[L21-Shiva IV-NR] Uncovering the Path to Peace

When reports began to come in of first the terrorist Red Moons and then the burgeoning Ashlon Empire operating on the warlike planet of Shiva IV, the New Republic looked to send their best agent to convince the planet to join the fledgling galactic government. He was not available.

So instead, Bulvik Vul the Shistavanen set out to negotiate peace on a planet that had never known it. After crashing his ship into a mountain, the brave - if not entirely competent - Wolfman set out for a long and hazardous speeder ride across the blasted Drylands in his trusty Airbike. 

And Bulvik was determined to succeed. Had he done the research? Did he know the culture, the language, had he learned even to stomach the local delicacy of stewed fl’u’kuh eyestalks? Absolutely not. But he had adopted the traditional dress. Which was to say, as little clothing as possible. The button-pushers back on Hosnian Prime might not like it, but, as the saying went, “When in Shiva, do as the Shivans do.”

Of course, Bulvik had no idea that this was the traditional Shivan dress. But a guy has to get lucky now and then.
