is shrouded in mystery. Not even Drake is certain how his father managed to acquire the freighter, though there is often a brief mention of ship-napping. The Ghtroc freighter is relatively new, definitely customized, and will undergo more customization under the ownership of her young captain. Relatively unknown as a smuggling ship, the freighter has never really been put to the test. But it is certain to perform well under the guidance of an experienced pilot and crew.

Adventure Idea

The characters are forced to land at a remote starport in dire need of technical assistance to repair their hyperdrive system. The starport technicians are unable to perform such a delicate job. However, the characters hear about a Wookiee with a talent for rewiring sensitive hyperdrives. Unfortunately, this Wookiee is locked up in an Imperial cell, awaiting execution at dawn unless the characters rescue her.

Adventure Idea

While resting up from their latest venture, the characters are recruited to deliver medical supplies and foodstuffs to a neighboring system. The job has only a few minor complications, enough to boost their confidence so that they agree to finish the last leg of the job and deliver the goods to a nearby mining colony. Only when they arrive in the system do they discover that there is a small-scale trade war going on between the planet’s inhabitants and the sector authorities.
