Smuggler ship


A view of the rear of the smuggler's vessel as it's docked at Fuel Station Ergo. This starship, used by smugglers, served the interests of the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War's Dark Trooper Project. Agent Kyle Katarn eventually raided it to get to the Super Star Destroyer named Executor.

Description

Layout of the smuggler ship

The vessel's form was rectangular. The interior featured white corridors and panels, resembling the inside of a CR90 corvette. Access to the square bridge required a keycard. Two rectangular cargo bays were situated on either side of the main body of the ship.

Corridors provided a view of the cargo bays below. A stairway on the rear-port side of the vessel provided access to these corridors. Each bay was divided into three sections and included sliding platforms.

History

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

In 1 ABY, the Rebel Alliance dispatched agents Jan Ors and Kyle Katarn to disrupt the Project. The only route to the highly classified factory was via the Executor.

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

Katarn then manipulated the movable fueling arm to connect with the docking bay of the targeted smuggler ship, which he subsequently boarded. However, several individuals aboard the ship attempted to stop him. Katarn acquired a yellow keycard from a slain Imperial officer, granting him entry to the bridge. He engaged the engines, but not before exchanging a final message with Ors via comlink. He successfully reached the Executor using the hijacked vessel.

Eventually, the ship arrived at the Executor's hangar. However, Imperial forces boarded the ship in an attempt to prevent Katarn from exiting the bridge. Katarn descended to the now-empty cargo bays, exited the ship into the Super Star Destroyer's main area, and continued his mission.

Behind the scenes

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