Empire is searching for a dark secret on this </br>
half-forgotten world, a secret that might spell doom </br>
for not only the Republic but life itself within the Universe...</br></center>

== BASIC SET UP ==
The game is set around 8 years into the '''Cold War''' period after the '''Sacking of Coruscant'''. The heroes had been summoned to the '''''Republic Survey Guild''''' on '''Coruscant'''. They are being assisted/hired to go to help negotate a peace between '''''Czerka Mining and Industrial'''''[https://www.deviantart.com/hazelbloons/art/Czerka-Logo-867831722] and the native '''Kwi'''[https://www.starwars-universe.com/images/encyclopedie/especes/images_v6/kwi_image.jpg] on the Outer Rim world of '''Dathomir'''.

Up until recently Czerka Corp had been using the native Kwi as simple animal beasts of burden as they were believed to be non-sentient but a recent Republic Survey Team discovered that their are indeed sentient. But as the Kwi languages is near untranslateable the corporation still does not believe them. Troubles started when the Kwi began attacking corporate officals and miners, killing serval. This has resulted in the corporation hiring a number of mercenaries to wipe them out in the area. The Survey group wants the heroes to prevent this.

Dathomir is a lush jungle world also full of a number of fresh water lakes, mountains and shallow seas. The weather is generally pleasent although large storms can hit various parts of the planet during different seasons. Czerka Corp has one Space Port on the planet called '''''Footfall''''' which is also the name of the planets only settlement in the northern hemisphere where their main corporate headquarters is located and most of the miners are based. 

There are few shattered Human primitive cultures in the southern hemisphere who are believed to originated from an ancient colony that fell to barbarians in ages past. Czerka has little to no contact with them as they do not mine in that area.

The Republic Survey Guild team is made up of four members and a translator droid able to communicate with the Kwi. The heroes are to make contact with them and Czerka corp to try and resolove the situation before the natives are massacured by the mercs.

The Survey Guild members are Melontor Gelakirm (an Aqualish male[https://www.pinterest.com/pin/4362930872774355/]; the Survey team leader), Crad'wovaz (a Twi'lek male[https://www.pinterest.com/pin/16818198598034094/]; the teams geologist), Stosrai (a Zabrak female[https://www.pinterest.com/pin/31525266130514149/]; the teams droid and computer specialist) and Prote Riem (an Ardennians female[https://www.pinterest.com/pin/3729612193572708/]; teams mechanic and survey pilot/mapper). Also includes "Aido 3" (a AX-IDO translator droid[https://www.pinterest.com/pin/28006828922315035/])

'''Gravity''': Slightly below Standard</br>
'''Primary terrain''': Jungle, with many canyons and valleys, massive caves, cliffs, forests, hills, mountains, rivers, swamps, tar-pits, and a few ice caps.</br>
'''Points of interest''': Dreaming River (said to cause various halluinations from those that drink from it. The Czerka has banned anyone of their employees from during so but the effects seem fairly mild and non-addicitve), Grey Wound (a very large canyon that cuts through much of the southern hemesphere), Howling Mountain (where most of Czerka is conducting their mining operations at. Gets it name from the strange howling like sounds that echo through the mountains), Red Cliffs (south of the Howling Mountains and very distrintive colored rocks here that almost appear to be blood), the Swamplands (farther south of the Red Cliff, a very extensive and massive salt water swamp that extended to the sea serveral hundred miles southward).</br>
'''Unusal Features''': Much of the world's land masses and seas are covered by a thick reddist tinted mist perpetually, even during heavy storms. The coloration is caused by the Red Gaint Sun of the system. Most of the planet has not mapped or properly surveyed due to this phenomenon.</br>
'''Flora''' (known): Brula fruit, Bleeding Gut, Blue coral, Fire lichen, Grave Thorn, Hydraatis, Mushling, various unidentified fungus and mulusks.</br>
'''Fauna''' (known): Bane back spider (a fairly large spider like creature that can spray a deadly toxin as a defense against predators), Belonuk (a four legged saurian apex predator with very sharp teeth and claws, with a sharp boney head that it can ram prey with to stun or knock prone), Burra fish (edible amd tasty fresh water creature that can grow to be several meters in length), Nydak and Nydak Alphas (another species of semi-bipedal apex predators found mostly in the Red Hills region and Southern Singing Mountains. Their long fore-arms are heavily clawed and their brown hide is covered in sharp spikes. The alphas are even larger then the normal and weigh upwards of two tons), Regs (large lizard breats that walk on four legs. While they were tried to be used as beasts of burder by Czerka early on they proved to wild and stupid to functions as good ones. They can weigh serval tons), Veeka (red-plummed lizard-birds that are also edible but friendly and keep as pets by a few of the miners), and numberous unidentified snakes and lizards like creatures both large and small. </br>
'''Government''': Corporate or Tribal</br>

'''Major cities''': Footfall (only major city and location of space port)</br>
'''Major exports''': Ore</br>
'''Major Imports''': Food, machinary for mining, etc.</br>

Dathomir is a remote and obscure planet in the Quelli sector of the Outer Rim Territories. Czerka Mining and Industrial has a contract with the Republic to mine the planet for various rare and profitable ores found here. 

It is the home of the Kwi a cobalt blue saurian bipelled species. Due to their semi-upright movement patterns and near untranslatable speak patterns they had originally thought to be non-sentient but recently the Republic Survey Guild has translated their tongue and realized they are in fact sentient, just primitive.

There are two main land-masses surrounded by multiple small ones and multiple island chains within its shallow seas. The northern hemisphere holds one of the larger land-masses and is where Czerka has set up mining operations but only in one small area. Most of their mines are within 600 kilometers (400 miles) of Footfall, their space port and corporate headquarters. The northern land-mass has not been extensively explored past here and the lands of the southern hemisphere are even less well known. A few minor survey exploration did discover the Human tribes that live there on the largest of the southern land-masses. The group believes that these Humans might have belong to a long forgotten colony that was established here in a distant past but that they fell into barbarianism. There are no records of this colony in the Republic archies so it is only a idea of what might have happened.
 
With so little exploration or the planet most of it is a mystory along with most of the animal and plant life that might be found here.

=== Hyperspace Travel Notes for the Old Republic Era ===
During this time period of the Old Republic most hyperspace travel is conduced along trade routes that have numbers hyperspace bouys that help assist starship to travel through hypersoace. The more dangerous way is using advanced Navcomputers (for the time) to help establish routes. These routes don't last long as astrological bodies more and hyperspace anomalies form and fade. This is why the hyperspace bouys are so important and need constant upgrades for safe travel. 

Starfighters of this era do not posses hyperspace engines but still include a combat-mech droid to assist the pilot during combat, etc. Astromech droids of the time and advanced Navcomputers can hold one to two navigation plots for non-hyperspace point between two points along a nonbouy route but there is still a danger to travel on them. These system can also help plot normal routes via the bouy systems.
