Take on faction contracts

Get through False Flag and you’ll unlock contacts from within the underworld. Your first, Danka, opens the door. She’s a Broker and—like the many others you’ll meet along your adventure—she’ll offer Syndicate contracts that pay upon completion.
Many of these contracts prove exceptionally simple. They’re delivery or pick-up missions and pay a few hundred credits apiece. However, some will offer you significantly more credits for more complex and harrowing jobs, while others will provide upgrade materials for your blaster, speeder, or spaceship.
