I posted this a while back: --- Somewhere on Abraxis... The bar is dimly lit, and small circular tables sit seperated by small walls around the edges.

Y'know the thing with the stuff going down on Siidriilnd? The coup, yes. Yeah well, I'm not the best armed individ- or - well - you'd think otherwise with my profession and all but I can't fire a gun to save my life. *Deep sigh* I'll pay you to hire some good mercenaries, and then we'll get down to business when you have it.

I didn't think you'd wan- If you don't return with the weapon this time, I'll be very displeased. ...I suggest you get going. --- And while I wasn't originally intending for it to be a Republic location...

I don't want to post anything until I know for sure it's kosher for me to have a group of mercs infiltrate a weapon-testing facility that was never mentioned before now on a planet that was never mentioned before now.

How else do you expect them to regularly oppress their civilians? Considering they keep their secret weapons well hidden (Dark Echo is the only reason the Alliance know such facilities exist, let alone know where they are, and they only knew recently) I doubt it would ever happen unless your characters are waist-deep in a conspiracy.

Drat. Well, it was an idea. Geh... It's much harder to make things happen when you're constantly terrified you'll screw up and break the universal canon.
