A Venture in Diplomacy

Brainstorming ideas, all ideas welcome, feedback is important: kicking around ideas for a new adventure for the crew of the CFMS Venture (Mooks awithout Number) and thought it should be diplomacy based with limited or toned down combat. Looking for ideas for encounters, challenges, plot, bad guys. Open to anything though my first idea was to center the story on Clarion and involve some of the upper crust but I have no commitment to that.
