History

The Quacka made contact with galactic society 4000 years before The Battle of Yavin, by which time they had already developed inter-system starship travel.  The first contact was not easy.  A group of Jedi had followed hyperspace co-ordinates left by a Republic Scout which claimed to lead to a lost sanctuary moon belonging to the infamous Xim the Despot.  The Jedi were in a race against a Hutt cartel who wanted to find Xims hidden treasure.  The Jedi made first contact with the Quacka, not knowing that the Hutts had beat them to it.  The Hutts had convinced the Quacka that the Jedi were their enemy and were not to be trusted.  The Jedi were taken to Pondula III where they were tried as war criminals and sentenced to be executed.  The Jedi promptly escaped their captors and pursued the Hutts.  There was indeed a small fortress belonging to Xim, but it was well guarded by ancient, yet still working and dangerous, war droids.  The treasure should belong to the Quacka people, after all, this was their space, but the Hutts were going to steal it.  The Jedi were able to reveal the Hutts deception and make peace with the Quacka.  Soon after Republic diplomats arrived on Pondula III and the system was soon a part of the Galactic Republic.

Through the centuries Pondula II has been ruled by an elected President, but things would soon change as the Empire rose to power.  It was during the start of the Clone Wars that a corrupt official managed to manipulate events so that he himself would become President.  President Darktail, a student of the Dark Side seemed to mimic the events on Coruscant.  Darktail convinced the people that the Republic was their enemy, and Pondula III joined the Separatists.  It was Darktail that would be his own downfall.  The Clone Wars spilled out across the galaxy and soon reached The Big Drink.  The Jedi were determined to remove Darktail from power, but the conflict was not an easy on and the fighting spread sending the whole sector into civil war.  Darktail disappeared, believed dead, but The Big Drink was in  ruin.  There was no formal government and criminal organisations had soon crept into the system.  These criminal syndicates fought amongst themselves for control of the system.  The Big Drink was a lawless area of space.  Then the Emperor came to power.  A local Imperial governor was assigned and tasked with putting together some form of local government, answerable the Empire or course.  By now there were only two real criminal syndicates left in the sector, Big Bill's and the Nok Syndicate.  Which brings us up to the present day.

Big Bill runs Pondula III, unofficially.  The local Imperial Governor is still struggling to put together any real form of government.  He's asked for assistance but The Big Drink has been forgotten and the Empire has no need for the backwater sector.
