Background
Motivation
Excitement: Anyone craving adventure and excitement could easily end up as a Smuggler. For some, the jobs are not
work but opportunities for adventure. The career is not dangerous but exciting and challenging. Risking everything in
a game of chance delights this character, facing off against an armed opponent thrills him, and pushing his ship to its
limits fleeing Imperial forces leaves him laughing like a maniac. Anyone traveling with this Smuggler is in for a wild ride.
Obligations
Notoriety: If a Smuggler has the Notoriety Obligation, then he will be unable to travel incognito, as his face or name
may be recognized This makes any jobs he takes on harder, if not impossible, to complete. This Obligation is only
likely to apply in certain sectors, and the extent of its influence determines the size of the Obligation. The Smuggler's
own behavior might have caused this, or another party may have maliciously spread information about him. If the
latter, the Obligation could be reduced by tracking down the person responsible and stopping him. if the former, the
Smuggler may have to avoid the affected area long enough that the locals forget him, or he might significantly change
his appearance or name to avoid recognition.
Criminal: Smugglers are by nature criminal, but some manage to stay off authorities' radars better than others. It’s only a problem if a Smuggler gains a criminal record. Hindo Jazzarus was caught by imperial authorities while smuggling Jjedi artifacts out of the Sluis sector of space. Hindo's ship was impounded by the empire and he was forced into slavery on the maw prison installation. He wasn't there too long working out a deal with the Pykes. He managed to escape Kessel during a mass prison riot. A lot of prisoners were killed during the riots. Hindo was presumed dead, although his records and face still crop up often enough due to his past notoriety. It can be difficult to stay hidden even if he has been presumed dead.
