THE COMMERCE GUILD HAS ITS SIGHTS SET ON WOOSTRI
And it sees the skeleton of a titan: the Great HoloScan Database.
The Database once ran for kilometers across Woostri's surface, coiled there like a guardian serpent. But the centuries have not been kind. Large sections of the massive structure have collapsed in on themselves from any mixture of natural and unnatural calamities: terrorism, structural failure, rising sea levels, and so on. After centuries of mismanagement, there are now supposedly only three isolated segments said to still be in a "fixable" or "habitable" state.
The planetary administration maintains that any attempts to recover, repair, scavenge, or even access lost segments must be cleared through them. In reality, their ability to enforce this is exceptionally limited. The Commerce Guild has made its own accord with the woostoids regarding one of the segments, among other things.
But maybe you don't care about that. Guild or not, the remaining segments are ripe for looting - if you can get past the current lineup of unfriendly occupants. Troves of historical and technical data wait to be harvested by enterprising adventurers, to say nothing of the priceless artifacts the woostoids once collected in the name of "cultural preservation."
Are you going to do anything about it?

THE DATABASE SEGMENTS
The HoloScan Database might be a husk of itself, but there's still plenty of value that can be scraped from it. In addition to troves of valuable schematics and historical records, there are rumors of valuable artifacts collected from across the galaxy that the woostoids once curated.
Segment Blue: An ailing segment which spans the length of Gopsthal's urban sprawl. Some outer pockets are even still serviceable. Segment Blue contains collections on droid engineering, industrial automation, and artificial intelligence, among other things. Maybe that's why the inner recesses are actually occupied by a cell of Vixani March - murderous droids.
The Commerce Guild has exclusive, contractual rights to scavenge Segment Blue. But don't let that stop you...
Segment Green: A rusted-out segment, one end surrounded by jungle with the other collapsing into the sea. Segment Green catalogued research into medicine and agriculture. At some point it became infested by a growing swarm of rakghouls. The rogue mystic rumored to be responsible for the infestation is said to still reside in the segment, but the few brave enough to try and find out never came back.
Segment Red: A desiccated segment which cuts through an arid, winding canyon. Segment Red was once the site of extensive weapons research and catalogues of armaments. Segment Red is currently marked by shanty towns belonging to esoteric machine cults, led by an immobile and supposedly oracular cyborg. They are not outright hostile, but do consider attempts to prospect Segment Red a blasphemous act, punishable with violence.
