Sentients for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
"Living things are not ours to experiment on, eat, wear, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way."

The Sentients for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is a radical group of sentients who believe non-sentient lifeforms should be given better treatment and rights. They are often seen as terrorists due to the drastic actions they take to accomplish their goals. They often are in conflict with the Hutt Cartel which is notorious for caging beasts for fighting, war, and entertainment. Other opposition are companies that test products on animals, slaughterhouses, non-free-range ranches, and anyone else that uses animals harshly for labor or profit. The group pulls members from many walks of life and backgrounds.

The group was started by Plex Chelco and Egrod Pawick. They were passionate vegans and animal lovers who were disturbed by the Hutt treatment of their bests during their work in Hutt Space. They felt the need to free them and any other creature being used unethically. The pair became known for their radical moves against criminals and loud protests in front of factories all over the galaxy. Originally, the group was fairly non-violent. They only took actions against blatant criminals and otherwise protested when no laws were being broken. Some mischief occurred here or there where the founders would spend a few nights in jail, but nothing extreme.
Three decades after its founding, both of the founders were killed while trying to rescue some Rancors from a Hutt Compound. They were successful in freeing the creatures unseen by the cartel forces and escaped in a freighter to take the Rancors to a better, natural habitat. Their ship was found a few weeks later with only a pair of Rancors left inside. Without their guiding hand, the group was allowed to become more and more radical over the next few decades.
One hundred years following the founders' deaths, SETA became known as a violent, radical group that would burn down factories while freeing animals, murder farmers to free their cattle, and openly fight meat eaters in restaurants.

There is no real structure behind this group at first glance, but they have to be organized to accomplish any of their goals. The group has three ranks plus its leader.
Master - Guides the group as a whole. This person must be elected by the council of Vegans.
Vegan - A high ranking member eligible for leadership. They sit on the council and make major decisions for the group.
Vegetarian - A standard member rank for those who are vetted and have dedicated to SETA.
Animal Lover - New Member Rank. This is a person who still must prove themselves. Even if they are a vegan/vegetarian by diet, they are marked as this until they prove true dedication to the cause.

Intent
To create a group that is unique and fun to write about/with. It is referenced in a Hutt writeup and it needs to exist. It exists as opposition to Hutts that are not fellow crime lords or law enforcement. It also makes waves elsewhere by being against any animal abuse. A good background lore or even faction to write as.
