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[1] and the native Kwi[2] 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 but as their languages is near untranslateable the corporation does not believe them. Troubles started when the Kwi started 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 season. 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.

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

The Republic Survey Guilde team is made up ofr 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.
