History

Origins

The Melewati Bushfighters originated on New Tython as colonists, taking up residence in the nearby deserts and lush forests dotting the vast landscape in the continent of Kamuekiko. Eventually, these settlers created two large settlements situated on the northern side of the continent. One such settlement is located in the deserts to the far north of Kamuekiko, and the far south of Owyhyee. The second of these settlements is located in the large, dense jungle terrain just south of their desert-dwelling kinsmen. Each of these groups have divided themselves up into two distinct families, The Forest Trekkers and The Sand Dwellers. Both groups have learned from nearby Harakoan Tribes how to use the land to their own advantage. The Melewati, as they are called have largely been dependant only to themselves, and their fellow Bushfighters, rarely seeking aid from outsiders. Because of their seclusion, they have become a strong, but small community that depend on their family members to hunt, gather supplies and barter with local Harakoan Tribes. Both locations employ a variety of Guerrilla Tactics that come from their knowledge of the land, and their strong ability to hunt. The main aspect distinguishing them from the Tribes is their use of modern technology, such as their use of sniper rifles.

Arrival of Odan-Urr

After the arrival of the first Acolytes of Odan-Urr, the Melewati grew suspicious as the House planted it's roots in New Tython. Due to their secluded nature, the Melewati shunned the Jedi, preferring to keep to themselves and respect their traditions. This created an uneasy tension between both the Melewati and Jedi of Odan-Urr. The 'Outsiders' as the Melewati called them had offered to form treaties and agreements with the Melewati, however these attempts had failed as the Melewati employed a variety of Guerrilla Tactics in an attempt to drive the 'Outsiders' away from New Tython, thus earning the name, Melewati Bushfighters. The Bushfighters' tactics including that of disrupting trade between the Jedi and surrounding Colonists by blocking trade routes of great importance. The Melewati Bushfighters had also resorted to using camoflauge to their advantage, hiding in dunes of sand or stalking their prey using the lush and dense forests to great advantage. They had also created a policy of making quick, powerful strikes when raiding places of importance, often dealing damage to infastructure or raiding supply and food stores. Eventually after months of conflict, the leaders of each family of Bushfighters had been called to an assembly, in which an agreement had been signed.
