Sylvestri Yarrow

Sylvestri Yarrow, nicknamed Syl, was a human female pilot and hauler who lived during the High Republic Era. The daughter of Chancey Yarrow, Sylvestri inherited her mother's starship, the Switchback, at the age of eighteen after Chancey's apparent death in a Nihil attack. Sylvestri, her copilot Neeto Janajana, and her ancient security droid M-227 attempted to make a living as traders, but the galactic instability caused by the pirates led to them barely scraping by. An encounter with the Nihil in the Berenge sector, during which Sylvestri and Janajana discovered that the pirates had somehow developed the ability to knock ships out of hyperspace, led them to abandon the Switchback. Sylvestri had wanted to stay and fight, but Janajana persuaded her that a last stand was futile and that it was imperative they report the Nihil's new capabilities to the Galactic Republic and Jedi.
