The cunning Skavak stalks the Smuggler all the way, hoping to recover the missing treasure for himself. The Smuggler's full arsenal as well as the help of his new allies such as Bowdaar, a Wookiee gladiator, are barely enough to survive. On an epic journey beyond the limits of the galaxy, the Smuggler uncovers the truth about Nok Drayen and the secret of the crime lord's missing fortune. Skavak sets up a final trap to face the Smuggler during a duel where all shots are allowed, aboard a ship about to sink into a black hole.

Rogun the Butcher hasn't forgotten the Smuggler's breach of contract on Ord Mantell. The formidable gangster Chagrien sets up a trap in a bustling underworld lair, Port Nullepart. The Smuggler narrowly escapes Rogun's henchmen and inadvertently saves an old ally: the compulsive gambler and informant, Darmas Pollaran. Rogun had captured Darmas and the beautiful Senator Bevera Dodonna to sell them to a Grand Imperial Admiral nicknamed "the Void Wolf". But when the Nether Wolf's flagship arrives in Port Nowhere to claim Darmas and Senator Dodonna, everyone runs to safety without delay.

She hires the Smuggler's crew to sabotage and plunder Republic enemies on Balmorra and Hoth. After a series of tumultuous escapades, the Smuggler outsmart the Imperial Moffs and Pirate Kings and manages to interfere with the operations of Rogun the Butcher and the Nether Wolf, causing them much trouble.
