You're a Duros. Being a Duros, you love stories. You love telling them, you love hearing them, and you'd probably love being in one too, so here you are, with your very own story. Incidentally, you're also an aspiring smuggler. All smugglers have ships, and you don't - which is why you're aspiring.
It begins, as all good stories do, in a cantina. This cantina in particular is called the Sarlaac Pit, and despite the name, it's clean and welcoming. Serving droids wait on your every need, and on account of the large blasters strapped to each of them, they ensure all the usual cantina brawls are taken outside, too. You order a drink of the local flavour from the bartender, a leathery looking Weequay who everyone calls Wrinkles. You don't think that's his real name. You're a regular in here, sort of like a local hero, you'd imagine. Wrinkles welcomes you with the usual contempt.
"For the third time today, nobody has any jobs for no grounded smuggler, no crews are looking for a captain-" You open your mouth to speak, and the Weequay continues his tirade in broken Huttese. "-And no! We don't serve blue milk!" He turns around, grimacing. You tap him on the shoulder insistently, but an overly polite protocol droid ushers you out the door before you can get a word in edgewise.
Nobody likes you, and they don't like you because you don't have a ship.
Without realizing it, you end up at the docking bay, greeted by yet another familiar face. It's the local maintenance drone, who the Hutts pay to double as a very incompetent security sentry. Luckily, the half-blind Sullustan doesn't recognize you. After all, you don't have any business being here.
"Is that you, 58?"
He seems to have mistaken you for his maintenance droid, which is currently being pulled apart by some very eager scavengers.
>A. Try to bluff that you're his droid
>B. Allow him a good look at you, so he might recognize you
>C. Try to slip past him unnoticed
>D. Chase the scavengers away, in an effort to save the droid
>>
A. Let's steal us a ship.

"Of course it's me" You reply, somewhat unassuredly. Luckily, he's already assumed you are and gone back to whatever it was he was doing. As he tackles some unknown machine with a hydrospanner, you walk past him into the space port docking bays. The smell of Tibana gas fills the air around you, and you can't help but smile as you check the ship manifest.

Lots of Corellian models in today. With the recent seizing of the Kuat shipyards, Corellia is the only system putting out civilian ships not going to the galactic war effort against the rebellion. Looks like there's only 3 ships available to snoop at.
>A. Go to docking bay A with the YT-2400, a newer Corellian model. You've heard of this one, it's the talk of the Sarlaac Pit. Apparently a very nice ship.
>B. Go to docking bay C, with the YT-2000, this ship has been here for ages and a day. The owner has probably forgotten about it.
>D. Go to docking bay D, with the XS - an ancient model. You've only read about these.

B. Seems like the easiest one to steal.
