Legend

this Aqualish ship captain owned and operated the Nanda's Luck during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Known to his comrades as Bippi, he was a gruff master who rewarded loyalty and service among his crew. His years of experience on the oceans of Ando were evident on his body, which was scarred and repaired in many places. Bippi had an artificial leg, an archaic and painful prosthetic eye, and a cybernetic hand which could be fitted with a variety of implements. He was badly injured when the Nanda's Luck was attacked by Pyash Yopayomba, the Pirate Queen of Ando, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Only the efforts of Sissalik helped Bippi survive the initial attack. Yopayomba confronted them both, and admitted that she thought Sissalik's bravery and defiance was admirable. She agreed to repair the Nanda's Luck and supply men to replace those that were lost in the fighting, in exchange for one thing. Bippi surrendered to her, hoping that he could salvage the situation. However, Yopayomba took her own initiative and cut off Bippi's head. She growled that none of her people ever surrendered, no matter what the situation, then made Sissalik the Captain of the vessel as her servant.
