Smuggler ship


A view of the rear of the smuggler vessel, connected to Fuel Station Ergo. This starship, utilized by smugglers, served the interests of the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War's Dark Trooper Project. Agent Kyle Katarn eventually infiltrated it to gain access to the Super Star Destroyer named Executor.

Description

Layout of the smuggler ship

The vessel's design incorporated a rectangular form factor. Its interior featured white corridors lined with panels, reminiscent of the CR90 corvette's internal structure. Access to the square bridge required a keycard. The ship was equipped with two rectangular cargo holds positioned on either side.

Overlooking the cargo bays were a pair of corridors. Access to these corridors was provided by a staircase situated on the rear-port side of the vessel. Each bay was subdivided into three distinct sections and included sliding platforms.

History

The Arc Hammer facility, where the Dark Trooper Project was underway, frequently jumped to hyperspace to maintain secrecy. Only the Executor was aware of its location at any given moment. Jabba Desilijic Tiure contracted smugglers working for the Empire to transport essential materials for the Dark Trooper Project across the galaxy.

In 1 ABY, the Rebel Alliance deployed agents Jan Ors and Kyle Katarn with the mission of sabotaging the Project. The only way to infiltrate the highly classified factory was through the Executor.

Knowing that Fuel Station Ergo supplied the Super Star Destroyer, Ors instructed Kyle Katarn to assume the identity of a smuggler and seize a smuggler ship while it was being resupplied at the station. The smuggler ship was docked at the northwestern hangar at the time, and its cargo bays were filled with cargo containers containing various items, including class 5 explosives, shields, and bio-tests. Gamorreans and Trandoshans were patrolling the ship's corridors.

Katarn then manipulated the movable fueling arm to connect with the target smuggler ship's docking bay, allowing him to board. However, he encountered resistance from several individuals inside the ship. Katarn obtained a yellow keycard from a deceased Imperial officer, granting him entry to the bridge. He initiated the engines, but not before exchanging a final message with Ors via comlink. He successfully reached the Executor using the hijacked vessel.

The ship eventually arrived at the Executor's hangar. Imperial forces boarded the ship to prevent Katarn from leaving the bridge. Katarn descended to the now-empty cargo bays, exited the ship into the Super Star Destroyer's main area, and proceeded with his mission.

This ship is featured in the 1995 video game Star Wars: Dark Forces. It serves as the objective in mission 11 ("Smuggler's Hijack"), representing the player's destination to complete the mission. It reappears at the start of mission 12 ("The Stowaway"), from which the player must depart to reach the Executor.
