A Hutt in the Pocket is Worth...
The party of Rebel Spec
Ops nearing the Fakir Sector, send out a communication placing a coded want ad,
so they may get orders telling them where to go to meet up. They are directed to
Celanon where they are greeted by a Twi-Lek and two Gamorreans. The Twi-Lek
tells them that he was sent here by his master, the mighty Jorbassha the Hutt.
He leads them towards one of Jorbassha's businesses, a nightclub called the
Rancor's nest.
On the way, they are jumped by several goons and a Defel
enforcer working for Jorbassha's rival, a Defel crime boss named Sariss. They
manage to fight them off and make it to the club. Once there, they are greeted
by Jorbassha who informs them that he is in fact their contact here. He is not a
member of the rebellion, but does owe a rebel a favor, and in hopes to clear it
away quickly has agreed to help them.
He informs them that he can point them
to the Rebel Command in the sector but first offers them a deal too good to pass
up. His rival Sariss has been dealing with Imperial Moff Phyryuss, who controls
the sector. He has been trading slaves for Imperial grade weapons and equipment
for his thugs. Jorbassha would like this latest shipment to have an unfortunate
accident. He doesn't care what they do with the slaves or the weapons and
suggests that they could free the slaves and keep the weapons as an added
enticement to get the group to go along.
The deal is supposed to go down on
Zirtran's Anchor, a space station in Fakir sector. The party agrees and heads off
to the station. When they arrive and dock, they find the deal is already going
down between a Barloz freighter named the Blacklight and an Imperial Armored
Transport.
They manage to make short work of the Imperials and Sariss' thugs,
and take both ships. Amanda, aboard the slave ship notices that all the slaves
are in cryo tubes, and all of them are aliens. Not one is human. They head for
the Black Widow Nebula near Arcan, when they're suppose to meet up with the
small Rebel fleet here.
