Legend

known on Socorro as Chu'la, Kaine was a smuggler of some repute who often worked with Toob Ancher. Early in his career, Kaine was a gifted pilot who served the Black Bha'lir, and was referred to as the "Socorran Scourge" by many independent spacers. He married a young Socorran woman, and they would have lived together with a son if the wife hadn't died at childbirth. The infant, whom Kaine named Drake, was brought into the world by his father and a Coynite warrior named Tra'Parr'Sratt. It was Sratt who gave Drake the nickname Lom, which meant "freedom" in the Coynite language. Over the years, Kaine's smuggling activities attracted the notice of Abdi-Badawzi, who never failed to become angry with Kaine's independent streak. Eventually, the Twi'lek captured the thirty-five-year-old Kaine and held him captive, forcing Drake to take on a mission with Elias Halbert in order to free him. The mission went as planned, and Kaine was freed to return to his son. Kaine met his untimely death when he was killed by the Twi'lek Izzat on Thrugii, while trying to deliver smuggled supplies to the miners there. This left Drake to take over the smuggling business, having learned everything Kaine could teach him.
