Research Camp

A Research Camp located in the wilderness of the planet Kashyyyk was used by a group of researchers during the Galactic Civil War. The camp was eventually destroyed by the Canopy bandits and the scientists were assassinated.
==Description==
The camp was located in the region of Kachirho, north of the city, on the planet Kashyyyk. It consisted of several rather primitive tents made from wood from the surrounding forest and brown tarpaulin. The camp was set up by a group of researchers came to the Wookiee homeworld to study the local flora. The researchers used a radio to communicate with other scientists based off-world.
==History==
The research camp was built by a group of scientists, including Jillian, Bathoz and Rengar, after the Battle of Yavin. Although they knew that Kashyyyk could be a unsafe place, they decided to study the local plant life.
In 1 ABY, the dangerous Canopy bandits attacked the camp, abducted the researchers and destroyed the camp.
When a spacer came upon the camp not long after the attack, he found it ravaged and deserted. While investigating the camp site, the spacer heard a plea for help over the radio. It came from another researcher, Lisum, who was trying to contact his friends. The spacer promised to help Lisum uncover the researchers' fate. The word "Canopy" could be found scratched on a drum with blood. Lisum concluded that his friends had been taken by the Canopy bandits. He asked the spacer to travel to the bandits' camp and search for the missing researchers. The spacer returned with bad news — all of Lisum's friends had been killed. Enraged, Lisum asked the spacer to kill the bandits and promised the contents of a sealed box left behind in the destroyed camp as a reward. When the spacer returned successfully from this attack on the Canopy bandits, Lisum revealed the code and the spacer retrieved a Jawa ion pistol from the safe box.
Around the same time, a spacer found a Corestrike Rancor carbine in the ruined camp.
==Behind the scenes==
The Research Camp appeared in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts, prior to its closure on December 15, 2011. The Research Camp was added to the game with the release of the expansion pack Rage of the Wookiees on May 5, 2005.
