- Wow, Commander. Skadge. Got to admit I'm a little on the fence about this last one. I've worked with his type before, and it can go real wrong real fast.
- Take it from a smuggler with experience--sometimes it's better to just shoot 'em before they have a chance to give you grief.
315. Player - Having the boss of the Black Sun on our side has got to be worth something.

310. Player - He'll be a useful tool. Some jobs require a sledgehammer. A big, psychopathic sledgehammer.

311. Player - [Bounty Hunter Background] As long as I'm around, Skadge will behave. Give him a wide berth when he's in a bad mood--other than that, he's pretty useful.
- ...and maybe I could have him watch over our riskier runs. Nobody in their right mind would try to mess with him. Even if they tried, he'd just rip 'em apart....
- Little guy really knows his stuff when it comes to a firefight, too. Full custom hardware as good as anything credits could buy. Nobody who looked at him would ever guess what's coming.

289. Player - [Bounty Hunter Background] You don't have to tell me, little guy was part of my old crew for years.
- I'd be happy just having him watch over our riskier jobs, but he's got all kinds of friends and contacts with other Jawas. Connections we could never make on our own.
- The intimidation factor is good too! People are gonna think twice about trying to cross an intergalactic pit fighting champion, even if he is retired.
268. Player - [Smuggler Background] Little furball's actually quite a pilot too! Taught him myself.
- The last thing any of our freelancers want is someone telling them what they can or can't eat. Honestly, I'm surprised that droid didn't wind up shot.
- Hey, Commander! Want a sandwich? That C2 droid just came and dropped off a crate of packed lunches for us. They're pretty tasty--that droid can cook!
- And they're all neatly packed up too--our pilots can just grab a few when they go out on a run. Maybe I had that droid figured wrong. Thank him for us, would ya?
- Hey, Commander, I'm not sure what that C2 droid thinks he's doing, but he's left pillows all over the hanger and added cushions to every chair he could find.
- You lost, or just slumming it down here with the likes of us?
5. Player - [Smuggler Background] You kidding? The scent of engine grease... the sound of cargo loading... this place feels more like home than anywhere else on the base.
- That backstabbing bag of desh is the reason I was in there to begin with! What he pulled after we got our pay for breaking the Hydian Way Blockade....
- Remember how the Mandos blockaded the Hydian Way during the war? How Coruscant was on the brink of starvation and riots, until some hero came along, broke the blockade, and saved the planet?
- Heh, that's... a bit complicated. Suffice it to say, I wound up laying low in a stasis cell for a long time. Didn't know it'd freeze my aging too, but I'll take it.

6. Player - Just stopping by to have a look at things.
- So naturally your friends went and found the best, yours truly, to run the supply end of this operation. I make sure you get what you need without raising any eyebrows.
- One of the great truths of the galaxy, Commander. Fact is, a lot of freighter captains are happy just to have steady work from someone who won't shoot 'em in the back when it's time to pay up.

163. Player - How do you know you've actually avoided detection?
- Seriously though, the only reason this base is still intact is that Arcann doesn't know where to look. The proof that we're doing our job is that you're still alive.

103. Player - How can they be charging us for this? The Eternal Empire is everybody's problem.
- Fuel isn't free, Commander, and neither is time. Some of these people have families to look after, and a lot of them have debts--the kind you can't ignore.
- All the same, I have to admit that I've stretched my network of contacts pretty thin. If this alliance is gonna get much bigger, we're gonna need a lot more help.
- Smugglers, bounty hunters, maybe even pirates.... anyone who has useful skills, or just knows their way around the underworld. You find anyone good, bring 'em in.
- We're even starting to find sources for the rarer stuff. We've actually found a contact in the Zakuul Undercity--she's got access to Eternal Empire tech.
- I mean, don't get me wrong, we've still got a lot more to do before everything is said and done. So keep your eye out as usual for people or supplies.
- Friend of a friend of a friend got us in contact with a major mover on Bothawui, a sympathizer. Wouldn't have happened without the reputation you've managed to build up.
- Hate to sound like a looping holovid, but we need more. More contacts, more resources, and more people. Any help you could give us would go a long way.
- Not gonna lie, things are really tight around here right now. We're straining supplies as it is, and it's only going to get worse as we try to scale up.
- If this whole grand alliance idea wants to go anywhere, we really need to broaden our contact network, build a better supply base, and step up recruitment.
- Best thing you can do is keep an eye out for good people that can be convinced to join us, and for any underworld information you can get your hands on.
