EPISODE I
In this scenario, the PCs attempt to win a smuggling com-
petition for Bargos the Hutt. If they succeed, Bargos will win
over a contract from a spice merchant fro Olstra. If they fail,
Bargos will get angry.
THE USUAL CALL
The PCs get their usual comlink call from Bargos. Read aloud
or paraphrase.
“Greetings gentlebeings. We have
a new opportunity. One of Olstras
drug merchants, the Falleen Crix
Bathina, has heard the rumors that
her organization is in chaos. He
has reached out to us to give us a
chance to win the shipping con-
tract. I want my best guys on the
job, and that is you. Rendezvous
with him at his drop off point at
Ylesia and see what he wants you
to do. And make sure you get that
contract!”
The PCs probably get going right away. With Bargos provid-
ing them a temporary com code, they will not have to worry
about roaming around in Hutt Space (it is of course only valid
for Ylesia).
ARRIVAL
When they arrive, they can hail traffic control to get directions
to Bathina. His manor is situated beautifully at the shores of
a small lake, on the outskirts of a small city. He seems to have
lots of hired help as well as heavy security. The PCs are direct-
ed to one of the hangar bays located in the main building at
the lowest floor.
Once inside, the PCs are met by a servant droid that shows
them to their quarters, luxurious suites that have large
transparisteel windows overlooking the serene lake. If any PC
wants to stay behind and guard their ship, the droid explains
that there are security all hours of the day and the PCs would
insult the master if they do not trust him.
INTRoductions
After about an hour, the droid returns to their suites and
tells them to follow him for dinner with the master. They are
guided to a large dining room with a huge wooden table and
about 40 comfortable chairs. They are met by a charming
Falleen dressed in immaculate clothes and graceful manners.
Any PC with Force Influence powers notices that behind the
graceful curtain there is a will of steel. Two professional look-
ing bodyguards are standing by the doors keeping a close eye
on everyone but from a respectful distance.
There are also three other people present. They are definitely
not at home in this environment and have the look of mer-
cenaries or smugglers about them. They are introduced by
Bathina as Olstra the Hutt’s delegation to this meeting, and
are very curt and short to the point with the PCs. As soon
as the PCs arrive, dinner is served. The food is amazing and
contains some very hard to find ingredients. During the meal,
Bathina asks them many times if the food is to their liking
and tries to accommodate them if they have any request.
The food stores at his mansion are very well stocked and can
produce most items the PCs ask for.
the mission
After dinner, the conversation turns to business. Bathina
explains that he has become a bit worried about the organi-
zational stability of his current preferred shipping partner (to
loud objections from Olstra’s crew). Therefore he proposes a
competition. The crew that makes the fastest delivery will win
the shipping contract for their employer. He adds the follow-
ing:
“Make sure you understand that this is a shipping contest. It is
not a battle nor a fight. I do not want to know of any shooting
matches between you, we have other people for that. This is
about making a delivery as fast and as clean as possible. If I
found out any one of you has injured the other party they will
forfeit the competition.”
Any PC making an Easy Knowledge (Underworld) (1) check
knows that while outright fighting is forbidden, small acts
of sabotage and delaying tactics are probably encouraged
and expected. If asked however, Bathina will err on the side
of caution and state that the PCs should concentrate on the
shipping part of the competition.
“You will get your cargo and the destination tomorrow morn-
ing. I suggest you use the evening for recreation and recuper-
ation. We have a lot of facilities here that you are welcome to
use while you are our guests. Please do not disturb the other
guests though, many of them value their privacy”
ReLAXING
Bathina’s mansion is a huge estate. The main building is about
seven stories high and features four hangar bays on the lowest
level. It has about 500 rooms and some larger recreational
facilities comfortable (or adaptable) to most species. The
PCs have the evening off for relaxation and are free to move
about. The staff will try to help the PCs with most request,
but most guests (there are about 100 guests staying at the
moment) keep to themselves. If the PCs are good at social
skills, they can probably make a few connections here with
the right rolls.
preparation
If the PCs choose to use their time preparing for the compe-
tition instead, there are a few things they can do. The GM
should probably not help them too much with these options
but some are presented here if the PCs try them
Study the astrogation charts: Even if the PCs do not know
where they are going, they know it is very likely they are going
away from this planet. Studying the know routes from this
planet (there is an excellent data store in Bathina’s mansion)
and the surrounding ones will give them a free SUCCESS on
their Astrogation checks in Hutt Space made during the next
24 hours. If the PCs make a Daunting Knowledge (Under-
world) check (or are good guessers) they know that much of
Bathina’s and Olstras operations are located in the Corellian
system. If they choose to study those charts as well, they
receive a free ADVANTAGE on any Astrogation check made
around the Corellian system in the next 48 hours (the charts
found on Ylesia are not as detailed regarding the Corellian
system).
Sabotage the other crews ship: It is easy to find the other
smuggler’s ship in one of the hangar bays on the first floor.
Any staff mechanic around can point it out for them (there are
only a few freighters around, and only one that arrived on the
same day as the PCs). Security in the hangar bay is tight, and
anyone approaching the ship and not matching the crew that
stepped of it are approached and questioned, politely but
firmly. A Hard Deception check (111) and a reasonable
story will allow the PCs to get close enough. If they want to
start working and pull stuff apart, only a Formidable Decep-
tion check (11111) will allow them to make any lasting
damage to the vessel before they are interrupted by security.
If they get the time to work on it, the difficulty of the sabo-
tage are up to the PCs and the GM depending on what they
want to achieve (Mechanics) and how well they want to hide it
(Stealth).
Attempt to discover their destination beforehand: The
only way for them to discover the location of the drop off
point is by slicing the mansions security systems which are
very hard to breach. A Daunting Computers (1111) check
will get them access, A Hard Computers (111) check will
find the right files and an Easy Computers (1) check will
discover the destination. Any double FAILURE on any of these
checks triggers an alarm and the PCs will either be disquali-
fied (without a good story) or put under surveillance for their
entire visit (with a good story and a Hard Deception (111)
check).
The PCs will undoubtedly come up with other ways to prepare
than those listed here. It is up to the GM how hard they are
and how to achieve them. Any aggressiveness toward the
other group will be met with delays (the PCs get their cargo a
couple of hours after the other group) or more severe punish-
ment.
THe competition
The other group of smugglers are a professional outfit that
has been through a lot together. Olstra is no fool and also
sent some of her best people for this job. She already had a
pretty good idea what the competition was and has had time
to prepare some surprises for the PCs along the way.

EPISODE II
Once in space, the PCs need to find the fastest hyperspace
route to Corellia. Using known routes, the PCs first have to
travel to Nal Hutta, then to Kwenn and after that to Corellia.
Use the normal rules for hyperspace travel from the Core
Rulebook and remember the bonuses from Episode I if the
PCs prepared themselves by studying astrogation charts.
If the PCs look for alternate routes, a Formidable Knowl-
edge (Underworld) (11111) check means the PC knows
a shortcut. There is currently a stable underground route
directly from Ylesia to Kwenn. This route takes only 8 hours
but requires a Hard Astrogation (111) check.
TRAVEL TIMES
It is up to the GM exactly how long it takes for the PCs to get
from Kwenn to Corellia, but since it is a pretty significant way
across the galaxy, the assumption is that they should be in
hyperspace for at least a week. This part of the journey is
not that difficult since they probably will travel through well
known systems and not stop for sightseeing, but if the GM
wishes they can throw in some random encounters or hyper-
space obstacles. It is recommended that the PCs will have
to pass some ordinary Astrogation checks just to make sure
nothing goes wrong. They can try to upgrade their astroga-
tion checks to shave additional time of their journey but it is
assumed Olstra’s crew will match their speed unless the PCs
take way too long, in which case the other smugglers will beat
the PCs easily.
ARRIVAL
When finally coming out of hyperspace, the PCs are almost
immediately hailed:
“Unidentified freighter. Please shut down your engines and
prepare to be boarded. We have reason to believe your ship
carries contraband. Cooperate and you will not be harmed. If
you attempt to flee, we will open fire.”
Since the PCs (almost certainly) travel the fastest route
available, Olstra’s crew alerted a corrupt customs officer they
sometimes encounter and told him exactly where to wait,
along with a description of the PCs ship.
Running from the customs vessel is not only hard, since they
are behind the PCs ship, and armed with ion cannons and
have relatively fast engines. The PCs can certainly try this and
might even escape. If they do, they will be wanted by customs
and CorSec will be looking for them.
If they prepare to receive visitors, Lt Daniels will board along
with two of his customs officers. The two officers will begin to
search the ship while Lt Daniels questions the PCs about their
manifest, their cargo and their destination. Since the PCs hard-
ly have had any time to take on cover cargo, they might easily
be exposed here.
Luckily, Lt Daniels does what he always does, looks for a bribe.
He is used to dealing with shipping captains on a regular basis
and explains to the PCs that a first time customary inspection
fee of about 500 credits is normal. Then there are the goods
tariffs and the administration fees and what not, so the whole
fee should land evenly on about 1000 credits. Negotiating with
Lt Daniels is possible but he is quite headstrong and knows he
has all the authority he needs. The two inspectors he brought
with him have worked with him a long time and are used to
overlooking things to make a bit on the side. They will follow his
lead and even though they probably will find the contraband,
a bribe is the prime objective. If the PCs pay the fee up front di-
rectly they will not lose much time, but Lt Daniels will tag them
as easy prey and keep looking for them on further visits.
The PCs can also solve the encounter with violence, although
they will be wanted by CorSec if they subdue or injure the cus-
toms team. Other methods that might work are deception (“uh,
yeah, we have a radiation leak somewhere around here but you
are welcome to look around”) or powerful connections (“I’ll just
be in here, contacting the sector Moff, he is an old friend”). Lt
Daniels is no fool though and is pretty hard to deceive. He is
wary that his superiors find out about his operations though
but needs to be convinced that the PCs actually have these
accidents/connections before he leaves them alone.
If stats for Lt. Daniels are needed, use a typical customs officer
from the rulebook.
