Coruscant Security Force

(http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Coruscant_Security_Force) (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Coruscant_Guard)

The trick of the Coruscant Security Force meter is for the teams to keep it high enough to occupy the CSF agents in the area, but not high enough for them to call in the Imperial Guard, or for the Imperial Guard to take notice and take over the investigation.

The Scale

The CSF meter is a 25 point meter. When it is below 10, there are CSF detectives/droids to spare to look around for people in hidden locations, respond to alarms and similar ways to be a pain. If the meter goes above 15, the section chief begins to worry and calls the Imperial Guard for aid.

Movement

• Big Boom: The Big Boom Turning Point: Like the ISB meter, the CSF meter jumps 10 points when this event occurs.

• Boys in Red: Every time a team of Imperial Guard are deployed, the meter drops by 3 points.

• Occupy Jedi: When the Aldaarainans begin their protest, the CSF meter jumps by 5 points.

Imperial Security Bureau (ISB)

The dreaded Imperial Security Bureau is responsible for all major acts of terrorism and other investigative concerns. This includes, of course, what the players are up to. The ISB meter measures their awareness of the actions occurring in the square, and the amount of resources they're spending on dealing with it, on a 25 point scale. At the beginning of the game, it starts at 1/green.

Adjustment Values

• Time: The meter will decrease by 1 point per hour as ISB analists wait to see if their previous actions have had an effect (or look for patterns).
• The Big Boom: The destruction of the landing platform will instantly add 15 points.
• I'm Listening: Use of the team-to-team comms will increase the ISB meter by 1 point, as they gain new information to work with.

Cards

Increased ISB attention

• The ISB track is rising, and the spider sense is tingling. The eyes are searching, though they may not necessarily be quite that focused. Increase attention from members of the Imperial Security Bureau, or traps, triggers, alarms, etc, that could alert their presence.
• Decreased ISB attention

The ISB track is decreasing. Maybe they are focusing their attention in another area, or on another group (the Alderaanians, the Coruscanti). Either way, they aren’t on the look out quite as much as before. Decrease attention from members of the Imperial Security Bureau, or traps, triggers, alarms, etc, that could alert their presence.

• Increased CSF Attention

The CSF track is rising, and the spider sense is tingling. The cops are on patrol, though they may not necessarily be quite that focused. Increase attention from members of the Coruscant Security Force, or traps, triggers, alarms, blocked off areas, etc, that could alert their presence.

• Decreased CSF attention

The Coruscant Security Force track is decreasing. Maybe they are focusing their attention in another area, or on another group (the Alderaanians, the Coruscanti). Either way, they aren’t on the look out quite as much as before. Decrease attention from members of the Coruscant Security Force, or traps, triggers, alarms, etc, that could alert their presence.

• Boys in Red

The CSF is overwhelmed and has called in backup to deal with some of their bigger problems in policing. They’ve called for SWAT… wait, um… we don’t have SWAT… we have the Imperial Guard. Those lovely armored Boys in Red with their swirly cloaks are going to make appearances. Even if you don’t use a squad or duo, allude to their presence. Regular CSF patrols are drawn off and replaced with focused Imperial Guard units.

• COMPFORCE!!! (*Fistshake*)

Plays at 21 or 22. The ISB is overwhelmed and has called in backup to deal with some of their bigger problems in policing. They’ve called for SWAT… wait, um… we don’t have SWAT… we have COMPForce. Those lovely elitist insane racist bastards are going to make appearances. Even if you don’t use a squad or duo, allude to their presence. Regular ISB patrols are drawn off and replaced with focused COMPForce units.

• You’re Perfect. I Can’t Ask Any of These Characters To Go

The ISB track has been maxed out! Yularen is sending one of his more trusted agents into the field to suss out the issues at hand, potentially making contact with one of the groups or observing them to learn about this other faction.

• They’re Adding Ketchup to the Mayo!

The CSF track has been maxed out! The situation is clearly too dangerous for the regular policing forces and the Imperial guard, with their scary stormtrooper armor in ketchup red, will be our normal forces. They also are seeing ketchup red, and are more aggressive.

• Switchboard Decrypted

The ISB meter is at 20. The ISB have decrypted the PC’s encrypted comms, and now all transmissions are being listened too. Do not reveal this to players. They need to figure it out for themselves, but play it accordingly with appropriate focused attention.
