As the PC Consular's former master quit the Order to join the Sith, this character could prove to be a new master for the PC, especially after his current padawan gets shanked trying to protect the PC, LOL.We can have several conversion attempts made post-botched assassinations: 1) Trago could offer to see that all charges against him are dropped if he places the blame on the Guardian (who fled) and Lt. Talnar of the Republic (who disappeared). This kills two birds with one stone, binding the Consular to him, and shifting blame onto the Republic, which gathers sympathy for his anti-Republic crusade. He offers to make the Consular his new apprentice as his old one, Vron Marr, abandoned him (he's currently with the Guardian). "Think of the opportunity! I am the Council. You would be my right hand, and a Master yourself in time. I can make you a Jedi Knight virtually overnight! Together, we can save the Order from its enemies and preserve the Jedi for generations to come."   2) Darth Omara, his former master turned Sith traitor, can send an offer through her spies on Dantooine: "Now you see the corruption and folly of the Jedi! I know you are innocent, yet they are too blind to see. The fools! Trago will kill you. You must join with me; I forgive you your past transgressions; you were but a puppet to the Council then. Now, you are strong enough to see through their lies. Join with me and I can complete your training! I have resources now I never had in the Order. I always recognized your potential, without me, you would have nothing, be nothing. Through me, ultimate power can be yours. In exchange for your allegiance, I offer you the opportunity to gain your revenge against Trago! Together, we can strike him down! Together, we can end this destructive conflict and restore order to the galaxy! Your destiny is at my side as it has always been..."Meanwhile, the ex-Sith Security Service agent, "Captain" Rennick (whom the Consular captured, then freed and handsomely rewarded to make up for destroying his starship) offers to aid the rest of the party in obtaining evidence against Trago to help clear their names. Also, to obtain evidence about the nature of the Force-Droid prototypes. No guarantees of success, but he believes the information can be found in the Sith Security Service Central Computer... on Korriban! So they just need to infiltrate one of the most closely guarded installations in Sith space. Rennick demands a high price for his assistance, successful or not, which I assume (oops) the party will agree to, not having any other ideas.Now, I'm not sure whether Rennick is really an ex-SSS operative (for his failure to recapture the Force Droids) or whether the PCs merely THINK he will be killed if he returns to the SSS and therefore is now suddenly "neutral." If the former, then taking down Trago might be just the ticket he needs to get back into his organization's good graces. If the latter, then the SSS still benefits from his actions (he appears to be a rogue agent to the Jedi, making his operations outside Sith space easier and putting him on good terms with Jedi, LOL). He might even be able to infiltrate Republic Intelligence as a double agent for the Sith. There are a lot of possibilities with this NPC I never saw before (because I thought he was just a minor one-shot villain destined to be killed, but the players seem to want it otherwise, LOL). Another option is to have Vron Marr, Trago's former apprentice, offer to help them destroy Trago out of revenge/fear. He knows if Trago does not die, he's as good as dead, so it's in his best interest to help. Although he will still demand a high price for his aid...</blockquote>
