Weapons of War: Mission 1 “Best Buy”
So in order to keep things straight, I’d like people to use @Sirella Valkner whenever you’re talking to an NPC. In addition because there are a fair amount of players if everyone could post at the top of their post where there character is I’d appreciate it. Example: If you’re at the Nexus Cantina that would become the header to your post. The following is the Briefs for each group involved. The Brief will include leads and NPCs and conditions for victories. Victories will be categorized as Major and Minor. Major victory will give you a leg up in the next mission, a minor victory less so. Obviously if the “enemy” factions wins a Major victory that is for you a defeat. It IS possible for both factions to have a minor victory.
The Republic Brief:
Leader: Darron Wraith, Jedi Master
The Republic has intercepted transmissions pertaining to new Sith Weapon systems. These weapons are said, in these messages, to be capable of changing the balance of power in the galaxy. Obviously the Republic cannot let this stand, and so sent an agent to acquire records supposedly from the project being sold by a rogue engineer, Ecole Prig. The buy was supposed to establish the engineers credibility, so we’d know he was on the up and up. The promise being that he be able to smuggle out more technologies, specifications, and reports.
The buy went bad. Its been three days. An all systems bulletin has gone up, engineer Ecole is now a fugitive, wanted by the Sith, and our agent has been reported killed. The data and knowledge that the engineer possessing could be vital to hindering Sith development.
Your Mission is to extract the engineer, or failing that retrieve the data he has stolen and send it safely to the republic for analyst. This is a covert operation and the political situation being what it is we need to tread carefully. We cannot afford a full blown firefight to claim the engineer, or other incidents like that, you must walk softly.
Leads:
Lianna Security: Lianna security has launched an investigation into the murder of our agent. Ecole Prig is the prime suspect. The Lianna security forces no doubt have records on the man. Perhaps they could be of help, unfortunately I doubt they will just hand them over.
Ecole Prigs Apartment: Lianna Security were all over it, but there is a chance something was left behind, something that normal security forces might have missed.
Sarra Trent: When our agent was doing basis reconnaissance and studying the potential source she reported that Sarra Trent and Ecole Prig were having something of an affair. Sarra Trent is married to Dr. Hol Trent. She may know where her lover is, or maybe she’s actively hiding him. It is worth investigating.
Start: You will start at a safehouse on Lianna. There the team will assemble and begin the mission.
Victory Conditions:
Extract the Ecole Prig for interrogation (10pts)
Obtain Sith Records (5pts)
Remain undetected (5pts)
Causing an incident (-1 pt per incident)
Victory Rewards:
First hand knowledge of the Project and layout of the labs + Other information you may use to your advantage in other missions (Major Republic Victory)
You get to find out what the Project actually is! And probably some other minor details (Minor Republic Victory)
Sith Empire Brief:
Leader: Velok, Sith Master
The Republic scum have infiltrated our planet. One of our engineers working on a secret project was attempting to sell information to the Republic. We found out of course, it would be foolish not to watch our people when they are assigned important tasks. However the operation was bungled. We managed to capture the Republic agent, but the engineer got away, and with the information.
The engineer was was Ecole Prig, we’d had him under surveillance. We’ve leaked reports the Lianna Security Bureau that Ecole had murdered the Republic agent. The full force of the local security forces are after the man, which should make our jobs easier. We can’t afford any political backlash here, so we’ll have to tread carefully and work around the locals. If they catch the man they will hand them over but I wouldn’t count on them catching him. He’s evaded them for this long.
Your mission is simple, eliminate Ecole Prig, recover or destroy the data and find any Republic dogs trying to get their hands on the information. I have complete trust in you, knowing how failure is treated in the Empire.
Leads:
Republic Imperial Sith Internal Security (ISIS) forces have captured a republic agent. She is refusing to break, and hasn’t even given up her name during a standard interrogation. She must know something.
Ecole Prigs Apartment: Lianna Security were all over it, but there is a chance something was left behind, something that normal security forces might have missed. They are after all incompetent.
Sarra Trent: The Sith Internal Security force keeps track of many men such as Ecole. He was a security risk and so we had him followed. Ecole made a cuckold of Dr. Hol Trent. Perhaps investigating his lover will lead us to him.
Start: Sith players will start in Sith Internal Security Offices. They have like... a staff, and hunched over dudes reading computer screens for them.
Victory Conditions:
Kill or Capture Ecole Prigs (10pts)
Prevent Sith Records from falling into enemy hands (5pts)
Find Republic Safe House (5pts)
Causing an incident (-1 pt per incident)
Victory Rewards:
Variable (Major Sith Victory)
Variable (Minor Sith Victory)
Neutral Brief:
You’ve heard through back channels that an engineer on Lianna was looking to sell Sith Secrets. This could be extremely profitable. The Sith and Republic are most likely scrambling, and you could easily find yourself to help or hinder their progress....
Start: Starport
Leads:
Pringo the Hutt: Pringo is a permanent fixture in the underworld on Lianna. If anyone is looking to sell information it reasons that Pringo's Palace would be their first stop.
Ecole Prigs Apartment: Lianna Security were all over it, but there is a chance something was left behind, something that normal security forces might have missed.
Sarra Trent: Your contacts on the planet have said that Sarra Trent had an affair with the Engineer Ecole Prigs. She might know where the man is.
