Subjugation Desolation
A wealthy Gossam client needs extraction from embattled Antar 4.
The choice
What the operation puts to you, and how each answer turned out. Where a choice has two outcomes, it is one that can go wrong.
ASmuggle him out. A Gossam can fit in a half-height crate, right?
Posing as commodities traders, our team managed to sneak the client out in a crate they claimed was full of plasteel alloy samples. Battered but alive, the grateful client paid us our rate.
Our team posed as commodities traders and attempted to smuggle the client out in a crate they claimed was full of plasteel alloy samples. Unfortunately, their story didn't work on the Imperial customs officer running the Antar 4 spaceport. Furrowing her brow, she ordered a full inspection of the Caisson and our cargo. Our team made a run for it, blasting the Caisson's engines on as alarms blared and the hangar's emergency doors groaned closed. They tore away just in time with the client in tow, but the damage to our ship made this a costly escape.
BForge documents. Our team can create a cover identity for the client.
Our team forged documents that declared our Gossam client an important asset of the Empire, with urgent business to attend to at the Imperial Security Bureau. The cowed customs officer waved our group through, wishing them a pleasant trip to Coruscant.

CUse Luco's connection. Luco has a plan: "I happen to have crossed paths with this sector's Prefect a long time ago, under circumstances he would rather the Empire forget. Let me make a single transmission. He will be highly motivated to cooperate."
It's unclear what Luco said to the Prefect, but on their orders, the cowed customs officer waved our group through, wishing them a pleasant trip. Impressed by our professionalism, the client provided us with some important intel and a rare resource, in addition to our promised rate.
The choice
The new Empire is making an example of the formerly Separatist world of Antar 4, persecuting former Separatists and innocent civilians alike. Our Gossam client wants to escape before he is swept up in another mass arrest. We're confident that we can get in, but less confident about getting the client out past Imperial customs, given the Imperial predilection to assume all Gossams were Separatists. How should we approach this?
