[edit] Details
The Tarquinas community has a "band of brothers" kind of feel. Newer players can receive help with various tasks too dangerous to handle alone or receive help with crafting, questing and other aspects of the SWG life. Our friendly entertainers are there to give buffs and chat with. A slowly rising roleplaying community and plenty of vendors to suit your needs. Exotic getaways from the hustle and bustle of the city can be found all around the galaxy, from the remote highland ring on Lok, to the peaceful town of East Crystal Oasis on Dantooine, see the "places to visit" list for the ultimate vacation experience, where all your needs can be met.

[edit] Name Origin
A Lambda-class shuttle named Tarquinas was believed to have been assigned to the first Death Star's contingent of starships.
[edit] Free Character Transfer
As of 1/13/2009, the first day of the Free Character Transfer, the Tarquinas Server players began the process of becoming "Fugitives" by transferring to one of several more populated servers. Thus began the diaspora from Tarquinas. Like Most "fugitives" from all over Star Wars Galaxies most transfered players went to the Starsider Galaxy. There Is a Tarquinas character transfer list that is in the making, to locate the Previous Tarquinas Players.
[edit] Rebirth
However, as of 2/10/2009, Amaranth, Seriw Freedust, Ryph Blackfeather and Duval Taylor have begun the process of reviving the Tarquinas server. Mostly being a community of helpers for new players, and focusing on a roleplay-style, but with many opportunities for non-roleplayers alike. Their base of operations will be set at Nova Orion Station, with a Development Facility and Factory to be placed on an unannounced planet. They offer a wide range of employment, with soon-to-be implemented full pay for employees. The system will be based with members coming to either Amaranth - Station Owner, Seriw Freedust - Station Manager, or their job's supervisor. All types of people have opportunities, Engineers, Architects, Shipwrights, Entertainers, Medics, and many more opportunities, including joining Nova Orion Industries' very own Security Force, the NOSF (Nova Orion Security Force) complete with ranks.
The system will be great for new players, offering a decent source of side-income, and a possibility of endless Experience. To apply for the community, or for questions, contact Amaranth on the Tarquinas server.
