Quest of the Hero of Tatooine

The Quest of the Hero of Tatooine was a set of tasks set upon an anonymous spacer by an old Rodian hermit living in a squill-infested cave on the planet Tatooine during the Galactic Civil War in 1 ABY. The hermit met the spacer while they were exploring his cave home, and struck up a conversation with the adventurer. The hermit told the spacer that if they completed the tasks he gave them, then he would declare them a Hero of Tatooine. The tasks would display the qualities required of heroism. The qualities were intellect, honor, courage, and altruism.

The task of intellect required the spacer to locate a bounty hunter within one of the cities on Tatooine and assist her in locating her target. The honorable task had the spacer locating a married couple of ranchers and ensuring that the pirates they captured were brought to justice. The task of courage required the spacer to locate a wild bladeback boar and end its terrorizing of the citizens of Tatooine. The final task, of altruism, had the spacer assisting a poor moisture farmer in rescuing his family from a criminal organization known as the Sennex. After completing these tasks, the hermit declared the spacer the Hero of Tatooine and rewarded them with the Mark of the Hero.
