Legend

a native of the planet Drall, Kaj stowed away on the smuggling ship of Zevel Hortine and learned to be a smuggler. At the age of seventeen, he set out on his own. He was one of the Nar Shaddaan smugglers who agreed to help Bria Tharen fly troop and rescue ships during the Battle of Ylesia. Years later, he teamed up with Celia Durasha, taking her much the same way Hortine had taken him in, after finding her stowed away aboard his ship, the Tryan Kajme. However, Kaj wasn't as good a sabacc player as he was a spacer, and he found himself heavily in debt to Rass M'Guy. This only added to the debt Kaj already owed Bwahl the Hutt, after failing to deliver a cargo of spice to the Gordian Reach, which was blockaded by the Empire. In an effort to pay off both Bwahl and Rass, Kaj convinced Celia to allow him to give an entire shipment of weapons - which they had been contracted by Bwahl to deliver to Tammuz-an - to Rass. Kaj then planned to play some sabacc and run enough spice to pay back Bwahl. Celia reluctantly agreed, but feared that something bad might happen. After Rass took the weapons as payment for the interest Kaj owed him, Kaj gave serious consideration to joining the Alliance. He hoped to avoid any further legal entanglements by joining up, but Celia asked him to stay out of the war. Before they could get very far from Ord Mantell, the Tryan Kajme was pulled from hyperspace by one of Bwahl's ships. They were forced to crashland on Ord Mantell, and Kaj was lost. He was captured by the bounty hunter known as Thune, who used Celia as an unwitting accomplice to capture Treytis Prash as well. Thune planned to return Kaj to Bwahl, and turn Prash and Celia over to the Empire. Celia and Prash managed to subdue Thune, and Kaj shot her Gank partner. Thune, however, came back to consciousness and managed to stab Kaj through the heart with a heavy knife. Kaj held on long enough for Celia and Prash to escape, and was eventually rescued by U-THR. The droid had finally had enough of Thune's bounty hunting, and helped Kaj stun her. Kaj then recovered the Y-Wing in which Celia and Prash had escaped, and they all made off with the Faceted. Kaj and Celia renamed the ship to Starlight Red, and recruited U-THR to help them out in their smuggling activites.
