It opens with Red Carney making a deal to smuggle guns for a major crime boss.

However, Red doesn't have a ship. Knowing the crime boss will have him killed if the gun run isn't completed before the deadline, Red has to think quickly.

Red poses as a Nexus Force mechanic in order to steal a ship from one of the repair bays on Gnarled Forest. He makes off with the Swift, a tired and battered old fuel tanker that he just hopes will last long enough to make the run. He lays in a course for Smuggler's Bay to pick up the guns.

However, when he gets there, he runs into Dark Nova. Dark Nova steals the Swift, and maroons Red in the middle of nowehere on Portalis Mar. Red meets his sidekick and friend Harry Fish there. With no ship to get off the world chunk, Red and Harry decide to restore an old Bulldog that has been sitting in the woods for years in the hopes of getting off the chunk someday. Red realizes he is fairly safe from the crime boss there, so he has time.

Unexpectedly, Yamyam shows up in the Swift, and reveals that it was his first starship, hence why his friend Dark Nova had stolen it for him. He offers to bring in parts for Red's project to make it up to him.
