Time index:Any fits into any campaign nicely
Setting:Rodia(urbanized jungle planet), Tatooine(urbanized desert
planet), more to determined)
Adventure type:Smuggling run(seems simple at first!)
Recommended Character Types:Smugglers, pirates, mercanaries, gamblers
and other rogues. A smuggler or someone with a ship is a neccesity.
Author:Stuart Yee
Author's notes: As the title states, the adventure involves a certain
droid that the characters have to deliver to a certain crime boss.
However, everyone believes that the droid contains coordinates
to a secret Rebel base, and now every spy, imperial buerucrat, ISB
agent and information broker wants to get their hands on it. The comedy
of everything is that it merely contains a secret compartment of
illicit spice, small potatoes. But nobody, including the characters
know this.
This is an average smuggling run. It can also be a good beginning
adventure. It is very flexible, and many varients can be created on
a whim. With a little tweaking, it can involve the Rebel Alliance.
And as detailed later, can be modified to where the characters get
and opportunity to join the Rebels(if they haven't already)
Featuring:Cameos by Ploovo Two for One and Jabba the Hutt!

If the PCs were captured, they are taken to the garrison base on
Naantett(go to 6a). Upon arriving on Tanathca, troopers will attempt to apprehend them. If the troopers are successful, they will be taken to the garrison base on Naantett(go to 6a). If the droid was confiscated in the previous episode, the PCs must do
some detective work to figure out that the droid was taken to
Naantett. There they must recapture the droid. Meanwhile, the imperials discover the true nature of the droid.

The Conclusion
Jabba is furious at his henchman for betraying him, and the Imperials think he is a traitor. The Villian gets his.
If the PCs succeed in the delivery, they will be paid, but Jabba will not be happy about it. If they could not deliver, they will have a lot of explaining to do, and a large debt.
