Since the dawn of the universe every developing civilization has set up rules and regulations at some point. Laws were made to make life safer for everyone, but also to ensure an empires well-being. By restricting trade of certain goods and free travel across its borders, civilizations discovered a profitable way to ascertain a large and steady income.

But with laws always come those willing to defy them, those trying to get a part of the profit by avoiding regulations and placing themselves in danger. The ones that specialize in covert transport and avoidance of local authorities were called 'smugglers'. At every point in history can they be found, first, only dealing between villages and small kingdoms, but as the civilizations advanced, so did they. They have worked between states, world-spanning empires and finally across the cold void of space when interplanetary travel was developed. Smugglers always had formed small groups to organize themselves, planning their work together, hence raising profits and enhancing safety for everyone involved. But when hyperspace travel became available it was time for a large union to emerge that would be able to work across the largest distances known to men: an entire universe.

The very first union to emerge was, and still is, called: The Smugglers Alliance. Founded by one of those extraordinary persons who are born to lead and prosper, the alliance grows steadily. From humble beginnings, it has developed into a full grown organization providing many a service to whoever is willing to hire them. They will carry every good you could think of ,without asking questions or taking a too close look. Everything can be transported, from the smallest pieces of jewelry and gems, over hand-held rifles, up to groups of persons or even starships. Everything can be hidden and moved without drawing attention, if needed. Its fame draws pilots from every known system to its ranks, enhancing its membership and its potential with ever passing hour. By now, many a customer has hired its services, and has been rewarded with a well done job and the object of his desires in his possession. And as the alliance begins to spread to cover even the remotest parts of this universe, it also extends its services to satisfy even the most unusual of requests. As they say: Everything is portable.
