We propose Chandra observations for a sample of 8 highly luminous, local (M_B < -23, z<0.5) emission line galaxies discovered by the QUEST large area objective prism survey. The objects selected have spectra indicative of extremely strong star formation and/or obscured AGN activity. The objects represent the rare (less than 0.1 per square degree) local counterparts to the luminous and more common objects we preferentially see at higher redshifts and could be examples of obscured quasars with hard spectra, the long-sought "Quasar 2's" invoked to explain the X-ray background. Chandra's exquisite angular resolution and sensitivity above 2 keV is key for disentangling the star formation and AGN activity in these objects and measuring the obscuration of any AGN found.
