Report #4: Smuggling Materiel from the Battle of Endor


Recently certain New Republic Intelligence agents in the field have filed reports of non-Imperial groups possessing weapons, armor and other equipment of Imperial manufacture. One theory to explain this is that someone is smuggling scavenged materiel off of Endor's forest moon; it is corroborated, at least in part, by the fact that some of the Ewoks have been found in possession of questionable off-world goods, especially alcohol and even some spice. Whatever the source of those items is, it's probably the same being who is receiving and then reselling the materiel.

The source of the illicit goods among the Ewoks, and the recipient of the scavenged materiel, is a cocky Human smuggler named Guion Kladys. He owes a debt to Hunvar the Hutt, and is working to repay it in this way. While the job is not glamorous—Endor's moon is, after all, the backwater of backwaters—it does offer a chance to make some quick credits without too much danger. Indeed, he thinks it could be just the thing to pay off what he owes for his ship, the Kathol Koel, and then pull up stakes and head to a less rustic location.
