Bailey used to be a few weeks away from the Solomani

Confederation. They are now a mere parsec away. With the main
focus of Imperial-Solomani hostilities centered on Terra, the threat
of impending invasion has subsided, there is still commerce
raiding going on. It is difficult to tell which side an armed cargo
vessel is on, as many Imperial ships in this region are of Solomani
design, and there are raiders loyal to the Confederation who use
Imperial-designed starships.

Bailey itself is a medium sized airless rocked owned by Ling
Standard Products. The primary starport is still run by the Imperial
Star Port Authority, although its capabilities have been greatly
reduced. The Bailey Shipyards were destroyed during a raid when
the Robert Rogers, a Guderian-class Heavy Raid Cruiser crashed
into them last year. They have not been able to bring them back
on line with the war going on.

Spectacle 1:
As the players approach the main market concourse of either the
High Port or the Low Port, they notice a crowd has gathered.
About a dozen soldiers in black Battle Dress marked with the
Hammers of Sarun are in the process of turning over a local
brothel. The girls (and more than a few customers) are on their
knees in front of the faade under guard while the rest of the
soldiers trash the location and gather evidence of treason. SPA
security is reluctantly providing crowd control.

After a minute or two, the Lieutenant in charge of the Patrol
emerges, declaring that the owners and operators of this brothel
support The assassin and usurper Dulinor, denying the true
Emperor of the Third Imperium, Varian and that this level of
disloyalty will not be tolerated in a time of war against the
Solomani. They tell all assembled that this is the fate of those who
support the false claimants to the throne. At that point, the guards
gun down the employees and customers, as they are helpless on
the ground.

They leave the brothel trashed and the bodies on the walkway in
front of it as they leave. SPA Security disperses the shocked
crowd. If anyone has any dissenting opinions, they keep them
very quiet.

If the PCs take any public stand against the event, the Battle
Dress clad soldiers will not hesitate to gun them down.

Xero, Smuggler (760P #297)
Navy, Rogue
Required Skills: Deception, Stealth
Required Equipment: Room for a cubic meter of storage

Players Information
Xero is a semi-infamous smuggler that comes through the
starport frequently enough to know who to trust and who to avoid
and he has decided to trust the characters. He is not known as a
big-time operator, more as a low-level dealer who works with very
odd jobsalien artifacts are a particular love of his. He does
traditional smuggling jobs when needed to pay his bills. Xero is
believed to be relatively trustworthy (as criminals can be) and has
never been known to work with the authorities.

Currently, he has local law enforcement tailing him and needs
someone to sit on a crate of alcohol for a few days while he
convinces them he is not smuggling. He will give each character
a bottle of liquor (worth approximately Cr100 each; upwards of
$500 if sold to a Baileykin)

Referees Information
The characters will need to pass a single Stealth skill check at
Effect 2 in order to sneak the cargo container to a safe place, but
it will be at least two Deception skill checks at Effect 3 or higher in
order to dissuade starport personnel from looking into it.

Should the players be successful they will gain Xero as a Contact.
He will be particularly curious about Chrome, given his xenophilia.

If the players fail, exactly what they fail at will depend on the
circumstances. If they simply lose the cargo, if they dont make
recompense to Xero, they will gain him as a Rival. If they burn
him to the authorities, they will gain him as an Enemy.

Entertainer
Required Skills: Carouse, Persuade
Required Equipment: None

Players Information
One of the well-loved exotic dancers at the Sinners Feast, Tania
has gained quite a following in her years of frolicking half-nude for
her fans. Unfortunately for her, however, she has also picked up a
particularly obsessed stalker who needs a gentle reminder that
she has friends that can take care of her.

For Cr500 and all the drinks they want at the Feast, Tania will hire
the characters to simply party with her on a night where she
knows her stalker will be watchingto discourage him, of course!

Referees Information
The obsessed fan is named Christoph Ghuran and the characters

without getting too drunk. Christoph is a member of LSP
Corporate Security and has no issue getting in a fight over Tanias
affections.

Bailey is owned by the Ling-Standard Products megacorporation, which uses the system as a mining and manufacturing concern. The
300,000 inhabitants of the planet are scattered among a little over 2000 settlements, the vast majority of which are less than one hundred
people strong. As such, the larger settlements take on a very vibrant and transient entertainment culture, as they cater to both workers from
the smaller settlements and off-world visitors as well.

One of the things off-world visitors note is that the sale of drugs and alcohol is prohibited outside of the Imperial starport (one of the very few
things prohibited on Bailey). This comes from safety regulations and the Baileykin (as the natives refer to themselves) often tell visitors they
dont need substances to have a good time, and if you need them, youre doing it wrong.

The rough and tumble appearance of Bailey masks a very positive culture. While Baileykin aggressively seek out fortune, it is generally a
cooperative expansionism. Teamwork has been a watchword for Bailey, and its inhabitants generally want little to do with people who arent
working towards something better.

There are three starports on the planet, one run by the Imperium, the other two being LSP-owned and operated. One is a Class B, the other
Class D. There are approximately 10 Class F Spaceports in other settlements.

Within the limited ice collections of Bailey exist Hydrogen-based life forms. While it is a very simple ecosystem, it is native to the planet. LSP
studies the life form but is very strict about its export by non-LSP parties.

Cupe Nandy, Corporate Investigator (760P #161)
Agent, Corporate
Required Skills: Streetwise
Required Equipment: None

Players Information
Cupe Nandy is the lead investigator in an ongoing search for a corporate saboteur who has been reported to have fled to the area. She has a
massive budget for freelance help and will not hesitate to tap into these funds in order to catch her target. Cupe will offer the characters
Cr1500 to help her scour their general area for the location of a red-haired tattoo covered man named Lobos. If they also help her bring the
man to justice, she will triple this payment.

Referees Information
It will take an Effect 5 successful Streetwise skill check to track down Lobos. If they wish to aid in his capture/execution, he will not be an easy
battleas he is heavily augmented and well equipped. He is holed up in a subterranean storage compartment with lots of food, water and only
one entrance to the room.

Grant Holcrumb, Gun Runner (760P #3)
Mercenary, Merchant
Required Skills: Streetwise
Required Equipment: None

Players Information
Grant Holcrumb is a freelance arms trader and smuggler of nearly legal weaponry to a number of clients across the star system, doing so
knowing his wares would be going off to the people who need them mostor at least who can pay enough to get their hands on them. He
normally doesnt care too much if he sells to criminals or mercenaries, but even he has a line he never crosses.

Unfortunately, his last buyer has since been rumored to be re-selling the guns to local terrorists and now Grant wants verification of this fact
before he sends in the bounty hunters to deal with his former buyers. He will offer the characters Cr1000 each to get the street level research
on Terj Raffi, the infamous buyer, which he will double if they discover him to be actually re-selling the guns to terroristsand confront him
directly on his behalf.

Referees Information
Terj Raffi frequents a nightclub local to where the characters are known to spend their time called The Hole. It is a nice place with ample
security, tons of attractive people dancing and moderately priced drinks. They will want to pass a few Streetwise and Carouse checks to know
whether or not Terj is actually arming terrorists, or anyone else for that matter. Terj is actually a terrorist himself, charged with arming the
militant wing of an anarcho-syndalist organization (Utopian Baileykin Industry).
