Description:
In the 19th Century, European Colonizers would use non-European collaborators to help pacify and/or assimilate non-European cultures into their Empires.

The European Colonizers and the non-European target for colonization might have major linguistic and cultural differences making dialogue between the two groups almost impossible, but by taking a non-European collaborator of the Europeans and using them as an intermediary between the two groups the non-European group might become more suspectable to the Europeans through the use of the non-European collaborator who is closer to the non-European group than they are to the Europeans.

A random example of this might be the Italians using the Arabs to help them colonize the Somalis. The Italians want to colonize Somalia but they do not speak Somali and aren't at all culturally similar, whereas the Somalis would more than likely know Arabic and would be more culturally similar to Arabs so using Arabs to help Italians colonize the Somalis would be a viable tactic.

This concept of wanting to colonize a group that is different from you so you instead use a culturally similar group to make it easier for you to colonize the original group is central to this mod.

On Manaan, the Sith Empire is secretly training Selkath youths into becoming Dark Jedi and Sith Agents to one day stage a coup against the Manaan government to take over their planet and exploit their precious resources. Similar to the real life example above the same hurdles that applied to Europeans and non-Europeans still apply to the Sith in this scenario.

The Sith Empire is predominantly human and are shown to be quite racist to non-human species throughout the game. The Selkath are an aquatic alien species so not only is there a differing alien culture the Sith have to deal with but the Selkath primarily live underwater.

The leader behind this Sith plot to train Selkath youth is a human Sith Master who appears as a generic Sith Master in-game. This mod changes this NPC so that the Sith Master is now an alien Quarren, another aquatic alien species.

With this mod installed, it makes much more sense as to why the Sith are trying to train and convert Selkath youth to the Sith when the mastermind behind this plot is a fellow aquatic alien who would be much more culturally similar to his Selkath students and would be a much easier leader for the Selkath to blindly follow despite this master serving an empire that would be racist towards them all.

Known Bugs:
This mod shouldn't have any bugs but if you find any please feel free to report them on Deadlystream.com.

A third install was planned but could not be implemented due to a bizarre bug. The third option was a version of the vanilla dialogue which had an AI filter over it to make it sound like the Quarren from Kotor II (this same method was used in the ROR mod for the Quarren Jedi Master). This could not be added as the VO in-game would be sped up with the pitch increased for reasons unknown to me. This install has been included in the mod but cannot currently be installed, when this bug can be fixed I will add the ability to install it.

Permissions:
Do NOT claim credit for this mod and do not use assets from this mod without my permission.

The textures for this mod comes from Quanon's Big Sellout, a modder's resource that was published on LucasForums back in the day. These are the same textures that are used in Quanon's Sith Quarren PC mod found on NexusMods.

As these textures came from Quanon's Big Sellout, they can be used in your mod though I strongly advise you credit Quanon as the original artist and acknowledge Quanon's Big Sellout to avoid people thinking you stole it from the Sith Quarren PC mod.

Thanks to:
Quanon: For making the original textures and including it in your Big Sellout modder's resource!
Marius Fett: For fixing the Death Field animation bug which projected the lightning from his feet instead of his hands!
ElevenLabs Website: For the custom AI VO service!
Bioware: For such an amazing game!
