Smuggler 101
Today’s Friday Feature showcases a write-up by community member Gin’bilu’alelu about the Smuggler Profession. Learn tips, tricks, and more! Thank you, Bill!
Quick with a joke, but quicker with a blaster.
Taking the jobs and the risks that the others won’t.
Star Wars-y and iconic.
Smugglers are as integral to the Star Wars galaxy as the Jedi Knights and X-Wing pilots are. After all, it was not Ben Kenobi that made the Kessel Run in twelve parsecs, nor was it Princess Leia that conned her way into ownership of Cloud City. But take heed as you begin your journey into scum and villainy, newcomer; even the best Smugglers get boarded sometimes. And when that day comes, you had best be ready.
