New player here, haven't played a game yet, but I decided to start simple and just have 1 fraction in my first list, so here it is

1 wookie life debt

1 asteroid sanctuary

1 raise the stakes

1 escape from ord mantell

2 questionable contracts

2 renegade squadron mobilization

2 prepare for evacuation

I assume that is a okay way of writing the list out?

It's fine and mono faction is fine as well. I would suggest getting two copies of Edge of Darkness soonish if you want to play Smugglers. And your deck seems very character heavy. Maybe take out prep for evac.

Yep i plan to get a second copy

only just got my cards so far

If you find yourself short on resources I'd consider dropping Ord Mantell and adding 1x Trust Me. Comes with a resource, resource killer, fate card and Lando! Plus the objective can cancel some nasty DS events.
