Smuggler
"Well, that's the real trick, isn't it? And it's going to cost you something extra."
Smuggling, while having been a part of galactic trade for many years in the Old Republic, absolutely thrived under the Galactic Empire's strict control of goods. The nationalizing of former Separatist companies' assets, including their vast merchant fleets, greatly increased smuggling's appeal - and demand.
Smugglers have been known to traffic all sorts of goods. From drugs to guns, slaves to specialist items, they will always be in demand. There are a number of smuggling groups but most entrepreneurs choose to work alone or with small and trusted crews.
As long as there is want in the galaxy, there will be smugglers.
Mercenary
A mercenary is a soldier who will fight for any faction in exchange for a desirable amount of money. Available to the highest bidder, they are in an enviable position to dictate their cost and pick and choose any job they so desire. Often without any political affiliation, mercenaries thrive in our present economy.
Bounty Hunter / Assassin
Bounty Hunters are hireable mercenaries who track down and capture or kill anyone with a price on their head, although they are also known for doing nearly anything for the right price including the protection of clients. The best Bounty Hunters were very well armed and even more dangerous.
Beware the Hunter when you have a price on your head.
Slicer / Spy
The term "Slicer" is used to describe computer experts, often self-taught, who excel at working within a complex computer network, and are able to extract information from this network with great skill. Often, this information is secured by any number and manner of encryption and lockout systems, and a skilled Slicer is able to circumvent these systems without triggering alarms.
Slicers are often needed for missions of espionage, and a decent Slicer can often charge whatever they feel appropriate for any given task. The most noted Slicers in the galaxy are Bothans, but this skill is not limited to the race.
Often spies possess this handy talent with computers, as it aids extensively with any undercover job they may be party to.
Other Independent Employment
Although perhaps not as prolific, the following professions are equally independent and available for any character.
