Event Type: Mayhem
Influence Cost: None
Participants: Unlimited
Timeslots: Early Evening
Description: The Eagle has called for the people to take to the streets and do a thing that seems alien to most Imperials… protest, or more pointedly protest the Dark Council! Will you get the people to rise up or will you crack down on these fools and show them that the power of the Empire is absolute.
Rules: First the player must find the action make an Underworld or Streetwise check at Average, if they decoded the correct message on Day 3 they get a boost die to this roll. This can be skipped but will increase the difficulty by one for all checks. Failure on this check grants a setback die on all further actions.
Any player can utilize Darth Malgus Support and bypass this using those rules.
For the Eagle
First you have to get the people into the streets!
Rally Round the Family: The player needs to stoke the fires of the people, this can be done with a successful Leadership or Deception check at Average or they can make a basic Influence check. If this roll fails add a setback die to the next roll.
Next complete one of the Following. Completing this step increases Suspicion by 10, the player can make the Optional Hard Deception check to avoid suspicion at the end.
- Pocket Full of Shells: The player needs to make a Combat skill check, this Average unless it is Lightsaber then it is a Hard check because why would a Sith be railing against the Dark Council? Successful roll here increases Suspicion by 10, by 15 if Lightsaber is used.
- Feed the War Cannibal: The player makes an impassioned speech to the people to march and show the Dark Council they will resist their corruption! Make a Coercion or Leadership check at Hard. Successful roll here increases Suspicion by 10.
- Come with it Now: The eagle demands action and if we must destroy what has been built so be it. Make a Hard Skullduggery or Mechanics check to lead the masses on a tour of property destruction and looting!
For the Empire
Choose two of the following, the player only needs to succeed at one to be successful but every point that the Eagle scores is worth two Empire points when compared to see who is more successful.
- Remove the Dissident: The player makes an Average Perception or Underworld check to find the leader of the mob and have Public Security take them into custody.
- Nothing to See Here: The player makes a Hard Deception or Coercion check to convince the masses that there is nothing to see, go home and forget about this.
- We are the Law: Make a Combat check at Hard, if Lightsaber this is at Average, to show these dissidents who is truly in charge.
- Logic Dictates: The player makes a Hard Lore or Education check to show these ignorant masses exactly why opposing the Empire is folly.
Trust in Darth Malgus: An optional step available only if they support Darth Malgus, it does not apply points to counter the Eagle but if successful will grant the player an additional 1500 credits for their service. The player makes a Cool check at Average to show these masses what a true hero of the Empire looks like and that they should be thankful for the protection of Darth Malgus in these times of strife.
Rewards/Outcome: If supporting the Eagle and successful in getting the people into the streets then the Eagle will procure up to three items totaling 8,000 cr or less. If there is excess credits they are lost they only can get equipment or attachments. Supporting the Empire will grant the player upon success a reduction in Suspicion by 5.
