It is the age of the Sith-Republic Cold War.

over to the forces of the Sith Empire. The Republic is still reeling as it rebuilds.

But the Sith have not been idle instead re-building,
perpairing again to invade and crush the last defenders of
liberity. It would seem that the Cold War is about to again turn Hot!!!

On Coruscant, the heroes have been gathered by
the Republic's Survey Guild to aid them in preventing a
massacer on the Outer Rim world of Dathomir. The local Czerka
Corporation has been hiring mercs to kill off the native Kwi whom they
considered savage animals but the Survey Guild has deteremined are sentent.

The heroes rush there to negotate with the local
corporate officals to prevent this massacer. Little do
they know that this small out of way world holds a dark sercret
that the Sith Empire has recently discovered and seeks. This secret might
well spell the doom for not only the Republic but life itself within the Universe... ​

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.
