From publisher blurb:
Red Crystal abuse has become an epidemic in the Sonora sector. This naturally forming drug has overtaken the recreational drug market sector wide. While it is well known that Red Crystal can only be found naturally occurring on a few outlying worlds somehow the organized criminal elements in the sector seem to have an endless supply.
The most populated cities and worlds in the Sonora sector have been overrun with drug addicts sleeping in the streets. Violent crime is way up in the sector as addicts are desperate to come up with the money needed to feed their increasingly expensive habits. Gang violence between various criminal factions is at an all time high. Something has to give.
The Sonoran Interstellar Police (SIPOL) are frantic. All of their attempts to stop the flow of Red Crystal have failed to this point. Now they want to take more direct action at the gangs involved in creating this epidemic.
They want someone on the inside who can find out what is going on and lead them to make the kinds of arrests that will shut down the biggest organized crime outfit in the sector.
The Yamaguchi Syndicate is a violent outfit of criminals and thugs. The syndicate began as a cartel from the Old Worlds but has expanded into the new territories. They are ruthless and violent. One of their bosses has begun operations on an outlying world in the sector known as Zayon IV. From SIPOL intelligence reports this boss’s operations on Zagon IV have not produced any significant income for the syndicate. It is believed that if it does not make money soon the syndicate will have him killed soon. This could be a perfect opportunity for someone new to join the syndicate.
SIPOL offers CR 100,000 per person for the travelers to infiltrate the Yamaguchi Syndicate by whatever means is necessary and find out information leading to the arrest of the most senior members of the syndicate.
