(The "DM Scraps!" series is a collection of assorted notes from my own tabletop adventures. I am sharing them in hopes of providing some inspiration and insight into what goes on behind my DM screen. They are raw and unedited, but I will highlight details that I find interesting to look back on. Enjoy!)
This episode showcases my notes for an adventure using the excellent Star Wars based Edge of the Empire system by Fantasy Flight Games.
The adventure starts with our merry band of smugglers chasing a shipment of weapons being shipped to an Imperial base. In the following skill challenge, I use a series of asterisks to track the level of difficulty for each skill check (Difficulty is determined by adding a certain number of difficulty dice to your dice pool.)
FOLLOWING THE WEAPONS SHIPMENT:
ASTROGATION ***
THE JACKDAW has been waylaid by a band of spice dealing gangsters and looted for supplies. The gangsters are led by ARMIN DAX and were hired by rebel leader Captain Wyrnarn.

Catching up to the ship will allow the players to encounter ARMIN and negotiate or fight for the release of the cargo.
COERCE **** to make ARMIN give up
NEGOTIATE *** to convince ARMIN to abandon his deal
COMPUTERS ** learn who ARMIN was working for.
ARMIN’S SHIP: FIRESPRAY
ARMIN may direct you to MON GAZZA for work and intel.
There is a nearby Shadowport in MON GAZZA which you could gain information about this gang and the rebel activity on Barcanis, but THRAX is searching this region for revenge and collecting the bounty on your head.
MON GAZZA DRIFT
OSKARA’S SISTER is on this planet, recently relocated from Ryloth to work as a spice miner. Her freedom could be bartered through the UNDERGROUND PODRACING CIRCUIT operating in abandoned mining tunnels. The workers often negotiate their freedom through gambling on the podraces.
In order to win the podrace, the crew should acquire a pod from a retired racer called MALKUS “GUNDARK” GRIMMORE. MALKUS retired after a racing accident that resulted in the death of a competitor. He is reluctant to race himself, but has his racer, the BURNING SHADOW is available for use if it is repaired.
Ways to get MALKUS to provide his racer:

THE WOOKIE SITUATION
A NAGAI named VERRIK is also here, making arrangements with a group of TRANDOSHANS for purchasing wookie slaves. The TRANDOSHANS have also made sales to MOFF PODRICK
for his ORBITAL RECREATIONAL MENAGERIE in the RINTONNE SYSTEM.
VERRIK will interact with MARXIS and possibly lead the group into an ambush in the SPEEDER JUNKYARD.
CANTINA: SUGAR & SPICE
MARXIS is a regular here, a bounty hunter who will probably try to take the crew in for the bounty on their heads. He’s not dumb, he will wait until the crew leaves to make his move, but in the meantime he will attempt to poison their drinks before they leave. PERCEPTION *** or SURVIVAL *** to detect the poison. RESILIENCE **** to resist its effects.

THE CUTTING EDGE CLINIC
DOCTOR EVAZAN is also here, seeking help with his PROJECT STARSCREAM. He needs medical supplies for his work, and will pay handsomely in knowledge as well as credits and free MEDICAL SUPPLIES.
Looting his MEDICINE CABINET provides one STIMPACK and some AVABUSH SPICE

DR EVAZAN wants them to invade the IMPERIAL MEDICAL CENTER and steal a NERVESPLICER.
THE SACRED HEART IMPERIAL MEDICAL CENTER is an Imperial base dedicated mainly to the rehabilitation and study of spice addicts. in actuality, the doctors here are observing the effects of various spices on the physiology of the patients and using them as test subjects. This is OPERATION: STARDUST.
The front of the center is guarded by a LOCKOUT MECHANISM and fills the room with DIOXIS GAS. A PROTOCOL DROID named TC-19 runs the front desk.
Checking yourself in as a patient will bring you to the lounge/observation where they will subject you to testing after having a discussion about your personal medical history.
