Background
Jax “Vel” Veyra was once a rising star on Zeltros and Ryloth, performing in lounges and syndicate halls with velvet vocals and radiant charisma. His shows always left an impression — sometimes too much.
One night, Jax pushed the wrong joke too far, mocking a Black Sun Vigo in front of a packed cantina. The audience roared with laughter, but the Vigo never forgot. A Hutt patron quietly paid for Jax’s escape, leaving him in serious debt. Later, a Rebel contact (linked to Pandalee) smuggled him further off-world, leaving Jax owing a favor as well.
Now, Jax travels with his mismatched crew:
• BX-S3 (“Boxie”) the curious slicer droid,
• A cold and disciplined Devaronian spy,
• Pandalee Voss, a Duros pilot with a mysterious Rebel past.
To Jax, every mission is a stage, every job a performance, and every negotiation a curtain call. He thrives on the spotlight, covers his debts with charm, and believes that one day his name will be known across the Outer Rim — for the right reasons, or at least the loud ones.
