Pirate Radio

By Stormtrooper Sno, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

Hi everyone,

I had this errant character idea for a smuggler - gunslinger who travels the galaxy broadcasting pirated music. I'm sure it would be suicide to broadcast from his ship, however.

What tech exists to facilitate this? Are there music players, media storage and the like?

What kinds of music exist in Star Wars? I'm sure there's lots, the Galaxy is a big place with disparate subcultures, but what can I bring up in play as being specific to a place?

What's the legality of broadcasting? It is even a concern?

Any ideas?

Thanks!

The Separatists had a "shadowfeed," a sort of pirate HoloNet that broadcast CIS propaganda (at least they did in the EU, not sure if anything like it is officially canon). Maybe they could find or rebuild some surviving elements of that for a broadcast system?

you need a holonet transmitter. Usually ship mounted. Your best bet would be to mount it in hidden storage on the ship.

There's a new specialization for the diplomat career called the "Propagandist" that might give us more insight into this. however, the book isn't out yet.
