Then, she would visit a couple of smuggler acquaintances and an information broker who owed her a favor and ask about the sector their target is located and what they could possibly meet there. Mostly, her investigation would resolve around two questions: are there any known pirate activity there and did they see any smugglers or scavengers in the area.<br/><br/><em>Not sure about this - do I need to do a roll for the success of "information gathering"?
