The Forces of Corruption

Cademimu V is a bustling ecumenopolis on the Outer Rim, located along a major trade route and housing a plethora of sentient species. It is a center of commerce and industry, most likely being able to provide anything you might be looking for. It also has a strong military tradition, originally being settled as a waypoint for patrols in the sector, and having served as a major munitions supply for the Republic for a long time. It really is the place where anything seems possible, and where anyone can go to find opportunities, as long as they know where to look. 

 

Which is where you come into the picture...

 

"Get your behinds of their seats, and be ready to get off, I´ve got to load and be on my way quickly!"

The voice of the Quarren pilot echoes back into the small passenger space of the transport. Pretty much on cue, you start to hear and see movement in the corner, as a number of pit droids deploy themselves from their compact forms, obviously getting ready to start a very hectic loading sequence. You take another look around inside the ship, once again taking in the small number of individuals other than yourself that have been the main cargo on this journey. The trip have mainly been a quiet one, and as such you know very little about them, though you do know one thing: All of them are in possession of a simple datapad of unknown origin, holding a single message. You know this because you have one as well. 

To:

Greetings, friend. We have been watching you for a while. You possess qualities and skills that our organization finds valuable, including a certain degree of self-interest and a flexible moral code. Therefore, we want to make you an offer. We have need of skilled individuals for an operation of great importance and should you succeed we promise you great rewards. Should you fail, you will not need to worry about...well anything really. If you are interested, follow the instructions at the end of this message. If you are not, we kindly ask that you dispose of this datapad quickly and thoroughly and forget anything it contains. We ask that you perform this task yourself, so that we do not need to take care of the disposal on our own. We think this arrangement would be most beneficial for the well-being of both parties

Following the message are instructions on how to gain passage on an arranged transport - the one you are currently aboard - to Cademimu V, as well as a cryptic instruction to "keep one ear straight" once you get there. With the exit ramp lowering, you watch the others around you prepare to exit the ship, and you figure you should do the same...

Welcome to Forces of Corruption, my very first attempt to run a sandbox-ish game in SWSE. I say sandbox-ish, since I still consider myself a pretty inexperienced GM and like to maintain a certain control of things. Therefore your expectations on the sandbox part of the game should probably be that it offers you freedom more in how you do things rather than what you do. You will have a degree of freedom in the latter department as well, but there will be an overarching plot in place.

I am looking for 3-6 players to join me in exploring the underworld of a massive ecumenopolis in the Old Republic. While I will enjoy any character applications, what I am looking for is characters who would work fine on the "wrong" side of the law, and whose morals could be considered questionable. You have been approached by an unknown party, but it does seem pretty clear that it´s not exactly for a regular employment. The game will be set in the time period between the end of Knights of the Old Republic II and the beginning of The Old Republic.

I´ve set the application deadline to May 31, just above three weeks, with the intent that I will take a final look at applications and select my players the following weekend.
