Background
Zetnu’ri, or Zet Nuri to her companions, is a smuggler, a thief, and an all-around criminal. Born on Nar Shaddaa to a pair of former slaves (Jirgu’ri and Yune’tala), she was raised in extreme poverty. Though her parents may have preferred to find honest work, there is little enough of that on the Smuggler’s Moon. From the time she was a child Zet had to work to help to feed her family, and while her mother protected her from some of the more salacious work her race is known for, she frequently acted as a messenger, a delivery girl, or a lookout for various seedy figures.
When she came of age, she set out to do better than her parents had done and began to take odd jobs for various larger syndicates, such as the Hutts and the Black Suns. Zet’s work often took her off planet, and as such she gained experience in the quotidian operations of a starship. On one such fateful mission, she was helping to smuggle some cargo with a small crew, hired by the Black Suns. The ship was already halfway to its destination when Zet discovered their cargo was living: they were carrying slaves. Though she was comfortable with all manner of crime, including flat-out murder, Zet found she couldn’t see this one through. She deliberately sabotaged the mission by tipping off local authorities at their destination, but she wasn’t clever enough to avoid being found out. Unfortunately for Zet, that wasn’t the end of her relationship with the Black Suns: they put a hefty bounty on her head. She was lucky to find safe passage back to Hutt-controlled Nar Shaddaa.
Desperate to stay mobile and eager to strike out on her own — to be in a position where she wouldn’t need to take a job like that ever again: That was her mood when Zet ran into Santos, a Chiss smuggler whose Trandoshan partner Nossk had recently left him stranded on her homeworld. They struck up a quick and easy friendship, and Zet made the appropriate introductions to some Hutt contacts in exchange for their new partnership. Together, they purchased The Rainbow Dash, although it was swiftly impounded by the Hutt Cartel during repairs. Zet’s parents' lives have only somewhat improved with what few credits Zet has been able to send them — fewer while the bounty on her head drove her to distance herself from them for their own sakes.
Since then, Santos and Zet have made new allies: Callia, a Jedi exile; Qurzer, a Selonian trying to liberate their race from Empire rule; and GARBOL, an ancient droid obsessed with repairing old technology.
After a series of adventures, the pair managed to repay their debts to Teemo the Hutt and recover their ship. Immediately after that happy reunion, Zet was captured by a bounty hunter named Shard who delivered her to the Black Suns. Nyssa, a Black Sun vigo, removed her left eye as payment. Zet's friends arrived to rescue her, and Santos used his newly discovered Force powers to hurl Nyssa to her presumed death.

Description
Between the cocksure glint in her greyish eye and the natural way her hand comes to rest at her hip, just above the holster of her blaster, Zetnu’ri looks ready for trouble. The eyepatch covering what remains of her left eye adds a certain edge. Standing at about 5’8, this green Twi’lek seems fairly typical for a female of her race. A simple headdress made of brown straps rests on her head, circling her ear cones and twisting around half the length of her striped lekku. She generally wears her long, heavy trenchcoat open down the front, providing easy access to its many interior pockets, and a utility belt weighed down with the tools of her trade hangs heavy at her waist. Beneath her jacket, she wears a thin, cropped t-shirt which bares most of her midsection and a canvas vest with a multitude of pockets. Form-fitting pants and a pair of sturdy knee-high boots complete her day-to-day ensemble.
