The Avesta Family
The Avesta family legacy stretches back to Makeb's founding centuries ago, when a refugee starship crash-landed on the planet. The earliest Avestas were hardy merchant explorers who established a series of profitable settlements across their new homeworld. Eventually, the family created the Avesta Mining Corporation and led Makeb's Business Council in negotiating successful trade partnerships with the Republic and Hutt Cartel.

When the InterStellar Regulators' mercenaries betrayed Makeb's leaders and aided the Hutt Cartel's takeover, most of the Avesta family evacuated offworld. A handful remained to resist the Hutts: Shalim Avesta organizes a rebellion and enlists the Republic's aid, while his younger brother Pollus actively leads armed fighters to retake key positions. Their niece, stridently anti-mining geophysicist Lemda Avesta, had been a family embarrassment until this crisis made her knowledge invaluable to discovering the source of Makeb's groundquakes.

Darth Marr
One of the longest-serving members of the Dark Council, Darth Marr is a terrifying warrior and a true believer in the Sith Code. In the early days of the war, he seized world after world for the expanding Empire and gained a reputation for personally leading charges against Republic defenders. However, once the Empire had established its power and the war began to drag on, Marr found fewer opportunities to leave the Dark Council chambers and directly engage in the fray--a situation that embittered the Sith Lord.

Marr's creed is "Life is the enemy. Death is our solace." He believes in strife and the glory of conflict, and rumors among his rivals claim that he sees his own death approaching. True or not, Marr carries out his duties with unresigned fury and determination.

With his humanity long forgotten and his face unseen, Marr's inner thoughts are impossible to determine. But his desire to leave a strong Empire behind him is unquestioned, and his abilities are second to none.

Supreme Chancellor Saresh
The Supreme Chancellor of the Republic serves as both political arbiter and leader of the free galaxy--and no one is better suited to the honor than Leontyne Saresh.

Enslaved by the Empire as a young child, the charismatic, ambitious and fiercely intelligent Saresh escaped her captors to become a passionate opponent of Imperial injustices. After Imperial forces sacked the Republic capital of Coruscant to end the war, Saresh launched an illustrious political career that would win her a seat on the Republic Senate, governorship of Taris and a fearless reputation.

When war erupted again, Saresh was elected by the Senate to replace Supreme Chancellor Janarus. Surrounded by ardent supporters and loyal political allies, she delivered an impassioned speech on the steps of the Senate tower calling for the eradication of the Sith Empire. Saresh's rousing words inspired millions and gave birth to a new age in which the Republic would stop at nothing to win the conflict and ensure the galaxy's freedom.

→ szajin
Szajin, the Hutt Archon
Millennia ago, the Hutt Empire ruled hundreds of star systems. Among its officials were the Archons: part judge, part cultist, chosen to embody and enforce the ancient Hutt ways and maintain the purity of the Hutt Empire against all threats. When the Hutt Empire fell, the Archons faded with it.

For three hundred years, Szajin has served as a "problem solver" inside the Hutt Cartel. Never aspiring to be a crime lord or mogul, never seeking public recognition or luxury beyond the basic extravagances due any Hutt, Szajin has long enjoyed the shadowy games of manipulation needed to maintain the Cartel's power.

But Szajin desires a return to greatness for his people. To this end, he has reclaimed the title of Archon and serves as a secret advisor to the Cartel's leaders. Szajin is determined to see the return of a great Hutt Empire and take pride in his species once more.

→ toborro_the_hutt
Toborro the Hutt
The ruthless and paranoid Hutt known as Toborro has led his fellow Cartel members on a campaign to carve out their own galactic empire, starting on the planet Makeb. Toborro believes it is his people's mandate--and, more specifically, his destiny--to end this foolish war between the Republic and Empire. He does not tolerate failure in his subordinates and is constantly watching for signs of betrayal from his allies.

Toborro is clever, brutal and willing to eliminate an entire planet's population to achieve his ambitions. As Toborro put it in a fiery speech to his fellow Cartel leaders: "For too long, we have bent over backwards doing business with both sides, when these lesser factions are mere insects compared to our glorious and long-lived people! Why should we bother negotiating with creatures who are only fit to be slaves?"

Under-Moff Bensen
As a young Imperial cadet, Arribid Bensen took every opportunity to eschew soldiering and excel in the sciences. Eventually becoming an expert in geotechnical engineering, Bensen leapt at the opportunity to oversee construction of a complex system of bridges over a particularly hazardous marsh on Dromund Kaas. Bensen railed against the existing design, noting a key weakness at its foundation. His concerns were ignored, but when rebel slaves eventually exploited that very weakness, leveling the entire bridge system, Bensen became a crucial voice of reason.

Bensen has since travelled the galaxy as a consultant, pointing out the geological weaknesses of military installations and enemy targets alike. Bensen was most recently dispatched to Makeb to oversee the sensitive task of extracting mass quantities of isotope-5 from the dying planet. He was also given the new rank of "Under-Moff" in recognition of his unique importance.

Related planet:	Makeb Beautiful, serene and abundant in resources, Makeb has grown to become one of the greatest resort destinations in the galaxy. For a time, wealthy executives and socialites flocked to the planet to enjoy its remote locale, comfortable climate and exotic vistas without any need for concern over political entanglements. Even the more frequent occurrence of groundquakes in recent years could not place a dent in Makeb's prosperous tourism, banking and mining trades. Recent events, however, have changed matters for the worse. With its precarious position on the edge of Hutt Space, Makeb has drawn the attention of the Hutt Cartel. Just what the Hutts intend for the planet remains to be seen. Category: Planets FQN: cdx.planets.makeb Makeb
