The Punisher Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 Lets say someone wanted to lead Stormtroopers into battle to crush pathetic Rebels, but in his spare time he wanted to smuggle? Could this be done? Each faction should have equal opprotunity for each profession, but I can't see how Imperials would need to smuggle anything, seeing as how the point of smuggling is to get past Imperials...correct me if I am way off...

Lord_Vessen Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 Well some planets are rebel controlled so you could smuggle past them. But if you are a smuggler I think your do missions for the Hutts or something. I'm wrong most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 Hey, there's no reason why a person aligned to the Empire can't be corrupt. Maintaining a facade of loyalty, while he/she sneaks away now and then and use illegal ways of making money. I think it sounds like an interesting way to play. As long as you don't get caught, that is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, if I think better, a smuggler could behave as you write. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Moon Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 Corruption was a huge part of the Empire, not everyone wanted to be loyal to a wizened old "wizard" like the Emperor. I can see Imperial officers taking a little smuggling work on the side, mostly younger ones though. Being corrupt would be SWEET . That is, unless your superiors found out and came... for... you...

UnfrozenCaveman Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 Absolutely, imps can be smugglers. For all the reasons previously mentioned. It'll be something furtive though, the imp. smuggler is different than the rebel smuggler. But that's obvious even to a nerf herder like yourself *looking at nobody in perticular* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMaestro Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 In a sense, the Empire might love smugglers that they can sorta of "sway in certain directions." They could use them as scouts, and even as personal smugglers...cause that way they don't have to waste their ships, resources, people to do so... ...then again, if you're caught smuggling through the Empire, well like Han Solo faced..."An Imperial patrol forced me to jettison my cargo." So it might depend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexxxy_mark Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 what about the imperial hair stylists and the imperial image designers. no one talks about the glorious professions of the empire. someone has to shave all those heads and tattoo all those barcodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Zaius Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 Why bother smuggling something for the government (The Empire) when you could just transport it normally. What I am trying to say is, that why bother hiding some package from the government if the package is going to recieve it anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deft Aklin Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 Imperial coruption? What are you guys smoking and can I have some? There's no coruption in the Empire, just creative ways of abusing gray areas in bureaucratic red tape. By the way Punisher, I'm watching you. Seriously though, I am sure this will fit right in to the SWG universe. Congrats for being the first to mention this though Punisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jatari Bazrak Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Corruption is how the Empire became what it is today, and the with crafters and hair stylist's. Imp. Crafter's should only be able to use designs of Imperial wepeons, and Image Designers should Be able to make an Imperial look Darker in a sence. example: Image Designers could make a zabrak have Sith/Dark jedi tatoo's.
