Using the Garden in a Star Wars Campaign

It took me a long time to prepare this post, for a variety of reasons. Even so, I think it'll be the first in a series that rounds out adventure ideas for scrumrats beneath Coronet City.

Using the Garden in a Star Wars Campaign
This location can be incorporated into adventures and campaigns in many different ways; a few of the possibilities are detailed here.
  • Rhea Eluko's garden is known as a place of sanctuary throughout the sewers of Corellia; as such, many beings who are otherwise ruthless in their dealings hesitate to do violence there. There are exceptions, of course.
  • In particular, she provides a haven for the local children—known as “scrumrats”—who are controlled by various crime bosses. For that reason, she has gradually been earning the animosity of beings such as Sedaru and Kovin, Devaronians who run the band of thieves known as The Pack. Should any Scrumrats run afoul of their employer, they could come to her for shelter.
  • Her kind nature has allowed Eluko to become a rare friend of Brond Yulira, the lost Padawan who dwells in the sewers beneath Coronet City.
  • Efforts to live peacefully become more complicated when someone finds a droid that once belonged to the notorious crimelord Slarr the Hutt. There are secrets contained in its brain that Slarr and its minions would kill to protect.
  • Finally there is the matter of the Sullustan's ship, a Ghtroc-720 freighter that, once raised from the water of the nearby sea, could provide a means of leaving Corellia once and for all.
  • If a group of characters ever brought together most or all of these elements—such as scrumrats connecting with Rhea, befriending Yulira, finding the droid and discovering its secrets, and preparing the ship for flight—then this could be the launch of countless adventures throughout the galaxy.

The Reeho
As mentioned above, the ship that Eluko Rhea abandoned in the sea near Coronet City is a Ghtroc-720 freighter. While it has suffered some damage due to being submerged, it only requires a bit of care in order to become spaceworthy once again. In game terms, this should be treated in the same manner as the Engines Down result on the Critical Hit table from page 244 of the Core Rulebook.

Ghtroc 720 Freighter: Refer to page 62 of the Enter the Unknown sourcebook for stats.
