Welcome to the Smugglers Den

[Lysle of the Hydian Way]

"Most of the best freighter pilots can be found here. Only watch your step. This place can be a little rough."​

The Smugglers Den is located in the private Spaceport outside of Dragon Palace Casino. It is here the Red Ravens can organise missions, search for potential allies and look for extra crew, or a mechanic to refit your rig. Read below to learn more about smugglers.

A smuggler, also known by the euphemism free trader, was someone who engaged in the clandestine shipment of goods or people to prevent taxation or some other impediment. The goods shipped were often highly illegal or banned in some sectors.
A common stereotype in the galaxy was that smugglers were usually Corellian, and indeed, there were no shortages of Corellian smugglers, but smuggling was carried out by various freight carriers and criminal organizations of all species and planetary origins.

Smugglers have to worry about attacks from pirates and opportunists who would attempt to steal their cargo, meaning that smugglers need to avoid some of the most lawless star systems to remain safe. Also, because they are smuggling contraband, they had no hope of help from the galactic authorities. Most smugglers develop keen skills to avoid trouble, and they modify their ships not only for better cargo capacity, but also for greater speed and defenses. In order to evade authority patrols, smugglers often use smaller and less well-known routes that skirted authority strong points within the galaxy. There were many of these smuggling routes, and every smuggler usually have his or her preferred ways of getting from place to place safely.
