Outlaw tech

An outlaw tech was a mechanic who specialized in performing repairs and illegal modifications on smuggling ships. In light of how often such ships need repairs, they are a critical part of the smuggling profession. They tend to be efficient, competent, discrete, and mobile; they often change their base of operations to avoid security forces and the competition.

Famous outlaw techs included Klaus "Doc" Vandangante, Shug Ninx, and BoShek.
