All hyperspace checks to Endor +10

Approaching the planet Endor is not easy. Several Difficult Astrogation checks are needed due the large gravitational disturbances causes by the Gas Giant and other local anomalies. Over the years many an unwary spacefarer has crashed in the system. The lucky few who survived, a human named Noa being one (Ewoks: The Battle for Endor), have managed to land on Endor’s forest moon, code-named ‘Sanctuary Moon’ by the Empire.

The forest moon teems with life. By day the friendly Ewoks roam freely with only the occasion threat from the brutish Duloks. At night the Ewoks hide away in their treetop villages while ferocious monsters hunt on the forest floor.

Battle of Endor

Towards the end of the Galactic Civil War the Empire chose Endor as the construction site of the second Death Star. Here Emperor Palpatine planned on luring the Rebel star fleet to it’s doom. However, a rebel strike team landed on the Sanctuary Moon and, with the aid of a tribe of Ewoks, managed to deactivate the shield generator protecting the Imperial Battle Station. The Death Star was destroyed, the Emperor killed, and the Fall of the Empire had begun.

 

Ewoks

Ewoks are a meter high bipedal race. Although tewok_header.hey have a primitive lifestyle they are wonderfully inventive building high tree villages, gliders and sail boats. A peaceful race, they spend their days hunting and collecting food for their tribe. This said, they can be fierce warriors. It was the help of the Ewoks that allowed the Rebel Alliance to defeat the Imperial forces at the Battle of Endor. They are mischievous by nature and have and overwhelming sense of wanderlust. Young Ewoks love to go adventuring, often without their parents permission. Ewoks are naturally drawn to the light side and their culture reflects their beliefs. Although they hunt animals for foods, and readily defend themselves, they are a peaceful people. They worship nature. The forest and the trees especially. Ewoks believe that when they die their spirit goes to a special tree in the Bright Tree forest. They also believe in the spirits which live in the Great Trees.

Ewok Shaman

Shamatic ‘magic’ is more based in belief and superstition than actual use of the force.

The Ewok Shaman only has the Sense Force power. This can be raised using empowered items, such as magic stones.

Consulting the Bones

By throwing the Bones and consulting the Great Tree Spirits

If this ritual is performed in a forest the Shaman gains a +2 bonus onto Sense (+1D if on Endor)

GM Note: Most of the time a random decision is made from the bones.

As previously mentioned. Ewok Shamatic arts are not always that accurate.  When 'Consulting the Bones' the GM should get the PC to roll a couple of dice to get a random decision eg. roll 1D, odds go left, evens go right.

Empowering Item

To Empower an item Ewok Shamans use their SENSE skill.  This is a special use of the Sense Skill only available to Ewok Shamans.  It allows a Shaman to create powered items for use in rituals when using the Spirit of the Great Tree (the Force)

Healing Satchel

This can be used to treat up to 20 wounds. It consists of a mix of herbs which the Ewok collects.  A Knowledge roll, Natural medicines: Moderate must be made to know which herbs that can be used.  The GM may wish to also apply a search difficulty to find the herbs.

The Ewok must also spend a Force Point. The Ewok will receive this Force point back at the End of the Adventure.

The Healing Satchel is used as a medpac and can be used by any character.  The Healing Satchel can be used 20 times before it is expended.

The Ewok Battle Wagon

The Ewok Battle Wagon was created by the Ewok warrior Erpham Warwick, and was later revived by his great-grandson Wicket. The Battle Wagon consists of a large ram supported by four wheels topped with a Bantha Skull. It will normally be pulled by two to four Bordoks controlled by a driver who sits atop the Wagon. Depending upon the size of the wagon it can normally carry between six to ten passengers either inside or on top.

Races of Endor

Sanyassan Marauders of Endor

These space pirates crashed on the forest moon long ago. They have since built a stone castle in the Dragon Pelt grasslands. These brutes have no mercy when dealing with the other races of Endor. They are the only ones on the moon with technology. But as the years pass the knowledge of it dwindles. Their blasters are jury-rigged and could just as easily explode as shoot an energy bolt. Marauders seek nothing but power, but probably wouldn’t know what to do with it if they had it.

Their relationships with other Endor inhabitants has been varied over the years. They have fought the Ewoks and the Duloks as well as aiding the Tulgah witch, Morag. Singing is a favourite pastime for Yuzzum. They have amazing vocal talents and a few have even found their way off Endor and integrated into galactic society as established singing artists.

Tulgah

In the darkest caves of the Dragons Spine mountains dwell a race of trolls known as Tulgah. They are a primitive race as most are on Endor, but through the years their Shaman’s and Witches have delved deeper into the Dark arts. Some believe that a Sith Sorcerer once took refuge in the mountains and that the Tulgah have found some of his teachings. The most powerful Witch to emerge from the Tulgah was the witch Morag. The Tulgah have tamed the Mantigrue as beasts of burden and war.

The Great Tree Spirits

The strangest of the creatures on Endor are the Spirits. The Ewoks see the spirits as good omens, and it is said that some Shaman have even been able to communicate freely with these spirits.

These spirits are like a manifestation of the Force. The light side spirits appears as wisps or fairies, even offering bonus’s to characters in need.

There is a down side. The Dark Side can also manifest these spirits, just as it did in the cave on Dagobah, creating a manifestation of Darth Vader brought on by Luke’s negative emotions. These Dark Spirits will often offer favours to the Dark Witches and evil Shaman of Endor.

Attributes / Skills

GM discretion. They have no physical form so would only have Knowledge, Perception and Force skills. There is really no limit to their actual skill min or max.

They may be harmed with Mental attacks, and thus can cause harm through Mental attacks.
