 GM’s Information Sheet II: Pamorjal
Type: Terrestrial
Climate: Swamp, Jungle
Length of Day: 26 standard hours
Length of Year: 330 standard days

Pamorjal is located in an Expansion Rim system of the same name. It is the fourth planetoid from the system’s
single star, Garbat. Eight other planetoids, all uninhabited, orbit Garbat. The system lies of any significant trade
routes. Until approximately twenty years ago, it had no significant contact with the galaxy. The only true city on the
planet is Beldon, which serves as capital and only starport. All business tradings between the natives and
outworlders is conducted in Beldon.
The population of Beldon officially numbers just over one-and-a-half million. Primarily human, many other
species also reside here. A large enclave of Ithorians also lives on the planet, forming it’s second largest group.
Pamorjal is covered by jungles. The temperature ranges from mildly discomfortable (warm and humid) to
exhausting (hot and humid). The hydrosphere consists of a number of lakes and swamps. Very little “open” water
can be found on the planet, however. The swamps are home to Pamorjal’s major export, the garna tree. A large
patch of dead land, known as the “badlands,” lies in Pamorjal’s southern hemisphere approximately four-hundred
kilometers to the southwest of Beldon. The origin of this area is unknown, but it is strong in the dark side of the
Force. Nothing living resides or gorws there. The Temples of Vormijj are 180 kilometers west of Beldon. Built
around twenty millenia ago, these temples serve today as a tourist attraction. They promote inner peace and are
visited by tens of thousands each year.
The garna tree is a dark hardwood that has begun gaining popularity in the Core Worlds. It is used in elegantly
carved, ornate furniture. The result is truly spectacular. Garna wood furniture was first introduced in the Taipani
Sector just over a dozen years ago. As it became more and more popular among the noble houses of that region, it
began to attract the attention of wealthy residents from the Core Worlds.
It has since become the leading export of the planet and the chief source of income.
However, the conservative government of Pamorjal only allows a certain amount og garna wood to be harvested
every year. Thus, demand heavily outweighs the supply. A number of megacorporations have opened offices on
Pamorjall over the past decade in an attempt to secure their own harvesting rights. This has so far met with failure.
They have been successful in “luring” several government officials to support their requests. While the anti-
megacorp Pamorjalan’s outnumber the pro-megacorp ones, the difference in number seems to decrease every year.
With the emminent threat of their beloved trees being ruthlessly and uncontrolably harvested, an underground
terrorist movement has appeared on Pamorjal, the Pamorjal Freeman’s League (or PFL). The goals of the PFL are to
destroy enough of the megacorps assets that they are forced to leave. Their attacks have been increasing
dramatically over the past couple years.
Officially, the planet of Pamorjal is ruled by an Imperial governor, Taj Vellion. He pretty much lets the
planetary ruling council run Pamorjal. Taj only gets involved in public affairs whenever Imperial interests are at
stake. The rest of the time, he and his forces remain on his private estate just outside of Beldon. Taj has come under
increasing pressure from the megcorps lately to take action against the PFL. He is reluctant to do so, but may be
forced to to appease to “loyal” Imperial corporations.

Special: Thaum is a “dark side character” and is subject to the bonuses and penalties described on page 159 of the
Star Wars Core Rulebook.

Weapons: Base Attack Bonus +8/+3

BlasTech DL-44 heavy blaster pistol: +10/+5 ranged attack, 3d8 damage

Equipment: Sith masking amulet (adds +10 Force bonus to Force Stealth check to mask wearer as not being Force
sensitive), dark green shipsuit, brown nerf-hide jacket, comlink, macrobinoculars, heavy blaster pistol, lightsaber, 2
thermal detonators.

Appearance: Thaum stands 1.7 meters and is approximately 68 kg. He has thick, wavy black hair and clear blue
eyes. Thaum rarely wears the traditional robes and lightsaber of a Jedi in order to better blend in with the galaxy’s
population. He can often be found in a dark green jumpsuit and brown nerf-hide jacket and boots. He wears his
trusty DL-44 heavy blaster in a low-slung holster on his right thigh.
When away from his master, Thaum almost always acts as a happy and cheerful person. He has a contagious
smile and his eyes sparkle with life.

Capsule: The story of Thaum Rystra is a tragic one. Born on Alderaan to a diplomat and his wife, Thaum had an
unusual childhood. His family moved from one diplomatic posting to another as his father was often reassigned to
better jobs. As an only child, Thaum was very close to his parents, especially his mother.
During a brief stay on Coruscant, his parents were approached by one of the Emperor’s advisors and told that
Thaum was to begin special training for gifted youngsters. Thaum’s parents broke into tears. They had heard rumors
of what these schools were and what they did. They begged for Thaum to not be taken, but the advisor ignored their

Soulsaber Page 17
pleas. Eight year-old Thaum left with the man and several stormtroopers that had been positioned out of his view.
His last sight of his parents was over his shoulder walking down the hallway, his mother buried in his father’s
shoulder, sobbing uncontrollably.
Traitors to the New Order were identified to the students. Their last “lesson” was to eliminate these enemies of
the galaxy. Beings opposed to peace. Late of night, Thaum walked into the domicile of two such traitors. He stood at
the foot of their bed, unlit lightsaber in his hands. A push with the Force switched the glowpanel on. Thaum wanted
these betrayers to see the face of justice as their sentence was pronounced. The look on his parents’ face as his
amethyst energy blade cut them down rocked him to his very core. Thaum realized what a monster he had become.
Thaum stole a ship and fled. Hoping to atone for his actions, he searched for someone who could connect him to
the Rebel Alliance. After months of searching, he finally met such a being. Vowing to fight the evil that was the
Empire, he joined the Alliance and was grouped with various other beings who held the same beliefs. One member
of his group was also Force-sensitive like himself. He was a Twi’lek who had escaped from slavers. As they traveled
together, Thaum grew more and more uneasy being around someone who had control over the Force.
Finally, Thaum could take it no more. He requested a transfer out of his unit and into the scouts. He felt the
need to be alone. His request granted, Thaum moved into his new occupation with excitement. He would be
providing valuable information for the Alliance, while not having to deal with reminders of his past on a daily basis.
On his third assignment, Thaum was charting an unpopulated system when a voice began to call to him. It was
feminine and very exotic. She was beckoning him to come to her and learn the true power of the Force. Something
stirred within Thaum and felt a hunger for the Force like he had never experienced before. He felt the path needed to
reach her.
Thaum guided his vessel along the path the voice gave him. A path to an orbiting asteroid that would not
otherwise have attracted his interest. In the center was an immense black edifice, a temple of obsidian stone. Thaum
felt the cold emanating from the building. He landed his ship in a large bay and followed the voice to a room deep
within the structure. Thaum was amazed at how dark and cool the place was, and the power radiating from it. The
Force was everywhere. Thaum did not have to attempt to feel it. But he also felt something else. The dark side.
Unable to turn back, Thaum continued.
Arriving at his destination, Thaum stood in the entryway of a room larger than any had seen before. Lying at its
center, on bier of dark stone, was a beautiful woman, vaguely human. The dark side radiated strongly from her. Her
voice spoke again in his mind. “I know what you desire, Thaum Rystra, and I can give it to you. Become my servant
and the power of the Force shall be yours.”
Thaum knew what was being offered. He reached out and embraced the dark side.
His first major goal was to secure a small human boy named Caeleb. This boy, referred to in a prophecy as the
“Child of Light,” possessed a remarkable link to the Force. While apparently unable to wield the Force himself,
Caeleb could provide others direct and unending access. At the bidding of his master, Thaum set out to retrieve the
child and return to her.
Thaum chose to allow his own apprentice, a Whippid bounty hunter named Tol Skaros, to actually capture the
boy. Caeleb’s parents were both trained somewhat in the use of the Force and Thaum believed it would be good for
Tol develop his ability to battle Force users.
However, Thaum unexpetantly encountered a group of Rebel heroes also searching for the Child of Light. He
stayed back and allowed events to unfold. What resulted was the death of his apprentice and Caeleb being taken
away by the Rebels.
Thaum followed the Rebels and bidded his time. When Caeleb was moved to a safeworld, Thaum snatched him
away and set out to continue his mission. He needed the boy to recover and ancient weapon of the dark side, the
Soulsaber.
That is where this adventure begins …

Soulsaber Page 18
 GM’s Information Sheet IV: The SOULSABER
HISTORY: The Soulsaber was created over ten millennia ago by a Dark Jedi bent on destroying the Jedi Knights.
Thousands of sentient beings died under this blade, as did scores of Jedi and a number of masters. Finally, the Dark
Jedi was cornered by two dozen Jedi Masters, on a remote and unpopulated world. The ensuing battle left half of the
Masters dead and the other half severely wounded. The Dark Jedi and his Soulsaber were beaten, though at a great
price. The surviving Jedi sent word to the Council on their victory and that they were going to take the Soulsaber
into the depths of space beyond the grasp of the dark side and its minions.

APPEARANCE: The hilt of the soulsaber is forty-five centimeters long and made of a bronze-like metal formed
into the shape of a dragon, wrapped around a rod of obsidian. When ignited, a one-and-a-half meter long energy
blade erupts from the open jaws of the dragon’s mouth. The blade is a deep violet, with blood-red flecks flashing up
and down its length. A core of obsidian “light” runs up the center of the blade.

NOTES: The Soulsaber is not a weapon of the dark side as much as it is a manifestation of the dark side. It is an
abomination to the light side and to all of life. The purpose of it is not only to destroy life, but also to subvert and
twist Force sensitives to the dark side. The ritual used to create the dark weapon is unknown and died with it’s
creator.
The Soulsaber’s presence can be felt by anyone standing within ten meters of it. Non-Force-sensitive beings
feel very uneasy. Beings who are Force-sensitive with no dark side Points know a major source of dark side energy
is nearby. They experience great discomfort (severe headache, nausea, etc.) and find it difficult to concentrate on
tasks while close to the Soulsaber (character suffers a –5 Force penalty to all skill rolls, attack rolls and saves). Force
sensitive beings with at least one dark side Point feel they are close to a nexus of dark side energy. This could very
well lead to infighting amongst a group of dark-siders as they strive to be the sole possessor of the Soulsaber.
If any being touches the Soulsaber without having at least one dark side point, they are hit with a backlash of
dark side energy (1d6 damage if non-Force sensitive, 2d6 damage if Force sensitive.). Beings with at least one dark
side point suffer no damage.
Igniting the weapon immediately gives the wielder a dark side Point. Potentially, just igniting the weapon is
enough to send the character to the dark side. Emotions associated with the dark side flood through the wielder
(anger, aggression, fear), and a dark whisper of great power fills their head.
The Soulsaber provides several benefits when used in combat. First, the wielder is granted the Force skill
battlemind and does not have to use his own vitality points to activate the skill. Second, the wielder is allowed to
make one extra attack each round. The character’s highest attack bonus is used, but all attacks are at –2. Third, the
wielder suffers no penalties when all vitality points are lost (ie, the character is not stunned) and only wound points
remain. Also, the wielder may fight until he reaches –10 wound points. When the character reaches –10 wound
points, he dies. Unfortunately for the wielder, the second benefit is also a curse: they never know how close to death
they are.
When the wielder strikes an opponent in combat, a dark side point is given to the wielder and the Soulsaber
immediately removes one Force point from the target and gives it to the wielder for immediate use (if not used, the
Force point disappears at the end of the round). If the target has no Force points, then one ability point at random is
taken away and a +2 Force bonus to attack rolls is bestowed for that round. This bonus lasts for only one round and
stacks with other Force attack modifiers (Battlemind, Enhance Ability). When struck by the Soulsaber, a being feels
a stab of unbelievable and agonizing cold. The Soulsaber will send a flood of emotions into the victim. If the victim
is Force sensitive, they must make a DC 15 Will save to resist gaining a dark side point (not giving into the
emotions). Non-Force-sensitives must make a DC 18 Will save. This is how the Soulsaber seeks to corrupt beings
and further the dark side.
The Soulsaber uses the exotic weapon proficiency: lightsaber feat and has a base damage of 2d8. This damage
increases for Jedi per the Lightsaber Damage column of the Jedi Consular and Jedi Guardian classes (Table 3-8 and
3-9, Star Wars Core Rulebook).

What Has Happened Before
This is for those players who have not played Child of Light. It relates the important details of that scenario.

In Child of Light, the Rebel heroes were assigned by Rebel Command to investigate the rumor of a child
who possessed an unusual ability with the Force. Traveling to the very remote world of Dalicron-4, the
characters landed outside of the planets only organized town. Their “spaceport” was nothing more than a
packed field, with three other ships already present when the characters arrived.
In town, the characters met a scout/fast courier named Thaum Rystra, and a-down-on-his-luck Squib
named Veeter. Thaum claimed to have been jumped by some pirates who thought he had a load of spice
aboard his ship. Dalicron-4 was the closest civilized world, so he landed here to repair his ship. Veeter, in
a bout of Squib deal-making, believed that he traded for his ship, a Sienar Fleet Systems Lone Scout. The
ship actually belonged to the Imperial scout corps. When he left the station in his ship, the Imperials shot
at and severely damaged his ship. Veeter punched some number into his nav computer and wound up on
Dalicron-4. With a ship that can’t fly anymore. They never saw anyone from the third ship, which, by all
visible inspection, was in working condition.
The characters then helped rescue the son of a local farmer who wandered out into a terrible storm,
looking to make sure his pet nerf calf. Finding the boy just before a couple of ferocious local predators
snacked on him, they returned to the town and delivered the boy to the local doctor, an Ithorian.
The characters were then approached by a young human female. Expecting one of them to be Luke
Skywalker, she became nervous when the characters told her none of them were. But they were sent in his
place. The teenager, Jhara, took the characters to her grandfather’s farm to talk with the old man. It was
he who contacted the Rebels about the young boy. Arriving at the farm, the group found the old man, a
failed Jedi, had been attacked by a savage creature and his hounds. It had demanded to know the boy’s
location and beat the old man until he surrendered the information.
Going to the boy’s home, the group arrived just as the creature, a Whippid assassin named Tol
Skaros, killed the boy’s father and his cyborg battle dogs killed the mother. The battle between the power-
armor clad killer and the characters was vicious. But in the end, the characters prevailed and dispatched
the agent of evil. Finding the boy, Caeleb, the characters left the farm after burying his parents.
The characters never knew they were under Thaum’s watchful gaze the whole time. The dark side
adept watched as they killed his apprentice and stole his prize. But ever the patient and cautious man,
Thaum let them escape with the boy. Another time.
The characters returned with Caeleb – the Child of Light – and Jhara. Boarding their ship, the Rebels
sped for open space. Moments after leaving Dalicron-4’s atmosphere, they detected a ship coming out of
hyperspace – an Imperial frigate. The warship demanded they power down and launched a squadron of
TIE’s.
A familiar voice broke in over the comm system. Thaum announced himself as a lieutenant in the
Rebel Alliance and that there would be no surrender. He told the characters to run for it while he and his
boys, a group of four X-Wings, covered them. Unknown to the characters, the “X-Wings” were elaborate
sensor decoys Thaum launched from his ship. He remained in the system long enough to see the
characters escape before entering the safety of hyperspace himself.
The characters launched into hyperspace and away from Dalicron-4. They delivered Caeleb to
Kylbar, a Mon Calamari aide to Admiral Ackbar.

History: You once served with distinction in the Imperial Special Forces. Eliminating any threat to the Empire and
her citizens was your job and you did it well. Then, the jobs got to be nothing but mass murder of innocents.
You had enlisted to fight against other soldiers and warriors, not helpless civilians. The policies continued to get
worse.
So one day, you put your training to work and walked away. Much the same way Crix Madine had left Imperial
service. Only you had no high-ranking friends in the Rebel Command to vouch for you. All the respect you have
now was earned the hard way.
SpecForce command has requested you join their ranks. You would be a welcome addition to their brotherhood.
It's tempting, and maybe you will. The thought of paying the Empire back using the methods they taught you brings
a smile to your face. Yes, that would be very nice.
Your exploits since being thrown in with the other members of this group have shown you the Rebellion is in
definite need of tactical leadership. Thank the Maker that Madine is present at higher levels to keep that bunch in
line. Still, this group isn’t so bad. You just wish they would accept your leadership.
The mission four months ago to find Caeleb, the Child of Light, brought you all closer together as a team. First,
you had to rescue that farmer’s kid in the storm of all storms. Then having to save Caeleb from a homicidal Whippid

him down for kidnapping Caeleb from the Rebels.

Goort: The Trandoshan pilot for your group. Hey, he ain’t Luke Skywalker, but he has definitely developed some
skill. Protector of Sha’lia and a sight to behold in melee.

Maric Tovar: A shy, quiet man who can work wonders with anything electronic. You wish he had more skill as a

Sha’lia: A Twi’lek and former slave dancer, she doesn’t talk about her past too much. Goort helped her escape and
she seems as protective of him as he is of her. She talks a lot about the Force and everyone’s place in it.

Zhir Tolavor: A real psycho who has it in for the Empire. He is does not care what happens to himself.

Mina Dohri: A former senator who is headstrong and thinks that she is always in charge. You often butt heads with
each other over which course of action to take.

Rodians and trained to hunt sentient beings. You preferred to fly starships, and resisted their training. The only thing
you enjoyed during this period was flying with your Rodian owner from place to place. He would never let your
learn to fly the ship, and would have his other guards beat you up to cure you of such nonsense.
One day, you sneaked onto his ship and into the cockpit. You were looking over the controls when you heard a
sound behind you. Expecting more beating, you instead saw the Rodian’s Twi-lek dancer.
The dancer, Sha'lia, said she was trying to escape from her slavery. She asked if you could fly the ship and get
the both of you away. Seeing your chance, you agreed and started working the controls. Somehow, you hit the right
ones and soon the ship was heading into space.
You went together to a place where an unusual man lived. He taught Sha’lia some things you don’t understand,
and taught you about how your captured ship worked.
Your idyllic existence was shattered when Imperial stormtroopers came to kill the man. He gave his life so that
you could escape, and asked you to stay with Sha’lia and protect her. You have done so ever since.
The Rebel Alliance became your new home. You tried the starfighter pilot exam … and failed. But that didn’t
stop your training. Also, you bacame attached to Sha’Lia, deciding to be her protector, just as the old man wanted.
You and Sha’Lia were thrown together with another group several months ago. Sha’Lia said a child needed help
and some important people in the Rebellion wanted the two of you to help. She agreed, so you agreed. You travelled
to a backwater planet to look for him. A boy Sha’Lia called the Child of Light. Whatever that meant. Sha’Lia said it
was important to find the boy before the Empire did. And they let you fly the ship!
You saved some other boy first, but got to sink your axe into some really nasty predators while doing so. It was
worth it! Then when you found the Child of Light, Caeleb, his home was being attacked by a Whippid in power
armor and some cyborg battle dogs. The boy’s parents fell before your group could save them, but you and that

Soulsaber Page 25
irritating Garek took down the assassin, whose name you later learned was Tol Skaros. You took Caeleb and some
human girl and left the planet. Flying as best you could, you escaped some Imperials that showed up, with Thaum’s
help, and turned the Child of Light over to the Rebels.

Garek Tolas: An irritating human, Garek likes to boss people around. As long as he doesn’t do that to you, you
don’t mind. It would remind you too much of your past.

Maric Tovar: He’s kind of a mousy man; he generally is hardly noticeable. He is good at repairing the equipment,
especially droids.

Mina Dhori: Another irritating human and very loud. She is kind of bossy, too. You like to keep a wide distance
between you, as she seems to really like Wookiees. That is what you got from her comments, anyway.

Sha’lia: The Twi’lek that brought you to your new life. You can never be sufficiently grateful to her. You have told
the old man that you would protect her, and you do. You also fly her where she wants to go. She is very nice to you;
the two of you have been through a lot together.

Zhir Tolavor: A Gran, you find his three eyes vaguely disturbing. He comes from the rough side of life, and
probably would have associated with your former master. You are cautious about him.

clear brown eyes. His oil-stained jumpsuit is wrinkled and worn.

History: Exactly how you got tied up with the Rebellion escapes you. All you remember is helping a pretty woman
with a droid problem and the next moment running down alleyways with her to escape stormtroopers.
Since then, you have been with the Rebels. Fixing whatever droid or computer needs fixing, and doing a little
slicing on the side. The latter skill seems to have gotten more use lately, though.
Before joining the Alliance, you had never much thought about the galactic conflict. As long as customers
walked in you shop and spent credits, it didn't matter what their species or political stance was.
Since then, things have started to matter. The oppressive and evil nature of the New Order has come into light.
Their persecution and enslavement of entire worlds has horrified you.
You are still shy around anything other than droids or computers. But the Rebellion needs you and your skills,
and you aren't going to let them down.
Why you got teamed up with this bunch is unknown to you. Maybe they just needed someone who could fix the
ship if the Trandoshan pilot (using that term loosely) broke it. You were sent on an important mission with the
others several months ago to rescue a small boy the supposedly had great power in the Force.
When you got this very remote planet, you found several other ships already there. Two of the three appeared to
have sustained damage of some sort, one bad enough you didn’t know if it would ever fly again. You later met the
owner’s of the two damaged ships. A smuggl … er, scout … named Thaum Rystra owned the less damaged one. He
said he had been jumped by pirates and made an emergency landing here.
Later, he and a local asked for your team’s help in located the local man’s son, who had gotten lost in a terrible
storm. Your talents shown here. Even though the lightning was messing up the ship’s computer systems, you
managed to clean up the sensors enough to locate the boy. The others rescued him. A good night’s work! And your
ability with the sensors seem to impress Mina and Sha’Lia!

Soulsaber Page 27
 The group did find the boy, whose name was Caeleb. But not before a Whippid assassin named Tol Skaros
killed his parents. Garek and Goort fought him, while you looked for the boy. The others took care of a bunch of
cybernetic Nek battle dogs that were Tol’s. Finding Caeleb, who Sha’Lia explained was the Child of Light, you left
the planet.
An Imperial Nebulon frigate showed up, but Thaum appeared with some help and covered your escape. You
returned to the fleet and handed Caeleb over to Rebel Command.

Garek Tolas: A commando that used to work for the Imperials. You’re not exactly sure how well he can be trusted,
but he seems okay so far. He is in constant conflict with Mina over who commands your group.

Goort: The big Trandoshan is getting to be a better pilot. He is fierce and easily intimidates you. He is also
Sha’Lia’s bodyguard.

Mina Dhori: Headstrong and beautiful, she is better suited at making decisions than Garek, in your opinion.

Sha’lia: An escaped slave, Sha’lia has begun to learn the ways of the Force. She tells you that you are strong in the
Force and could learn to use it also. Oh, to have a teacher as beautiful as her.

Zhir Tolavor: The Gran is on the run from the Empire. You have heard they killed his family. He is a little nuts and
always taking unnecessary chances.

Mina is in her mid-twenties. She stands at 1.5 meters and weighs 51 kilograms. Mina has straight auburn hair (often
worn in a single braid) that falls to mid-back and ice-blue eyes. She wears clothing that denotes her to be someone
of importance, but is functional for field work.

History: Korvaii, the small mid-rim planet on which you were raised, was taken by the Empire due to its
agricultural production. Agri-farms cover the planet, and the New Order needs lots of food to keep its war machine
going.
The occupation was civilized at first, but turned harsh when Palpatine dissolved the Senate and took sole power
of the galactic government. Freedoms were restricted and many arrests made. Most of your family was taken to a
“loyalty camp.” You would have been taken there also had you not been on a return trip from Coruscant at the time.
Upon landing, you evaded Imperial troops and slipped onto a cargo ship bound for the Outer Rim.
Following up on rumors you had heard within the Senate, you eventually found a contact for the Rebel Alliance.
Knowing they were the only hope of ridding the galaxy of Palpatine and freeing your planet, you signed on for the
duration.
You have discovered that you enjoy working with the variety of beings that make up the Rebel Alliance.
You’re confidence in leadership and decision making have grown since joining the Rebellion. Taking action has
proven much more effective than the endless debating that seemed to be the standard day in the Senate.
Then came the big chance. Rebel Command – Luke Skywalker himself – asked for you and the others of your
team to save a little boy who was reputed to have strong powers in the Force. He referred to the boy as the Child of
Light. It sounded so important!
Landing on some backside of a backwater world, the natives proved to be rather unfriendly until your team had
to save on of the town’s children during a bad storm. You also met Thaum Rystra, a self-proclaimed “courier” with
a Corellian’s grin. He said he was here making repairs suffered when his ship was attacked by pirates. Yeah, heard

Soulsaber Page 29
that one before. Anyway, just as relations started to thaw some, a girl popped out of the woods and dragged you to
her grandfather’s farm. The old man had been attacked badly. He said some terrible evil had come for Caeleb – the
Child of Light – and you had to save him.
You and your companions arrived just as a big, furry Whippid killing machine murdered the boy’s father and
his cyborg dogs the mother. You, Sha’Lia, and Garek took on the dogs while Goort and Garek fought Tol Skaros,
the Whippid. Maric went and found the boy.
You took Caeleb and the girl, Jhara, and left the planet. Thaum showed showed up with some X-Wing friends
and covered your escape. Arriving back at the fleet, your turned Caeleb and Jhara over to an aide of Admiral
Ackbar.

Garek Tolas: An insufferable man. He thinks just because he was actually in the military, he can tell everyone what
to do. Oh, if he would just learn his place and conceed that you are the groups leader.

Goort: You don’t know why Sha’lia puts up with this brute. She certainly could find a better bodyguard. Thank
goodness he doesn’t crash as much as he used to.

Maric Tovar: A shy man who is amazing with computers and droids. You try to draw him out into conversations.

Sha’lia: A former slave dancer with moves to envy. She is learning the ways of the Force and hopes you will too.

Zhir Tolavor: He makes you nervous. The usual peaceful nature of his kind is nowhere to be found in him. A star
waiting to go nova.

History: You left your homeworld of Kinyen to trade with other species. After traveling to several planets, you and
your lifemate decided to settle on Alderaan. Life was very good for both of you there. The Alderaanians believed in
peace as much as your people did. You even started a family, much to your lifemate's joy.
You had to travel to Chandrila to finalize a deal on some rare wine. While away, the Empire destroyed Alderaan
with its new Death Star. As you watched to pirate feed by the Rebellion of the remains of the planet, the pain and
anguish of your lost family hit you.
You walked away from your business and sold everything you had brought with you. Purchasing weapons to
fight the Empire, you swore an oath to remove the horror of the New Order and its leadership from the galaxy.
Finding a way into the Rebel Alliance, you requested the most dangerous missions. You has had a few
successful missions and honed skills that make you a deadly menace to any Imperial who steps in your path.
With your family gone, the connection to your people is gone and that has made you a little mad. You no longer
care whether or not you live, only how much you can hurt the Empire before your time comes.
A few months ago, the Luke Skywalker told you that a boy was in danger and the empire could get involved.
You accepted the mission hoping to kill some Imperials. As fate had it, no Impies were to be found until the end.
And then there were, well, too many.
You had to save some little boy who had some sort of Force power. Well, you did. But a bunch of
cybernetically enhance battle dogs and a Whippid assassin named Tol Skaros stood in your way. The females took

Soulsaber Page 31
off after the dogs, while the commando and Trandoshan took the Whippid. Maric avoided all the fighting by going
to look for the boy. So you helped against the dogs. Your blasters shot true that day. If it had only been Imperials.
So your team left the planet, but an Imperial warship showed up and threw a bunch of TIE’s at you. The
smuggler Thaum Rystra, who you met just after landing, showed up along with some X-Wings to cover your escape.
But that didn’t keep you from taking a few shots at the Imp fighters before entering hyperspace. You left the boy
and some girl with a Mon Calamari officer.

Garek Tolas: A former Imperial. You always keep one eye on him because he may be a spy.

Maric Tovar: A quiet human who likes to play with computers and droids. The Imperials use droids to kill.

Mina Dhori: A loud human that likes to boss everyone around. She seems to prefer talk over action. Maybe she can
talk the Empire to death.

Goort: A Trandoshan who hates anything having to do with slavery as much as you hate Imperials. He also prefers
the direct path to dealing with problems.

Sha’lia: A Twi’lek that meditates and talks about helping you.

Appearance:
Sha’lia stands at 1.8 meters in height and weighs 54 kilograms. She has olive green hued skin and black-iris eyes.
Sha'lia moves with the definite grace that only years of dancing can develop. She prefers to dress in a loose fitting
jumpsuit, with a blaster and lightsaber worn around her waist.

History: You were taken by slavers and sold to a Rodian crimelord four years ago. The Rodian had you trained to
be one of his personal dancers. You had to do your best for him. Failure to please was a death sentence.
You began to have dreams in these lonely times. An old human dressed in tattered robes would appear in your
dreams and tell you to come to him on Altikar IV. Whenever you had dreams of him, you would feel oddly at peace.
Deciding to steal away from the Rodian, you followed one of his Trandoshan guards to the crimelord's personal
ship. You knew from inquiries that this Trandoshan, often beat up by the other guards, wanted to fly ships.
Cornering him in the cockpit, you cut a deal and he flew the two of you away (it wasn't pretty, but you lived).
Following your instincts, you found Altikar IV and the old man. He claimed to be a Jedi and wanted to teach
you the ways of the Force. He opened you to the Force and it overwhelmed you. You agreed immediately.
Jhor-Kai, your master, began instructing you one the ways of the Force, the Jedi, the light side and the dark
side. It was so much to learn. But you soaked it all in. Jhor-kai even took time to train the Trandoshan the basics of
flying. Master Kai could speak Dosh, the Trandoshans language, and told you his name was Goort.
One day, you were training with Master Kai and Goort was watching, when the Imperials caught up with the
Jedi. He sent you away as they rushed into your training area. Jhor-Kai ignited his lightsaber and delayed the
Imperials long enough for you to get to the ship.

Soulsaber Page 33
 As Goort fired up the engines, Kai's voice echoed in your head. "You will find others like you in the Rebellion.
Join them, my student." And then he was gone.
You found the Rebellion, and have encountered a few other beings trained in manipulating the Force. So far,
though, you have not been able to find another master.
You have committed yourself to helping the Rebellion free the galaxy from the tyranny of the Empire, no
matter how long it takes. Goort chose to stay with you, to serve as your pilot and protector.
Your first big assignment was given to you by Luke Skywalker. He wanted you to find a young boy who was
possesed a unique and powerful gift with the Force. Agreeing, you and your companions flew to a remote planet in
the Outer Rim. The planet did not have much contact with the rest of the Galaxy and was rather distrustful of your
group at first. But you did meet a human named Thaum Rystra, who said he had landed to make some emergency
repairs after he was jumped by a gang of pirates. Later that night, you saved a farmer’s son during a very bad storm.
The next morning a teenage girl rode up to the group and asked you to come with her. Her grandfather needed
you – he was the one that had requested the Rebels come. Getting to the farm, you discovered the old man had been
attacked. He claimed to have been a Jedi at one time, but ultimately failed. He came here to be alone. The boy was
named Caeleb. You had to hurry to him. The creature that had attacked him was going after Caeleb next.
Your group arrived at Caeleb’s farm almost too late. The creature, a Whippid assassin named Tol Skaros, was
fighting the boy’s father, while some terrifying dogs attacked the mother. You couldn’t save either one of them.
After a lot of fighting, Tol and his dogs were defeated and the boy was safely in your hands.
You returned to your ship and left the planet, only to encounter an Imperial ship dropping out of hyperspace.
Thaum showed up with some friends and covered your escape. Returning to the Rebel fleet, you turned Caeleb and
the girl over to Kylbar, an aide to Admiral Ackbar.

Garek Tolas: Self-appointed leader of the group (in addition to Mina). Has good tactical and combat sense.

Maric Tovar: Quiet and keeps to himself. He is very good with mechanical devices. You have sensed his strength
in the Force and are trying to talk him into learning more about it.

Mina Dhori: Bossy and arrogant, but you find yourself drawn to her. Makes a good leader. She is also strong in the
Force.

Goort: Your protector and pilot. He helped you escape the Rodian.

Zhir Tolavor: A Gran bent on vengeance. His current path is sure to lead him to the dark side, if he lives through it.
