The Story Behind: Concord Dawn
[tag disabled]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVI_B8AWI5Q[/youtube]
Concord dawn is a dry and arid world inhabited primarily by farmers for hundreds of years. The only thing that makes Concord Dawn different than Dantooine or Tatooine is that all of those farmers had been, for hundred of years, Mandalorian. Concord Dawn began as one of the first colonies after Mandalore itself was founded. The Mandalorians found the planet a challenge for its sheer inhospitality. Indeed, there is a virus on the planet, the Karatos Plague, deadly to any who are not inoculated. The Mandalorians were able to survive this disease, which kills in under and hour, and were the first to devise the vaccination. Since then, the world has been almost purely Mandalorian, as no other sentient could ever come to the world and survive, except those who were trusted with the inoculation by the Mandalorians. Indeed, there is a saying in the galaxy to one who is very trustworthy “You could walk the Concord Dawn.”
Since the Mandalorian Last Crusade; however, the Mandalorians were forced to give a sample of their inoculation to the Republic’s medicinal researchers, and their planet was turned into a mass farming camp whose proceeds were Republic Reparations. A small band of rogue Mandalorians, calling themselves the Karatos Crusade, have begun to rise up, with the simple goal of finding and stealing back the Republic’s sample of the inoculation, so that they may again be free of these intruders. They do not know of the recent rise of Mandalore, nor he of them.
