Lore Quest [LM2]

"Then maybe it's time to start playing for the other team. The nice has been tried. Irrespective of my general attitude towards the Hutts, someone who treats the Sith without respect deserves little of it in return. The Mandalorians they employ are close to Ordos and Caderas, Republic sympathisers. If this Crescent is capable of a raid like this, maybe they can get us things quicker than another round of groveling before slugs. Like setting the scholar free. What do you think, Jo'Ren?"

[Jo'ren Rath]

Jo'ren had watched the whole exchange with mild annoyance. "What do I think? Never trust a Hutt." He looked back at the place they had just been wandering around in. "What does this 'Crescent Shadow' even want?"

He shrugged. "I'm not sure why they'd help, but hey, if anyone can persuade them it's you."

"From what I gather, they want to revolt against the Hutts. The idea they may have drawn from Darth Hoshi's playbook. Probably the bulk of them comes from the indigenous people of this planet, the Evocii. The place was called Evocar in their times before the Hutts conquered it and renamed it. It looks like this Crescent Shadow may be some organisation of theirs, capable of staging assaults like this. They supposedly have cells, not just here, but also on Nar Shaddaa where they constitute a big part of slave labour. I think this is not the last think we've seen from them. But if what we witnessed is any indication, they probably know how to bite, but not how to bite off." She took off the mask and smiled at Jo'ren. "The question is what we would want to convince them to."
