Secret Cargo Compartments

Secret Cargo Compartments
Up to three people can fit in each ton of space in a secret compartment (secret compartments require a lot of space to even attempt to conceal). If more than 20 percent of a ship’s cargo space is taken up by secret compartments, customs officials are likely to become suspicious merely on grounds of simple mathematics: “You’re trying to tell me that a ship this size has capacity for only 60 tons of cargo? What kind of fool do you take me for, smuggler?“
The cost for secret compartments depends upon how secret they are. There are three different grades of compartments:

Concealed: Requires a Difficult Perception roll to locate, but a scanner will detect it immediately.
Cost: 200 credits per ton of cargo to be hidden.
Weight: 5 tons from cargo capacity for 1 ton of cargo space.

Hidden. Requires a Very Difficult Perception roll to locate with the naked eye; a scanner will find it on a Moderate Perception roll.
Cost: 400 credits per ton of cargo to be hidden.
Weight: 5 tons of cargo capacity for 1 ton of cargo space.

Scanner Resistant: Requires a Very Difficult Perception roll to locate, does not show up on scanners at all.
Cost: 1,000 credits per ton of cargo to he hidden.
Weight: 5 tons of cargo capacity for 1 ton of cargo space.
