 Welcome aboard the Errant Venture, gentlebeings! I am Nawara Ven,
quartermaster and majordomo for Booster Terrik, the owner and operator
of this great spacebound bazaar. Please ignore those burn marks on the wall
of the hangar; I assure you they’re nothing you should concern yourself with.
Allow me to give you the grand tour and perhaps find a place where you can
relax and spend a few credits on yourself. Everything a being could ever want
that can’t be found planetside is found aboard our ship, for a price. Just stay
with me and I assure you that we can help find what you’re interested in.

The Errant Venture is not your typi-
cal smugglerʼs den, that much is certain in
the minds of nearly all visitors. The sight of
an Imperial II-class Star Destroyer is usually
enough to send members of the fringe scat-
tering in all directions, except when Booster
Terrik is at its helm. Traveling from system to
system and never staying in one place for long,
the Errant Venture has picked up a motley col-
lection of smugglers, gamblers, mercenaries,
information brokers, and countless others who
operate outside New Republic law. With each
jump through hyperspace comes new denizens
of the fringe, black market goods, dangerous
adventures, and countless other rare and valu-
able items that keep beings of all kinds coming
back for more.
History of the Errant Venture
The tale of the Errant Venture begins
shortly after Coruscant fell to New Republic
forces at the hands of Rogue Squadron. Ysanne
Isard, then-ruler of the remnants of the Impe-
rial war machine, had fled to Thyferra where
her control of the Bacta Cartel had dealt a
crippling blow to the struggling New Republic
military. In a series of battles, won through
the cleverness and talent of several members
of Rogue Squadron and their associates, Isard
was ousted from her seat of power and Thy-
ferra was free to join the New Republic.
During the final stages of the campaign,
Booster Terrik, a smuggler and information
broker, who spent 5 hard years in the spice
mines of Kessel, cooperated with his future
son-in-law Corran Horn in an effort to draw
Imperial forces away from Thyferra. In a
brilliant tactical move, Booster commanded a
space station armed with the fire-control sen-
sors of over 300 proton torpedo and concus-
sion missile launchers; an expert at bluffing, 3
Terrik convinced the captains of the Super Star
Destroyer Lusankya and the Imperial-II Star
Destroyer Virulence that he actually had laid
a trap, when in reality the fire control sensors
were without their matching weaponry. Though
the Lusankya eventually broke free, the Viru-
lence surrendered to Booster who eventually
led the ship to aid in the Battle of Thyferra.
Following the battle, Booster insisted
that the Virulence belonged to him, since the
captain had surrendered the ship not to the
New Republic, but to Terrik himself. Through
a long series of negotiations, Talon Karrde,
General Airen Cracken, and Booster Terrik fi-
nally came to an agreement that allowed Terrik
to keep the ship, though stripped of most of its
weaponry. Booster renamed the ship the Errant
Venture, and hired over 200 Verpine techs to
refit and refurbish the damaged and decrepit
portions of the ship. The refit took over seven
months, but once finished Booster had gained
command of a massive, floating smugglerʼs
den, which had been a dream of his for years.
Today, the Errant Venture is a common name
on the tongues of most members of the space-
faring fringe. Intimidating to its enemies, but
a welcome sight for criminals and thrillseek-
ers, the Errant Venture has become an icon of
smugglers and free-traders everywhere, and
serves as a reminder for all members of the
fringe that Booster Terrik outsmarted the New
Republic.

 The Errant Venture in the
New Jedi Order
During the events that led up to the peace accord between the New Republic and the
Imperial Remnant, Booster Terrik was able to make a deal with the New Republic Navy to
refit the entire ship using the best technicians the government had to offer in exchange for the
shipʼs use during a raid on an Imperial outpost. As a result, the ship was returned to nearly
new condition, with a full weapons compliment and all the shipʼs vital systems torn out and
replaced with state of the art units. Despite the new components, however, modifications to the
ship made by the smuggler prevented the Star Destroyer from being returned to absolutely top
condition, and some ships systems still functional erratically (giving a –1 Engines penalty to
Maneuverability, as well as less effective fire control). Additionally, after peace was made, the
New Republic paid to have the ship painted blood red from bow to stern, a vision that Booster
had planned for the ship but could never quite afford to have done.
With the Jedi on the run from the Yuuzhan Vong (and the Peace Brigade), the Errant
Venture serves as a floating sanctuary for most of the youngest Jedi students. Kam Solusar and
his wife, Tionne, are managing the small cluster of apprentices, while Jedi Knight Corran Horn

is remaining onboard in order to lie low following the events at Ithor. While Booster claims to
be put off by having the Jedi students on board, the fact that two of them are his grandchildren
softens his gruff exterior to a certain degree. The ship is making random jumps throughout the
galaxy, never straying close enough to an inhabited system to be spotted, and only staying in
the same place long enough to re-supply. Additionally, due to the increased need for security,
the two house starfighter squadrons have been released to fight independently of the vessel.
Only a select few can find the ship at any given moment, among them Luke Skywalker, Mara
Jade, Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo, and perhaps a handful of others.

Additionally, Booster has hired several
employees to act as a security force aboard
the ship. Recognizing that with a ship full of
scoundrels there was bound to be trouble, he
selected former crewmates and mercenaries
to fill out the ranks of an armed security team
to keep the peace in order to continue attract-
ing more wealthy guests. These security team
members are garbed in what appear to be old
Imperial-style uniforms, but rather than the
sterile gray and black colors of the past, the
torsos are now light green with yellow sleeves,
and when combined with their yellow trousers
and green caps make them a somewhat sicken-
ing sight to behold. Nevertheless, they stand
out in a crowd and have been a relatively effec-
tive means of keeping the peace. They do turn
a blind eye to many of the shady deals on the
ship, unless Booster specifically orders them to
take care of a situation, or if the situation pres-
ents a danger to the ship or its wealthy guests.

Heroes for Hire
After the PCs have arrived aboard
the Errant Venture and gotten accustomed
to their surroundings, the situation involving
their encounter with Nawara Ven suddenly
seems more dangerous. While the characters
are onboard, a band of pirates boldly attack
the ship in an attempt to acquire that hot car-
go shipment. If the characters react to help
fight off the pirates, Booster is impressed
by their combat prowess and offers them
a three-month contract as members of the
mercenary squadrons aboard the ship. Fight-
ing off pirate raids and Imperial attempts to 7
reclaim such a warship should provide ample
time to plant further plot seeds, as well as
keeping them busy for a while.

On Black Level, cantinas and hole-
in-the-wall dwellings are the most common
sight. The travelers on Black Level are typi-
cally strapped for cash, or fleeing troubles,
and as such intoxication and a place to sleep
are all many can afford, or care enough about
to spend money on. Bar fights and killings
are as common as cutpurses and beggars on
Black Level, and only one with the street
savvy capable of surviving the worst parts of
densely-packed cities should venture to this
level. Desperate or immoral, either way, the
inhabitants of Black Level have been known to
prey on those who stand out of the crowd. No-
torious bounty hunters, bloodthirsty criminals,
and opportunistic thieves have all made Black
Level their domain, and a dangerous place to
be.
One notable cantina on Black Level
is called “The Lean-To.” Owned by a shady-
looking Bothan named Mursk Toʼrak, this
cantina has intentionally dimmed lighting, and
every booth along the walls can see every en-
trance and exit. The bar, situated in the middle
of the room, is rectangular shaped, with drinks
being served on all four sides. The disgustingly
dirty floor, which was originally white but is
now an off-brown color, has several blaster
burns and what look to be bloodstains scattered
over its surface. The walls are littered with
burn marks, and pitted along one side with
what appear to be the remnants of shrapnel
from some kind of explosion. The bar serves
a variety of watered-down liquors and other
drinks, often in dirty containers. The entire
establishment is filthy and reeks of smoke, but
provides enough cheap intoxication to keep
many coming back for more.
Mursk is a Bothan who tired of the clan
structure on Bothawui and set off to escape
his homeworld. After draining his familyʼs
bank account, Mursk started several businesses
which failed shortly after their founding. Even-

tives of their own aboard the ship for the sole
purpose of selling that groupʼs cargo.
One successful entrepreneur is a Sul-
lustan by the name of Tien Gnit, an aggressive
salesman and the shrewd owner of the Lava
Tube, his shop. Tien has long been known as
an honest dealer, though his prices are some-
what higher than most. He doesnʼt sell broken
equipment, and he doesnʼt lie about his prod-
ucts to customers. He is a hard bargainer, and
will ask sometimes twice or three times the go-
ing price for a high-quality item. He demands
a lot of his employees, as well, requiring them
to be honest in their dealings with him and his
customers. Gnit is also in good with Booster
Terrik, dealing mostly with the smuggling as-
pect of his organization, and frequently brokers
deals with the owner of the ship in exchange
for a good cut of any profit.
Gnit runs a small shop on Traderʼs
Alley, which is kept clean and organized by
his employees. The shop boasts an impressive
assortment of high-quality items, ranging from
the mundane to more hard to find black market
goods. Gnitʼs selection is typically composed
of standard items in working order, though a
small portion of his inventory is of the high-
est quality, providing a +1 equipment bonus
to any rolls using that item, at a cost of 30%
more than the standard asking price. Occasion-
ally, rare and valuable black market goods will
pass through his possession, but typically he
reserves those for his best, and most trusted
customers. He usually gives first choice of his
rarest items to Boosterʼs daughter, Mirax (who
is an expert in rare item acquisitions), though
what she doesnʼt take, he makes available to
the regular customers on Traderʼs Alley. He
does not deal in useless items, however; gems,
jewelry, art, and other showpieces hold no
interest for the shrewd businessman, instead
preferring to deal in functional goods that serve
a purpose other than decoration.

Blue Level also is home to one other 10
major landmark aboard the ship: a massive
holovid presentation of the New Republicʼs
campaign against Ysanne Isard at Thyferra.
This work of hyperbole is displayed around
the clock in a massive open-topped courtyard
which rests in the middle of Blue Level, and
stretches up to connect with a similar courtyard
in Diamond Level. Of course, the presentation
was edited and modified by Boosterʼs compos-
ing crew, and as such his role and that of the
Errant Venture have been greatly expanded,
while the part played by his son-in-law Cor-
ran Horn has been nearly completely cut out.

Diamond in the Rough
The characters, in pursuit of Mirax
Terrik and her valuable new purchase, as-
cend into the glitz and glamour of Diamond
Level. As the party weaves in and out of
casinos, restaurants, and private establish-
ments, they eventually catch wind that in 2
days time, Mirax will be playing in a high-
stakes game of Sabacc with an experienced
gambler, with her expensive new acquisition
on one side of the wager, and a single, rare
item in the gamblerʼs possession; an au-
thentic Jedi lightsaber, holocron, plans for a
working cloaking device, or something along
those lines would be sufficient. What the
characters choose to do from there is up to
them, however thereʼs sure to be trouble (and
money to be made) in such a risky endeavor.
Occasionally, Booster will arrange for
thrill-seeking guests of Diamond Level to walk
amongst the denizens of Blue Level as a poten-
tial member of the fringe. Other times, he will
use these daring but naïve customers to carry
out some task for him. Booster has even been
known to convince guests to practically beg
him for the chance at being a part of his illegal
operations, even pay him for the opportunity,
without really telling them what theyʼre getting
into. Guests on the ship are aboard for their
own reasons, some for the luxury and some
for the thrill, and Booster never hesitates to
cater to their individual tastes, especially when
thereʼs a chance for him to earn a few credits.
Notable Personalities
Booster Terrik
Booster Terrik has always been a little
rough around the edges. While some mem-
bers of the fringe attempt to maintain an air 12
of refinement, Booster makes no such claim.
A talented smuggler with connections all
over the Galaxy, Terrik prides himself on two
things: his no-nonsense way of dealing with
people, and his daughter Mirax. Booster Terrik
is not the kind of man to play games, and he
has a complete lack of respect for authority.
Tall, broad and thick, and sporting a menac-
ing cybernetic eye and a rough white goatee,
Booster can be an intimidating site before he
even opens his mouth. Heʼs a gruff man who
doesnʼt take any slag off of anyone, tough as
duracrete and, like most Corellians, never does
what those around him expect him to do.
Booster was a smuggler and pilot for
hire on Corellia at the height of the Empire.
He used the Pulsar Skate, a freighter which
would eventually become his daughterʼs,
as his own personal vessel, though he had a
moderate sized organization of his own. When
Wedge Antillesʼ parents were killed on Gus
Treta, Booster tried to help him track down the
pirates responsible for their deaths. The search
ended abruptly and unsuccessfully when
Booster was sent to do time in the spice mines
of Kessel by a member of Corellian Security
named Hal Horn. Boosterʼs organization was
taken over by an up and coming smuggler Jorj
Carʼdas, and his daughter Mirax went into
business for herself. Booster spent 5 hard years
in Kessel, and itʼs a time in his life heʼd like to
forget.
 Booster treats the Errant Venture as
though it were simply another part of his fam-
ily, caring for it deeply, even with all its quirks
and technical problems. He has made a good
bit of profit off the ship, and is always looking
for new and exciting attractions to entertain his
guests. Boosterʼs cybernetic eye allows him
to see in the ultraviolet spectrum, giving him
the ability to see specially marked cards and
throw cheaters out of the casinos. Additionally,
it lets him see in the infra-red spectrum, often
revealing hidden weapons and adversaries. He
tolerates no one that does harm to his precious
business, and even once severely beat Bo-
than Senator Borsk Feyʼlya for trying to hire
Boosterʼs organization to kill another Bothan.
Booster is a no-nonsense Corellian, set in his
ways, but with a sense of honor and respect
about him that he tries to hide.

Mirax Terrik
If asked, almost no one would ever
guess that Mirax was the daughter of the in-
famous smuggler Booster Terrik. Growing up
on Corellia, Mirax was childhood friends with
Wedge Antilles, and remained in close contact
through the years of the Rebellion and into the
New Republic. Beautiful with a hint of exotic
features, Mirax shares one thing in common
with her father: they both prefer getting right 13
down to business. Mirax likes to jump right
in and get hands on in a situation, and doesnʼt
mind if it gets her a little dirty.
Mirax uses the Pulsar Skate as her
personal transport and business venue. Af-
ter seeing her father hauled off to Kessel by
Hal Horn, she began a successful shipping
and acquisitions business. Though operating
mostly within the law, Mirax took up where
her father left off and began smuggling weap-
ons into Alliance bases. Eventually, she would
fall in love with New Republic officer Corran
Horn, despite some early bitterness between
them, though her independent streak is easily
seen still as she continues to operate her own
business. She specializes in acquiring rare and
valuable items, from perishable foods to art as
well as more common items, and has an excel-
lent reputation amongst her customers.
Mirax often uses her fatherʼs floating
bazaar as a stopover point and base of opera-
tions. She has a good working relationship
with many of the traders, smugglers, and mer-
chants aboard the ship, and her ship is always
a welcome sight in the docking bay. She makes
use of her fatherʼs resources, as well as using
the concentration of fringe elements to forge a
network of contacts of her own. Aboard the Er-
rant Venture she has often found rare items that
her customers pay dearly for, as well as trading
more mundane goods at a reasonable price.
She occasionally takes on a shipping contract,
as well, though she prefers the acquisitions
business.

The Pulsar Skate
Miraxʼs personal starship, the Pulsar Skate,
is a modified Baudo-class Star Yacht which
she uses to make all her deliveries. While not
aboard the Errant Venture, Mirax uses the
ship as he roaming home in the stars. Taking
her traveling business in rare and valuable
items from system to system has allowed her
to flourish and become one of the most fa-
mous acquisitions experts in the Galaxy. The
Pulsar Skate is a welcome sight in most all
docking bays, as its arrival typically heralds
the approach of hard-to-find objects.
