How to get Shielded Cargo

These ship modules can be acquired from the vendor Lon Anderssen at The Red Mile in Porrima 3. Speak with him to access the shipbuilder menu, and from there, you can attach either of the two onto your ship.

Shielded Cargo can also be purchased from Jasmine, located at The Key Space Station. However, buying it from her requires you to join the Crimson Fleet Faction.

The Deception Skill also comes in handy as it reduces the effectiveness of the scans when entering a planet.

Smuggle Mr Sood's Package In To Akila City

Once you successfully smuggle it, you have to deliver the package to Tom Starrett. Carrying contraband in the orbits of the Settled Systems is considered illegal. Space authorities will check your spaceship. If the scanner picks up the contraband item, you will be forced to pay a bounty and give up the illegal item.
