    Capsule: Arrogant, self-centered, cold—these are the words used after meeting Rendra Maex for the first time. There is a lot more to this 26-year-old than first appears, however. Raised by her father on the unforgiving world of Reuss VIII, she watched as the Reuss Corporation encroached closer and closer to the small town she lived in. Her father—a worker at one of the factories—spent his time and most of his money on the poorer residents of the town. He tried to help the rust rats—orphan children who lived outside, breathing in the contaminated air. She always heard him tell how wonderful her life was and how good it was to sacrifice oneself for the good of all. She didn’t care about that: all she wanted was to leave the planet.
    She finally left at the age of 18, knowing her father was dooming himself. He was beginning to steal Imperial foodstuffs and water to help feed the poor. In a large yelling match, she announced she was leaving, and accused him of loving everyone but her. She left her father in shock and boarded the first ship she could buy passage on. It was a week later that she heard her father had been caught and executed for stealing Imperial property. That was the last time she allowed herself to cry.
    During her travels she picked up several skills, some of which could be considered unsavory. She found she had a talent for blaster-play. An old pirate she was cooking for noticed this and showed her how to take care of a blaster and make it her own. It wasn’t long before he was hiring her out for both entertainment and business purposes. Rendra Maex was 20 when she shot down her first target for money. Soon she was making a fair amount of money as a cheap assassin and mercenary.
    After buying her ship, the Zoda, Rendra found herself working harder and harder to make ends meet. She took on a partner—Nopul—for a job in the Core and found she liked working with the Kerestian. Nopul agreed to stay on and help her pay off GalactiCore. While Nopul reminds Rendra strongly of her father, the two have become best friends.

    Capsule: When people meet Nopul Etrefa, they expect the cool, merciless killers seen in the employ of Hutts and Imperials. Nopul, however, is a Kerestian of practically another world. Long before the Kerestian sun began to cool, several sunspace colony ships were launched; the Kerestians aboard were placed in suspended animation.
    After several hundreds of years of sailing through the galaxy, one of the few surviving colony ships was stumbled across by a passing merchant freighter. On this particular ship were, among others, a Kerestian couple, the female heavy with a litter of young. Two young survived the cryotank—Nopul and his sister, Forisa. As Nopul grew he learned the fate of those Kerestians who were left on Kerest—how they became barbaric bounty hunters and body guards. When the time came for him to leave the nest, he was given a
