Disadvantaged: For most beings in the galaxy, life is a constant battle for survival. Whether on a planet under strict Imperial rule or some backwater moon far from any trade route, the career of a Smuggler becomes and attractive prospect, a way of exchanging the familiar daily struggle for a life full of potential. Work as a Smuggler is not easy, but the dream of one great score to set him up forever keeps him running the hyperlanes.

The Smuggler with a disadvantaged background is tough and a little rough around the edges. He may have lived in poverty, been a slave, worked for an oppressive employer, or otherwise had it hard growing up.

Scoundrels who have experienced the hard life may well have encountered enough villains to consider a life of crime normal. Whether a character with this background is trying to drag himself out or claw his way to the top, his past is sure to come back to haunt him.

Independence: Not everyone thrives under Imperial rule. For some, the ability to make their own decisions, and their own mistakes, means everything. This Smuggler wants to choose which jobs to take and which to pass on. He pays off debts as quickly as he can, so he is beholden to no one. Ultimately, he wants to be his own boss, which probably means owning his own ship and developing the skills to function independently.

High Risk: 10. The Smuggler just can't help it; he has to take the most dangerous jobs and play for the highest stakes. He is a victim of his own pride, and his ego often lands him in trouble. This Smuggler has something to prove and, when challenged, he cannot help but take the opportunity to display his bravery, even if this puts himself and his party in harm's way.
Rival: 10. Stealing the HWK-1000 from Dash Felian.
