Voidhound The Voidhound , a member of the Coruscant Aegis who also went by the callsign " Ace " , was a smuggler who served as a privateer for the Galactic Republic during the Cold War . Biography . Arrival on Ord Mantell . During the Cold War , the smuggler who would become known as the Voidhound traveled to Ord Mantell , smuggling a shipment of weapons to a client . When the smuggler arrived , a man named Skavak met them , and gave them their payment . He suggested the smuggler leave , but before the smuggler could , Corso Riggs entered the hangar and informed Skavak and the smuggler that the separatists had blown up a military walker carrying Republic troopers to Fort Garnik , and that they had activated three anti - air towers . The smuggler , realizing they would be blown out of the sky before they left , fought through the separatists to disable the towers . Betrayal . As the smuggler disabled the towers , Corso called and said that the hangar was under attack by separatists . The smuggler rushed back to the hangar , only to find Corso injured and surrounded by separatist soldiers . After killing the separatists , the smuggler assisted Corso . While the smuggler was doing this , their ship was stolen by Skavak , who had been helping the separatists . Corso complained that his blaster Torchy had been stolen by Skavak . He told the smuggler to meet with a local crime boss , Viidu , in Fort Garnik . Working for Viidu . Meeting Reki . Arriving at Garnik , the smuggler met with Viidu , who stated that the weapons were for a crime lord named Rogun the Butcher , and the man would be furious at not getting his weapons . The smuggler , realizing Rogun would be gunning for them , agreed to help Viidu catch Skavak if they could have their ship back . He told the smuggler to meet a man named Reki in Talloran village , who was an expert on the separatists . Viidu said that Reki was behind enemy lines in a village , blockaded by Republic troops . However , he also said that he was friendly with the blockade commander and could get the smuggler in and out of the village , as long as they proved their loyalty by taking out a few separatists on the way . The smuggler set out on foot for the village , where they fought into Reki ' s safehouse and delivered supplies to the refugees inside . In exchange , Reki told the smuggler a way to decrypt one of his codebooks . However , after infiltrating the Separatist base in Mount Avilatan , it was revealed that Syreena had betrayed them while secretly working with Skavak and killed Viidu after he found out , and that Skavak had arrived hours earlier and already left , causing the smuggler to have to pursue him and the stolen ship to Coruscant . Search for Skavak . On Coruscant , the smuggler , now teamed up with Corso Riggs , visited Darmas Pollaran in order to gain assistance in locating Skavak and the stolen ship , following his trail across the planet . With Pollaran ' s assistance , the smuggler found out about Kixi , a Mirialan slicer forced to work for the Migrant Merchants ' Guild . After fighting through the Guild ' s territory and freeing her , she informed the smuggler that Skavak had already left , and that she was forced to clean his record . She gladly restored his record , however , even adding false information such as being a carrier of the Bothan Nether Rot disease . Pollaran soon came through for the smuggler again , revealing that Skavak was spotted in Black Sun territory . After piecing together the different parts of the holorecord of his meeting there , it was discovered that a lawman was pursuing him , and he needed someone to kill him . The Black Sun bounty hunter Urbax went to the hanger at the spaceport to wait for him there , but was followed by the smuggler . In the ensuring firefight , Urbax was killed , and the Sullustan constable Miel Muwn was safe . Miel and the smuggler teamed up to find Skavak , following the leads to the Justicar sector . Miel was later ambushed by the Justicars and imprisoned . Two of Darmas ' contacts , Jiik and Juul , tailed Skavak through the Justicars ' Sector . Jiik was captured by the Justicars , but not before finding out that Skavak went down into the Works . Ace managed to infiltrate the Justicars Detention Center and free both Miel and Jiik , before following Skavak down into the Works . There , the smuggler interrupted a meeting between Skavak and Imperial Commander Kasstroff , who were in the middle of the transaction involving the Murustavan Ruby . Skavak escaped , leaving Kasstroff to deal with the smuggler . Then , Miel made a sudden appearance , having snuck in the area , and ordered the arrest of the Imperials . Kasstroff ordered his men to kill Miel and the smuggler , but they were killed . Miel was killed in the firefight , but in his last breath , gave the smuggler the location of their ship , where they were met by the Bith Fabizan . They fought him and the guards guarding Skavak ' s hanger , retrieving their ship shortly afterwards . Unfortunately , Skavak had already sold all the blasters aboard , but they found something else that would interest them , in the form of Risha Drayen . Hunt for Nok Drayen ' s Treasure . Aboard the ship , Risha offered the smuggler a chance to find the lost treasure of Nok Drayen . All Ace had to do was make a few deliveries to certain planets in exchange for ship parts required to find the treasure . Taris . On Taris , the smuggler ' s contact was Beryl Thorne , a smuggler who wasn ' t on particularly good terms with Risha . She and the smuggler came to an agreement : Ace would help her with her contract and she ' d help them find the radiation vault containing astrogation charts needed for their treasure hunt . During Ace ' s business , the Republic Customs Office agent Soganti was investigating Thorne , suspecting her of smuggling Tarisian relics . Thorne tasked the smuggler with sending supplies to a Doctor Vernan in the eastern part of the resettlement zone . Thorne sent them deeper in the ruins , this time to recover some planetary core samples from a core - drilling engineer named Ovold . However , the samples were stolen by scavengers along with important equipment , and so he had to direct Ace in the direction of the pirate base instead . When Ace arrived in the pirate base , it was revealed that the thief was Tyrodall , Thorne ' s previous assistant who faked his death . He offered the smuggler some Tarisian relics , which were smuggled off planet by Thorne disguised as core samples . However , Tyrodall and Thorne had different views on who to sell them to . Thorne would rather sell them to Tarisian descendants at a lower price , while Tyrodall would ' ve rather sell them on the Imperial black market at a higher price . Ace refused the Devaronian ' s offer , resulting in a shootout that killed Tyrodall and his droid bodyguards . Ace then returned the contraband back to Thorne and confronted her for her underhanded operation , in which she admitted that she was returning the relics to the descendants of former Tarisian residents for a much smaller fee . With her contract with the Republic fulfilled , Thorne upheld her end of the deal by having a technician who had access to the Republic sensor array , locating the vault in Zone Zero , a designated no man ' s land said to harbour monsters worse than rakghoul s . Following Thorne ' s advice to ask Risha for a method to reach the vault , Ace then returned to their ship , where Risha informed them that Skavak had hired a team of mercenaries to search for the vault . After being provided with a Geonosian slicer module to open the vault , Ace disembarked , only to be confronted Soganti , who had his suspicions on how Thorne was smuggling contraband but lacked proof , and attempted to offer a generous bribe in exchange for testimony , but Ace refused to betray Thorne , forcing the defeated customs agent to leave . Ace then traveled to Transport Station 5 and fought through hordes of rakghouls until they reached Zone Zero and found Skavak ' s mercenaries just outside the vault door . The mercenary leader , Roksur , startled by Ace ' s appearance , called Skavak on the holocomm , who subsequently ordered the mercenaries to kill Ace . Ace fought back and killed the mercenaries before cracking the vault and retrieving the charts . Ace then returned to the ship , where Risha explained that the charts once belonged to a Tarisian Exchange gangster named Davik Kang , who mapped a series of uncharted hyperlanes in the between the Core Worlds and the Outer Rim . Nar Shaddaa . The next stop on the smuggler ' s itinerary was Nar Shaddaa , the Smuggler ' s Moon . The delivery made was the male Shanjaru that was held in the cargo hold in exchange for a prototype starship engine . Unfortunately , their client , Drooga the Hutt , was victim of a theft . A group of eco - terrorists had stolen his female Shanjaru , and he was no longer interested in the male the smuggler had . Fortunately , Drooga ' s servant Ga ' ram was able to assist the smuggler , giving the coordinates of the eco - terrorist base , where they met with Tyrka , one of Momi Andrell ' s friends . After convincing her that it was a misunderstanding and that they were there to help , she gave them a datapad with which they could find a Docter Lazhae . Lazhae , however , was a sadistic doctor held in Shadow Town , where he was conducting experiments on Momi . During one of the times the smuggler was on Drooga ' s pleasure barge , they wre ambushed by Rogun the Butcher ' s personal bounty hunter , Zank Helrott . With the help of the wookiee Bowdaar , whom the smuggler helped in a fight earlier , they killed him . Lazhae left the premises and sent the Shanjaru to Drooga , after which the smuggler freed Momi . While she asked for Ace to kill her , the smuggler convinced her to keep hope . She gave Ace the Shanjaru genetic samples , asking them to bring them to Coruscant , to a Twi ' lek scientist named Daru ' da . With the Shanjaru delivered , Drooga gave the starship engine , and Risha immediately started to install it . Before leaving , Drooga ordered for Bowdaar to approach . Poisoned , he was to fight a ferocious , starved gundark . Fortunately , Ace entered the fight and helped kill it . Drooga decided that the Wookiee was no longer worth the costs , and let him free . Bowdaar made a new addition to the crew shortly after . Ambush on the " Celestial Crow " . After finishing business on Nar Shaddaa , Ace was contacted by Captain Feylara Raed of the " Celestial Crow " , who said that her ship was damaged and was drifting towards a sun . However , it was revealed to be a ruse : Feylara was an old flame of Skavak ' s , and was hoping to regain his affections by killing the smuggler . While protecting herself with a ray shield , she ordered assassin droids to kill Ace , although the smuggler easily overcame them . When her ray shield dispersed , Skavak cut the transmission , leaving her with the smuggler . Ace let her live , telling her to find someone better . Tatooine . One of the parts required for the ship was a sensor computer stolen from one of Nok Drayen ' s warehouses following his death . It was stolen by none other than Drayen ' s rival , Diago Hixan , who was seldom seen nowadays . Fortunately , one of Hixan ' s men , Tookreek , was willing to help get a meeting . Unfortunately , the means to meet Hixan , a small Krayt Dragon tooth , was lost when Geonosians attacked one of their warehouses and killed the lieutenant holding it , and the men tasked with finding it were slain in a fight which involved Jedi Knight Nariel Pridence . Fighting their way through the Geonosians , the smuggler found the Krayt Dragon tooth on a desk in the upper office of the warehouse . At that moment , a Sith , Vaverone Zare , walked in , admitting to be the one who sent the Geonosians to the warehouse in the hope of attracting Hixan ' s attention . Believing the smuggler to be one of Hixan ' s men , she tried to convince Ace to get her a meeting with him . When the Krayt Dragon tooth was brought back to Tookreek at Hixan ' s summer palace , he revealed where Hixan was located : The Lightspring , located deep in the desert . At that moment , Imperials under Vaverone Zare began to attack the palace . After fighting their way out , Ace travelled to the Lightspring to confront Diago Hixan and retrieve the sensor computer . However , already present there was Nariel Pridence , and shortly afterwards Vaverone Zare arrived as well . Risha also contacted the smuggler , not having heard from Ace in a while , unaware that Hixan was present . She cut the transmission shortly , angering Hixan . A fight broke out shortly afterwards , resulting in the deaths of Diago Hixan , Tookreek and Vaverone Zare . Alderaan . With the sensor computer installed , Ace and his crew set course for Alderaan . There , the smuggler was to deliver an ancient GNK droid to members of House Teraan . The nobles tasked the smuggler with retrieving an ancient datapad from their house , which had been taken over by the displaced House Baliss . After returning the datapad along with some of the treasures of House Teraan , Risha gave Ace the next job : The preserved head of the Sith Lord Darth Bandon , which was to be delivered to the curator of the House Alde museum in exchange for an Arkanian hyperdrive . By the time they got there however , Skavak had already traded a fake head for the hyperdrive . Ace quickly gave chase after “ borrowing ” one of House Alde ’ s speeder bikes , but Skavak shut down the hanger blast doors as they arrived , forcing the smuggler to override the door . That gave Skavak enough time to flee to the Rhu Caenus Spaceport in Imperial territory , where he could safely install the hyperdrive . Fortunately , Risha was able to blackmail a noble , Baron Venar , into giving Ace a spaceport pass in order to access Skavak ’ s hanger . Inside was a group of mercenaries payed by him to guard his ship and a Neimoidian mechanic named Vonddado Briimyo who was held there by Skavak to install the hyperdrive . He was let free and took a shuttle out of there while Ace took the hyperdrive back to Risha . As Ace was about to leave , Cedonia Teraan contacted them by holo : Following their theft at the Baliss estate , Duke Baliss sent his son Xin Baliss to challange Lenn Teraan to a blaster duel to the death . But as Lenn didn ’ t learn to master the blaster , they asked Ace to fight as their champion . In a swift duel in the Teraan suite , the famed duelist was slain . Lenn and Cedonia fled Alderaan shortly afterwards before House Baliss attempted more attacks . Ambush on Tatooine . As they departed Alderaan , Risha got a holo from an old friend , Juran , who said that his wife Audila , another old friend of Risha ’ s , was kidnapped by assassins and held in an abandoned Czerka mining complex on Tatooine . They immediately left for Tatooine once more , making their way deep in the facility . When Risha and Ace arrived , the assassins revealed they never intended to let Audila live , as their “ liege ” had ordered for there to be no witnesses . They were killed , although Audila blamed Risha for the event happening in the first place . Thanks to Ace , they parted on decent terms , and Risha promised to tell her one day why it happened , and to trust her in the meantime . The Final Stretch . After gathering all the supplies that Ace ' s ship needed , the crew went to a special facility on Nar Shaddaa to deliver the man in the cargo hold , still frozen in carbonite . The facility was a medical center , which had only ever taken care of one individual - none other than Crime lord Nok Drayen , who , after being betrayed by one of his most trusted lieutenants and being infected with an incurable virus , had himself frozen . He revealed Risha to be his daughter and only child . He gave Ace the coordinates the smuggler needed to head to a ship with his entire fortune aboard - a ship that had for years been slowly sucked in by a black hole in a deadly region of space known as The Long Shadow . After fighting through an army of ancient droids , the smuggler found the fortune - sealed in a vault , and guarded by even more , much more powerful droids . After defeating them , Ace unlocked the vault , and it was revealed the fortune was one , single object : the lost , and priceless crown of the planet Dubrillion , of which Nok Drayen was the rightful heir to its throne . Ace headed back to the ship to find none other than Skavak , who had stored himself aboard . In a swift but brutal gunfight , Skavak was killed , and Ace retrieved Torchy . Heading back to Nar Shaddaa , Ace came into the facility as Nok Drayen was dying . He told Risha to kill Ace , take the crown , and take back the throne of Dubrillion . She refused , and with his dying words , he told Risha , his only heir to his legacy , his only daughter , how disappointed he was in her . Risha swore to take back the throne , and Ace couldn ' t help but ponder what it would be like to be ruler of a whole world - specifically , all the wealth that would come with it . Republic Privateer . Shortly after retrieving Nok Drayen ’ s fortune , Ace ’ s crew was contacted by none other than Darmas Polleran , the man who helped them find Skavak on Coruscant . He asked to meet the smuggler at Port Nowhere to offer a business proposition . Ambush at Port Nowhere . Ace and Darmas were attacked by Rogun ' s men while in Port Nowhere , and met Senator Bevera Dodonna , who told the two of Harridax Kirill , also known as " The Voidwolf , " and how Rogun was his right - hand man - indeed his lapdog - and that to stop the Voidwolf , Ace would have to take out Rogun and his criminal empire . Ace became a privateer for the Galactic Republic , Dodonna acting as benefactor . Ace went on to support the Republic and take down and take over Rogun ' s criminal empire . This included securing Project Nebula on Balmorra , terminating Rogun ' s supporters in the White Maw pirate organization stationed on Hoth and forming a partnership with Rogun ' s old mentor , Ivory , whom Rogun had attempted to assassinate in his prison cell on Belsavis . The Voidhound also shut down Rogun the Butcher ' s illegal smuggling ring on Voss . Eventually it was revealed that Dodonna and Darmas had lied : Rogun was , in fact , working against the Voidwolf , and Dodonna had sold out the Republic in exchange for a promise by the Empire that she would get her own planet to rule , and all the work she had Ace do was helping the Empire , not the Republic . Darmas was later revealed to be an undercover Imperial Agent . This caused Rogun to accost Ace as a traitor when he was cornered on Tatooine . Rogun fought with Ace to take down the Sith Purebloods sent to eliminate them both by the Voidwolf himself , realizing that the smuggler had been tricked . From then on , Rogun agreed to work together with Ace , leaving for Port Nowhere to gather support for their mutual cause while his wayward employee continued the fight against the Voidwolf . Darmas and Dodonna were taken into custody by Ace for their betrayal , and Ace later killed the Voidwolf after a firefight aboard his flagship , the " Regnant " . In an attempt to escape , Kirill threw a grenade , but Ace calmly picked it up and threw it back just in time for it to detonate . In killing the Voidwolf , Ace gained control of his pirate fleet , but was at a crossroads on how to use it . Ace could then pledge the fleet to the Republic or abandon any interest in politics and become a pirate , attacking both the Empire and the Republic . Ultimately , Ace chose to aid the Republic Upon returning to Corellia , Ace was met by Supreme Commander Rans and Supreme Chancellor Saresh , who awarded the smuggler the Medal of Service ( at the time , the highest decoration that could be bestowed upon a civilian ) , and extended a renewed offer of privateer sponsorship . Accepting , Ace departed Corellia with an eclectic group of companions , in search of new adventures . Continued travels . The Voidhound ' s journeys throughout the galaxy eventually land the smuggler on Rishi , where the Voidhound reunited with Beryl Thorne , who had a business proposition . Since the Republic - Hutt Cartel alliance , Garblaque the Hutt had planned to leave known space in his luxury dreadnaught called " Haven " on a ten - year pleasure cruise , believing the war would be over when he returns , but the Hutt had to auction off the seats to pay for the voyage . Thorne had learned that the pirates in Raider ' s Cove had stolen dozens of tickets and she plans to steal them to sell them for ten times the price and split the profit between the two smugglers . However , the pirates had stashed their tickets all over town and there was no time to search every hiding place . The Voidhound followed Thorne ' s instructions to conduct raids on the pirates ' property , spooking the pirates to send out courier droids to retrieve their tickets . The Voidhound found one such crate carrying the tickets , but was attacked by a Houk pirate who laid claim to them . After dispatching the pirate , the Voidhound returned to Thorne with two dozen tickets in tow , only to learn that the loot was less than valuable , which was reserved for ammonia - breathers and non - humanoids on deck seven . The Voidhound then offers their opinion on how to utilize those tickets and how Thorne should continue her life . Following Revan ' s defeat and the resurrection of the Sith Emperor on Yavin 4 , Theron Shan personally handed the Voidhound a card programmed with authorization codes from the director of the SIS that would grant the smuggler immunity from Republic prosecution of any kind . The Voidhound was tasked with taking any jobs available to get a lead on the former Emperor ' s whereabouts . Personality and traits . Intelligent , flirtatious , and often times humorous in the face of threat , the Voidhound was always able to get out of a situation , either through charm or blasters . Voidhound was willing to take most jobs in the name of credits yet never turned against the Republic , even if they caused trouble for it ' s members at times . The privateer also made use ' s of scatter gun , stealth belt , dual wielding blaster pistol ' s , flash bang ' s even a groin kick which they use of their survival . Behind the scenes . This article represents the character story of the smuggler player class in " " , a video game from LucasArts and BioWare . As a result of being player determined , no canonical description of this individual is currently available ; therefore , the article presents the subject ' s gender as neutral . The male smuggler is voiced by Maury Sterling and the female smuggler is voiced by Kath Soucie . The smuggler can be a member of several species : human , Mirialan , Twi ' lek , Zabrak and cyborg . With game update 1 . 2 , smugglers could access Imperial species : Rattataki , Chiss , and Sith Pureblood . However , an in - game dialogue with an Imperial commander , in which the smuggler pretends to be a Chiss Aristocra , suggests the smuggler was not , in fact , a Chiss . With Game Update 2 . 1 , the Cathar will also be a potential species . According to Hall Hood , the writer in charge of maintaining consistency throughout the Republic storylines , the decision to make the Smuggler a Republic class was inspired by Han Solo ' s loyalty to the Rebel Alliance in the original trilogy . Solo ' s personality and comments during the trilogy was also a large inspiration for much of the comedic content for the class .
