Plea Bargain

Player Handout 4: Hukno Rit, Human Male

• Hukno Rit is currently living in Tolea Biqua. He had been a waiter for the Cantina Oceana but left after being disabled in a fight with a CTA skip pilot.
• (Com Contact) Hukno confirms he was in a fight at the cantina and, yes; it was with a CTA skip pilot. Hukno relates he was paid to provoke the skip pilot. After the fight was over he had a few broken ribs and a bit of internal bruising, however, nothing to serious. He was
then taken out to the loading docks where he was struck across the side of the face, breaking his jaw and fracturing the side of his skull. The skull damage resulted in a partial paralysis of his left side.
• With the help of an associate he filed suit against the skip pilot and the CTA, claiming the skip pilot fractured his jaw and disabled him. The case was set to go to court when the doctors determined the damage to his head was permanent. CTA agreed to settle out of court for a large sum of creds. What has burned in Hukno’s mind was the fact he received less than 10% of the settlement. His associate kept the remainder and forced him to move to Tolea Biqua by threatening to go to the authorities and exposing Hukno as a fraud. Hukno’s associate has pulled this stunt several times and was also behind the attack on Di’San, having paid Rysko and Kalani to set him up. He also suspects his associate killed Rysko after the fight was over. He probably plans to take a majority of the settlement he plans on getting for Rysko’s mother. Hukno no longer cares about the threat and is willing to tell all, provided certain agreements can be reached.
• KEY: Hukno will only tell the heroes who was behind the stunt if they promise to protect him and help him start a new life. Cyreno Taegan will agree to take care of Hukno if he testifies in Di’Sans’ defense. The heroes will be dispatched to collect him and bring him to Cularin.
• KEY: (After getting approval from Cy and via com.) With a great deal of reluctance, Hukno will explain it was Larimhor who put him up to the stunt and paid him to provoke the skip pilot. It was also Larimhor who provided the legal counsel to sue CTA. And it was Larimhor
who intentionally broke his jaw after the fight to get a larger settlement and promised to pay Hukno a large percentage of the settlement. Which he never did.
• Larimhor must be the motivation behind the attack on Di’San and would not hesitate to kill Rysko in order to frame Di’San. Rysko has an immense dislike for the large corporations that seem to be springing up across the galaxy. Whatever the motivation is, he goes out of his way to make life as difficult as possible for them.
