Planet Name: Mon Calamri
System Name: Calamari
Sector: Xappyh
Terrain: Oceans and small islands
Zones: Surface to Water terminals, Space Dock
Seen from space, the planet Mon Calamari appears as a tranquil deep blue orb with few landmasses. Despite the inherently peaceful nature of the native species that shares its name with the world, the endless oceans have been stained by bloody war on many occasions.
Two aquatic species have struggled for dominance on Mon Calamari for ages. Though the conflict has subsided in the face of greater external threats, neither the Mon Calamari nor the Quarren will ever forget the violence that has marred their histories.
The Mon Calamari developed as coastal dwellers, living comfortably in both the water and on the surface. The Quarren lived in the depths, only surfacing on rare occasions and with great difficulty. The Mon Calamari developed culturally and technologically while the Quarren trailed behind as primitive savages. Contact between the two species was sporadic, and almost always violent. The aggressive Quarren grew to hate their strange world-mates, and would strike from the depths repeatedly. The more advanced Mon Calamari had the means to deflect such strikes time and again, but could not determine how to make the Quarren stop.
Thus, centuries ago, the Mon Calamari embarked on a bold and controversial experiment. They abducted a generation of Quarren children from their parents, and raised them instead. They uprooted the primitive Quarren society, and attempted to civilize the people from the deep. It worked, after a fashion. The new generations of Quarren did not seek to make war with their neighbors, but since those days, many have always harbored resentment against their more sophisticated cousins.
The newfound cooperation between the Mon Cals and the Quarren proved to be a boon to the planet. The Quarren were skilled miners, drawing precious ores from the ocean floors. The Mon Calamari were able starshipwrights, building majestic vessels to ply the local spacelanes in exploration. The Mon Cals were dreamers, with their heads in the stars. The Quarren were pragmatists, with their heads deep below the oceans. Though a small number of Quarren undertook a few scattered colonial ventures to get away from the oceans, the species as a whole had no interest in joining the galaxy at large.
When the Republic discovered Mon Calamari, it was the Commerce Guild that took the most interest. The mineral assets of the planet were most attractive, and the Guild insinuated itself into the local government. The Calamari Council soon became staffed by Guild-appointees, all of them Quarren mining barons made exceedingly wealthy by graft from the Commerce Guild. With the Quarren basically in charge of the planet, they put a chokehold on the burgeoning Mon Calamari space program, enacting a policy of isolationism that kept the planet in interstellar stagnation for decades.
The outbreak of the Clone Wars split the planet into civil war. The corrupt Quarren, Senator Tikkes, sought to bring his world into the Separatist fold, but he was censured before he could do so. A loyalist Senator, Tundra Dowmeia, was installed in his wake, but he could not keep Separatist-sympathies quiet among the Quarren. A radical movement, the Quarren Isolation League, sought to rid the oceans of any Republic presence. The local Mon Calamari Knights took up arms to stop them. Coruscant answered by sending General Kit Fisto to help the Knights, and together, they were able to bring Mon Calamari back into the Republic fold.

Mak remained silent as he exited the Lightbringer and stepped onto mon calamri. His eyes scanned the terrain for master Ch'unkk and the others who he left with. It was indeed unfortunate for the place where he called home for the original 16 years of his life, but he also knew that part of being a Jedi was having to let go, and although the loss was painful, he managed to put the pain behind him and push on.
"Good to see you arrived safely, Master" Mak said to Master Ch'unkk as he saw him enter the public hanger.

Don't worry about gathering anything I have some friends on their way to do that, now follow me.
CH'unkk led them on a winding path through the city it to twice as long as it should have but Ch'unkk wanted to make sure they where not followed and that no one was watching.

Ch'unkk lead them to a large mansion walking right past the guards and into the house. Walking down a few flights of stairs Ch'unkk takes them down to a large empty room the old gym of the house and stood in the middle.
Welcome to our new home for the next few weeks boys. We will be safe here untile i can arrange for the new temple to be built.
Ch'unkk walked ouver to a few of the resident "servents" and asked them to go to the Lightbringer and bring back the credits and the food.

~A faint hum could be heard as Uyo's freighter Rusty entered the hemisphere of Mon Calamari. Uyo landed at a dock and left his ship. He approuched the first guard and got the proper clearance, he gave him a handsome tip as not to raise suspition. Apon entering he leaned againsed a wall and tried to reach out with the force to Find Master Ch'unkk. He felt a faint trace that was very close.~

Ch'unkk feels the familer presence of Uyo reaching out in the force.
Come to us Uyo it is no longer safe for us in public for the time being.
Looking down at Revenat Ch'unkk shakes his head in dissaprovil.
Revenat why are you wearing that Helmat and resperator? There is no need of that here, no one in this part of the city will turn us in they owe to much to Quint in myself to do that. Now would you please take those off, it does not give you the aura a jedi should have one of calm and confidance, those five you the the aura of fear.

Revenant removes the helmet quickly.
I am sorry Master Ch'Unkk, when you are a wanted criminal is it oft best to disguise ones features. I did not know that the people of this city would be so trusting of us after the report. I was trained to suspect the worst of intentions in those I do not know well enough to trust in a potential war zone. As they say, old habits die hard.
Revenant tosses them to Belial and he quickly stows them away.

I understand Reventant, me and Quint where famous fighters here before we learned that I was able to become a Jedi. During those years we donated time and money to help clean up the city, and QUint was a vigilante going out at night and fighting crime, he has been like that since his parents where killed by spice addicts when he was young. You can explore the house just do not leave the interior it is still not the safest place we will be untile the new temple is built.
With that Ch'unkk heads out of the house and twords the ship building district.
