Edge of the Empire Book

ing with a promise of getting them their money. In the
end, only 2,300 credits can be found. One of the of-
ficials makes half-hearted excuses. The PCs are offered
the money as well as a small and heavy metal cylinder
that the officials insist contains an encrypted computer
code to the effect that the PCs are owed 7,700 credits.
This is completely true, though an in-built beacon allows
the Empire to monitor the position of the cylinder and
therefore the movements of dubious bands of adventur-
ers like the PCs. There is no need for them to know this
(and it requires some determined efforts and a Daunt-
ing (••••) Computers check to discover).

Whenever the PCs return to Kessel in the future,

they find that the office of Moruth Doole remains

chronically strapped for cash. Every few months they

are able to wring another thousand credits from the

officials, but it will be at least a full Coruscant year

before they finally get their 10,000.

Furthermore, while the PCs were in the building, a

squad of stormtroopers took the liberty of searching

their ship, and they were able to find any glitterstim

bales inside unless the PCs were careful to conceal them.

In this event, the officials argue—correctly enough—that

this contraband is the lawful property of the Kessel spice

mining operation. They "generously" offer the PCs the

opportunity to buy the bales back if they so desire. They

offer to knock 4,000 credits off the total reward money

they owe the PCs for each bale so bought.
