Star Wars: Outer Rim Blues

*stuff goes here*

"Who in their right mind would transport even a single krayt dragon across interstellar space?"
- Pash, seasoned smuggler

In the remote Outer Rim Territories. a band of smugglers and fringers work to escape debts owed to the ruthless gangster, Borgio the Hutt Summoned to the planet Tatooine, they are given a chance to loosen his grip by flying an unusual smuggling run. First, they must withstand the darkening underworld and the might of the New Republic.

VaporStation- once a small community of failing moisture harvesters. now a tiny community of thieves and thugs working for Borgio the Hutt. Vapor Station lies at the juncture where a narrow, steep stone canyon forks into two smaller crevasses. Crumbling clay structures dot the dry canyon bed. with a few fronting natural caves in the walls above. With the canyon floor too narrow and rocky for even small starshtps to land, a docking bay lies near the canyon rim. A rough, steep switchback path ties the landing bay to the valley floor far below.

You stand in front of a dilapidated clay storage building on the valley floor. where the smaller crevasses join the main canyon. Your ship IS in the docking bay above. Before you is a heavily scarred Rodian big game hunter called Jora. He is Borgio the Hutt's local mouthpiece.

To either side of Jora are two battered. but reinforced. metal crates. One IS roughly a one-meter cube, fully enclosed. with a top covered by an array of blinking lights and read- outs The other is much larger. two meters by three meters by two meters htgh. It has open slats at the top and upper sides. but the interior is too dark to make out in the harsh Tatooine sunlight. Each rests on a hovenng repulsorsled.

Jora wastes no time with pleasantries. “So, you're Borgio’s new smugglers. eh? I can't believe Borgio is risking this job on you. but that's not my problem Your job is simple enough. Take these two crates to him on Nar Shaddaa within four days. They are to arrive intact. The smaller one holds a pair of krayt dragon eggs inside an incubator. I hope you're good with machines. It's a bit temperamental.

"That larger box holds the bigger prize. A real live young krayt dragon I captured a few days ago I've got it sedated. You'll need to keep it that way. This medpac holds enough sedative for a week. far more than you'll need. It takes one dose every twelve hours. There are also enough liquid nutrition bags in here to keep it alive. You'll have to switch out the bags every eight hours. Just hook them up to the dispenser behind the small door at the rear of the crate.

"Now. this datapad holds directions to Greentop. That's Sinasu's docking tower on Nar Shadda, Don't lose it. A Mon Calama named Lanni will meet you to pick up the crates on arrival.

There is one complication. We had forgeries of-the permits to legally transport these creatures in Republic space. The bureaucracy issued new forms a week ago. and we don't have them. This chip holds an old form forgery. but it likely won't hold up under scruttny now. Try to avoid using it.
