The whole galaxy runs on credits.

From the hallowed halls of the High Republic to the despotic worlds of the Sith, the entire galaxy requires that its citizens earn some sort of honest or dishonest living if they are to survive. No matter where you go, you will find credits in some form, and despite the multitude of difference between the different factions that call the galaxy home, there is but one thing everyone seemingly agrees on, no matter how rich or poor they might be.

One can NEVER have enough credits!

This facet of life has become painfully apparent for the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant as it seeks to continue spreading its influence throughout the Outer Rim. Unfortunately, creating, maintaining and expanding an army has proven to be a rather expensive mission for Mahporeem, and the Imperial Remnant currently finds itself rather short on funds. At the current rate, the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant will soon run out of credits to pay its soldiers and buy new weapons and equipment, and the last thing that the Imperial Remnant needs is any sort of armed mutiny against it.

Thus, the Imperial Remnant has hatched a number of schemes in order to secure that credits that it desperately needs for the future. Will such endeavors prove fruitful for the Imperial Remnant, or will Mahporeem be forced to "default" as it fails to secure the capital that it needs for the foreseeable future?

[OBJECTIVE I: JUST LIKE THE SIMULATIONS]
[PvP, PvE]


Right on the doorstep of Mahporeem is a little known planet called Doan, which like Mahporeem, is essentially a single product economy, though Doan focuses almost exclusively on mining. Mismanagement of the planet's resources by the Pyke Syndicate has caused the miners who call the planet home to rise up and rebel against their uncaring overlords. The Mahporeem Imperial Remnant seeks to take advantage of the chaos, by installing a new, more "understanding" government and securing as many resources for themselves as possible. Of course, the Pyke Syndicate and their mercenary forces will not go without a fight, and chances are that other outside parties may seek to take advantage of the ensuring battle to come...

[OBJECTIVE II: HERE COMES THE MONEY]
[SOCIAL]


The esteemed N&Z Umbrella Corporation seeks to hold an auction at their field headquarters on Mahporeem, as the company looks to part ways with a number of rare and exotic weapons and armor sets. Such weapons and armor sets are perhaps unlike anything every offered for sale to the general public, boasting exquisite craftsmanship and the highest possible quality of engineering. Such pieces are not expected to go cheaply, so it is recommended to bring large amounts of credits to the auction. Anyone who participates in the auction itself is automatically entered for a chance to win a particularly rare set of armor, a true one of a kind piece: Antique Trooper Armor! Socialize, sip and spend to your heart's content: if you want it, than the auction will have it!

[OBJECTIVE III: SPACE ODDITY]
[PvP, PvE]


Deep within the sector known as the "Ash Worlds" lies a derelict and abandoned research station. No one knows who created the station or what the research was being conducted on it, but rumor has it that whatever is stored on the station itself is highly valuable, worth more than a small fortune in credits. At the moment, the station seems to guarded by an automatic defense system, and anyone attempting to gain the research being conducted on the station for themselves will have to contend with droid starfighters and a small but potent automated defense fleet. But surely the risk is worth doing so, is it not? After all, what's the worst that the station could throw at anyone attempting to board it?

The skies of Mahporeem hung beneath my vessel like a shroud of bruised violet silk, veined with the distant glow of industry and ambition. I descended not as a conqueror, nor as a supplicant, but as a patient shadow drawn toward the scent of opportunity.

My midnight-black gothic dress swept across the landing platform like liquid darkness, its hem whispering against the durasteel beneath my feet, while a shimmering hooded silk shawl concealed much of my form beneath folds of darkened elegance.

The Imperial Remnant had gathered upon this world to swell their coffers through auction and commerce, trading relics and treasures beneath banners of authority.

Let them.

I had come seeking credits as well, though my methods were seldom as straightforward as theirs.

Wealth, like power, was often easiest acquired when others were too distracted counting their own.

The field headquarters of N&Z Umbrella Corporation rose before me in austere grandeur, its halls alive with merchants, brokers, and predators disguised as investors. I moved among them in silence, fingers drifting across display cases as I casually examined several auction pieces; weapons, armors, and several other curiosities, all fragments of forgotten histories whose true values were known only to a select few.

A server droid rolled past with mechanical precision, and without breaking stride I plucked a frosty fruit drink from its tray. The chilled glass gathered beads of condensation against my hand as I surveyed the gathering through the shadow of my silk hood.


Around me, fortunes were being wagered and legacies sold to the highest bidder. Somewhere within this marketplace of greed and vanity, I intended to leave considerably richer than when I arrived.

I raised the frosted glass to my lips and took a slow sip, the chilled sweetness cutting through the stale scent of ambition that lingered throughout the auction hall.


"You know," I mused to nobody in particular, my voice carrying a note of dark amusement beneath the shadow of my hood, "this night has the potential to bear the fruits of success itself; far less bitter, considerably colder, and infinitely easier to swallow."

A faint smile touched my lips as red eyes drifted across the assembled bidders.
"Then again, the evening is still young, and success has a habit of finding its way into my hands eventually."
