Hunted: Enemies of the Empire OOC (Recruiting Closed)

[FreeXenon]

Good and very relevant questions max.

Escorting him wasn't the original part of the deal, right? We were here just to get information from him, and now he is changing 'the deal'.

Indeed he is, which is fine of course. More work for us! However, I'd hate to get Bata to his ship, watch him fly safely away and then realize we didn't have a ship of our own to escape the now irritated local garrison.

Your group has been living on Bespin for at least a short period of time. You were all very recently recruited by Zin through various intermediaries who told you basically what I posted in the background. Who these intermediaries are is not particularly important, although I'm sure FreeXenon has noted I took the liberty of incorporating some of Jinta's background into the current story. In general, your contact with any form of superior representing Zin has been brief and limited to pertinent details only.

You do not have access to a space transport. All you have is basically just your equipment and talent.

Once you get the information on the Senator, the next step will present itself. You were never told what to do with the information. In fact, none of you really know much about Zin or his organization at all, simply that he helps those who oppose the Empire, as long as they are willing to pay. Each of your characters needed jobs or felt the cause was worth supporting for whatever reason you want.

You are correct that escorting Bata was not part of the deal. You were just supposed to meet with him to get some information.

Ok, thanks.

A follow-up: if we've been on Bespin for a bit, what is the garrison level of the Empire here from what we've observed? Does the Empire have an overt presence here, or does Bespin maintain order with it's own security forces, without Empire "supervision."

Just trying to gauge what we know of the potential opposition, in light of Bata's new request for help.

Bespin is in the Outer Rim and doesn't really have much of an Empire presence to speak of. Most of the worlds on the OR, as far as I understand it, are not very tightly affiliated with the Empire, even if they are officially part of it. Bespin security forces are tight though, since they have to maintain a strong military to keep pirates from stealing their stores of Tibanna gas.

How many notable or semi-notable bounty hunters are present to our knowledge?

 

[airwalkrr]

Your characters are not particularly sure. You have all been keeping a fairly low profile, and since none of you have ranks in Knowledge (galactic lore), all you know are the basics about the area. It isn't as if Bespin is crawling with bounty hunters, but then again, some bounty hunters prefer to travel in disguise. Of course, it is in the Outer Rim, so there are likely to be more bounty hunters than you would find in the Mid Rim or Core areas. What it boils down to is that you cannot be certain, suffice it to say that there are probably at least a handful in the area.

Thanks for the answers (and patience with the questions). I swear they get less the longer the game goes. At the beginning I just like to make sure I understand the assumptions that are on both sides. Once we've been going a while then we all have in game knowledge to draw on for info.

 

[FreeXenon]

Max, thanks for running ahead of me. That's what I was hoping. I feel so much better now.

Hey, if you don't want to be in front - don't be a scout, eh?

Besides, I've noticed what a timid soul Jinta is.

edit: whoops, got my players and characters mixed up. Should have been joking about Trangle there, not Jinta. I'll get everyone straight shortly. I hope.
