The Brell Sediment refers to a large area of Tarisian ruins dominated by a massive acidic lake and a former chemical plant. Brejik’s Run has had many occupants over the centuries, as its large overhangs make good shelter from the harsh elements, but it currently hosts a Republic settlement and outpost–one of the earliest attempts to tame and rebuild Taris. The remains of an old swoop track, Brejik’s Run is named for Milos Brejik, a famous Tarisian swoop racer who turned scavenger after the destruction of Taris, using his swoop skills to quickly forage and deliver supplies to the few unfortunate survivors of the bombardment. Early reports speak of fierce resistance from the Republic, as well as natural hazards in the form of wildlife and the mysterious “rakghoul plague.” In response, the Empire is mobilizing troops and beginning a full-scale assault. The Republic began to recolonize Taris less than a decade ago, aiming to make it into a symbol of Republic hope and steadfastness. The years since have not been kind to Taris, as vegetation and animal life struggle to gain a foothold in shattered skyscrapers and habitats. Three centuries ago, however, it was bombarded by the great Darth Malak and left a toxic ruin. Taris was once a city-world, home to a planetary metropolis. Nonetheless, the reconstruction effort continues, its proponents determined to prove that the Empire can never truly destroy greatness.
