After months of searching, the heroes finally learn that Jedi Master Denia
is being held captive on a fortress world in the Deep Core. It will be impossible
to reach her in time without codes to allow safe passage.
A celebrity heiress has such codes, and the heroes must seek her aid
while hiding in plain sight from the forces of the Empire . . .
is being held captive on a fortress world in the Deep Core. It will be impossible

A celebrity heiress has such codes, and the heroes must seek her aid
while hiding in plain sight from the forces of the Empire . . .
After months of searching, Bail Organa finally learns that the Empire has
taken Jedi Master Denia to the planet Prakith in the Deep Core, a fortress
world that serves as the base of operations for the Inquisitorius. It is
virtually impossible to travel to Praxis without Imperial security clearance,
and the background check necessary to obtain clearance would reveal that
the heroes have death marks on their heads.
However, Senator Organa has discovered that Lady Alya Aldrete—an
Alderaanian heiress known for her decadent behavior—has access to
security clearances, using them so smugglers in her employ can ferry
forbidden goods to and from the heavily secured Deep Core worlds. To have
a chance to speak with her, the heroes must attend the maiden voyage of
the Gem of Alderaan, a luxury repulsortrain that is a part of her family’s
collection of resorts, casinos, and passenger liners.
When the heroes arrive at the launch station, stormtroopers line the
perimeter as Imperial officers mill about with the Alderaanian nobles. The
maiden voyage will last several hours, during which time the heroes must
make a good impression through a series of social encounters: playing
sabacc in the casino, rubbing shoulders with nobles at a fancy dinner,
holding intelligent conversation in the lounge, and even engaging in
recreation in the onboard nightclub.
Eventually, the heroes gain the notice of Lady Aldrete’s personal
assistant, a Twi’lek named Notru’denn, who summons them to her private
traincar. He reveals that his employer’s appearance as a self-centered
noble is just a cover for her clandestine activities. In truth, Lady Aldrete
uses her Deep Core smugglers as spies, creating an information network
that spans the galaxy. If the heroes convince Notru’denn of their sincerity,
he offers to arrange an audience with Lady Aldrete as soon as she returns.
Moments later, the repulsortrain lurches and alarms sound.
Trandoshan mercenaries hijack the train, hold the passengers hostage in
the control car, and will release them only if Senator Organa surrenders.
(They saw Organa on the guest list and think that the Senator is on board.)
The heroes fight the first group of mercenaries in a dark nightclub, using
their wits to overcome their relative lack of weapons. Pushing into the
casino car, they find an Imperial dignitary and his stormtroopers fighting
more mercenaries and a heavily armed war droid. Working with their
unlikely allies, the heroes storm the dining car (filled with hostages) to
rescue the last large cluster of guests onboard.
When the heroes move forward through the observation car, they are
attacked by the mercenaries’ starfighters, which seem intent on destroying
the car. The heroes uncouple the trailing cars to protect the civilians on
board, then fight the starfighters, outgunned by their powerful weapons.
When the heroes finally reach the control car, they find the
Trandoshan mercenary commander using Lady Aldrete as a human shield.
He drags her up to the roof, where the final showdown takes place as the
out-of-control repulsortrain speeds hundreds of meters above a snow-covered
mountain range. After the heroes defeat the Trandoshan and
rescue Lady Aldrete, Captain Sirona Okeefe’s transport swoops down to
scoop them up as the train careens into the mountains below. They blast
their way past the mercenary transport and return to Senator Organa to
negotiate with Lady Aldrete, moving one step closer to saving Master
Denia and stopping the Sarlacc Project.
