Episode 6 - The Core of Corruption

The Nazren uprising is over. Out of the chaos, Senator Organa’s agents return
to the starship Resurgence with new data essential to discovering
the origins of the mysterious Sarlacc Project.
Fearing that swift Imperial action will invalidate the compromised information,
the Imperial traitor Admiral Varth has reassembled Organa’s agents for a dangerous
trip to the heart of the Empire. There they must continue their desperate search
for the Sarlacc Project, under the oppressive gaze of the Empire itself . . .

While on the planet Nizon, the heroes obtained intelligence related to
the origins of the Sarlacc Project. Upon returning to the Resurgence, the
data is analyzed, prompting Admiral Varth to recall them to the mission
briefing room and fill them in on the details. It seems that the engineers
of the Sarlacc Project are in an Imperial facility on Coruscant, and the
heroes must seek them out.

Admiral Varth provides the necessary codes and permissions for the heroes to enter the Coruscant system. They must slip through Imperial security undetected, secure a landing pad, and establish a base of operations. Using a multitude of skills, contacts, information gathering and scrounging, the heroes must pinpoint the location of the project’s architects and engineers. Above all, they must not attract attention from the ISB or any other Imperial organization. Their investigations may include the underworld, Imperial computer networks, Alderaanian
contacts, and a little help from the Force.

Eventually, the heroes discover that the designers are located in an
unfinished skyscraper. They must ascertain a method of entry and ascend
to the highest levels of the structure. Upon locating the designers, the
heroes soon realize the warped and horrific design process in place.

However, before they can do much about it, the project’s true managers
appear—the dreaded Imperial Inquisitors. The Inquisitors cannot afford
for the project to be revealed and fight to the death if needed. When
defeat seems imminent, they trigger a self-destruct, forcing the heroes
to find their way out of the collapsing building. Even after they have
escaped, the heroes must elude Imperial security and emergency rescue
teams until they can flee the scene.

Ultimately, the heroes learn the details of the Sarlacc Project. The
Empire is constructing a massive new starship many times larger than a
Star Destroyer, which is an early prototype (though not the final version)
of the Super Star Destroyer. The new vessel will serve as the flagship of
the Imperial fleet, and the Sarlacc Project nears completion.
