Rix, I manage to get my brothers out, and for that you have my gratitude. This patched up shuttle should get us as far as the Outer Rim where we plan to sell it and disappear. Before we vanish, I promised you some information.
The Pabol Hutta has long been regarded as one of the safest Hyperlanes in the Galaxy, so long as you pay your toll to the Hutts that is. Nothing happens on that route without the permission of the Kajidics. Yes there are pirates, but that’s just a way of extracting a fee from those who think they can defy the Lords of Nal Hutta.
Recently, however, ships have started to go missing. No evidence of a struggle, no blasted ships or dumped cargo, they just seem to vanish.
Obviously this has got the Hutts concerned. Especially since the recent increase in piracy along the Gamor Run. They won’t show this publicly, but it’s definitely got them spooked.
Things have just got worse. One of the more recent missing ships was carrying cargo for the Emperor himself, they are dismissing this as a rumour, but I can confirm it’s true, and that’s why I have to leave. I told a few too many people what I know and now they want my head.
Why is Imperial cargo being shipped along a Hutt controlled path without a full escort?
Whatever the reason, this is big, and I’d advise you to stay away.
…but I’ve known you too long to think you’d have the wisdom to listen to me!!
