Bix Caleen

Bix Caleen was a female human mechanic who was the owner of the Caleen Salyard on the Free Trade sector planet of Ferrix. She worked alongside Timm Karlo, who was also her lover. She was close with her ex-boyfriend, Cassian Andor, who trusted her greatly. She also had offworld connections, namely Luthen Rael. When Andor informed her he was looking to sell a valuable item, Caleen contacted Rael, who was already interested in meeting Andor. When Preox-Morlana security forces arrived on Ferrix to arrest Andor, who had killed two of their officers, Caleen learned that Karlo had informed on Andor and ran to help him.

However, she was beaten and handcuffed by several officers, and when Karlo attempted to help her, he was shot and killed. Caleen was later freed by two men, Salman Paak and his son Wilmon. Some time after the Preox-Morlana security forces incident, Bix was interrogated by ISB Supervisor Dedra Meero and tortured under her orders in her search for leads to Andor. After a lengthy captivity, she was freed by Andor amid a riot, and they fled Ferrix alongside their friends Wilmon Paak and Brasso, settling on the agricultural world Mina-Rau. A year later, Imperial forces invaded their relative tranquility while Andor was away on a mission for Rael, and though he returned in time to rescue her and Paak, Brasso was killed.

Andor and Caleen spent the next year living in Rael's safehouse on the Imperial capital of Coruscant, where she was tormented by nightmares of her torturer Doctor Gorst and took to taking drugs to alleviate them while Andor ran increasingly dangerous missions for Rael. The two eventually moved to a new home on the Rebel base of Yavin 4, though not until Caleen had her revenge upon Gorst by killing him in a raid on an Imperial Security Bureau facility. However, Andor grew increasingly content with the couple's life on Yavin and expressed his intent to retire in 2 BBY, leading Caleen—who believed Andor's role in the coming war to be too important—to flee and go into hiding, telling Andor to find her when they had defeated the Empire. She settled back on Mina-Rau, where she gave birth to her and Andor's child several months later, though Andor died at the Battle of Scarif the following year; his sacrifice ensured the Rebellion was able to destroy the Death Star at the forthcoming Battle of Yavin.
