Dar'manda (Mek-Sha Gang)

In Mandalorian society, a Dar'manda is an exile--someone who has broken the strictures of honor and duty so severely that they are deemed unworthy of their heritage. It is considered by most Mandalorians to be a punishment worse than death.

This designation is meant as a mark of shame, but Indigo's crew on Mek-Sha bears it proudly, even continuing to brazenly wear their Mandalorian armor in mockery. Though he started his gang with just a few other exiles and a modest supply of stolen weapons, Indigo and the Dar'manda curried favor on Mek-Sha quickly by supplying those weapons to help overthrow Hutt control of the asteroid.

The gang primarily deals in illicit weapons and takes on mercenary contracts. They've attracted dozens of other misfit outlaws over the years--many, but not all, true ex-Mandalorians like Indigo himself. The Dar'manda have such a notorious reputation that the mere presence of a few of their members is usually enough to deter attacks on their charges, due to both their skill in combat and their powerful arsenal of weapons.

The Hand of the Empire

Reformed in the wake of the assault on the Meridian Complex shipyard, the Hand of the Empire is an elite organization operating outside the authority of the Dark Council. Agents of the Hand act with the full authority of the Imperial throne, granting them extraordinary leeway in carrying out their missions across the galaxy.

Although it maintains an air of mystery among the general public, the modern incarnation of the Hand is strictly pragmatic, focused only on securing victory for the Empire over its Republic enemies - unlike the original Hand, whose members were fanatical zealots so obsessed with serving their master that they were willing to sacrifice themselves and all other life in the galaxy to serve his apocalyptic agenda.

Harido Wald

"No good rebellion follows the rules." - Veek the Sneak to Gritha Dar

Founded by Veek the Sneak, Harido Wald started as a small smuggling ring with an extremely limited network of contacts. Operating mostly in oppressive Hutt territories meant Harido Wald barely eked out a profit; the group only survived thanks to Veek's genial method of making deals and the loyalty of Harido Wald's members. That loyalty was put to the test after Veek promised Gritha Dar, the leader of a slave rebellion against the Hutt rulers of Mek-Sha, the services of his organization.

With the Hutts gone and Gritha Dar (now known as Huttbreaker) ruling Mek-Sha, Veek saw a prime opportunity to put Harido Wald on the map. Mek-Sha's denizens were clamoring for goods they had been denied for years, so Veek relocated his base of operations to the newly liberated station.

Task Force Nova

With the Jedi Order scattered in the aftermath of the war against Zakuul, the Republic faces a key disadvantage in their war against the Sith Empire, whose Force users are more focused and united than in past conflicts. Eager to regain their lost allies, the Republic has formed Task Force Nova, a united civilian/military/Jedi effort to rebuild and revitalize the Jedi.

Given the importance of its mission, Task Force Nova has been granted top priority status and accelerated access to any resources necessary to locate and unite the unknown number of Jedi still in hiding across the galaxy, as well as any training efforts needed to prepare the next generation of Jedi to defend the Republic from its longtime foes.

The Ash'ad

"I convinced Luth to come with me. I showed him we could no longer follow Vizla. We are warriors, we should be taking our fight to Zakuul, not the worthless machines on Darvannis. Vizla may be Mandalore, but Zakuul left no other challengers. Maybe this is her way of thanking them.

I know there are others who feel the same, who will come with me too. There is a king who will let us hunt on his world. It is swarming with beasts the mightiest of us could only imagine. We can finally meet worthy prey again. The fool king wants tribute from our quarry, to slay offworld creatures and bring them to him from time to time. In return, he will leave us to hunt in peace. The di'kut doesn't understand that acquiring his "payment" will bring us the honor we crave.

When we leave, Vizla will say we are not Mando'ade, and those sheb'urcyin who have forgotten what that word means will agree with her. But if what she has made us is "Mando'ade," then I want no part of it. I will be ash'ad. I will be someone else."
--From the journal of Mirli Lok, leader of the Ash'ad

→ the_untamed

The Untamed

Led by Akoru--who claims direct descent from the ancient Beast Riders of Onderon--the Untamed continue the tradition of occupying the planet's dangerous jungles, relying on their ability to tame the notoriously vicious creatures that inhabit them. This skill is passed down from generation to generation, along with fierce combat abilities and stories of how their ancestors were exiled to the wilderness when an outsider--the Sith Lord Freedon Nadd--conquered most of Onderon's population.

Unlike their predecessors, the Untamed adhere to strict isolationist beliefs, including a brutal disgust for offworlders and anyone who associates with them. A ritualistic people, the Untamed will at least entertain those who respect their ceremonies or can best them in combat--for a short time.

Related planet:	Mek-Sha First established by the Hutt Cartel, the asteroid mining station of Mek-Sha was seized by its own laborers in a daring uprising, and control of the station was divided amongst a council of its largest crews. Now a haven for smugglers, slavers, and the criminal underworld, Mek-Sha has come to be known as the outlaw crossroads of the galaxy. With a finite amount of fuel available beneath its surface, Mek-Sha has long proven to be a difficult operation to maintain. As the network of mines expand to reap the sources of fuel, the station's integrity is left in constant jeopardy. To curb this threat, fueling rights are permitted only to those capable of earning a majority vote from the ruling council. The station is also fortified by a powerful deflector shield and a failsafe mechanism capable of rendering every ounce of fuel on the station inert in the event of an uprising or incursion.
