Ok Casillis crew is ready to proceed, so here we go.
"I am afraid," says Mundi, "that I have very little information for you. Cassillis has been letting very little of the situation escape.
"What we know is this. A band of rebels is threatening to launch an armed uprising against the Z'har. As if this news was not surprising enough- doubly so as there are no weapons on Cassilis-, several months have passed and the situation has not been resolved. Cassilis is such a famous world that concern for the situation has been rather great, and despite assurances from their Senator that the situation will be solved 'very soon', it has been decided to send a Jedi team to assess and arbitrate the situation. Cassilis is such a sophisticated world that we refuse to believe that irrationality is the cause, therefore there must be some grievance, or mix of grievances, that can be in some way addressed.
"The other reason for urgency is this. According to the Z'har, the Rebels are threatening to target the Sanctuary if their demands are not met. I am sure I do not have to spell out what a disaster it would be if the Sanctuary were to become damaged, or worse.
"However, as I say, I am unable to give you the nature, cause, or current state of the dispute, because the Z'har are reluctant to give out information about it. This mission has the full approval of the Senate, but I am afraid much work is expected of you- both to assess the situation and help find a solution without treading on too many toes."
"I am afraid," says Fisto, "the situation is worse than that. We believe that Spiridos is the SOURCE of the smuggling operation. Specifically of a stimulant known as Aspidrol. Aspidrol smuggling has skyrocketed over the last decade, and local law enforcmeent agents have proved powerless to prevent the smuggling on their end. We just take out the source, and we have long suspected Spiridos to be it. But the Spiridosian authorities are refusing to co-operate in any investigation."
"I am afraid we very much do believe that the Spiridonians are involved at the highest level. They have become very rich, but there is always room for them to become richer still. Spiridos itself has huge supplies of aspidrol, becayse it has medicinal uses, but without the Spiridonian's co-operation any standard investigaiton is futile. But the problems of aspridrol smuggling has become so acute that we are now forced to take more active measures.
"Your mission is to enter the facilities on Spiridos, undercover, posing as people making use of its amenities. Whilst there you must gather evidence to prove they are the source of the smuggling and identifty the culprits. Any informaiton ou can get on the distribution netowrk would be useful as well, because we have no idea at all how it is getting around- as I say, local authorities seem powerless to stop it."
Once I know what everyone is doing, Bardock.
"As I say, it is a stimulant," says Fisto, "and hence is favoured by the rich; it is very much known as a businessman's drug, but cut down, cut up and, frankly, posionous variants are finding the way onto the streets on many Republican worlds- a few years ago, dozens. Now, hundreds. it is very very addictive indeed and I highly recommend you go nowhere near it.
"The other issue, Gallagher, is providing you with a decent cover. Only the very rich use the facilities on Spiridos and constructing a convincing affluent background takes time. So if you are amenable, we have a more personal solution for you.
"A genuine member of the Klinge-Faust family, accompanied by a genuine Family Protector, has his cover built in. Your extended family does in fact use the facilities semi-regularly."
"It's very unlikely that they do," says Fisto, "because if there is one place where the drugs won't be being sold illegally, it will be on Spiridos itself.
"You can choose yourself what name to use. Andro," says Fisto, "we thought you could go as a Family Protector as well. Gallagher's Protector Zaland can show you what is needed."
