Spice Delivery
Akoogari was sitting in the back of the palace's throne room. He got up and walked over to Bib Fortuna and asked if he had any jobs for him. Indeed Bib had one, suited rightly for a smuggler of Akoogari's caliber. The job was to make and take a shipment of 20 scramjet to two of Jabba's warehouses on Endor, for later distribution. The pay was 5,000 credits. This sounded like enough for his troubles, at the time. He told him to look for a Bothan named Eeb Grefay, he will give him the coordinates for the two warehouses. Akoogari agreed and found an Ithorian in the palace who would make an illegal trip to Endor, for 1000 credits though.

A week or so later, the Ithorian's freighter landed near the smuggler's outpost. Akoogari told him to wait for him for the trip back. He went into the outpost and met up with the Bothan, he gave Akoogari the coordinates. He retrieved his swoop from the Ithorian's ship and went out of the town towards the the first warehouse. Due to the thick forests, he couldn't use the full speed of the swoop due to it's lack of handling. As he approached the warehouse, a few blaster bolts whizzed by his right shoulder. He ducked low to the swoop and pulled his FWG5 free of it's holster. He turned around, glared at the green scout trooper on the speederbike behind him and shot a few shots at the troopers head. He missed and got the idea of shooting the thrust pedal that the trooper?s foot was on. He turned back towards the trooper and fired a shot at the foot and nipped it and broke the pedal causing the trooper to move his foot in pain and the speeder slowed to a stop. Akoogari sped off through the forest before the trooper could again pursue him.

Akoogari was wondering how the troopers knew where he was going, and then remembered the Bothan informant. He pulled up next to the warehouse's rear, turned off his swoop and drew his blaster. He slowly made his way to the entrance, and began to slink inside. As he turned a corner he walked into the muzzle of a DL44. Luckily the DL44 belonged to the thugs he was sent to meet. He handed them the scramjet and told them about the empire knowing of their location and suggested they leave. They nodded and said they would load their speeders with the items in the warehouse and move on to another one the Bothan shouldn't know of. Akoogari went outside and got on his swoop and sped off towards the second warehouse.

Akoogari noticed smoke off in the distance, billowing up into the sky in the direction of the other warehouse. He decided to ditch his swoop and go the rest of the way on foot. As he got closer, crawling up in the prone, he noticed the warehouse was on fire and two stormtroopers searching dead Jabba thugs. He considered attacking them and scavenging what he could and telling Jabba is was all destroyed by the fire, until he heard a metallic clanking and thumping. He looked up and seen the top of a chicken walker coming up the hill and going around the side of the warehouse. Akoogari gulped and decided to abandon the warehouse.

He arrived back at the Ithorian's ship and loaded his swoop into the hold. They blasted off and set back to Tatooine.

Akoogari got out of the ship, pulled his swoop out of the hold and ran for the throne room. He slowed down as he walked in and approached Bib. He told him what happened and that the fire warehouse was abandoned but everything was saved and moved but that the other warehouse was destroyed and looted by the Empire. He was upset at this and asked if Akoogari had any of the scramjet let. Akoogari said yes and gave him the half of the shipment meant for the second warehouse. Bib was clearly unhappy but gave Akoogari the 5,000 he deserved and said it wasn't his fault and that he may have another job for him against the Empire later, as vengeance.
