ENCOUNTER 2: KLIERI'S APARTMENT
Location: A dim, sealed apartment unit in Locus.
Purpose: Crime scene investigation leading to discovery of a critical datapad.

Electronic Door Lock: Security or Computer Programming/Repair (15) check to slice open.
Add +5 to the difficulty if the heroes lack appropriate tools (e.g., datapad, slicer gear).
Use Strength to force open the door: Strength (20) check.
Demolitions or Blaster to blow it open (risking alerting neighbors).

Crime Scene Overview
Once inside, the heroes find:

Signs of struggle (overturned furniture, broken glass, scorched carpet).
Klieri’s body in the bedroom:
She was shot multiple times and crawled from the living room before dying.

Perception-based Discoveries:
Easy (10) Search: Notice evidence of a struggle and the body’s final movements.
Moderate (15) Search: Realize Klieri was likely shot in the living room, not the bedroom.
Difficult (20) Investigation (or Scholar: forensics): Determine the weapon used (blaster) and time of death (2–3 days prior).

The Datapad & Encrypted Card
The datapad is destroyed beyond repair, however, a datacard inside is undamaged and removable.

To access the encrypted contents:
Interface With Datacard: Computer Programming/Repair (15) to connect the card to a working system (e.g., another datapad or computer).
Break Encryption: Make 2-3 consecutive Computer Programming/Repair rolls vs. the card’s security protocol (20):

Failure: Wait 1D6 minutes before retry.
Optional: Add modifiers for high-end slicing tools or if the heroes already know something about the contents.

Success:
Access the full contents of the card (plot-relevant data; GM decides specifics).

Optional Clues
Heroes who investigate further can find:
Blaster residue at the entry point (Search or Investigation vs. 15).
Footprints or drag marks (Tracking vs. 15 if relevant).
A small tuft of dark fur or fabric possibly belonging to the killer (GM’s discretion).
Galaxy of Intrigue (p.196, column 2, paragraph 4-6)

Searching Klieri’s Apartment
The heroes can conduct a Search (or Perception) check to uncover items hidden around the apartment. Each result tier includes all rewards from lower tiers.

Easy (10): 3x blank datacards, 4x ration packs, breath mask with filter, glow rod
Moderate (15): Includes all Easy-tier items, plus: 2x energy cells, medpac, short-range comlink
Difficult (20): Includes all Moderate-tier items, plus: hold-out blaster pistol (3D, concealed), pair of combat gloves (medium-sized; +1D to climbing/jumping or melee damage at GM discretion), pocket scrambler (adds +1D to Security when attempting to block or trace comlink signals).
Heroic (30): Includes all previous items, plus: 1 explosive charge with timer (damage 5D, blast radius 3 meters, timer adjustable in 10-second increments)
Galaxy of Intrigue (p.197, column 2, paragraph 2)

MRD-398 Assassin Droid Ambush
If any hero enters the bedroom, have them make a Search roll vs. the droid's Stealth 4D+1.

If the hero succeeds: They spot the MRD-398 before it attacks.
If the hero fails: The droid ambushes them with surprise.

If no one enters or detects it within 3 rounds: It strikes when the heroes are engaged or distracted—GM's discretion for best timing.

SKILL CHALLENGE: LOCUS STREET CHASE
Difficulty: Moderate to Very Difficult
Challenge Complexity: Standard Chase (8 cumulative successes before 3 group failures)
Recommended Use: When pursuing enemies through a populated, unfamiliar city using vehicles (e.g., landspeeders).

Narrative Premise
The heroes pursue Corporate Sector assassins through the rainy, fog-choked streets of Locus, navigating twisting alleys, looming buildings, and unpredictable foot traffic. They must succeed at enough key maneuvers to trap the assassins before they disappear into the Neutral Zone.

Challenge Structure
Goal: 8 total group successes before 3 group failures.

Failure accrual rule (Containment): Only accrue a failure in a round where no character earns a success.

Opposed Rolls: Some rolls may be opposed by the assassins’ stats (noted below).

Streetwise (28) or (23 if familiar): Recall street maps, gang routes, or shortcuts through Locus.
Search (25): Notice recent speeder tracks, signal lights, or visual cues to track the target’s route.
Repulsorlift Operation (18) or vs. Assassin's Repulsorlift Operation (4D): Pilot through debris, alleys, and sharp turns to maintain pursuit.
Sneak vs. Assassin's Search (4D+1): Maneuver silently to cut off or ambush the assassins down side routes. Add +1D due to gloom.

Only one success per player per round counts toward the goal.
A roll that beats the Difficulty by 10+ counts as 2 successes.
A roll that fails by 10+ counts as 2 failures.

Optional Challenge Effects
Containment Rule: Failures are only counted if no hero succeeds in a round.

Combined Actions: Multiple heroes may combine their rolls on a single skill to help another player (standard D6 combined action rules).

Pursuit Modifiers: Heroes may spend Character Points or Force Points to enhance rolls at critical junctures.

Success (8 Successes): The assassins are cornered in a dead-end alley or jammed plaza. They must abandon their speeder and face the heroes on foot.

Failure (3 Failures): The assassins vanish into the maze of Locus, their trail going cold. Tracking them further may require a new adventure hook or lead.

GM Notes: Use the Chase Rules from The Star Wars Rules Companion or Mini-Adventure Booklets for optional chase flowcharts. If using a battlemap, change terrain each round to create environmental shifts (e.g., market, alley, bridge, tunnel).

YRSSK'S APARTMENT
Location: Locus – Upper Neutral Zone

(Read aloud to players)
The apartment building is a decaying block of permacrete stained green with moss and industrial slime. A slick set of exterior stairs climbs the side of the building, leading to a modest second-story unit. The keypad lock on the door hums faintly.

Accessing the Apartment
Stairs: Slick permacrete. Optional Dexterity (15) check to avoid slipping.

Electronic Lock: Security (15) to disable.
Failure by 5+ triggers a silent alarm.

If tripped, the repulsorlift garage owner arrives in 2D10+5 minutes, accompanied by 2 local thugs.

Repulsorlift Garage Thug: All stats are 2D except: Dexterity 3D, brawling 4D, dodge 3D+1, melee combat 3D, Perception 3D, con 3D+1, Strength 3D. Move: 10. Stun baton (STR+1D), blaster pistol (4D), commlink, street clothes.

Searching the Aprtment
(Read aloud to players)
Inside, Yrssk’s apartment is sparse and smells faintly of reptile musk. The furniture is basic, the kitchen sparsely stocked—clearly a place used only for sleep or short visits. Everything is unnervingly tidy.

Characters may use Perception or Search to investigate. Roll once per character.

Easy (10): Electrobinoculars, liquid cable dispenser, targeting scope
Moderate (15): Above, 3x power packs
Difficult (20): Above, holorecorder with 2x datacards
Very Difficult (25): Above, credit chip (5,000 CSA credits)

Data Analysis
One datacard contains holorecordings of Klieri speaking to various figures.

Computer Programming/Repair (20) or Perception (25) reveals: The recording of Klieri accepting a credit chip and additional notes its a digital forgery, spliced from multiple older clips.

Development
If the alarm was triggered, the garage owner and thugs arrive mid-search.

If the heroes piece together the forgery, it can clear Klieri's name or be used to discredit the CSA.

The presence of 5,000 credits may raise moral questions or attract suspicion if spent too freely.

INTO THE WILDERNESS
Daily Survival Check
Each day spent in Nyriaan’s wild backcountry requires a Moderate Survival check (Difficulty 15) to avoid natural hazards such as:

Toxic bogs and quickmire
Sudden fog banks
Predatory wildlife (e.g., Chlovi Cats)
Sudden temperature shifts and acidic rainfall

Characters who fail the check may suffer one or more of the following at the GM's discretion:

1D damage from exposure or terrain (armor may not apply)
Delayed travel
Alerting nearby predators
Fatigue (−1D to checks for 1D hours)

Unfamiliarity Penalty
Characters not familiar with Nyriaan’s terrain suffer a −1D penalty to all Survival skill checks in the wilderness.

“Familiarity” is gained after 7 days of continuous travel or survival in the wild.

Characters guided by a native (e.g., Finvarra) do not suffer this penalty while following instructions.

Navigation Difficulties: Know Direction
Due to the planet’s dense cloud cover and magnetic interference:

Determining cardinal directions (North, South, etc.) requires a Survival (20) check.

Even Nyriaan natives are subject to this difficulty.

Failure may lead to getting lost, going in circles, or misjudging distances.

GMs may call for periodic Know Direction checks when:

Navigating unfamiliar terrain
Using maps or sensor readings is impossible
Pursuing or evading enemies through the wild
Galaxy of Intrigue (p.198-199, column 2-column 1, paragraph 3-4 and paragraph 1)

BEASTS OF PREY
ENCOUNTER 3: CRIMSON AND CHLOVI
Location: Nyriaan wilderness
Trigger: The party is camping, traveling on foot, or moving through a dense chlovi copse.
Challenge: Sudden ambush by a group of territorial predators—chlovi cats—that attack to defend hunting grounds or feed their pride.

This encounter can be used as a standalone wilderness challenge or integrated into a larger encounter such as “Crimson and Chlovi.”

Setup
Timing: Night or late dusk is ideal (-1D skill modifier).
Number of Enemies: 1 chlovi cat per two PCs, minimum 2.
Terrain Modifiers: Dense Chlovi copse (Difficult)
Stealth Ambush: Chlovi cats get +1D to their sneak attempts if PCs are distracted, resting, or without perimeter sensors.

Tactics
Chlovi cats ambush from above or the underbrush.
They focus on isolated or wounded targets.
Will retreat if more than half the pack is injured or killed, or if met with overwhelming Force powers or heavy fire.

GM Tips
Use the Survival (15) to detect signs of predator activity beforehand.
Alert characters may make Search vs. Chlovi Sneak (5D) to avoid surprise.

Chlovi Cat (4)
Type: Stealth Ambush Predator
DEXTERITY 3D
Dodge 4D+1
PERCEPTION 3D+2
Search 4D+1, search (tracking) 5D+1, sneak 5D

Darkvision: Can see in total darkness up to 30 meters without penalty.
Pack Hunter: When fighting alongside another chlovi cat within 5 meters, gains +1D to brawling.
Bioluminescent Signaling: Uses colored pulses on its skin to silently coordinate pack tactics.
Move: 14
Size: 1.5 meters at shoulder
Galaxy of Intrigue (p.199, column 1, paragraph 2, p.210-211)

Galaxy of Intrigue (p.218-219)

SKILL CHALLENGE: DISABLING THE DELUGE DEVICE
The Deluge Device is a massive CSA superstructure that, if left unchecked, could flood entire valleys, alter Nyriaan’s unstable atmosphere, and permanently damage the planet’s ecology. Deactivating it requires methodical, coordinated skill use under extreme pressure.

Challenge Type: Cooperative Multi-Skill Challenge
Difficulty Level: Veteran-tier complexity
Success Threshold: 11 successful rolls before 3 failures
Catastrophic Error: Any failed skill check by 10+ results in 2 failures

Participating Players
Any character trained in relevant skills may contribute to this challenge. The GM should track each success and failure carefully.

Primary Skills and Tasks
Each skill must be attempted individually, one per round. Multiple characters may attempt different tasks simultaneously or in successive rounds.

Scholar [meteorology, physical sciences] (25): Analyze the principles behind the vaporator system and determine which climatic sequences must be reversed. Each successful roll represents a deep understanding of the local weather effects being manipulated.

Technical (20): Recognize key control nodes and subroutines. Allows players to map out how shutdown protocols should cascade. Helps direct which system must be shut down first to avoid overload.

Engineer [GM's decision] (25): Interface with the exposed mechanical guts of the Deluge Device and disable critical actuators or seals without triggering an emergency override. Reduces danger to the team; essential for shutting down the device cleanly.

Computer Programming/Repair (20): Bypass CSA systems and shut down environmental control software. +1D if the slicer uses CSA-specific login credentials or a Deluge technician's access code. Enables careful sequential shutdown of the Deluge Device's primary functions.

Persuasion or Intimidation (15): Coerce or convince frightened CSA technicians to help or reveal crucial shutdown information. May substitute for one technical/computer check if technician obeys.

Failure Consequence: On a failure, the technician wastes the round. On a failure by 10+, they sabotage the shutdown attempt (count as 2 failures).

Initiative
The challenge progresses in initiative order as if it were combat.

Special Rules
Recovery (Rectifying Mistakes): If a character exceeds the target number on any check by 10+, they may erase 1 previous failure instead of counting that roll as a success.

Outcomes
Success (11 successes before 3 failures): The Deluge Device is fully shut down. A separate Computer Programming/Repair roll (20) allows the heroes to overload and destroy it safely.

Failure (3 failures before 11 successes): The Deluge Device surges, weather turns catastrophic, and the machine’s systems lock down. The heroes must flee as the environment begins to collapse—possibly irreversibly.

MINI-ADVENTURE 2: ARMS DEALERS BEWARE
BARGAINING WITH CALTOS
If the heroes want to negotiate for more credits from Lt. Caltos, use the Bargain or Persuasion skill.

Opposed Roll: Players roll Bargain or Persuasion against Caltos's skill 5D (18).

Tie or win by <5
Payment increased to 3,000 credits

Win by 5+
Payment increased to 4,000 credits

THE STAKEOUT
When the heroes reach the warehouse district at dusk, they may attempt to sneak into position.

Players must succeed at a Very Difficult (25) Sneak or Hide check to remain undetected while taking positions around the warehouse district.

Hiding spots: Abandoned alleyways, shipping containers, rooftop shadows.

Failure: Alerts guards or triggers surveillance sensors, possibly escalating to an early confrontation or chase.

Success: Allows players to observe and potentially ambush the true target if this turns out not to be a decoy.

INTERCEPTING THE CALL
One thug answers a comlink call.

A hero carrying Caltos’s special comlink may attempt to tap into the thug's signal.

Treat as Computer Programming/Repair or Communications (20) skill check.

Success = Hero intercepts conversation confirming this is the correct warehouse.

Optional Bonus: If the player rolls 25+, they also catch part of the thug's call ID, possibly useful for tracking the wider network or identifying who's giving the orders.

If heroes succeed at Sneak checks and initiate the attack, they gain a surprise round. During this round, thugs cannot act (unless they have a special reason to be alert, which they don't in this case). After the surprise round, combat proceeds as normal.

RUMBLE IN THE WAREHOUSE

Thugs (4): all stats 2D except for: Dexterity 3D, blaster 4D, dodge 4D, intimidation 3D, Perception 2D+1, Strength 3D, brawling 4D, stamina 3D+1. Move: 10. Blaster pistol (4D), comlink, street clothes

BREACHING THE WAREHOUSE
The heroes must bypass layered security and enter a potential weapons facility while thugs engage them. Each successful action bypasses a level of security. Each failure escalates the fight or activates more defenses.

Complexity: 5 successes (locks, splices, etc) before 3 failures.

Slice into the door's control panel:
Computer Programming/Repair (20)

Failure by 5+: The interface sparks (have to wait a rond before trying again).

Bypass physical and electronic locks (GM may require a security kit):
Security (20)

Failure by 5+: Lockdown escalates (new thug squad arrives or automated turret activates).

MINI-ADVENTURE #3: CHASE THROUGH CLOUD CITY
PHASE 1: PURSUIT
Goal: Achieve 8 successes before 3 failures

Planetary Systems or Cultures (20): Knowledge of Cloud City layout; reduces difficulty for perception/search rolls.
Search (20–25): Track Odan’s movements through crowds and corridors.
Sneak vs Odan's Perception 5D+1 (19): Take alternate routes to cut her off.
Computer Programming/Repair (25): One player may exit the chase to guide the rest using surveillance/traffic data.
Running (20): Used to gain or close distance each round; success grants +1D to next round's roll.

If the group earns 5 successes or 2 failures, Phase 2 begins.

PHASE2: CHANGING OBJECTIVES: THE ASSASSIN APPEARS
An unknown assassin opens fire on Koon Odan. She stops and takes cover. Now the heroes must intercept the assassin and/or save Odan.

First Aid (15): Treat Odan’s injuries (from blaster fire).
Dodge/Sneak or Running (20): Close in without getting shot.
Brawling or Blaster: Subdue the assassin.
Search (20): Spot sniper location or secondary ambushers.

Changing Objectives: Goal shifts from catching Odan to saving her from assassination.

SUCCESS
Odan is saved.
The assassin is subdued or flees after combat.
The heroes gain information exposing the true saboteur.

4x Imperial Officers
8x Stormtroopers (2 per doorway)
2x Duros Corporate Agents

Strategy: Imperials aim to wound, track, or delay the heroes. At least 1–2 PCs are intended to escape so they can be traced.

AFTERMATH
If the heroes survive, they flee into the city streets and reach their ship. As they take off, they're ordered to stand down—but the Imperials let them go, thanks to a hidden homing beacon aboard.

A final call from the Duro official:

“I swear I didn’t know. But someone wanted you to survive. Be careful.”
