(Story Version of how one Smuggler Mission could and should play out)
So I wake up from a long night at Jabba's palace...seems I had too many Jawa Beers and realize I've got a job to do. It would seem Jabba has 200 crates of death sticks he needs shipped off world and as usual wants no attention brought to this little shipment. I head to the back of the palace head hurts worse when the light of 2 noon day suns hits my face but I load the cargo into my ship (Add cargo radial menu) wake up my partnerand launch my YT into Tat space (must travel threw space to do smuggler missions or you fail). My first problem is local cops, weak arse pilots who seem to think they havesome chance of damaging the hull of my bird (this is not a mission agro). Still my beautiful partner Veela seems to get a kick out of blowing themout ofthe sky (all the while singing something about "not taking the sky from me" or something like that). Our drop point is a location outsideof theed so I make the jump and we are off leaving the cops in our wake.
I'm guessing someone at jabba's has a big mouth cause wehave a lot of patrols looking for usin the area when we drop out ofhyper spaceand these guys have more experience the the Tat locals (these are mission agro's).I launch a decoy bio sig (new smugger space skill)and the fools fall for it, lucky for us because there were far too many for me and my partner to take out. We land with out a hitch but getting out of the star port brings a whole new set of problems. The Empire does not like Smugglers and the 2 of us need to get past the scan teams who seem to be waiting for us at theTheed starport exit.
First things first, need to unload the cargo (radial menu, you must unload the cargo) and I give it to Veela to hold. I make it past the scan team and pull a bomb droid....waiting and hoping we don't need to use it,these little babys come in handy when we cant sneak past Imps or cops. Veela with a wink and a smile allows the troopers to scan her and to our surprise she makes it past. Stupid Imps cant tell Death Sticks from Stim's and our paper work is the best. After all I did forge it (False doc forging skill for getting cargo pasts check points). We are off out of the city to meet up with the scum who what's this cargo when our ride is disabled....damn... a bounty hunter (player not NPC) is after Veela, I told her that cargo we did not bring to talus 2 weeks agowould bit us in the arse but the money we made from stealing it was too good to pass up...now we pay the price...or do we.
This BH is a n00b and is sloppy Veela gets the upper hand and with a swift DB we call another ride and head out to the meet point.
Man...this is not our day someone must have tipped off the local thugs cause as we near the drop point we get swarmed....punks they cant hit the broad side of a bantha we take 'em all out no problem and make it to the drop point.
The buyers name is Arrgath (NPC) and by his nervous nature and 5 high lvl guards I start to feel this drop might go south. He requests the goods the decides he would rather kill us then pay us. Great! if we live Jabba is going to have out heads for this run (some missions fail do to thebuyers trying to steal the cargo).
It's a tuff fight Veela and I manage to win but it's a close one...too close, (never fall in love with your partners it just complicates business). We get the cargo back but jabba wants his money not the cargo so what does this mean...yep another Bounty on our heads and no work from jabba till out names are cleared off in terminals....great. Sometimes it don't pay to be a honest Smuggler. Ah well if we can get off this rock we might be able to find a buyer for these sticks and make a few credits for our trouble. But in the mean timeit looks like we will be looking over our shoulders for a week or so. Maybe Black Sun's got a job or two for us. /shrug
Hey SOE, I can dream can't I.

You know, I heard once that if you love someone, you should say it...that person could have a really bad day tomorrow and accidentally light themselves on fire.
