Political shenanigans on Ryloth

By infmed, in Game Masters

If the players Slate, Forrest, Monet, Vape, or Esrad are reading this...stop it. Stop it.

So my players have been using the flourishing mining town of New Meen from the Long Arm of the Hutt adventure as a base. After accruing a hefty bounty on their heads for both actions against the Empire and waiving their lightsabers around in public, they've flown a stolen ship directly to Nabat/New Meen. The ISB has been tracking them for some time, so they're already in a bit of a bind, but instead of immediately dropping the hammer on them, I figure the Starport Administrator will blackmail them into doing him a favor or two. Instead of sending word of the stolen ship and its crew of felons to BoSS and the Empire, he's willing to lose the arrival/departure data of their stolen ship assuming they cooperate. I'm just not quite sure what a Starport administrator of what I assume is a relatively small city would want from them. There isn't much info I can find on Ryloth's political scene, any input would be very helpful.

Edit: The timeline is roughly 1.5 years ABY

Firstly, the most important thing to ascertain would be which is they year you are in, as things vary a little on Ryloth during the Imperial Era.

However, as for ideas as to what he could want from them, given he is privy to cargo manifest from ships and such, he could ask them to steal something for him from a vessel that recently docked.

Maybe there are some recently smuggled Wookiee pelts that he wants “found”?
