Dialog transcript 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. - Corso Riggs, Voidhound, Darmas Pollaran
- Characters interacted with each other (dialog)
Dialog transcript Corso RiggsI'll bring Darmas up to speed while we travel, Captain.VoidhoundDon't tell Darmas anything he doesn't need to know. And keep your eyes open for that scum-sucker who stole my ship.Corso RiggsYou got it. - Corso Riggs, Voidhound
- Characters interacted with each other (dialog)
Dialog transcript Corso RiggsThis is the best feeling... A sky full of stars... a new planet waiting across the galaxy.... It never gets old. There's something about cities, all that plasteel and concrete. Weighs too much to ever feel free. When I came back to Ord Mantell, I thought that was the end for me. Thanks for giving me a way off.---from "A Sky Full of Stars" - Voidhound, Corso Riggs
- Characters interacted with each other (dialog)
Dialog transcript Corso RiggsSo, how about that war, huh, Captain? The Empire's making it real tough to pretend it's not happening. You think the Republic'll stop hiding behind the Treaty of Coruscant and admit they want the Empire wiped out? It doesn't sit right negotiating with people who want every man, woman and kid dead.VoidhoundI didn't realize you cared..You trying to tell me you don't think about it? I do. I joined the Peace Brigade when I was fourteen. I know what a world looks like when the Empire's done with it.VoidhoundWhat's that? A bunch of do-gooders?Corso RiggsThe brigade's a relief organization. Go into worlds abandoned by the Treaty of Coruscant, help people displaced by the Empire. I was a kid looking for an adventure. After two months... let's just say there are no kids in war zones.---from "The Peace Brigade" - Voidhound, Corso Riggs

Dialog transcript 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. - Corso Riggs, Voidhound, Darmas Pollaran
