The Cast of Characters & Catacrom 4 introduction

Here’s the list of main characters & other notable characters. Afterwards, they will be a brief introduction on Catacrom 4, the planet they start their adventure. Catacrom 4 is just a planet I just created, not from any of planets in the Star Wars Universe. On a side note: I stole some names from other sources coz I was just too damn tired to think of a name…

The Cast of Characters
Players

Nini
Character Name: Sash Coth
Female Zabrak Explorer
(Zabrak is humanoid, distinguished by patterns of vestigial horns atop their heads. Think of Darth Maul, but as a girl)


A very confident young Zabrak girl, who believes that there is nothing she can’t accomplish, who becomes an adventurer of sorts exploring lost civilizations in the Outer Rim. She is strangely obsessed in being the first to explore new lands or finding new species or lost civilization. She found herself stuck at Catacrom 4 after she mistakenly took the wrong space shuttle.

Arman
Character Name: Wry El-Fort
Male Human Padawan
A young human Padawan of the Jedi Order recently accepted as an apprentice to a Jedi Knight, Jane Delacroid. An arrogant (as most Padawans are) young boy who was assigned to the ExplorCorp in search of the rumored Jedi Holocron in Catacrom 4 while his master, Jane had to go on a dangerous assignment. Being brash and overly confident, young Wry thinks it’s just a wild Bantha chase to keep him busy from following, or in his case “helping” his master on her dangerous assignments.

Aizu
Character Name: Solus Tal Ijaa
Male Taung Warrior
(A cross-breed between a Predator in the Predator movies and Protoss in Starcraft)
A Taung warrior from one of the last remaining clans of the original Mandalorian species sent to Catacrom 4 by his clan leader. Some clans believed that the Mandalorian Wars was not the “Last Great Battle” that was prophesied. Solus’s clan is one of them. Solus being the most skilled fighter in the clan, he was chosen by the clan leader in search about the truth of the prophesied “Last Great Battle” for the Mandalorian Crusaders. His knowledge for the truth brought him to Catacrom 4 as he heard rumours of an ancient civilization that looked similar to Mandalorian’s culture.

Other Notable Characters (controlled by the GM)

Jane Delacroid
Human Jedi Knight
Jane was one of the few Jedi Knights who joined Revan’s Jedi Crusade to help the Republic in the Mandalorian Wars when the Jedi Council refused the Republic's desperate pleas for aid. After the war, she was also one of the few who came back to the Jedi Order on Coruscant to face judgement. Before the Council, she was charged with following Revan to war in an act of rebellion and the Masters informed her that she should be exiled from the Order. But due to her previous heroic deeds in the past, she was to be reinstated from being a Jedi Knight to something lesser... so that she could prove her worth in becoming a Jedi Knight again. She volunteers to join the Jedi Exploration Corp (ExplorCorp). There she met Wry and took him as her apprentice.

Tren
Green-skinned Male Duros Trader
(Duros are hairless, with large eyes and wide, lipless mouths. Skin color ranges from blue-gray to deep azure. Think of Neimoidians in Star Wars Episode 1, only greener and bigger round heads)
Once a pilot of a repair ship for the Republic Navy in the Mandalorian Wars, he was shortly reprimanded after authorities found out that not only was he smuggling military supplies to the enemy, he was also repairing Mandalorian warships! Tren pleaded innocent, because what the authorities didn’t realize was that the Duros had to repair the enemy ships or else the Mandalorians will kill his kids. Which the authorities later found out that Tren had never been married before nor that did he ever had any luck with the ladies of any species for that matter. Let alone have any kids… The Republic Navy left him at Catacrom 4 in hopes that he would not cause any more trouble for the greater good of the Republic. Tren decided to repent his scoundrel ways and decided to become an honest trader...

Carrick Cho
Human Male Republic Soldier
A newly recruited Republic soldier who was stationed at Catacrom 4 to ensure peace between the natives of Catacrom 4 and the newly founded Republic settlement “New Prospect”. He was on patrol with his squad when he and his entire squad went missing when they were patrolling the northeast of “New Prospect”.

Lieutenant Zayne Vyn
Human Male Republic Officer
A veteran commander who has a great amount of respect of how the Jedi Knight Revan lead the Republic to victory in the Mandalorian Wars through unorthodox strategies. After the war, Lieutenant Zayne was to be left in charge of command for the lunar base on Catacrom 4’s moon.

Catacrom 4
Catacrom 4 is the fourth planet and the only habitable planet out of the other five uninhabitable planets in the Catacrom system, which is located very near the Qiilura system. It’s a lush green planet covered with thick forest of trees.

The planet was recently discovered during the end of Mandalorian Wars and the Republic made contact with the natives of the planet. When the Republic arrived, they found out that the natives are primitive in terms of technology and are lizard-like folks with tough colored scales ranging from pale grey to dark green scales as skin. Humanoid size but taller and bigger on their upper body compare to humans, a hunched back with strong arms with four retractable claws as fingers, yellow slit eyes, a forked tongue protected by a strong angular jaw with sharp teeth. Later, it discovered that the natives were divided by two factions by distinguishing the colors of their skin; the Toks for the grey skinned and Woks for the green skinned lizards. There are the same species but divided into two factions because of different opinion on how things should be done. The Republic ambassadors offered culture and technology to the natives and they quickly embrace them especially weapon technology at an alarming speed. The “Catacromians” as they would like to be called now, was then recognized by the Senate as intelligent species and was given a place in the halls of the Galactic Senate.

In order to cement the relationship further, a settlement was built on Catacrom 4 as a sign of peace and willingness to assimilate the planet as on of planets of the Republic. The Republic hired explorers to charter the planet for mineral deposits as well as cataloging the Catacromians culture by locating and visiting their ancient ruins and finding artifacts to learn more about their culture and history. This is where strain of the relationship is at its maximum. The Woks do not agree to allow foreigners to trespass into their lands and pillaging artefacts to be “catalogued” as the Republic says.

Most artifacts will be sent to the lunar base to be further studied and promised the Catacromians to return it once they have completed their studies on the artifacts. The Woks believes that the Republic will never return their artifacts. Why they distrust the Republic was not given to the public’s knowledge.

Right! Let’s begin! It’s best if you play the Star Wars Theme song in the next post. You know, to get the feeling … Oooh! Oooh! Why don’t you scroll down slowly in the next post while you’re at it! LOL
