- Group Sigil: Svaper
- Description: The Tanwa Goa-Ato is a chapter within the greater Goa-Ato guild. Tanwa hunters who wish to leave Rodia are sponsored by their chapter, which helps new hunters develop connections so they do not stumble blindly into the galaxy. Tanwa's current allies are the Hutts of the Bareesh Kajidic, who pay them well. The Tanwa hunters in turn utilize their vast wealth of expertise to assassinate and capture targets, or to bag exotic animals for the Kajidic. They have a chapter lodge on Nar Shaddaa.
SOCIAL INFORMATION
- Hierarchy:
Si'rin'ha - the best hunter in the Tanwa Goa-Ato. He has the final say in decisions. - Blooded - hunters who have at least one kill under their belt.
- Unblooded - hunters who have not yet killed off Rodia.
[*]Membership:
- Rodians from the Tanwa clan have to report to the chapter head - the Si'rin'ha - and apply for sponsorship from the Tanwa Goa-Ato. There may or may not be a test of skill depending on the hunter's reputation. If the Si'rin'ha is satisfied with their abilities, the hunter is allowed to join.
[*]Dogma/Doctrines:
- Honor: if a Rodian is repeatedly defeated by a quarry, then honor may demand self-sacrifice to wipe away the shame.
- Never hunt another member.
[*]Curios: Svaper Patches
[*]Goals: The Tanwa Goa-Ato competes with the other chapters every year and every year the kills are tallied. Awards, or Atiangs, are given to the chapter with the most kills, the chapter with the highest quality kills, and so on.
MEMBERS
Capo One-Eye: A Rodian who allegedly lost his eye hunting a Ghest,Capo One-Eye and his two brothers are famed hunters within the Tanwa clan. Capo himself has won the title of Supreme Hunter at the atiangs a number of times. He is a skilled shot with the long rifle and utilizes his enhanced cybernetic eye to great effect. He is the current si'rin'ha within the Tanwa Goa-Ato. Life expectancies as si'rin'ha are not long.
Pauul Farrlo (former PC): Once a spy for the Alliance, Pauul returned to his hunting roots. Getting a sponsorship from Capo enabled him to repair relations with the Hutts. The fast-talking hunter now continues his tale, hunting whatever will get him breakfast. He favors the SI-17 Pistol and his VT-Needler.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Tanwa Goa-Ato came about millennia ago, with the rise of the Goa-Ato under the Grand Protector Navik. After the devastation wreaked by the Yuuzhan Vong, and then the long dark spell of the Gulag Plague, wild animal life saw a resurgence in Rodia. Strange vong creations run amok amid the planet's already dangerous wildlife. The ghest population boomed, even one of the swamp demons enough to wipe out an entire village.
The resurgence meant Rodians once more returned to a heavy reliance upon the elite hunter-class to provide them with protection and food.
The current Tanwa Goa-Ato strives to heighten the skills of Tanwa hunter to better protect those at home and to send hunters out into the galaxy. Many of the hunters who leave Rodia also leave their families behind. The fortunes they earn in the galaxy often find their way back to these families.
