Clancy, Kal
this man was Taryn Clancy's father, a free-trader by nature who spent much of his career away from home. When Taryn was sixteen, he finally allowed her to accompany him aboard his starship, the Lassen. She became a capable pilot, and served as Kal' co-pilot on many runs. Unfortunately, Kal's method of showing his pride in Taryn's performance manifested itself in scathing criticism of her mistakes. Although saddened by her choice to join the Core Courier Service, Kal was never prouder than when his daughter achieved her position as pilot of the Messenger.
