Sevari Sidestep
this was the smuggler term for the safest way to gain access to the planet Sevarcos, without being captured. It required a pilot to exit hyperspace as close to the Sevarcos System's asteroid belt as possible, thereby avoiding immediate attention. Then, after disabling the ship's gravity-mass overrides, the spacer had to cruise at top speed into near-orbit to the largest planetoid between their position and Sevarcos. The ship's shields had to be angled correctly, so that small debris deflected "naturally" off the spacer's ship. This part of the maneuver helped the ship hide from regular patrols. To reach Sevarcos, the spacer then hopped from asteroid to asteroid until they were close enough to make a direct run for the planet.
