Slaughtered Hutts. Worlds on fire. An Outer Rim in recovery. This is what the Bryn’adul left behind. And while the Concord sought to rebuild, not all empires needed restoration. Not all enterprises deserved to live on, least of all the morally corrosive spice trade.
For years, the mines lay dormant, only co-axium continued. Some organizations tried to restart the spice trade, but such efforts always ended in failure. Now, the crime lords of the Consortium turn their eyes toward Kessel, having solidified a base in Hutt Space, and seek to let the spice flow once more.
Welcome to the Hutt Space Consortium’s dominion of Kessel, below are some objectives to help streamline your participation.
Objective 1 - Population Control - The mine shafts have become infested with energy spiders. We need them for the glitterstim from their webs, but the herd needs to be thinned out. Push them back and secure the tunnels.
Objective 2 - Coaxium - The coaxium mine on Kessel is run by a corporation. Kill them all. We will mine the coaxium ourselves.
Objective 3 - Consortium Council - While the seizure of the mines are underway, the heads of the Consortium’s syndicates are meeting on Oba Diah to discuss the future.
Executive Conference Room
Gorba sat at the head of a very long table, flanked by a brutal looking Gamorrean and his majordomo A'ti . A holo projector in the center of the table cast up an image of the Akkadese Maelstrom, at the center of which lay Kessel. Gorba ran a finger along the white striations in the black marble tabletop as he waited for the rest of the crime lords to arrive. They had had to allow the Pykes in of course, so they set at the opposite end of the table with their strange too-thin necks, staring at Gorba while they waited.
After losing most of the Bareesh Kajidic's territory thirty years ago, Gorba had thought his entire species was on the verge of extinction. Instead, the Hutts had bounced back, fewer, but hardened by conflict. More like the old Hutt conquerors than any before.
They were the rising tide, and the Underworld would rise with them.
