I am running a campaign with PC characters from EotE, AoR, and F&D. I have an inquisitor as the main BBG through the story. However, I don't want him showing up every game session and diminishing his stature as a BBG. I was going to introduce an Emperor's Hand as another Force sensitive Imperial to challenge my PCs. I have not found any EU references to either parties working together or references to indicate if the Emperor would allow these two factions to work towards the same goals for him. The Hand's mission goals will not necessarily line up with the aim of the inquisitor all the time.
My PC unknowingly revealed their Force abilities and lightsabers in front of the inquisitor while attempting to rescue captive Jedi survivors from the Imperial prison on Dathomir. Needless to say the intel that led them to these actions was false and planted in the ISB databanks by the Inquisitorius to root out any remaining Jedi or Force users intent on finding Jedi. Any feed back and suggestions would be appreciated.
