Department of Ebon Affairs

The Department of Ebon Affairs will help Operatives deal with the ebb side of an investigation should the Operative be unable to do so. If the nature of the BPN requires a more detailed examination of an Ebon related issue the Department may offer help but usually only to Operatives of reasonable SCL.

-Karl Needy. Shop Manager. 900sd. Deceased.
