Neero, Crime Broker [Nemesis]<\/h3>\n

Copyright Lucasfilm<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

An ambitious Rodian crime broker, Neero is eagerly expanding his influence in The Slice. Avoiding entanglements with larger criminal syndicates, Neero works to cultivate a network of contacts among contraband dealers,\u00a0fences, and slicers across the Mid and Outer Rims. His contacts include professionals with no qualms about providing services on the grey market, allowing Neero to arrange for mechanics and doctors for those on the outside of the law. By keeping abreast of the supply and demand for contraband goods and services throughout the Outer Rim, Neero can make significant profits by exploiting the urgent needs of a variety of clients. Neero runs his operation from a private room in an out of the way spacer’s lounge near the major spaceport on Manda. He is protected by a few subtly placed bodyguards throughout the lounge, but prefers to keep a low profile. Meetings with Neero are understated affairs. He handles all business dealings in a cool, professional manner. Despite operating out of a bar, Neero prefers to remain alert and consumes vine-coffeine. He is known to have a taste for havao tabac.<\/p>\n

Obligation<\/h3>\n

Neero is perfectly happy to provide goods and services, or even a cash loan, for future considerations. Players short on credits but high on needs can turn to Neero for a quick fix in exchange for a new Obligation. For debtors as skillful and ambitious as player characters, the Rodian crime broker sees these loans more as an investment in future labor rather than a risk.<\/p>\n

Neero is always looking for reliable fixers to handle problems for him on a job by job basis. An example of each sort of freelance mission is outlined below:<\/p>\n
