Torque

Torque ("Torqua-na" in Huttese) was a planet located within the Torque system of the Outer Rim Territories and the sector capital of the Gordian Reach. A lackluster industrial world, it was the headquarters of Bwahl the Hutt.

The planet served as an important commercial hub in the Gordian Reach, while its cities were known as one of the most busiest spaceports on the Junction-Tierell Loop hyperlane. Nevertheless most of its cities lacked the glitterness of other sector world capitals.

The capital city, Torque, is where our players begin their journey. The Upper Levels of Torque are home to the richest of the many species located on the planet. These people are mostly harmless diplomats, staying on Torque as a way to hopefully evade the Empire's grasp. Their efforts were in vain however, as months before the campaign starts, the empire sent two Imperial Star Destroyers to occupy the city, in an attempt to subjugate the planet. Bwahl the Hutt lives among the people of the Upper Levels. He controls the Zippheads, one of the major gangs located in the Lower Levels of Torque.

The Lower Levels of Torque are a dingy underworld. These people live in absolute squalor, fighting each other for scraps of food. Gangs are the main authority down here. The major gangs are the Zippheads, controlled by Bwahl the Hutt, and the Nights Dragons. Not much is known about these gangs, as most attempts to record their activities has resulted in the deaths of the reporter groups.
