Chekkoo clan

The Chekkoo clan was a Rodian clan on the planet Rodia. It controlled a part east to the Betu continent, allowing a number of minor clans—such as the Adebsu and Intamm—to habitat portions of their province in exchange for their loyalty.

Chekkoo was a powerful clan and was engaged in century-long wars, they became cautious and protected the lands around the Chekkoo Province from strangers. The Chekkoo maintain a small army of Protectors who patrolled on foot and air, and hunted any tresspassers; the lucky ones were captured and hauled to the Chekkoo Enclave for interrogation by the Chief Protector.

The Chekkoo clan was once powerful and dominated its province, claiming final judgment for the lands above the other allied clans. However as it was a major opponent to the ruling Chattza Clan, Navik the Red, Grand Protector of Rodia, isolated the province from trade, impoverishing the Chekkoo.

The Chekkoo traded with smugglers in order to survive. They also manufactured melee wapons of high quality that could compete modern ones, which they traded. The local Provincial government made deals with off-world entities such as Reena's Interstellar Shipping, with whom they attempted to replace their aged Power fence around the enclave.

The weakened clan could only mind their own business, staying within its own territory and avoiding direct confrontation against the ruling clan. However during the Galactic Civil War, a Chekkoo clan member with his band, attempted to hijack the Listing Dewback and its shipment of smuggled weapons, intended for an armed confrontation.
