Chapter Ten - A Plague of LiesThe hunters are sent on a simple job to find the notorious con artist Huff the Fish on a backwater smuggler's world.  But complications mount when the hunters are contacted by their old patrons the Lurrians, who want to use the job as cover for a highly illegal mission to retrieve a rebel agent from a world in a warzone, behind an Imperial blockade, while a raging plague is going on after the release of dangerous bioweapons.Chapter Eleven - Slaves of the Sith LordThe hunters are hired as Marshalls on a new opened lumber world following a series of mysterious disappearances including the local Marshalls who were investigating the case.  But what secrets does this world hide and is this a simple case of a serial killer or does something far more sinister to be found in the city of wraiths?  Chapter Twelve - A Corrupted FleshThe hunters are sent to the sector Capital to find the illegal cyberneticist behind the creation of decrainated - one of the most horrifying crimes in the civilized world - the discovery of which has been an embarrassment to the Moff and the local Prefect who fear rioting mobs and protesters against the local security.  But with seemingly everyone trying to stop the hunters from finding out the truth, how can they possibly find one person in an ecumenopolis containing hundreds of billions?</blockquote>
