The Star Wars Rule of Thumb:
All aspects of the Star Wars roleplaying game boil down to a mechanic called the "Star Wars Rule of Thumb."
Pick a difficulty number. If the character's skill roll is equal or higher, he succeeds.
Whenever interpreting the rules during play, keep in mind this basic mechanic. Keep the story moving, focus on the characters, and the players aren't likely to argue about the rules: all they'll care about is the excitement of the game!

Capsule: Nibo the Hutt is the biggest trader in the Sarin Sector, both physically and economically. He deals primarily in luxury goods, recreational drugs, and art objects. After the destruction of his base of operations on Nysar, his personal ship, a modified Action VI transport named the Caravan, was refitted to operate as a portable marketplace and court. A few words at any spacer's bar will disclose his current whereabouts, but he usually stays on Qaeto, Sarius IV, and Phierras. He is quite paranoid and never travels without his armed personal guards and Y-wing escort. Nibo's guards are easily recognized by their sharp, black and tan uniforms, clean-cut appearance, and deadly accuracy with light blaster pistols.

Bounty Hunters
The Slag Syndicate was formed when a large group of Raychroth Corporation security troops incorporated to form a mercenary unit. They are kept on retainer by (and thus funded and equipped by) the Raychroth Corporation to handle major disturbances. Their reputation for indiscriminate destruction has grown to the point that the arrival of the Meltdown alone is enough to break up even the most heated riots. The Syndicate supplements their income with bounty hunting. Few local criminals yield significant bounties, but a few high-profile targets come to the Rim in an attempt to flee Imperial justice. The Slag Syndicate operates in the Sarin and surrounding sectors. They are led by Linn Akto, a female Duro with a foul disposition. Above all else she despises Gerrick Angel, once one of the best members of her crew who left the Syndicate after a near-death experience.

Gerrick Angel is the most peculiar bounty hunter most people have ever heard of. He isn't interested in the money, though with what he can get he makes significant donations to the Brotherhood of the Coming Twilight. He is out to redeem every small time crook and pick pocket he can get his hands on from a life of sin and eternal punishment. The skills he acquired with the Slag Syndicate and his bounty hunter's license merely give him an excuse to get a captive audience. It is rumored that he won't turn a bounty in until the mark confesses all his sins, criminal or not, and swears to serve the Brotherhood for the rest of his life. Perhaps not surprisingly, captives he turns in are usually very willing to pay their debt to society as long as it keeps them away from Angel's pulpit on the Green Lance. Angel is the only major competitor with the Slag Syndicate, and tends to be more successful within the Sarin Sector because he is willing to take smaller bounties rather than expand into other areas. Imperial law regards him as a dangerous lunatic, but no more dangerous than any other bounty hunter. Criminals look on him with derision, but he has quite a bit of popular appeal and a reputation as a plain dealer; a nice change from the usual scum and villainy - until he starts preaching.

Captain Wenrin Gray of the Customs Patrol was a rising star in the Imperial Navy. He comes from a long family line of impressive military leaders, and served the Empire with honor and loyalty. There were a few issues where he could not reconcile the realities of the Empire with his ideals, but he convinced himself that it was all for the greater good. He was a close friend of Andar Momeni, an Ithorian professor of philosophy and history at the University of Cisrak. Whenever he was in the system, Gray would make a stop to discuss the state of the Empire with Momeni. Momeni was charged with sedition and Gray was the first to respond. He discovered that Momeni and a group of students were circulating a banned news rag peacefully protesting the Empire's anti-alien bias. Knowing that other ships were en route, Gray helped Momeni and his students escape on the Defender and stayed behind to take the fall himself.
The person most delighted to find Captain Gray a traitor was Jerl Dodonna, captain of the Protector, a ruthless and ambitious Customs Inspector and longtime rival of Gray. With Gray implicated as an obvious Rebel sympathizer, nothing now stands in the way of Dodonna's promotion to Sector Commander. He tolerates Duros, but hates all other aliens with an unusual ferocity.

The Empire had a secret weapons research lab on Nysar, working on developing a short-lived form of radiation that could be used to flood an area and destroy resistance without impacting the long-term economic viability of the area. Project "Rapid Fire" was all too successful: Imperial scientists inadvertently set up a waveform that caused all of the heavy elements in the planet's core to undergo a chain reaction. Because none of these elements were concentrated or refined, the Nysar did not blow up, but it rapidly became to hot and radioactive to support life.
Y'nill has always been home to the Empire's high security prison (where Wenrin Gray and Rangon Vaglass are currently interred) and now also houses the top secret Rapid Fire research lab, along with a detachment of Imperial Radtroopers.
