Smuggler/Legends

Smuggling is the clandestine shipment of illegal goods, or even clandestine shipment of legal goods to prevent taxation or some other impediment. This results from the fact that there are many items which the Empire would prefer to control, for various reasons. For instance, spice: the Empire doesn't necessarily care about the physiological repercussions that spice may cause to its citizens, but they wish to control the traffic of spice so that they may benefit from it financially (and also so that their opponents may not benefit from it).

Another example is gunrunning: the Empire would like to control weapons availability to prevent criminals, and even more so, insurgents, such as the Rebel Alliance, from being well-armed.
