Talon Karrde ran the largest smuggling organization before he retired. He is now a liaison between the Imperials and New Republic but is still fairly influential in his old organization. Karrde’s organization was primarily a smuggling outfit but after Grand Admiral Thrawn began cloning troops Karrde reformatted his group to be an intelligence gathering outfit. Karrde made a lot of money through a link Luke Skywalker set up for Karrde to get money out of in return for his information. Karrde rarely has a permanent base for his organization after Thrawn chased him off several planets.

The main base is inside an asteroid that has been hollowed out. they have small observation posts scattered throughout the asteroid field so they can observe any intruders. Some of the smaller asteroids have self destruct mechanisms so they can be used as weapons. The Nova Star Pirates are feared wherever they are known. The Pirates are led by Axillian Drell.

Some characters might want to make their own group of smugglers, pirates, or mercenaries. These groups can be beneficial to everybody involved but not everybody can form their own successful group just like that. Forming a group costs lots of money and requires complete dedication. If a character forms a group they will have less time to spend adventuring and traveling. Still if the character wants to form a group the following guidelines should help. Some of this will help the character and other parts will help the GM organize what happens. While much of this is important most of it can be taken care of out of game. The GM should remember that letting a character form this group will give him people he can call on when he gets in trouble and should plan adventures to take this into account.
Base: All groups need a base to stage from. If the base is very remote less people will be willing to work for you but you will have less problem with law enforcement officials. On the flip side having your base on a heavily populated world will guarantee you employees but you will have lots of law enforcement officials watching you. Many pirate bases and smuggler hide outs are based in asteroid fields. The asteroid fields protect them from scrutiny and routes can be mapped to allow save passage. Smaller asteroids can also be fitted with security features.
Name:While the name of your group may sound trivial it is an important part of your group. The name should describe the group and be original. Nobody is going to work for the mercenary group called the Fighting Nerfs. A really good name may attract people to join the group because of how strong it sounds and if it sounds like a good name.
Members: The most important part of a character’s group is of course the members. Acquiring members is a fairly difficult process. Of course if the character has made a name for him or herself they will have an easier time of this than others would. When establishing a group the character should have at least a small group of people that will work for him. Once the character has that group they should perform small missions and eventually they will become better known. Whenever the group does something noticeable a few people should try to apply to the group. The character is the final judge on whether or not somebody can join his group.
Pay: All of the members of a group are going to get paid. Nobody works for free so the character needs to remember that. The character can choose to pay a salary to the members or pay them for every operation they run. Smaller groups will probably prefer a commission for each run since they will take many runs. Larger groups will want a salary since they are going to get less runs. Here are guidelines for pay: Lvl 1-3 1000 bi-weekly, 400 a run; Lvl 4-6 1500 bi-weekly, 600 a run; Lvl 7-9 2000 bi-weekly, 800 a run; Lvl 10-12 2500 bi-weekly, 1000 a run.
Missions: The members of your group will not be willing to go on a run just because you tell them to. Some members will demand extra if the mission has more risk than normal. For example a smuggler would have no problem running a load of spice to a lightly patrolled area, but they aren’t going to be happy if they are sent to take the same load to Coruscant because of the heavy patrols and it’s the center of the Empire. On the opposite side none of your members are going to ask for less pay when they go on an easy mission, but they will probably be willing to take less if that’s the original offer. Remember that pay is based on the danger of the mission.
Forming a guild is much more difficult than making up a group. Members of a guild have to pay dues and they expect to get something for what they pay. Members of a guild will probably get some sort of special medical care, and discounts on equipment and in the case of smugglers on goods. The guild should be somewhat democratic and allow members to air their complaints. Guilds will generally be for smugglers and bounty hunters but it is conceivable that there would be a guild for mercenaries.
Base: A guild will definitely have a home base and will be much different than a groups base. Guilds are more accepted and will probably be in an easily accessible place. Members will want to have easy access and be able to get in and out without trouble.
Members: Members of a guild will generally be characters who are good at what they do but not great. They generally need help with costs because they can’t get the stuff themselves. Guilds allow members to find jobs and get cheaper equipment. At first a guild will start off slowly but eventually more and more people will here about it and come to join it. For this reason most guilds will want to be on a well known planet so the word gets around.
Dues: Most guilds will require that a member will pay a certain percentage off of every run or mission they get paid on. The average is about 10% but may be either higher or lower depending on what the guild offers. If the members only work sporadically the guild will probably require a certain amount a year which would be close to 1000 a year.
Services: The whole point of a guild is that the members get a special benefit from joining and paying the dues. The services depend on the guild type and will be explained later in this section.
Smuggler’s Guild: A smuggler’s guild will offer discounts on spices, bacta, and weapons that are needed in certain areas. The guild will always have a place for a few ships of the higher ranking members to land. Most guilds will also have a dock where ships can be repaired and modified. Guilds will usually only charge for the materials and have hired mechanics do the work. Many guilds will also have a special trading center where the smugglers can tell others what they have and try to sell or buy what they need.
Bounty Hunter’s Guild: A bounty hunter’s guild will have exclusive bounties that it gives to its members and help stop competition. Younger members will often be paired with an experienced bounty hunter to help them learn the trade. The better guilds have docking facilities for the bounty hunters to work on their ships. Many of the guilds will have weapons that the members may borrow or get cheaper than normal. Many also have a weapons maker in their employ that can modify weapons for the members.
Mercenary’s Guild: Mercenary’s guilds are rare because most mercenaries work in a group but a few like to work for no one. These guilds will offer training facilities and obstacle courses and weapon ranges for the members to keep their skills up. Many also have areas for practicing missions. Guilds will either form small teams among the members and keep them together or assign the groups randomly for each mission. Some guilds will provide the members with weapons and other equipment needed for the mission. The better guilds will have transports to drop off and pick up the teams.
The Errant Venture is Booster Terrik’s Imperial Mark II Star Destroyer. The ship has less weapons then a normal star destroyer but is still a formidable vessel. The Errant Venture functions as a moving den for smugglers and other fringe characters. Many people visit the Errant Venture. It has facilities for fixing and upgrading ships, areas for buying and selling goods, and of course rooms that passengers can rent. The ship travels wherever Booster feels like taking it. The following is a list of the costs for visiting the Errant Venture. Landing Berth - 1000 credits, Blue Level room - 1000 credits, Red Level room - 2000 credits, Gold Level room - 5000 credits. Booster’s friends are able to stay aboard the Diamond Level for free, but few are awarded this privilege. All sales aboard must pay Booster a 5% commission fee. While staying aboard the Errant Venture is expensive it is well kept up and many people can be found aboard the ship.
