He gave Dameron a skeptical look, before his eyes slid over to focus on his
target, listening.
"The rate's eight thousand peggat per passenger, two hundred for large
cargo," he gestured to Dameron, "And an extra hundred if it's dangerous.
Dealing in credits gets you a conversion fee." He'd named a high
price, but that was normal for bartering. But that wasn't the detail that
would matter.
Peggats were Hutt currency, but the First Order liked to operate in areas
where they were available. The coins themselves had value for their metal
content, which the First Order had been stockpiling for years. Dealing in
peggats would mark him as someone who was willing to work either in Hutt
Space, for the First Order, or both.
He took another seemingly inadvisable mouthful of his drink, putting a hand
to his collar as he swallowed it down. There was no burn, thanks to the
neutralizer. "But, I'm doing a run from here to Anthan soon. I'd be
willing to negotiate the price for a tag along." Edge of the sector, mixed-species
population, notable for a high-atmospheric resort for the hyper-rich. New
Republic territory, but identified as a possible area of First Order
clandestine activity. It hadn't been mentioned in recently intercepted
transmissions, however. Enough plausible room to make it a coincidence
rather than the deliberate bait it was.
