(The universe today, all of the following is considered general Knowledge)
The planet you all are on is designated -third slated for survival- by the old sith empire. That is a rather raw designation for its meaning. Third slated for survival means that, of the systems destroyed after the second sith war by Revan's fleet, it was the third habitable planet that was spared along the border of the great divide. Less raw and more commonly used is the system nickname, Power. The old sith nickname is from the sith code. Passion, Strength, Power, Victory, and Freedom. Each is a nickname of one of the five spared systems along the great divide. They are also a constant reminder that each of these systems exist solely because the sith allowed them to. The more active reminder was the garrison of sith troops placed on each planet. You see, each planet also served as a military base of the sith along the divide.
Still, that was all nearly 4,000 years ago, simply a history lesson every child is taught. The old sith bases are all disbanded today, virtually nothing is left of them on any of the worlds. The sith long ago returned back to the star forge system to bolster their defenses against some unknown threat. The same threat that stopped them from completing the great divide.
Today, Power is a very ironic name. The system is impoverished and far to close to the gravimetric distortions and debris in the divide. Most abandoned the system with the sith, leaving behind a single, infrequently used, spaceport and a somewhat respectable settlement surrounding it. The only reason any spacer stops at this world is to get away from the inter-galactic trade rout for a few days. Those who want off the trade rout tend to be of a more devious manner. Pirates, smugglers, anybody who is trying to get away from the powers that be. This makes the local militia quite paranoid of any newcomers to town.
The main city, Midwan, is the only significant population center on the planet. Surrounding it are several farm communities that trade with the city. All of you are from the same community, the township of Vor. Vor is less a town than a meeting place for the surrounding farmlands. The town proper is where all of you met originally. Remal, Jinn, and Ryuu -who insists on being called Dr.- all hit it off well. Bruce and the Dr also got along well thanks to their similar interest/abilities with the outdoors. Doran met the group after being on the wrong end of various exploits and was eventually coerced into joining them, thanks to his position in the militia. The last member to join in was Jorus -often refereed to as slug-, the noble who lived with Borga the Hutt at the time (trevor, try not to explode with excitement). After Slug gained his freedom and his property, he began to plan out how to increase his fortunes. Borga owned a section of the spaceport and had need of a loyal force to help increase his own fortune. With Slag's praise, the group began work for the Hutt.
"Ah, you must be Slug's friends," bellows the hutt in perfect, if not oddly hyper for a hutt, basic. "Come in, come in." The hutt motions for you to enter his dusty office attached to the spaceport. It is a simple, wooden structure, something built on the cheap ages ago. The structure shows its wear as light dances through the holes in the ceiling onto the warped floorboards. It is an empty building, roughly large enough for a couple speeders to park inside of, with one entrance and a door behind the hutt. "And please forgive the appearance of the building. It may not look like much but it is best to keep a low profile in my line of work. I am sure you all understand." The hutt lets three low laughs escape his lips.
