Ideas for Spynet informaton

By mwknowles, in Game Masters

Hi there,

Im setting a game in the city of Tal'Cara on the Bothan planet of Kothlis. The PCs are trying to track down the stolen super computer held by the rebels. Now as imperial agents, the PCs will encounter a lot of resistance to this, plus hostility. BUT gangs of angry Bothan teens shooting at them can get old very fast. PLUS i want to use a lots of CUNNING based skills and the fact that Bothans are natural spymasters. So some way of making disinformation interesting.

My thoughts are, the rebels need equipment (computers/droids) and expertise (Bothan Technicians) in order to decrypt the super computer, so they will leave info everywhere. The PCS (imperials!) will try find this info to lead them to the rebels safe house but will smothered with Bothan interference. Just need several ideas plus leads (false and real) to send them on, plus encounters. I have several already but need more to gel them.

Help my addled brain please! Thanks in advance!!

False:

-The rebels where having supplies delivered somewhere outside of the city, possibly some kind of hideout.

-A local port owner says the rebels docked their ship in his yard and he’s unhappy with the “future” promise of payment. He’ll gladly lead the imperials to the ship. Once arriving there a fragged looking ship secretly rigged to explode when the imperials get to close.

True:

-A local crime syndicate has eyes and ears everywhere and are loyal only to credits. They must have seen something and would be willing to hand it over for the right price or a favor.

-A Local Bothan lost his son who was a contractor during a rebel bombing on an imperial facility that was being built. He’s heard one of the rebels was injured and got treated by a local vet who promised to keep the surgery on the down low. Being no fan of the rebels despite local pressures he’d gladly sell out the doctor for vengeance.
