Legend

this female Quara Aqualish was known as the Pirate Queen of Ando during the height of the New Order, a title she earned by raiding all manner of ocean-going vessels during her career. Dressed from head to toe in black clothing and armor, Pyash was a formidable figure even before she entered a fight. When the battle started to turn against her pirates, Pyash joined the fighting with her long vibroblade, cutting down her victims with great skill and little remorse. Her pirate vessel was also painted black, and was a modernized version of a traditional sailing vessel. In place of actual sails, the ship had specialized repulsor fins, giving the pirate vessel incredible speed and maneuverability in the water. Among the vessels she captured and refitted for her own use was the Nanda's Luck, which she took after beheading its former Captain, Bipopa Bogzider. She then removed the mineral-fish shells from her hold and filled the vessel with explosives. Her plan was to have Sissalik sail the Nanda's Luck into the Quantill City harbor and detonate it, hoping to pin the explosion and the resulting death and destruction on a group of Aquala radicals. She had been led to believe that the Imperial governor of Ando would pay her handsomely for starting a civil war between the Aquala and the Quara, a war which the Empire could use to fully subjugate the Aqualish. Her plans failed, though, when Sissalik reprogrammed the autopilot on the Nanda's Luck, ramming the ship into Pyash's own flagship, the Majestic. All hands on board, including Pyash herself, were killed in the explosion.
