Locations: Nal Hutta (Starting planet)
  • Ishtaas (Starting city)
    • Nearby Marketplace
      • Beneforce Thrift Shop
      • Chobu's Medical Clinic
      • Junk and Scrap Trading Market
      • Nal Hutta Surplus

  • Major Hutts:
    • Arddona
    • Narhir
    • Boregga
  • Minor Hutts:
    • Kelmo the Hutt: The newest of the main hutts, Kelmo showed up on the scene only a few years ago, and already has the biggest gang out of the other minor hutts.
    • Jungga the Hutt
    • Cadena the Hutt: Used to be one of the four major hutts in the area, but a series of accidents, "accidents", attacks and roberries reduced him to being one of the little guys again.
    • Orleon the Hutt

  • Rough Rancors:
    • Johnny Rancor Junior: A herglic male who took over ownership of the company fairly recently, when Johnny Rancor Senior passed away. Despite having the same contacts and drive as his father, people didn't take him as seriously as they had the old man, and now the Rough Rancors are where they are today. He's still got connections, but now his manpower is basically... you. He was training to be a chef before his dad started the company and he changed careers - now his cooking skills only get applied to heating up the mercenaries' grainmush.
    • Talanis Rancor: A cerean female who acts like mission control for the Rancors. She can give updates on situations, and she can help you avoid minor trouble using her slicing skills - but the price of the spikes she burns saving your ass get taken out of your pay. Is also co-owner of the Rancors, given that Johnny's married to her.
    • Coworkers
      • Adriac Thalesh: A human swordfighter who doesn't like to talk about himself or his past too much.
      • Eiron Mal’tav: A human pilot who's a decent shot with a blaster and can repair things pretty well.
      • Three people who are also mercs and are usually off on other jobs, but they're not player characters so forget about them for now - Dejkaz, Earl, Sharr.

And I cry racism towards Hob for assuming the humans got the jobs because of their race and not because the Rancors are a bunch of desperate bastards. :p

Fera is an equal-opportunity assassin, at least. If you feel your right to possess differing physiology and vital organ placement has not been respected, you can contact her at [the rest of this paper is soaked in green blood].

No, and you've been asked to leave before, please don't post here again.

Anyway, I summed up the values of everyone's starting equipment, so you all start with credits inversely proportional to the worth of your equipment. Then I threw a little extra at Hob since he's got one less ability than everyone else. Don't worry too much about the credits for now, since you'll be doing jobs that pay you much more than what you all have soon enough. For now if it helps, you can imagine that characters low on credits recently bought some pricey item, and those with more money are pinching their pennies.

If you see a fully armored republic trooper woman lining up for food on the homeless shelter, that's certainly not Laira. No sir. She's a weird one, won't even take off her helmet.

If I'm sure of something it's that I'm not sure of anything.

#13: Sep 9th 2013 at 12:25:11 PM

won't even take off her helmet

Then how does she use her spoon?tongue

But your food and a place to stay are two of the perks of being employed (other perks include having access to all of the contacts of the boss so you get better jobs that just any random merc could get, some minor support from the slicer if you ever wind up in trouble, and enough space to park and stow any items you wind up buying) - all the gruel you can eat. So the credits are mainly going to be used for whatever other uses you come up with, like bribing people, buying equipment, buying drinks, going to a fancy restaurant, etc.

Sounds good, sounds good. Are we figuring, like you said, that 1c = $1USD for the purposes of estimating what stuff costs and all that?

It's been fun.
nman Since: Mar, 2010
#15: Sep 9th 2013 at 2:22:03 PM

Yes. Sort of. For smaller things, like food and whatnot, then yeah, it's almost spot on. But it gets trickier with other stuff, like armor and guns and jetpacks, which are in the 100-2000 credit range for lower end items of those categories, and are a bit different than what you'd pay for a Glock or AK47. I think civilian or military landspeeders are comparable to buying a car or light/medium duty truck, respectively, and then smaller cargo starships are probably comparable to a semi or fire truck (though the lower end used cargo ships will hold their value more than a semi/fire truck does). Then you have to factor in whether the thing you're buying is by the owner or by a middleman making a profit, whether the thing is used or new, high end or low end, if the person likes you, etc.

Hopefully you guys don't move too quick since I'm still trying to get a good price range estimate on things like fighters, bombers, gunships, cruisers, frigates, and dreadnoughts of varying quality and condition.[lol]

Ah Fantasy, may you edit your post?

Laira is going to go with you and she kind of introduced herself and tried to shake Hob's hand.
