Smugglers are similar to traders except that they sell goods where it is illegal, on the black market. Smugglers have to use stealth, cunning and special equipment to outwit the Police and sometimes military authorities, especially around stations, to sell their goods at a profit while escaping fines and a criminal record. Smugglers can also be a special case of couriers, where the player is asked to transport forbidden items.

To make their way into a station the smuggler must be stealthy and quick. Generally one must reduce their signature by turning off unnecessary modules and turning on silent running to glide past the authority vessels and into the docking bay without being scanned.^{[citation needed]}
