| Corso RiggsEverything on Coruscant is huge. You see those city towers as we flew in? How many people you figure live in those? Millions?VoidhoundYou've never been off Ord Mantell in your life, have you?Corso RiggsDon't go making assumptions. I've just never been here.VoidhoundLooks like some of the city towers lost a few levels.Corso RiggsHeard the Sith Empire hit this planet pretty hard. Even knocked the Jedi Temple off its pedestal. Wanna find Skavak before we're too old to shoot straight? We're gonna need local help.VoidhoundGot someone particular in mind?Corso RiggsI happen to know the perfect guy. There's a gambler named Darmas Pollaran who keeps tabs on everything worth knowing about Coruscant. Viidu called him an "information broker." When Darmas isn't playing sabacc, he buys and sells the kind of answers we need. Good man. You'll like him.VoidhoundWhere do we find this Darmas?Corso RiggsViidu always said if you look for a sabacc table surrounded by beautiful women, you'll find Darmas, but I can narrow that down. I still have Viidu's holofrequency contacts, and Darmas is one of them. Give me a second, and we'll talk to the man himself....Darmas PollaranCorso, is that you? It's been too long, you rascal. What brings you to Coruscant?Corso RiggsA friend and I are in a real bind. Is there a place we can meet you?Darmas PollaranOf course. Come to my private cantina booth. I'm here now, winning my tenth hand of sabacc against a very persistent Rodian. Hope you don't mind the occasional blaster fire; the cantina's in a rowdy part of Coruscant.VoidhoundWe just came from a war zone. We're used to blaster fire.Darmas PollaranHad a feeling you were more than a tourists. I look forward to meeting you in person. I expect it will brighten my day considerably.Corso RiggsKeep your comlink channel open, Darmas. I've got some bad news about Viidu. |

| Darmas PollaranWelcome, my friend. I'm Darmas Pollaran, sabacc player and information resource without equal.VoidhoundNice to meet you. I'm the fastest blaster in the galaxy.Darmas PollaranI guess congratulations are in order. I wasn't aware that competition had been settled. Good for you.Sorry to hear about Viidu. He was a man of refined tastes and a terrible card player. I'll truly miss him. Life is like sabacc. The trick is to quit while you're ahead and enjoy your winnings - exactly how I'll spend my twilight years.VoidhoundI'll drink to that.Darmas PollaranWho needs luck? With the right preparation and a flexible strategy, a man can be ready for anything life throws at him - even death. Now, I know this isn't a social call. Corso says you have troubles, and I'm prepared to help.VoidhoundA man named Skavak stole my freighter and brought it here.Darmas PollaranHaving met Skavak, I understand completely. Corso mentioned a cargo hold full of stolen blasters and the infamous Rogun the Butcher, too. My sympathies.VoidhoundRogun the Butcher put a bounty on my head. I want it removed.Darmas PollaranNot much I can do about that, except find the man who got you into trouble. Skavak is well known in the galactic underworld. He's earned death sentences across the galaxy for everything from armed robbery to kidnapping. He's known to be in the Sith Empire's pocket, and he even cheats at cards. I'm happy to help you find him.VoidhoundIf there's one thing I hate, it's a card cheat.Darmas PollaranOh, my... beauty, intelligence and fine moral values - what's not to like about that combination? In my book, if you can only win by cheating you shouldn't be playing the game at all.Soon as Corso mentioned Skavak's name, I alerted all my best informants. I'm getting some interesting leads.Corso RiggsWhat did I tell you, Captain? Darmas can find out anything. We'll have Skavak in no time.VoidhoundHow much do you want for your information, Darmas?Darmas PollaranNothing, my friend. I couldn't live with myself, taking advantage of a man who lost his starship. Skavak recently used the services of a data slicer named Kixi in the Migrant Merchants' Guild headquarters. Quite talented, I hear.VoidhoundWhat would Skavak need with a data slicer? More of Skavak's girlfriends. I'll say this: The man has a way with women.Darmas PollaranSlicers are masters at cracking codes and manipulating data. Miscreant like Skavak'll have all sorts of nefarious uses for such talent. And I don't think it's a romantic relationship. Skavak doesn't cavort with aliens - even near-humans like Kixi.VoidhoundWhat do you know about this guild?Darmas PollaranIt's made up of aliens who lost their homes in the war. The guild's original goal was self-preservation, but lately they've become... greedy. Kixi might be able to help you flush Skavak out of hiding. Be careful, though - the guild is well armed and doesn't like outsiders. Excuse me, but I notice some delightful young ladies in desperate need of attention. Duty calls. |

| Darmas PollaranAn informant spotted you leaving the Migrant Merchants' Guild. I trust Kixi was useful?VoidhoundKixi did a real number on Skavak's identity record.Darmas PollaranOn a world this crowded with people and technology, he can't hide for long.My sources reveal Skavak is doing business with the Black Sun gang. A dangerous friendship for all sorts of reasons. Black Sun is notorious for keeping holorecordings of all their meetings. No doubt they've preserved the highlights of Skavak's visit.VoidhoundI doubt Black Sun lets just anybody peek at their holos. Bring me up to speed on this gang.Darmas PollaranAfter the Empire sacked Coruscant, the worst criminal scum organized and called themselves Black Sun. A bit theatrical, if you ask me. Black Sun made a fortune extorting corrupt officials using their holorecordings. Nowadays, the gang records everything "just in case." Black Sun fragments its recordings over several computers to prevent unauthorized viewing. You'll have to assemble the relevant footage by accessing each computer. I should warn you, Black Sun controls an entire sector of Coruscant. They're thugs with the most horrible manners. Do be careful. Good luck. |

| Darmas PollaranHaving some trouble with bounty hunters, Captain?VoidhoundOnly a little. I can't help it if I'm popular with all the wrong people. You're supposed to know everything. Why didn't you warn me about them?Darmas PollaranBeing famous has its drawbacks, doesn't it? I didn't see those wild cards coming until it was too late.VoidhoundGot anything for me about Skavak?Darmas PollaranHe's still hiding beneath whatever rock he crawled under--but I expect that will change soon. I hear Black Sun's on an emergency recruitment drive, and you had an altercation at the spaceport. I take it my lead was worthwhile.VoidhoundNo matter how close I get, I still can't catch Skavak. I need the best information you've got.Darmas PollaranYou're receiving it, I assure you. These things take time. While we wait for Skavak to make his next move, perhaps we could play a little sabacc?Corso RiggsI saw that one coming....Darmas PollaranCorso, don't be such a spoilsport. What do you say, Captain? First game's on me.VoidhoundOn second thought, how about we play a little pazaak?Darmas PollaranI'm afraid I've never been a fan. Its strategy has always felt a bit shallow.VoidhoundWhat's the harm in a friendly game of cards?Corso RiggsDon't say I didn't warn you, Captain.Darmas PollaranSabacc is the sport of spacers - everyone who's anyone plays it. Get us a round of drinks, won't you, Corso? There's a good man. Let's deal some cards....-----playing sabacc...-----Darmas PollaranYou win again. That was... very impressive.Corso RiggsImpressive? The captain just cleaned your chrono, Darmas.Darmas PollaranHmm. I'd say you've played this game before.VoidhoundI never said I was a beginner.Darmas PollaranThen I'm a victim of my assumptions. Well played, my friend. Hold on, I'm receiving an alert from my network. This may be what we've been waiting for.... Looks like your efforts have paid off, Captain. My informants just witnessed Skavak fighting someone and fleeing into Justicars' territory. We have him!VoidhoundWho are these "Justicars"?Darmas PollaranThey're vigilantes - self-appointed "judges" of a whole city sector. Executioners is more like it.VoidhoundDid your informants say who Skavak was fighting?Darmas PollaranAn alien of some sort, according to this report. Very peculiar.VoidhoundTell me where I'm going, Darmas.Darmas PollaranYou're headed into one of the most dangerous parts of Coruscant. The Justicars don't tolerate outsiders in their sector. They've been known to "punish" non-humans simply for being alien. Skavak must truly be desperate to risk his life going there. You'll want to avoid the Justicars unless you're particularly hungry for a fight. They're all ex-soldiers and armed to the teeth.My informants are a brother and sister named Jiik and Juul. They know where to find Skavak. I'll tell them you're coming. Play your hand carefully in the Justicar sector. My instincts tell me Skavak hasn't shown all his cards yet.VoidhoundI'll keep that in mind.Darmas PollaranGood luck to you, Captain. I hope you make Skavak pay all his debts. |
