    Capsule: Rav Mace’s ship the Ordinary Trader is a heavily modified Ghtroc freighter. Because his trade and espionage missions take Mace into dangerous regions of the galaxy, he has equipped the Ordinary Trader with more powerful engines, making it much faster and more maneuverable than one would expect. Its guns have been beefed up as well, but Mace prefers not to fight If he can run. These improvements come at the expense of cargo and passenger space.

    Capsule: Zahir is the outermost moon of an unnamed gas giant in the Vohad system. It is a tiny chunk of rock and ice, extensively tunnelled. A large dome on the surface encloses an artificial habitat, and the entire asteroid is surrounded by a large docking ring.
    During the last decades of the Old Republic, the rock was purchased by the New Frontiers Corporation, which converted it into an enormous space station. The company hoped to profit from the opening of a new trade route passing through Zahir to virgin territories beyond. But the fall of the Old Republic put a halt to the development program and New Frontiers went bankrupt. The moon eventually fell into the hands of an individual named Worruga Yab.
    Despite evidence linking him to various piracy and smuggling operations, Yab is currently the sole owner and government of Zahir. He operates the world as a free port. Its permanent population is less than a thousand, but at any time there are likely to be a hundred or more transients. The settlement functions as a trading post and supply center for independent traders, prospectors, bounty hunters and scouts.
    Note: The Imperial Navy has declared the entire Vohad system a high-risk area for piracy.

    Capsule: Shkali is a primitive planet with no central government and few useful resources. The Empire has decided to defer development of this world.
    The largest political entity is an empire controlling all of the third continent; it is ruled by a caste of bureaucrats acting in the name of a hereditary monarch. The other four continents have no states above the tribal level.
    The Shkali are a humanoid species evolved from saurian ancestors. Adults stand approximately 180 centimeters tall and mass 80 kilograms. Shkali lay eggs, but care for their young. They are omnivores. (See the xenology database for more information.)
    The planet has three moons: two asteroidal and one a thousand kilometers in diameter.
