STAR WARS
EDGE OF THE EMPIRE
CHAPTER IV:
MEDICINE RUN
In the days of the empire, an honest cargo-hauler finds himself on the wrong end of Imperial tariffs. Labeled a smuggler, Cedric Valeran and first mate Amelia Crane are forced into the Outer Rim to earn a living. As their jobs become more dangerous, they hire a shistavanen named Tagg Rosk to provide some much needed muscle to their crew. During their travels, Amelia meets a twi'lek named Shala Kinsa who had fallen on hard times and was addicted to the spice ryll. Taking interest in her life, Amelia brings her aboard to give her companionship and aid her in her attempt to break her addiction.
After accepting a dangerous job to smuggle medicine to a prisoner of the street gang, known as the Caike Syndicate, the crew travels to Caike. The city is a battleground, as rival gangs violently compete for supremacy. After finding the city blue prints, the crew decides to descend into the sewers and enter the Syndicate's residence from a sewer access in the yard.

After finding the city blue prints, the crew decides to descend into the sewers and enter the Syndicate's residence from a sewer access in the yard.
The crew traverses the sewer system and find the ladder leading into the Syndicate's complex. There is a tunnel made beside the ladder, and w deathly smell comes from within. The crew decide to avoid it and just head up the ladder. Under the cover of night, they jump a pair of guards with a stun grenade and throw them into the sewer.
They slip inside and take out another guard. After accessing the blueprints, they find the prison level. They take an elevator down and learn that the door inside the holding block can only be opened by one of the guards already inside. They smash the small window and stand off with one guard after shooting the other when he tried to reach the alarm. Cedric stays to make sure the guard doesn't trigger the alarm, and the others head back to the computer terminal to try and open the door.
Amelia manages to open the door, but her unauthorized access triggers a complex-wide alert. With guards on their way, the crew get ready to cover Cedric. Meanwhile, Cedric takes out the last guard and delivers the medicine to the captured ithorian. There is a second prisoner there, and claims he will get Cedric a reward for freeing him and returning him to his gang. Cedric frees him and they head towards the rest of the crew.
Guards catch them in the hall, but are defeated. They make their way to the sewer access, but a sniper in a watch tower spots them and starts taking shots. They escape, but the freed prisoner is shot dead. Free and clear, they over hear that the ithorian escaped by himself, and they collect their reward.
Looking for work, they find a man wanting them to deliver crates filled with E-11 blasters to a moon and deliver them to the Rebel Alliance. The crew takes the shipment to the system, and encounter an Imperial Tartan-class patrol vessel, but it seems to pay them no mind.
On the moon, they deliver the cargo and exchange the credits, with the additional 10,000 promised to their hirer, Mohandai Strum. As they are leaving, the rebel transport ship explodes from within, killing all hands. In orbit, the patrol craft intercepts them, and thanks them on behalf of the Empire. They insist they dock to receive their part of the payment. Cedric punches their hyperdrive and sets off for Tatooine, keeping the 10k.
With a new bounty on them, placed by the Empire, they arrive at Tatooine looking for their next job.
