Black Market (propaganda)


Black Market represented a propaganda poster utilized by the Republic to motivate its populace to inform on instances of unauthorized trade. The visual showcased a crate labeled on the surface as containing "Power converters," while revealing an interior filled with items such as at least four DL-44 heavy blaster pistols along with various blaster components. The text, written in High Galactic, prominently displays "There's a reason it's called the Black market" at the top, with the words "Black market" being significantly larger. Below, in orange lettering, the poster conveys the message: "Shadowy dealings only benefit those who operate from the shadows: Our Enemies! Republic Law demands that you report all unauthorized trade," with the phrase "Our Enemies" emphasized in yellow.
