Relus PohWe've been waiting weeks! And those things are still swarming our property while you sorry excuses for defenders of the Republic sun yourself on the base.SakalThis is a military operation, sir. This planet hasn't been cleared for civilian occupancy.Jaymizu PohMy brother didn't mean to be insulting. But for three centuries, our family has dreamt of reclaiming our place on Taris. And now to be stopped by those things....Hero of TythonI couldn't help overhearing....SakalTheir old estate's off base, so we got no way to secure it.Relus PohTaris is our home. We're not going to wait until the army takes its pick of the planet and then throws us the scraps!SakalI got orders I got to follow. No civilian claims 'til the place is secure.MeteorTaris is a dangerous place. What are you doing here?Jaymizu PohOur ancestors escaped Taris before the bombardment. They kept everything - deeds, papers, we've even got holo-images of the estate. They always intended us to return.SakalWe can't go chasing civilian claims, justified or not. We've barely got the men to hold the base.Jaymizu PohThe Republic validated our records. But some outlaws set up a camp there - they've got security droids all around the perimeter.VoidhoundThis is an argument about three-hundred-year-old real estate?Relus PohNo. This is about a Republic citizen, whose home has been invaded by someone with an army of sec-droids, being ignored by the soldiers who should protect him! We almost got killed entering our own property!SakalThe Republic will respond to all such claims of hostile non-indigenous life-forms based on strategic value.VoidhoundAfter three hundred years, you can't blame someone for thinking it was up for grabs.Relus PohEach generation has passed down these deeds. We always knew we would return to Taris, that we were merely exiles.Jaymizu PohIf the Republic won't help us claim it, we're going to have to go back to Alderaan.Barsen'thorIt is wrong to risk lives for mere property.Jaymizu PohJedi, I know that you are just kids when you leave to train, but isn't there anywhere that you miss? A place, that you will always feel in your heart, is home?VoidhoundWhere does their property stand in the expansion plans?SakalPersonal land, sir. It'll be explored once all the public space is secured.Jaymizu PohThat's what they keep saying. That we can only claim it if we fight those awful droids ourselves. But how? Unless... could you help us?Hero of TythonYour claim seems just.SakalGreat. They're all yours, then. You find anything important, you can fill out a form at HQ.Relus PohAll we need is to get those blasted droids cleared out and find out who's controlling them. I can handle the rest.Jaymizu PohOur family was fortunate to escape the bombardment with their fortune intact. Help us reclaim what's ours, and you'll be well rewarded.Relus PohOf course we'll pay. But no droids. No... whatever's living there. Clear them out, I don't care how. |

AchitanHold. We have no more with which to defend ourselves. You have left us helpless before the rakghouls and everything that haunts this planet. My people are refugees, survivors of the battle on Coruscant. Would you turn us out of yet another home?VoidhoundWho are you?AchitanMy name is Achitan, and you might call me the leader of this colony. We fled here after the war. The lower levels were in shambles, thousands of people from thousands of species homeless and hurt. The humans in the Galactic Senate barely slapped on a new coat of paint. We came here to start a new life.Hero of TythonA horrific story.AchitanSo many men are here to reclaim this planet who know nothing of its past. Ancient Taris was a blight on the Republic, the black mark on its reputation for freedom. Humans on Taris did as they do on all planets. They seized the surface, claimed Taris's wealth and forced every other species underground. Every meter of land owned by a human was probably seized from another species, just as this was seized from my ancestors.Barsen'thorYou need somewhere to settle, I'm sure there's unclaimed land.AchitanThis is my land. My ancestors owned it for generations before the humans on Taris exiled them and all other species belowground. I have their documents, so old they were kept in printed form. Read them yourself if you doubt me.Barsen'thorEvery person should be judged on their own merit.AchitanThe Jedi Order has always understood that.Hero of TythonYour kind has contributed many Masters who are strong in the Force.AchitanWe connect to the Force through our ties to our homes.VoidhoundIf you have legal claim, why not bring it to the Republic?AchitanThey prefer not to admit Taris's ugly history. Still, we came to start over. I had hoped the new Taris would not be so quickly tainted by the old.MeteorWhat happened? There must have been a reason.AchitanIt was about money, of course. A human governor cut taxes to favor his people, and when others rebelled, they were the ones punished. I think the claim was "aliens are dangerous to Tarisian trade." If you have any sympathy for our cause, perhaps there is something you can do? We are alone and at the Republic's mercy.Hero of TythonWe would not wish to see you turned away from your home.AchitanI thank you for softening your heart to my story. I will tell my people to begin repairs on our droids. |

Relus PohExcellent job! We could smell the smoking metal corpses from here-Jaymizu PohI told him that's not really possible-Relus PohSo, who are the crooks who set themselves up on our property? Did you drive them off?MeteorWe took out the droids, but it won't be safe to live there.Relus PohWhat are you talking about?Jaymizu PohIs it the rakghouls, monsters...? I told you we should have waited until the planet was opened to settlers.Hero of TythonThe land is held by the alien who owns this deed. Her claim is better than yours.Relus PohNo! I am not just going to give up like this!Jaymizu PohWe've got no choice, Relus. We can't do this on our own. There are alien survivors who kept their claim? I'd have thought they would never want to come back here. I- I studied the history. It wasn't right.Relus PohIt was justified! You can't make us leave because of that.MeteorAfraid I can.Relus PohYou can't do this to us! Our family governed this planet. We owned it!Jaymizu PohIt's been a long time since that mattered, Relus.Barsen'thorYou should work together. It'll take more than two people to turn this place civilized.Jaymizu PohI agree, Relus. This isn't our ancestors' estate. This is a frontier. We'll need to grow food, sew clothes, defend ourselves. Wouldn't it be better to ally with these aliens?Relus PohSew clothes? Hmm... maybe we should just hear them out, see what they're looking for.Jaymizu PohWe won't turn them away. I know what it's like to want a home. |

SakalHey, good job. Both on the droids and getting to the bottom of that mess. Taris politics, huh, who cares about this dump anyway? Brass called me when you left. Wanted to see if your work's as good as your rep.MeteorIs there something else you want me to do?SakalWell, I doubt he's asking you over for a cup of mudleaf tea. Captain Childress calls, it usually means something needs fixing. He's got something for you to do, and he said to pass the word. If you're interested, go look him up. His office is at HQ, other side of the base. Tell them you're the one who ran off the brat brigade. |
