Sura Sindo

Sura Sindo is a moon in the Wild Regions of the galaxy, orbiting a large gas giant. Almost all of its surface is covered by water, with the exception of a smattering of small volcanic islands and atolls.

According to Zernvik Akawoi, Sura Sindo was the site of Damasa Kovani's first mission as a Jedi Knight. Something went very wrong in the course of this mission (Damasa did not specify what, as the memory was clearly a source of great emotional trauma for her) and she frequently talked to Zernvik about wanting a second chance to do things right there. For this reason, Zernvik believes Damasa may have gone to Sura Sindo after she stopped responding to messages from the Jedi Council eight years ago.

The PCs found Sura Sindo's coordinates in fragmentary files taken from the Jedi Archives and stored on the Citadel. According to these files, the Jedi Council had standing orders to send a Jedi Knight to Sura Sindo every 50 years and report back on what they found there. The PCs erased this information after they downloaded it.

Sura Sindo appears to be largely uncivilized and uninhabited apart from Avernus, a settlement of a few hundred residents that has existed for a few hundred years on the moon's largest dry land mass (the crater of an extinct volcano). Avernus is an effectively lawless pirate outpost dominated by the Mechanics' Guild, a union of about 20 outlaw techs who make their living modifying spaceships in ways that are frowned upon by the galaxy at large. It is home to a diverse array of eccentric individuals including:
 * Curo Varnas, a Togruta who owns an open-air market renting out stalls to vendors (now an ally of Nomi Amersu)
 * Krune, a Quarren scavenger who spends his leisure time combing the beach for hallucinogenic oysters
 * Rik Randar, a human man who dresses like a weird hybrid of a pirate and a bureaucrat and claims to have lived in Avernus for 35 years
 * Sierra, a female-presenting clone trooper who holds a monopoly on public HoloNet access, which she rents out for exorbitant hourly fees in her cafe
 * Talanis, a female Chiss who is a leader in the Mechanics' Guild
 * Vocho, a young male Hutt who is the proprietor of a fancy hotel
 * A troupe of pit droids who put on acrobatic performances in the street; may or may not be in league with local pickpockets



Sura Sindo's waters are teeming with aquatic life, though there do not appear to be any animals larger than insects inhabiting the land masses. An intelligent octopus-like species known as the Sindonese lives in the ocean; according to Damasa, all of them are Force-sensitive to some degree. The PCs have gotten to know one Sindonese, Green Coral, fairly well. Somi Amersu also met another older one, Middle Current, who displayed aggressive behavior toward her and apparently has some training in Force powers including Foresee.
