If you know what you're doing, yes, it does have its benefits. And of course, the credits for it.
[A man like Maul couldn't exactly afford to do regular business with Imperial customs and their endless, interminable inspections and ever-increasing number of fees, though a well-placed bribe to the right officer could always do the trick. And good smugglers don't come cheap.]
Hyperspace is how ships in my universe travel across the stars. It requires up to date star charts and precise astrogation calculations. I'm not certain how the hyperdrives or their equivalent work here yet, but I would be surprised if they functioned on the same principles.
I am not a xenobiologist, but I believe I have heard it has something to do with solar winds or some such. They feed on types of energy found only in space in lieu of more conventional terrestrial fare.
[Linhardt desiring to see "a big one" does draw a bemused smile from Maul; most people upon hearing of such creatures wouldn't be so enthusiastic about trying to find them. Odd one, this fellow.]
I've heard of creatures nesting in asteroids, hibernating inside the rock and coming out when potential food comes by. Or they simply sail between the stars under their own power. It does not pay to go looking for such creatures without good cause, or failing that, payment.
Ah? And you will seek this treasure, will you? Despite your inexperience as a space traveler? You are a scholar of some form or another, are you not?
