Will NPC Primes be able to be turned into Force Primes?

Quote:Imperial Disarray

Location: Tiers 5 and 7
Requirement: Must not be affiliated with The Empire or Imperial Navy
Difficulty: Moderate (5,000 to 10,000 words, dependent on quality) + Risk of Imperial Bounty
Reward: 300 OM, Entrance into an anti-Empire revolutionary cell, Rebel Comm. Key (Flavor Item – allows encrypted DV connection with your group)

The bottom ‘half’ of Coruscant is rife with unrest. If it isn’t your run-of-the-mill thugs and sociopaths making life hard for regular people, it’s the Empire’s crackdowns on any sort of ‘off the books’ trade exchanges that go on between citizens in the lower tiers.

Whether you’re a lover of liberty, a foe of ‘the establishment,’ or just someone looking to make some money out of a shady situation, there are various ‘organizations’ in the lower tiers that seek to profit from a weakening of the central bureaucracy. Through whatever means, you stumble across a representative from one such agency. In pursuit of ‘liberty and freedom,’ they require some means to fight back against the Empire.

Your group may have plenty of plans for you to pick from. Perhaps there is a factory down on Tier 7 needs to… be repossessed, even if it just long enough to steal it all and burn it down. Perhaps they want you to be the ‘front man’ and strike some sort of Imperial target before their ‘clean up’ crew arrives. Maybe there's a politico on the lower tiers who's a little too flush with Imperial blood money. Maybe a business owner has been preaching the word of the Empire just a little too much. Either way, meet your revolutionaries, do their dirty work. You'll be congratulated with some OM and the respect of these revolutionaries once you finish.

Quest Stipulations – Make contact with anti-Empire group down on Tier 5. Receive assignment. Complete assignment. Return to Tier 5.

Just wanted to ask a quick question about this quest.

Is there a specific agency we have to run into or can we create one for the quest? I am working on Gizmo Labs right now, which fits the bill for one of these organizations (anti-Empire, has a mission to disrupt the Empire, has an NPC Prime as leader). The only difference is they're located in an "underground" lab on Tier 4, not 5 or 7. The mission they want Dexter to go on will be on Tier 5.

Is all that okay?

Thanks!

These are called Power-Up Boosts, and they work exactly the same way as regular ol' Stat Upgrades, except that they increase the number of points you have to allocate on your Power-Ups, Powered-Up Forms and Assists.

This isn't just a no, its a "Nope, lol, not even".  I am confused as to how you would think this is even possible. Are you not using the same criteria to judge your own moves as you do others? I hardly think you would approve someone else's move like this.

Because powerups/super utilities last longer? Because this is a very short-term boost? Because the drawbacks accommodate it? Because this doesn't actually change stats (although it achieves a similar effect). For the person under the effects of this move, they don't feel twice as fast. Everything else is slower. And a bullet travelling at half speed isn't going to be that much easier to dodge, depending (but yeah, they can see someone aiming in slo-mo, etc.). I mean, I'll just bump the charge time or something, or add some other drawback to try and make it work. 

Also... you sorta can "double things". Like charging an attack for twice as long. Time manipulation already lets you increase/decrease charge times and the speed of yourself, allies and enemies proportionally - it's just highly limited (the rules don't specify by how much, but I always tend to picture it as being just enough to let you or your bros do something a little bit faster at the cost of fatigue - maybe like by 10 or 20% or so, idk). Haste is taking that to an extreme and I'm attempting to add appropriate drawbacks. If you think there's something I need to add to make this work, go ahead and say so. Right now, it's letting one ally do twice as much while Viola literally can't do anything, and it has a charge time and high fatigue cost.

Generally, I tend to leave the final ruling on higher power moves to other staffers. If this move came along to me, I'd probably think, "I dunno, but I think you've got the right sorta drawbacks there. I'll leave it to another staffer."

You assume? Can we get a definite answer? I'd like to know if assists can use power ups/Supers/SP in general, please.
