TIMELINE OF THE MASSANI DIRECTORATE:

3629 BBY || 24 ATC

• The Massani Directorate is founded by a core group of spacers, tired of being manipulated by the Republic and Empire for their own needs, and interested in finding alternative ways to solve the galaxy’s problems through the study of science and the force.

 

• Three core branches are created: Research, Security, and Acquisitions.

 

• A small research base is established on Hoth. There, a variety of exotic flora conditioned to withstand the extreme temperatures are studied and tested.

 

• Hoth produces astounding results, allowing the Massani Directorate to develop an experimental virus that proves to be especially effective at killing. Testing commences and numerous encampments of Republic Soldiers are killed. Benefactors in the form of Sith nobles see potential and provide additional funding. 

3628 BBY || 25 ATC

• Two strains of the new biomodification are created and sold for millions of credits at market, cementing the Massani Directorate’s place in the galaxy as an innovative supplier for the war efforts.

 

• A new and far larger research facility is constructed on Alderaan thanks to the funds acquired from the auction.

 

• The Massani Directorate begins to recruit researchers and agents from all walks of life that share their values and commitment to science.

​

• Clandestine operations, private security, high threat response teams and cutting-edge war droids become a staple of the Massani Directorate's business.

SIMPLE DICE RESOLTUION MECHANICS​​

There are six attributes, each of which can range from a score of 1 to 10. These scores provide both the 'defense' and the 'modifier' for the attribute. A single D20 die is rolled, plus the bonus of the attribute. All tests have a difficulty of 15. This translates to a character with a +1 bonus to having a 25% chance of success, and a character with a +10 bonus of having a 75% chance of success on any given test.

CHARACTER ADVANCEMENT

Character advancement using Scoundrel is simple and quick. When a character advances in rank within the guild, they earn two attribute points that they can place in two different attributes. In addition, characters gain bonus wound thresholds, equipment options, and of course, class features. Characters are quick to create using a points based build system.

EPIC MOMENTS & GLORIOUS DEFEATS

Scoundrel is a difficult system, the Massani Directorate focuses on the gritty and dark side of the Star Wars universe. Sith and Jedi are great and all, but we're focused on telling stories that relate to the rank and file. Corrupted imperial governors, rogue droids, plague outbreaks, corporate-sponsored clandestine operations, suppressing local populations and intelligence gathering.
