The Hutt thinks the plan of planting goods on Thakba is a beautiful way to get back at him for screwing over Bargos and turning the mine into a death trap for the team. Thakba has his brand new freighter which he has spent loads of money on, tens of millions of credits. Bargos has a load of very, very illegal goods that the Empire would love to catch someone with. Bargos will agree that if the team discretely deliver some of the cargo into the cargo bay of Thakba’s new freighter Bargos would increase their pay. Thakba’s freighter is currently docked in the planet based ship yards and is completely ready to make its maiden voyage. There is a patrol that goes around the doors to the dockyards, but a couple of delivery uniforms and a forged cargo order can easily gain access to load the cargo into the freighter.
Xander and Roona are chosen to break in. Roona manages to steal delivery uniforms. Skipping the need for a cargo order, Xander manages to hack his way past a few doors. They slip the cargo into the freighter and disappear into the night.
The next day the group is on hand to watch the festivities at the launch party. Bargos will arrive early and will schmoose with the other Hutts. The group will notice that there are two Hutts exchanging rather heated words just off from the elevated platform. They will notice that the larger of the Hutts has definitely some problem with the smaller of the Hutts whom is trying to play whatever it is as nothing. The smaller one will take the
elevated platform and a protocol droid will begin speaking giving the opening announcement.
"Greetings fellow Hutts and investors. Today marks a great day in the Honorable Thakba Besadii Diori’s continued wealth. He has cleverly invested in his markets and has earned the respect of his peers by building the massive freighter Iridescent Pearl. It will be launching for its maiden voyage to the core worlds where it will bring profits to all its investors and most to the Great Thakba Besadii Diori. Please join in the celebration of this momentous occasion."
Thakba will then take over, thanking himself and his glorious and clever mind and explaining the numbers and profitability of the freighter. The other one (whom must be Narrta) sits back on his lounge area and looks on with thinly veiled contempt for Thakba. Bargos, whom looks very out of place amongst these very hefty and thick Hutts, with a subtle smile is typing away on a data pad. He gives the data pad to Genko who will give it to Ymira to deliver to Narrta the Hutt. As the smartly dressed Mirialan approaches, she will be stopped by guards who grab the data pad, scan it, and then give it to Narrta without talking.
Narrta will at first read it with widening eyes, then have an almost violent glare that he shoots at Bargos, whom is smiling contently to himself, seemingly enjoying Thakba’s speech. He will then go back to reading and get a wicked smile looking from Bargos to Thakba and then back to the pad, where he presses a few buttons then hands it back to his guards to hand to Ymira. She quickly walks back, trying to discreetly see what the datapad might indicate. Ymira gives it back to Genko whom flies it up to Bargos. Bargos will smile and nod to Narrta and put away the datapad and listen contently to Thakba whom seems to be slightly going on from a speech about his great abilities at negotiations and powerful connections, to his ability to pay well and how he will soon be above anyone who doesn`t join his growing trading empire.
Bargos then gives Genko a signal and Genko moves away and makes a call. In a few short minutes the Iridescent Pearl can be seen leaving its port. It is not particularly beautiful, it is however remarkable as it is a very large freighter that can actually fly down to a planet and back, opening up many markets.

The event is now over; all of the Hutts want to avoid Imperial entanglement as much as possible; they depart with little fuss as Thakba now tends to his bruised ego and finances, as he calculates how much it will cost him to get out of this mess. Bargos gloats heavily in Huttese as the groups retreat to their private transports. Narrta seems to be in a better mood and discusses future business arrangements with Bargos and schedules a meeting with Bargos shortly in the future. Bargos is in the best mood any of the group has ever seen him before. He invites the group to meet him in three days for their reward and payment.
