Gorak's lucky credit

Gorak's lucky credit was a fake charm that in reality was just a normal credit.

In 3 ABY, Kay Vess spoke with a human individual while both were on Achra Station in the Akiva system. During the conversation the thug offered to buy Nix, Vess's Merqaal companion, commenting that they had heard that Merqaals were lucky. Instead, Vess offered them a normal credit but lied and said that it was a lucky charm that belonged to the Pyke Syndicate underboss Gorak Palas. As part of her lie, Vess told the thug that the credit had deflected a blaster bolt while in Palas's pocket and that he later used it to win a fortune while gambling. When questioned about how it ended up in Vess's possession, she told them that Nix had stolen it. Convinced by Vess's lie, the human purchased the credit for 250 credits.
