Just make sure you're not caught with your smuggling.
The TEF will imprison you, and either Sith will probably have worse in store.
Though you could always deal with the Mandalorians. They always have money and they love weapons, tech, and ammunition, plus they rarely ask questions. If you can avoid geting shot for charging (percived) high prices and can avoid getting nervous staring into a crowd of silent, heavily armored and armed masked warriors, then you could make a profit.

Yeah, plus, being wanted by one faction or another is all part of being a smuggler. If I do get caught, it's all more adventure fodder for me.

I don’t really have a problem with transporting foods, medical, weapons, or even people to and from the three major players as Cale listed.
And even if I wasn’t a mare smuggler, the only thing I’d be hauling for Nakara's operation is his butt to the nearest black hole.

Smuggling tips from a pro:
What sells to warriors is contraband and things that make them feel good.
Alchohol, porno mags, drugs, kit that their quartermaster doesn't have, all sell well. For the TEF, assuming you can find their staging grounds, running foodstuffs from Tett would make you a tidy profit, things like candies and pasteries.
What sells in sith space is Republic Tech. The Republic, on average, is usually more advanced than the Sith. Comlinks, Tools, and vehicle components would fetch a high price. knives and blades as well since the Sith enjoy such things.

Sounds good to me. I'm not a drug dealer, I just provide goods and/or services to those who both want and afford them. Any local regulations against the carrying out of that idea are the laws I ignore.
EDIT: Thanks for the tips, Cale

When I say drugs, I mean things like tabacc and joydust, a really low grade spice. Just enough to get a buzz.
Another idea: Stims. Soldiers love stims. If you find a supply, you can sell them to men on the front lines.

Hmm. good idea. One question, though. What exactly does TEF stand for?

elvisnake Hmm. good idea. One question, though. What exactly does TEF stand for? Tett Expeditionary Force, IE the military presence that Tett has in the area. Its disguising itself as Sith and Pirate forces to disrupt Lyrran Expansionism into Republic Space as well as sow distrust among the Sith. If you can find their staging grounds, thats 200+ battleships worth of potential customers you can sell ammunition, cigarrettes, alchohol, and Tettan double chocolate biscuits to.

Awesome.
Hmm. I've been thinking about picking up an astromech before I leave Onderon. Again, there's pretty much no record on tech in our era, I was maybe thinking of getting like a "T9" droid or something. Like a T3, but more modern.

K-Blade Scavenging battle sites for salvageable tech is something we can do. Tet Expeditionary Force. question You've a tough road ahead of you if you try to clean up after a battle Tett Won. Standard military policy is to pick up the enemy salvage and reuse it as according to its quality. Mostly intact battleships are patched up, cleaned out, rewired and become additions to the fleet. most other debris is melted down to patch repairs. Dunno what the Sith do, though.

So the TEF is Republic, and the other two are Sith, right?
