Game Characters:
Falco is a lifelong soldier who has fought with honor and duty without ever being truly rewarded for his efforts. When Falco won the assignment to Pandora, it was like hitting the jackpot. Second only to Colonel Quaritch in the RDA command structure, Falco aims to skim whatever he can from a planet teeming with abundance. Standing in the way of this, of course, are the Na’vi. Falco embodies “might makes right,” believing a bigger AMP Suit grants him moral authority. Control the planet, you control its wealth.
In spite of her assignment to research methods to make the atmosphere breathable for humans, Kendra became enamored of the planet’s ecosystem and its myriad of riches. Eventually, Kendra undergoes a profound change: she begins to understand the true nature of the conflict between Corp and the Na’vi, a conflict that sees both sides unwilling to reach a place of peaceful co‐existence. Kendra is soon forced to walk the fine line between her own personal survival and the survival of her lifelong ideals. In the end, she chooses to side with the one thing that has come to matter the most to her: the planet Pandora itself.
Nearly ten years into his mission, Harper has proven a pe asp o e his worth as a top notch Xenolinguist in the Avatar Program. Specializing in the primitive language of the moon’s native inhabitants, his primary mandate is to accelerate the Na’vi’s understanding of Earth‐based languages, thus minimizing unwanted misunderstanding between the two cultures. Harper was instrumental in the formation of the Na’vi school and was one of the core instructors in educating the Na’vi on human language and customs.
Beyda’amo is a powerful and respected Na’vi warrior whose grim persona and stern leadership have earned him a place of high regard within the Hadamaya. In addition to his formidable talents as a warrior and his uncompromising leadership skills, Beyda’amo is also a master Banshee rider, unrivaled among the People for adeptness on his airborne mount. He wears the scars from wounds delivered by a Pandoran beast across his body like a badge of honor. Beyda’amo’s actions represent a long dormant ideology in the Na’vi culture; a war‐like creed awoken by the human incursion into their lands. The homeland must be defended. Now is the time to fight.
Tan Jala is a senior member the Hadamaya Clan, a warrior known for his wise words and honest perspective. Soon, the humans’ affronts to the land become impossible for Tan Jala to ignore or excuse. While he understood the frustration of warriors like Beyda’amo, he knows there is still much to be gained by a peaceful bond with the Sky People. Tan Jala believes in reaching out with an open hand to the humans rather than striking out with a fist. Peace and harmony are the way of the Na’vi.

Creatures:
Pandora’s top jungle predator, the Thanator is the perfect combination of agility, speed, and raw power. Getting anywhere near its powerful teeth and claws is an experience few have been able to survive. The Thanator can detect prey from miles away, so don’t expect that you’ll be able to avoid or surprise one if it lies in your path. Even the Na’vi, known for their courage and communion with their natural environment, have little else to say but warnings about the might of the Thanator.
Viperwolves, although not the largest beasts on Pandora, can be quite a lot to handle when they attack in packs, or at night, when they’re out on hunting sorties. Certain varieties of viperwolves have the ability to fully camouflage themselves in their surroundings, making them nearly impossible to detect and defend against.
This massive, grazing creature travels in small herds or packs. It is moderately social, but also extremely territorial and hierarchical. Constant threat displays, both visible and audible, are a large part of the titanothere’s day. Whem angered (which happens easily and often), a titanothere will lower its head and charge at the perceived threat. The sheer momentum and ferocity of this display is usually enough to send any Pandoran creature running for cover.
Vhiecles:
The Amplified Mobility Platform, or AMP Suit, despite its significant bulk and stature (it stands nearly 4 meters, or 13 feet tall), is surprisingly nimble in combat. Controlled through gesture recognition by the pilot safely housed in the torso cockpit, the AMP Suit wields a powerful swivel GAU‐90 rotary cannon. This combination of deadly ordnance and ground shuddering power, makes the AMP Suit one of the most feared opponents of the Na’vi.
The Samson Transport is truly the workhorse of the RDA fleet on Pandora. Its independent tilt‐rotors can stabilize heavy troop and armament loads while maintaining a high degree of manoeuvrability in order to avoid any unwanted attention. The Samson can be rigged with a variety of hull or skid‐mounted artillery when outfitting for missions into unknown or Na’vi controlled territory.
In the thick of the jungle and the vast expanse of the plains on Pandora, you’ll be thankful that you left Hell’s Gate with nothing but the best equipment on six wheels: The Swan. This all‐terrain Ground Assault Vehicle (GAV) is built to take a bump, with its permalloy armor, and deliver a crushing blow to anything in its path, with four turretmounted sixty millimeter rotary cannons.
The mountain banshee (like its smaller cousin, the forest banshee) is highly adapted for flight. Its bones are hollow and air‐filled. Specially developed muscles attached to the breastbone allow for the powerful strokes needed to achieve lift. Its torso is stiffened by fused backbones that provide support for the wings.
