"1000's of Sathar agents..."

I normally only use a particular search engine that produced results for me on an obscure term paper topic in college but recently I did the google FU for star frontiers and was reading some reviews of the game and was startled by the line: &quot;1000's of agents...&quot; in relation to the sathar.<br /><br />I dont know that I ever conceptualized that there could be that many and I suppose the real answer is its up to individual GMs. (I have the distinction of never ever creating a sathar agent NPC)<br /><br />It just never appealed to me.<br /><br />But I suppose if I was to have sathar agents I'd have to ask the questions of How? When? Where? and Why?<br /><br />Do they have handlers? like other spies.<br /><br />If its 1000's then I cant see it being a hap hazard kind of operation but something systematic. <br /><br />Like capturing star liners and subverting the crew and passengers Then the ship returns to the Frontier with a story of a misjump. maybe the worms have whole ships crews as agents who intentionally &quot;misjump&quot; but only jump to hidden sathar base for indoctrination and subversion. Though someone would begin to notice that a certain astrogator has an unusual number of misjumps and it'd raise suspicion.<br /><br />Maybe they have set up a front star line that has a special room on its star liners that doesn't show on deck plans where the cold sleeper births are revived and subverted to the worms will then put back into cold sleep. The regular journey class and first class passengers are never touched to preserve the cover. A small operation like that would spread 1000s of agents in a short time. The room could be found but the agents spread throughout the frontier would be tough to track.<br />Maybe the discovery is made when 1st class or journey class passengers are grabbed because the agents are behind in their quota or because the worms ordered it for the particular value of those passengers.<br /><br />Maybe they insinuate themselves in the under side of society in the criminal element. It gives them a layer of security as fellow criminals dont go out of their way to talk to the police- only when they're looking to deal. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
