Alright you mixed bunch of people you... It's resistance time! Basically this is in response to the Republican loss of Bothawui, and consists of making Hutt lives hell until they give up and leave. Fo' sho'.
The idea is that during the retreat from Bothawui, many Republic ground troops (and other personnel) would have been abandoned by the fleeing navy, stranded at evac points and waiting for the transports that would never come while the Hutts advanced upon them.
Obviously most of them will have been killed/captured, as is the norm when a defeated army's troops are bracketed and trying desperately to flee the field of battle. Some will have escaped this fate, though, and in Bothawui's case at least have begun a campaign of guerilla warfare, forming an underground resistance against the occupancy.
IC this consists of what I hope to turn into a series of mission threads in which members of the resistance risk life and limb to disrupt Hutt activities, distribute counter-propaganda and even assassinate military/political figureheads. They aim to get noticed, to give the Bothans hope and the knowledge that the Republic is still fighting for them, no matter how long the odds.
Your character doesn't have to have been in the Bothawui battle threads to participate in this, they may have not been on the frontline during the fighting or they may even have been on Bothawui on other business when the attack happened. It's up to you and as long as your reasoning is sound I'm not going to rain on your parade.
Depending on interest I'll start either one or two threads tonight or tomorrow morning.
FOR THE REPUBLIC! :CHappy
EDIT: Any preferences for the first one or two missions? I was thinking of maybe some counter propaganda distribution, or disruption of supply lines to the occupancies forces. Also, this thread (on that page, scroll up) has a useful summary of the occupation thus far, courtesy of Santoro. It makes for good reading if you want in.
