The Republic had no idea what they were getting into, only that it was dangerous. Navigating this planet was suicide to any outsiders, and to most of the citizens. Eons ago, the Sith Purebloods tried to conquer this world, and soon were forced to abandon it. These Jedi and their clones are arrogant idiots, you’re convinced of it, but at least they’ve had enough sense to be wary. When they inquired about a guide through the…wilder regions, you were the only one recommended. Now the two Jedi and their commanding officers are here, sitting at the rough booth in this primitive cantina (despite Republic trade efforts this world had always remained primitive, barbaric). They won’t say exactly where they need to go, which is a problem, because it directly affects whether or not you will take this job.
“We just need a general guide through the tundra regions. We’ve been told you know the paths through the wilderness,” says the Jedi called Kenobi.
“I do, but I can’t just take you anywhere. It is a realm of horrors. Even if you know where you’re going, there are places where you won’t survive, places you can’t always avoid. Even if I only guide you a couple miles from the border, there’s not guarantee that you won’t get hurt. Honestly, don’t expect to get out alive either.”
One of the clones speaks up, the one with blue painted on his armor and bleached hair, and a face that somehow seems more handsome than his brother, at least to you. “Respectfully, but we’ve heard this already from other locals, but they also said you’ve lived most of your life deep within the tundra and survived. You succeeded.”
You lean back into the booth. “I survived because I am one of the monsters, and there are still things in that wild that terrify me.”
