Vette

Vette, born Ce'na, was a female Twi'lek thief, pirate, assassin and escape artist born on Ryloth during the Great Galactic War. When she was still very young, Vette, her mother Diida and her older sister Tivva were captured by slavers and forced to work in Ryloth mines, before being sold separately off-world. Vette exchanged several masters, ending with a Gran "Three Eyes" by the age of seven or eight. She was rescued from slavery by the legendary pirate Nok Drayen and accepted an offer to join his crew, befriending his daughter Risha. After several years Vette left Nok Drayen's gang and joined with Twi'lek artifact hunters Taunt, Plasmajack, and Flash, returning stolen Twi'lek artifacts to their people. One of their marks was a rich Duros named Cada Bliss, who retaliated by setting them with a lucrative job offer on Korriban, where Vette was caught sneaking inside the Tomb of Naga Sadow and imprisoned in the jail of Korriban Sith Academy.

For her knowledge of the Tomb, Vette was given as a "gift" by Sith Lord Darth Baras to his Sith apprentice, whom she helped to reach a hidden passage inside, after which Baras allowed the apprentice to keep her. Vette traveled for a long time with her new master, who was eventually betrayed by Darth Baras and almost died on Quesh, but was rescued by the Emperor's Hand and proclaimed the new Emperor's Wrath before killing Baras in the Dark Council Chambers. During this time, Vette reconnected with her old gang, helping Taunt and the others retrieve a priceless artifact called the Star of Kala'unn from Cada Bliss. Gaining access to Imperial communications and some money of her own, Vette hired a tracker to search for her family, locating her sister Tivva on Nar Shaddaa and buying her freedom. The sisters also worked to find their mother, but tragically found her on Tatooine mere days after she succumbed to the grueling work.

The Empire's Wrath went missing early in the Eternal Empire conquest, and Vette escaped Imperial space before the Eternal Empire of Zakuul rolled over it. Years later, she joined with a Devaronian con artist Gault Rennow and the two planned to rob Zakuulan treasury ship Gilded Star. Gault recruited the Alliance that opposed Zakuul to aid them, while sending Vette to retrieve a warhead from a missile he ordered from the Brekken Gang on Vandin. The Alliance members Senya Tirall and SCORPIO infiltrated the ship's bridge and opened a path for Vette and Gault to sneak inside, where Vette disabled the ship vault's security mechanisms, allowing Gault to plant the missile warhead inside. The warhead's detonation vaporized the vault' entire content of precious metals that was then pumped into the Alliance tanker, after which Vette and Gault traveled to the Alliance base on Odessen and decided to join the cause, later participating in the battle of Odessen. While reclaiming the Gravestone from the Eternal Empress Vaylin, Vette and other Alliance personnel were trapped by ARIES on the artificial world called Iokath, where Vette worked closely with the Alliance Commander to find their way out and escape before the world was covered in a radiation pulse. When Vaylin launched an assault on Odessen, Vette joined the defense, using Vette missile launchers to destroy enemy heavy. However, this gave away her position and the Alliance Commander was forced to choose between rescuing either Vette or Mandalorian warrior Torian Cadera first, with their second choice being captured and later killed by Vaylin on the Alliance landing platform.
