Quest of the Hero of Tatooine

Hero of Tatooine was the title given to a spacer who completed a series of five heroic acts on the planet of Tatooine, tasked to him by a unnamed hermit in the bottom of the Squill cave on the planet.

History
After battling his way to the bottom of the squill cave on Tatooine, a spacer met an odd old hermit living there. After talking to the hermit and making it very clear that he did not support the Empire, the hermit offered to send the spacer on a quest to prove his heroism on Tatooine. The spacer agreed and the hermit's first task was to find a squill skull which had belonged to the hermit within the cave. The spacer located the skull near the entrance of the cave and returned it to the hermit. After this test of loyalty, the hermit tasked the spacer with 4 more acts, one of intellect, of honor, of a;truism, and courage.

The first task, the mark of intellect, was to help a bounty hunter in one of the cities on Tatooine find her target, who was a smuggler. The spacer found the bounty hunter surrounded by 5 smugglers and their captain, trying desperately to figure out which was her target. After questioning all 6 smugglers and determining which one was the hunter's target, he told the hunter and was awarded with the Mark of Intellect.

The second task, the mark of honor, was to halt a conflict between a band of pirates and some nearby ranchers. The spacer located the pirate base and arrived to speak with their leader. The leader was unwilling to talk at first, but after a short fight, the pirate leader relented and told the spacer the reason he was warring with the ranchers is because they had captured some of his men. He pleaded with the spacer to free them, and promised if he did, he would leave the ranchers alone. The spacer arrived at the ranch and spoke to the rancher's wife, Helen Goldenfield. She asked the spacer if they would watch the pirates while she took a break. The spacer agreed and headed down to the basement and used an intercom to speak with the pirates. They pleaded with the spacer to release them, but the spacer refused and informed Helen of their plan to escape. The rancher, Roric Goldenfield, enters the house followed by two dark troopers and they take the pirates away. The spacer is then awarded with the Mark of Honor.

The third task, the mark of altruism, was to locate a moisture farmer in help near Mos Taike. He informs the spacer that his family is being held by a group calling themselves Sennex and pleads with the spacer to help free them. The spacer agrees and the farmers gives him the location of their hideout, a cave in the wilds of Tatooine. The spacer arrives at the cave, and after many battles against its inhabitants, finally locates the farmer's family, frees them and escorts them out of the cave. After doing so, he is awarded the Mark of Altruism.

The fourth and final task, the mark of courage, required the spacer to search the vast wilds of Tatooine for a wild bladeback boar and kill it. After searching far and wide for many days, the spacer finally located the illusive beast and put it down. On its corpse he found the Mark of Courage.

After completing all the tasks set before him, the spacer returned to the hermit in the squill cave. The hermit commended his efforts and declared him the Hero of Tatooine and gave him a unique sculpture, along with a special ring, which is said to be able to return the bearer to life if used just after death.
