Veridian Re-Settlement Camp 31 The Clone Wars & Clone Protocol 66 The current year for our homebrewed Clone Wars era campaign is set during 19 BBY. Inspired By George Lucas

Veridian re-settlement camp 31, aka "Shantytown", is a small settlement built on the planet Veridian during the reign of the Galactic Empire. The town is inhabited by farmers and generally for people who were just in the way who had been dispossessed of by the Empire, and were left living in poverty.

People that the Empire wanted out of the way or people who lived in areas of Capital City where the Empire was rebuilding Imperial structures and complexes.

Shantytown consists of a loose collection of buildings constructed on the plains of the planet Veridian. A number of moisture vaporators have been placed throughout the settlement and a central clear area acts as a town square.

Shantytown is home to impoverished farmers of many species whose homes, from other regions, were taken by the Galactic Empire when it needed the land they were built on. Any who attempted to fight back were arrested for treason, and the rest left with nothing but trying to stay alive in this settlement. The residents named their settlement Shantytown in an attempt to give the settlement meaning, if they were going to be forced to live here the least they could do is try to make the best of things.

Life is hard for the residents of Shantytown, food is hard to come by, those who still have jobs earn a meager living. None of the people living here are doing so by choice, the inhabitants of this town were forcibly relocated to this location. Any farmer whose land was taken was simply left with nothing, brought here and forgotten. Anyone who tried to fight back against the troopers was arrested or even killed.

Veridian re-settlement camp 31, commonly referred to as Shantytown, is a small settlement set up by the Empire to relocate those who were in need of exile from where ever they currently lived. The bulk of the residents are farmers whose land was taken by the Empire for strip-mining to feed the shipyards of Veridian. Left with few credits, many of these farmers ended up in this re-settlement camp having no other choice.

Little more than a cluster of shacks and makeshift dwellings, Shantytown is nonetheless home to a collection of beings without the resources to improve their station. These people would normally have just been "disposed of", luckily, not all in the higher Imperial ranks are comfortable with the wholesale slaughter of citizens. Shantytown was also left out of all Imperial-advertising, with the exception of the HoloNet. Outside sources secretly step in and help the people of this settlement with food, medical supplies and assist in improving structures in need of repairs but this is all done quietly and off the record. Once the majority of the people in need of relocation were sent to Shantytown, things settled down somewhat. The Devaronian crime lord Grevi D'Von has been seen in the settlement from time to time in the past, people assume he is using it as a base of sorts when he is on Veridian. Life is hard for these people, most are without a way to earn income, some are even borderline starving.

The main thing that keeps this settlement going is the outside aid that occassionally comes. A few that were able to keep what little money they had at the time of their relocation have opened shops or small businesses, most barely earn enough to keep the doors open.
