Lumrunners is a short story co-written by John Beyer and Wayne Humfleet that was originally published in Star Wars Adventure Journal 9 by West End Games in Feburary 1996.The Corellian PB-950 Lumrunner is detained at Gallisport and inspected by Imperial Captain Alijah Orr. The smuggler crew, under the command of Captain Shamus Millennium Falconi, waits nervously as the inspection begins – there are hidden weapons among the cargo. Unsatisfied with the negative result of the search, Orr orders in a scanning crew. All they find is lum (an alcoholic beverage) and Corellian wine. He forces a Wookiee crewmember to drink some of the wine as a test for poison. Again, no contraband is found, although several stormtroopers got their armour dyed blue in the process. Furious, he orders them out of the system in an hour. He then learns the next ship in is Platt Okeefe’s Last Chance. Millennium Falconi then meets with Captain of the Port Renea Luies and thanks him for hiding the contraband.
