Legend

this female Chagrian earned the respect of Hugo Bartyn as a boat captain on the planet Lamaredd, many centuries before the Galactic Civil War. After toiling for nearly two decades as an underpaid laborer, she finally earned the right to pilot her own ship. However, she was not blind to the fact that Bartyn was a pro-human bigot who only kept his alien workforce on-hand because they were invaluable assets. Olyeg quietly began to foment unrest among the other non-human ship captains, and was instrumental in staging several work stoppages that attracted the attention of Bartyn. It was Olyeg who demanded a meeting with Bartyn, and he was forced to agree to her terms in order to maintain his business. Among the concessions were the ceding of Jotsen's Island to the Union and the opening of large portions of The Ring to non-human inhabitants. Because of her work, Olyeg was named the first chairbeing of the Sailor's Union. However, Bartyn never forgave her for putting him into a bargaining position, and eventually ordered her assassination.
