I'm ready to move on with the story.
Reach of the Empire OOC
I don't have anything I want to do.
Sorry, been a little busy, but I'm still in.
Sorry, I've been busy as well, but I'm game to continue the story. I don't need to do anything else on the Ring (I've been mostly tagging along anyway).
Edited by oneeyedmatt87@Von3679 Average Resilience check please.
Other than a faint numbing sensation, that will soon pass, Veitra is fine. @Von3679

20 xp + 500 credits for each of you. I also increased Duty by 2 for all (Triggered, so +1 to everyone's Wound Threshold).
@Rabobankrider The cred-stick from the Wookiee rescue has 500 credits. Also, Duty has been triggered for Den in the upcoming session, so +2 to his Wound Threshold: Duty triggered? : 1d100 6
To Combat Victory!
Cool. Will c what i can rank up
Taking conditioned defensive driving and another grit from the cadet tree.
I'm going to take Deception 2 and Perception 2. I also added the contents of the cred-stick from the ISB agent to my character sheet.
(Your mission, since it has been a while):
Colonel Yularen activates the holoprojector and the image of a smartly dressed Pantoran woman appears before the team. "Ms. Venlana Sipal. A businesswoman, of sorts, employed by the Zann Consortium. The Empire is not particularly interested in Tyber Zann's extralegal activities at this time, but Ms. Sipal appears to be playing both sides. A signals intelligence intercept strongly suggests she is the one who leaked information to the Veiled Sorority, prior to several attacks on Zann shipments earlier this year. You will make contact with her, and.. encourage her cooperation, recruit her, inform against her.. however you see fit to make use of her duplicity, make sure it leads you to the queen. At this time, she is our only lead."
Is this the first time ic we are meeting Cani?

Good point! Brecor was present when she arrived earlier, and Briar received a message, but for most of you... Yes.
Does Briar know anything about Taleucema City, beyond what was included in the briefing?

Since the Outer Rim is Briar's specialty, and she had time and means to do her homework on the place, you may consider her familiar with any of the more general information. Anything specific you are looking for? Let me know, and I'll give you a difficulty based on what you're trying to learn.

The city, like most settlements on Saleucami, is built within an old impact crater; Taleucema is the largest, spanning some six kilometers across and a kilometer in depth. The starport is built into the upper levels of the northern rim. Bubse root extract is the primary resource of the region, both in legitimate medicine and illicit bubse spice trade. The Imperial presence here is limited to Taleucema city, with a Governor and a platoon of stormtroopers (four squads). While there is no official embassy, diplomatic or intelligence presence, there is a COMPNOR agent in the sector who often resides in the city. Further information may be known with the following checks (you may use your judgement to apply Boost/Setback based on what you are trying to glean from the available databases).
- Taleucema City or Saleucami (Avg Outer Rim)
- Zann Consortium (Avg Underworld)
- Veiled Sorority (Hard Underworld)
- Local Imperial Operations (Avg Warfare)

Added Warfare check
I was thinking of information on the location that Sipal wants to meet us, and information on who runs the city and who is important in the city. I'm not certain how much of that I will get with just the outer rim check, but I assume that is the closest.
Information on Taleucema City

- The Paradise is a resort casino located in The Belt, the district radiating outward from the starport. Perhaps oddly, it is not one of the Zann Consortium's establishments, though they do possess other holdings in the Belt. With enough credits, one could comfortably live, eat, recreate... pretty much do anything, without ever leaving the confines of the resort.
- Governor Drustus Holt is the Imperial representative officially responsible for enforcing policy, but the city is a well-oiled machine, and he mostly just accepts the appropriate bribes to keep it running that way. Holt fancies himself an amateur archaeologist, and is a collector of separatist war militaria. When his presence is not required, he often accompanies expeditions in order to add to his collection. In his absence, he leaves matters in the capable hands of Minister Gloria Fallon.
- The drug czar is a Pantoran man named Wilem Topal, native to Saleucami. Thus far, he has refused to relinquish provincial authority over the control of bubse root derivatives to either the Empire or any of the criminal syndicates. So long as the Empire receives its exorbitant taxes, no one has forced the issue.

I think Cani would know more about mechanised infantry and placements of more advanced starships in the sector. That new walker with the anti grav gyro was tested by a platoon here. Or they used the new hyper drive installed in a retrofitted destroyer to travel here while on patrol.

The Intrepid is currently the only capital ship in the Suolriep Sector.
Cani, due to the nature of her work, is familiar with a secret test facility hidden in an impact crater on Saleucami. Imperial Advanced Weapons Research has partnered with a small group of engineers from Sienar Fleet Systems, to create a new walker prototype using anti-grav gyro technology. A small detachment from armored cav is garrisoned on site for testing.
It would probably be more like a few hours for the cavalry to arrive. The crater is several hundred kilometers northeast of the city. @SithArissa
