Recently

The Omega Crew made touchdown on Bothawui following their escape from the mining colony Gavos. They brought with them the rebel agent Mati Darryn and set course to the city of Drev'starn to make contact with a Bothan agent named Hatiah Dif'lot -- or 'Hati' -- to reach a rebel cell that hid out in the basement of a Bothan street-corner diner in a residential area just outside Drev'starn.

latest?cb=20140608232720

Drev'starn is the capital city of Bothawui, located in a long and broad valley near the planet's equator. It features multiple parks, spacious malls, and open plazas connected by wide and well-manicured streets. Commercial and business districts surround these public areas, radiating outward toward the tall mountain cliffs to the city's northern and southern edge.

The main residential suburbs of the city are located in a band of foothills surrounding the city, accessible from the city centre via repulsor-powered trams and transit tubes. Ideally, the Bothans aim to not let their industrial sprawl grow too wide - but instead keep it compact, and allow urban development to complement their natural surroundings, not dominate them.

The climate is temperate, leaning on warm. Drev'starn enjoys a climate ranging between 10-15 degrees Celsius in the winter, and and 25-30 degrees in the summer. It is a relatively humid planet, as well, and the Bothans try to keep their cities smart, orderly, and scattered with green plots and plazas.

  • Planetary Weapons Permit. Open carry of weaponry is not permitted within the planet's cities. Concealed carry-ons are permitted with appropriate licensing from authorities on the planet. Such a permit starts at 3,000 CR for light, concealable weaponry and go up from there. The permits tend to have a three week processing period, and permission is usually only given to licensed bodyguards and rarely ever to civilians.

Points of Interest

  • Drev'starn Spaceport. Coming in to the capital city, ships are most often directed to its main Imperial-class spaceport. It is a massive location build on an artificially levelled mountaintop, and holds an impressive view of the entirety of the city. it is a point of prestige for the Bothans, and many companies pay large sums to conduct business in close vicinity to the spaceport.
    • The spaceport is a good place to find unusual items and make illicit deals, though they tend to be fairly expensive (-2 to item find checks, 2x normal market value above Rarity 3).

  • Downtown Shopping Plazas. The commercial districts in the heart of Drev'starn are places of some renown in Bothan space and beyond, though they are mostly known for offering high-end products at stiff markups.

  • Residential Districts. A number of residential areas extend like sattelites from the city centre, each one reachable by repulsor-powered trams and transit tubes. The Bothans aim to not let their industrial sprawl grow too wide, but instead keep it as compact as possible and allow urbanm development to complement their natural surroundings. Each of these districts are fairly scenic locations, though they do not offer many ways to get between each of them without first going via the city centre.
