We were already aware that the Technocracy sells Optronics to the Smugglers, in direct defiance of the Star Gods. We have vigorously prodded our Smuggler contacts for answers (-100 score). Rumors have it, they're indeed trading in Shadowtech. Shadowtech itself, it is said, originates from space. If they trade it to Technocracy, they would be doing it in one of the Technocracy's starports. There they can hide amongst the heavy traffic, and there the Technocracy can obscure the dealings - its special status of Optronics producers ties up the hands of Guild-associated watchmen. To investigate it further, we need to somehow get access to Pureblood cities, as well as find names of those involved, to capture and interrogate them.
