  Jel ko A1 daran i s  a member o f  the wl ing aris- 
  tocracy o f  the planet Koridonne. 
  He i s  a member o f  
  the lesser nobility and, while not terribly power- 
  ful, his landed interests provide him with suffi- 
  cient funds t o  maintain a starship and pursue a r i c h  
  man's hobby. 
  That hobby i s  hunting exotic animals 
  on even more exotic worlds.

  His hunting occasionally takes him t o  planets 
  where the 'game' i s  protected by either local o r  
  Imperial authority. 
  This requires him t o  be wary 
  of the people he hires. 
  Player characters can 
  encounter Jel ko i n  some o f  the "sleazier" starport 
  bars i n  the fringe sectors. 
  He i s  a t a l l  slender 
  man with shaggy brown hair and an overgrown mustache. 
  One other noticeable physical feature i s  his one 
  green and one b b n  eye (a t r a i t  common t o  the nokil- 
  i t y  o f  Koridonne). 
  His l e f t  arm i s  also horribly 
  scarred f r o m  an unfortunate encounter with a Braalian 
  snow cat (it i s  his bicep that i s  chewed up and i t  
  w i l l  not be visible when he i s  wearing long sleeves).

  also be used to bolster the current contingent of 
  security troops within the colony. Employment will 
  be on a week to week basis with a minimum of one 
  month's duty and a two week notification period 
  before employment is terminated. Payment will be 
  20 thousand credits for the entire unit (including 
  expenses) on a weekly basis, with a minimum 
  payment of 75 thousand credits. Quarters and 
  essentials will be provided by D.M. Ltd., and an 
  off-planet repatriation bond will be issued to each 
  man in the unit.

  1-2 All is as it is represented above. The acts of 
  sabotage are the work of a disgruntled 
  employee. The chances of his being captured 
  should be adjudicated by the referee. 
  3-4 The sabotage is being conducted by several 
  men hired by a rival mining corporation. Their 
  chance of being captured should be ad- 
  judicated by the referee.

  5-6 The sabotage is being conducted by two men 
  - 
  hired by Monro Tavitt. The sabotage will be a 
  "smoke screen" used to set up an unfortunate 
  accident which will kill the mining colony's 
  security chief. This will rid Monro Tavitt of a 
  man who has been blackmailing him for over 
  a year. The chance of Tavitt being exposed as 
  the man behind the sabotage, should be 
  adjudicated by the referee.
