May the Fourth be With You, Part 3: The Blue Viper

The Blue Viper is a Y-wing starship owned by Miishwik, a Rodian. His partner in crime is Loala Reshi, an ex-slave turned Sith apprentice, who further her master's agenda through acts of murder, theft, and terrorism. The third member of the team is Miishwik's astromech droid, R6-D7, who has developed a quirky, sadistic personality of its own.

See Parts 1 and 2 for the new Twi'lek Sith Apprentice and Rodian Marauder templates. Rules for astromech droids appear in the main rulebook.

LOALA RESHI, Twi'lek Sith apprentice

Loala is a Twi'lek with deep blue skin, whose beauty is only slightly marred by a few prominent scars. In order to remain as unimpeded and mobile as possible--and also to distract her enemies--she wears very little clothing (unless the local climate demands otherwise).

Loala was born into slavery far from her race's homeworld. After serving a succession of cruel masters, she was purchased (or stolen) by a Sith Lord who saw the power of the Force within her. This new master proved to be her most abusive one yet, but he promised her power beyond imagining. Soon after his promise started to show results, however, he vanished without a trace--possibly slain by a Jedi Knight, captured by a more powerful Sith, or gone on some sudden, lengthy quest. Left on her own, Loala continued to practice her dark powers, and seeks out opportunities to use (or misuse) them in new ways. While trolling the underworld for means to support herself, she met Miishwik. Her powers impressed him enough that they have been partners in crime ever since.

MIISHWIK, Rodian marauder

Miishwik is remarkably tall and muscular for a Rodian. He wears dark leather clothing when not in his spacesuit, and carries at least one gun at all times--even when asleep.

Miishwik began his career as a bounty hunter but then expanded his horizons to include assassination and piracy. He is both pleased and frightened to have a "sorceress" as a partner: Loala's powers help them complete more unusual contracts, and get more of them, but he is fully aware that she might turn on him at any time for reasons that only a Sith could fathom.

R6-D7, astromech droid

This astromech droid is covered with blue-gray panels that bear the marks of burns and hasty past repairs. Its inner workings, however, are in excellent condition thanks to Miishwik's mechanical skills.

R6-D7 is the navigator and co-pilot of the Blue Viper. Its personality program has warped over time, giving it a strong sadistic streak. It enjoys inflicting pain on living things with its tools. It also takes much vicarious pleasure in Miishwik's cold-blooded violence, so is content to remain with him and Loala as long as they continue to provide him with entertainment and spare parts.
