Edge of the Empire Book

(Joyce) #1

Episode 2: Wookiees are Trouble. One of the
rescued slaves is a Wookiee who convinces the
Player Characters he is wealthy. He hires them to
rescue his family from Kashyyyk. Afterwards, the
Player Characters go to Kwenn Space Station to
reunite the family. They find the Wookiee is gone,
taken by bounty hunters to Nar Shaddaa. The
Player Characters follow and clash with the Hutt
crime lord to free the Wookiee. They eventually
escape, taking the Wookiee back to Kwenn Space
Station.


Episode 3: On the Run. The Hutt (or his asso-
ciates if he didn't survive) puts a bounty on the
Player Characters' heads. They are attacked at
Kwenn or another location. If they defeat their at-
tackers, they escape. If not, they are taken and
held for transport to the Hutt. The Player Charac-
ters find their pursuers are persistent, and must
deal with unexpected attacks for a time.


Episode 4: Hutt Showdown. The Player Char-
acters discover ways they might get their boun-
ties removed, such as paying off, eliminating, or
blackmailing the Hutt. They obtain the cash or
information for blackmail, or plan to shut down
his slave operation. They seek him out and set up
a showdown on their own terms. They discover
he also has a Hutt bounty on him. If they capture
him and turn him over to the right Hutt, they cash
in and disable the network.


Sample Campaign Flowchart / Tree Outline:
See below for the campaign tree. This tree builds off
of the linear campaign above, and adds the following
possible adventures:


  • Episode 1A: Trandoshan Guests. If the
    Trandoshans capture the Player Characters in
    Episode 1, the Player Characters are held and
    taken to a remote world. The Trandoshans land
    and use their ship to host an auction. The Play-
    er Characters get another opportunity to stage
    an escape during the auction. If they succeed,
    they may try to take the Trandoshan ship, or
    one of the buyer's vessels.

  • Episode 2A: The Depths of Nar Shaddaa. If the
    Player Characters fail to free the Wookiee, they learn
    he has been moved to a prison in the lowest levels
    of Nar Shaddaa. The Player Characters must brave
    criminals, creatures, and worse to break him out.

  • Episode 4A: Hutt Revenge. If they fail to capture
    or kill the Hutt, the Player Characters find the boun-
    ties have doubled. They are constantly harassed by
    bounty hunters. Criminals won't deal with them and
    even friends fear being seen with them. They must
    confront the Hutt again or flee the area.
