Artifact The Traitor's Smirk

[Charndley]

The Traitor's Smirk is a solid aurodium bust of noted Gungan politician and military commander Jar Jar Binks. Fashioned by master craftsmen at an anonymous request, the bust was a conversation piece amongst the more tasteless and vulgar of Imperial nobility. It was rechristened under it's current name after being confiscated by a fledging New Republic in the days following the fall of the Empire.

Intended for display somewhere in the Core, the shipment that carried The Traitor's Smirk was hijacked by criminals. Law enforcement agencies gathered very few clues about it's whereabouts, aside from whispers of it being transported off-world. Since that time, rumoured sightings of the bust have become somewhat common. Traitor's Smirk has been reported in the collection of no less than seven Hutts, or on display in the Royal Palace on Naboo, or stashed away in a long-forgotten Jedi Temple.

The Traitor's Smirk stands as a testament to the follies that face politicians and how easily one may be manipulated. It's also probably worth a ridiculous amount of credits.


Intent

This is intended to be an artifact for PCs to acquire through criminal means or heists. It is of questionable artistic value and exceptionally gaudy. It is, however, worth a large amount of credits due to it's craftsmanship and the sheer amount of aurodium it consists of.
