Pterak Ness was
chosen as the curator for the Museum of Intergalactic Cultures for
three reasons. One is that he is knowledgeable in his subject;
another is that he is skilled in wheeling and dealing when it comes
to handling guests, sponsors and staff members. Most important,
however, is that he seems to possess the willpower required to
oversee the business with fidelity to the desires of his Hutt
masters. The first two points are certainly true for the Arcona
scholar and, for the most part, so is the third.
What the Hutts
don't know, however, is that Pterak is secretly addicted to
glitterstim spice. He started experimenting with the substance as a
means of more closely sharing his appreciation of art objects with
other beings; the limited form of telepathy granted by the drug made
for a communal aesthetic experience. Even so, it has now become a
habit for him, and one that enemies could exploit if they ever
learned of it.

Working at the
Museum of Intergalactic Cultures is a dream posting for Jer Tosek.
After all, it puts him in a position to fulfill his real purpose in
life—a leader in the Blood Cult of M'dweshuu. While working at the
museum, the Gluss'sa'Nikto can meet with potential recruits and even
begin them along the path of indoctrination, all in plain sight. To
that end, Tosek is just biding his time until he and his fellows are
strong to make a move against the Hutt overlords.

In stark contrast
with the knowledgeable and helpful docents, these beings are gruff
and uncompromising. It is their job to see that beings don't take
advantage of the gracious gift that the Hutts are sharing with
society at large.

Using the Museum in an Edge of
the Empire Campaign
This Museum of Intergalactic Cultures can be incorporated in a
campaign in many different ways; a few of the possibilities are
detailed here.
- If the PCs are doing business with the Hutts, the museum could serve as a meeting place for negotiations.
- They could be hired to acquire an important artifact, or to help deliver items for a display; in either case, local pirates might also be interested.
- On the other hand, they could also be hired to steal a valuable item from the museum.
- Alternately, they could be present when someone else attempts to burglarize the institution.
- The PCs could also learn of Ness's addiction or Tosek's cult status, and thus gain leverage over those characters.
