The galaxy-wide smuggler network known as Ista thrives on one unshakable principle: money, money, and more money. Their operations span far and wide, with Dara serving as a goldmine for their insatiable trade ambitions. From high-tech weaponry and rare armor to magical artifacts, Ista smuggles anything of value off Dara’s surface to supply eager buyers across the stars.

While their greed knows no bounds, their methods vary. Some factions within Ista even traffic in slaves—a practice that has sparked fierce internal conflicts among their ranks. Smugglers aren’t concerned with winning battles; their success lies in outmaneuvering enemies, dodging conflict, and ensuring their precious cargo reaches Dara’s orbiting space stations, where it’s primed for lucrative export.
