Enron setting is a great idea:
Starting with the easy idea:
A player working for MegaEnron as a trader taps into some hints of information that the sales of industrial gases to the Imperial Military are bogus. Further inquiries reveal that the Imperial Military (Self-motivated, Rogue Admiral?) is in on it.
The player characters (PC) are brought into the fold to investigate. Some could investigate from within (corporate espionage), others could travel spaceward to verify that the outer-rim planets that are supposedly being mined for gases are in fact devoid of the industrial bases needed for harvesting.
The closer the PCs get to the source, the harder MegaEnron plays. In deep space, MegaCorps can play hardball. So instead of a little intimidation, MegaEnron unleashes its full wrath including sending assassins after the group, and playing hardball by blackmailing the characters (holding girlfriends, wives, parents as hostages).
Seed: Hey..this company MIGHT be corrupt.
Push: After further inquiries, assassins let the characters know they are on to something here. THe assassinations push them off planet. Off planet, the Rogue Imperial Admiral and his troops pursue the group in their tiny ship.
Pull: What exactly is MegaEnron upto? What branch of the government (Imperial body) is corrupt? Why? How will exposure have political ramifications for the Imperium?
Finally, the players could pull a Charlie Sheen (from WallStreet) and team up with MegaEnron's Chief rival for assistance in not only staying alive, but taking MegaEnron down...because after the murders of family, friends...the players want payback.
