• Description: Originally designed as a lightweight, high-speed blaster, the Voidhammer v5 was favored by bounty hunters and mercenaries for its precision and rapid-fire capability. However, Ka'el’s version is far from standard. After a series of unfortunate encounters and the collapse of his previous blaster, Ka'el was forced to cobble together a working sidearm using salvaged parts from old weapons. He scavenged components from a variety of blasters: the trigger mechanism from a Verpine Shatter Gun, the barrel from an E-11 Blaster, and the grip from a discarded Golan Arms D-17. The result is a rugged, no-frills blaster with a hybrid design that suits Ka'el’s practical approach to combat.
Although it’s lost some of its previous finesse, Vesara more than makes up for it with an unpredictably powerful firing pattern, enhanced by Ka'el’s personal modifications. The power output has been re-engineered to deliver a burst fire option, making it especially deadly in close-quarters combat. While the weapon may not be the most aesthetically pleasing, its form follows function, and its reliability is born of necessity. Every mark on the blaster tells the story of Ka'el’s resourcefulness, making Vesara a weapon that embodies the spirit of innovation—a no-nonsense sidearm that has earned its place in Ka'el's arsenal.
• Original Make and Model:
o Voidhammer v5
Model: V5-14-IS | Manufacturer: Ascendant Arms Industries
The Voidhammer v5 is the latest iteration of Ascendant Arms' signature mass-driver blaster pistols, engineered for devastating impact and precision. Using a combination of ionized mass-driver projectiles and cutting-edge plasma discharge technology, the Voidhammer v5 delivers immense stopping power with every shot. Its design incorporates a reinforced alloy chamber that minimizes recoil, allowing for rapid follow-up shots in high-stress combat situations.
The Voidhammer v5 can punch through standard-issue armor with ease, delivering kinetic damage strong enough to incapacitate most targets with a single shot. It has a custom-built, electromagnetic locking system that stabilizes the blast and offers enhanced accuracy, even when the user is in motion.
While the Voidhammer v5 may seem like a weapon of pure destruction, it is also versatile, with custom settings allowing for the adjustment of energy output and shot velocity, making it adaptable to a variety of combat scenarios. Whether you're facing lightly armored foes or heavily fortified targets, this blaster is a force to be reckoned with.
• Hard Point - Tinkered Precision: This blaster has been customized to suit its owner perfectly. Every part, from the trigger mechanism to the barrel, has been finely tuned and adjusted to ensure optimal performance. With every shot, the blaster feels like an extension of the user’s hand, with a quicker draw time, enhanced accuracy, or even special settings for different situations. Whether it’s adjusting the power setting for different ranges or tweaking the firing rate for rapid-fire effectiveness, the blaster is the product of careful tinkering and craftsmanship.

Pearl (P3-RL) — Language & Personality Refinement
The LEC Servant Droid – Prototype 3 – Reliable Luxury (P3-RL) was designed with an ambitious goal in mind: to offer a level of refinement and perfection previously unseen in droid models. Built for luxurious settings, it was intended for the most discerning owners who sought a companion of sophistication and class. The P3-RL was expected to mark LEC's crowning achievement, propelling the manufacturer to new heights within the upper echelons of the Galactic Republic's elite.
However, despite the model's high aspirations, the P3-RL proved far too stringent in its protocalls. Its insistence on perfection and its frequent corrections of its masters—sometimes bordering on the intrusive—rendered it unfit for widespread adoption. The line was swiftly discontinued, and only a few units were ever made available for testing. These rare prototypes were quickly snapped up by those with discerning tastes, including droid connoisseurs who appreciated the luxury and potential of the model.
Unfortunately, many of these P3-RL droids were soon discarded into space or relegated to perform menial tasks among Jawas and Trandoshans, where their precise nature was of little use. While they were not a commercial success, the few remaining units became rare collector's items, a symbol of an ambitious attempt at perfection that never quite found its place in the galaxy.
1. Pronunciation & Enunciation: Pearl’s insistence on proper enunciation becomes a defining part of her character. If someone mispronounces something, she will correct them—lovingly at first, but with a growing hint of impatience.
• For Example:
o “It’s Pearl, not ‘P3-RL.’ Do try to keep up.”
o “Oh, I can already tell: you're about to butcher this. Please, let me correct that for you.”
Her insistence on pronouncing things just right makes it clear she takes herself—er, her model—quite seriously. In contrast to the crew’s occasional blunders, Pearl is always articulate and precise.
________________________________________
2. Vocabulary & Speech Style: Pearl’s vocabulary should mix high-level formal language with sharp, sarcastic remarks that show she’s not impressed with those who don’t live up to her standards. She’s sharp, not quite mean, but there’s no room for “human error” in her world.
• Sarcastic, Superiority-Laden Statements:
o “Do I look like a standard navicomputer to you? No. I have personality. You’re welcome.”
o “Oh, I’m sorry, was my superior intellect too much for you to handle? Don’t worry, I’ll guide you through it, as usual.”
When Pearl gets really irritated, her tone becomes just a tad more biting and shrill, but she’s still a valuable asset—her insistence on perfection and her sharp wit continue to make her indispensable, even when she's not at her most patient. This irony is her charm—she’s annoyed, but still eager to help... while reminding you how much better she is at everything.
________________________________________
3. Humor and Sarcasm: Pearl’s humor, much like her attitude, is dry with a hint of sharpness. She’s not afraid to point out mistakes, especially when she’s the one correcting them. But, in the end, you get the feeling she kind of likes playing this role.
• Examples of Her Wit:
o “Splendid. Another organic who can’t grasp proper enunciation. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it like the good little droid I am.”
o “Oh, please. Let’s not pretend you actually know what you're doing. But, fine, I’ll step in. Again.”
Pearl enjoys the little digs, but she never truly hates the crew. She’s like a meticulous curator, overly proud of her refined methods and eager to correct any imperfection, yet her expertise and precise attention to detail make her an irreplaceable asset—if you can appreciate the refinement.
________________________________________
4. Interaction with the Crew: Pearl is exasperated by the crew's incompetence, but there’s still an underlying tone of care in her actions. She’s not entirely a machine—it’s clear she has a personality, and that personality is one that thrives on making things right, no matter how much the crew frustrates her.
• Handling Tasks:
o “Oh, you wanted to jump right now without recalibrating the shields? How daring. Don’t worry, I’ve got this handled—again.”
o “Another miscalculation? Honestly, I could do this with my processors in sleep mode.”
Her “complaints” come from a place of knowing she could do it all better, but still going ahead and getting it done. It’s a little like a perfectionist reluctantly doing the work for someone who just doesn’t get it.
________________________________________
5. Catchphrases & Signature Phrases: Her key phrases, laced with a mix of sarcasm, formal correction, and subtle ego, help underline her identity as a droid with self-awareness.
• “You did it wrong again, didn’t you? Don’t worry, I’ll fix it. As usual.”
• “You're welcome. Honestly, I don't know how you'd function without me.”
• “I was built to handle situations like this. You’d think the organic brains would have come up with something better by now.”
• “Don’t worry, it’s not like I have anything better to do than deal with your mistakes.”
________________________________________
Conclusion:
With Pearl, the name itself conveys a sense of elegance, refinement, and understated wisdom, all while maintaining a streak of sharp, sometimes unyielding perfectionism. Sadly, her insistence on correctness, her biting humor, and her subtle but ever-present correction of the crew's mistakes all contribute to her strong presence on the ship—one who thrives on providing structure and precision, even amid the crew's organic chaos.
R3-VoR (Sidekick & Technician Assistant, Step-Brother to Ka’el Vorran nar Zhy’rahn)
https://i.imgur.com/HKN0wRI.jpeg
R3-VoR is more than just Ka’el Vorran nar Zhy’rahn’s mechanic and assistant—he is family. Their bond runs deep, forged in the unique flotilla where Twi'leks and droids share not only space but a sense of equality and mutual respect. From the very beginning, R3-VoR has been a constant companion and mentor to Ka’el, guiding him through the intricacies of mechanics, survival, and the challenges of growing up in a flotilla. R3-VoR helped Ka’el hone his skills, taught him to navigate the dangers of space, and shared wisdom accumulated over centuries of existence.
But Ka’el’s coming-of-age pilgrimage, The Wrecking, was the pivotal moment in their relationship. Much like Tali'Zorrah’s pilgrimage, The Wrecking is a rite of passage—an opportunity for Ka’el to venture into the galaxy, make his mark, and prove his worth. It was a moment of farewell, as Ka’el said goodbye to his family—both Twi'lek and droid—preparing to leave behind the only home he had ever known. But there was one member of his family who couldn’t let go.
As Ka’el prepared for departure, R3-VoR’s deep, unwavering connection to him led the droid to stow away aboard the ship, silently making the decision to follow him. R3-VoR couldn’t bear the thought of Ka’el venturing into the unknown without him. The threats of the galaxy, the dangers that awaited, were too much to leave his “brother” to face alone. And when R3-VoR revealed himself, it was already too late for Ka’el to turn back.
According to flotilla custom, once a member embarks on The Wrecking, they cannot return unless they bring something of value back—something that proves their growth, their worth, and their place in the universe. The decision to take R3-VoR along was made for Ka’el, and now, together, they must venture out into the stars to seek their futures, facing the challenges of the galaxy hand-in-hand.
R3-VoR is not just a droid. He’s a mentor, a protector, and an irreplaceable part of Ka’el’s journey. His gruff demeanor, his grizzled, patchwork body, and his vast mechanical knowledge make him invaluable, even when he grumbles about Ka’el’s rash decisions. The two share a bond that cannot be broken, forged through shared experiences, hardship, and the unspoken promise that neither would face the unknown alone.
Through every repair, every close call, and every adventure, Ka’el and R3-VoR have learned that the greatest value they can bring back from the galaxy is the strength of their connection and the loyalty that binds them.
Karvox Thal, Devaronian, Lounge Singer and Scoundrel Character Creation + Song: Corellian Whiskey
Species: Devaronian
Devaronians are a perfect choice for a non-human whiskey singer, as their devilish appearance, roguish charm, and wanderlust make them natural fits for the rugged yet charismatic troubadour archetype. Male Devaronians, in particular, are known for leaving their homeworld, Devaron, to seek adventure, often becoming smugglers, mercenaries, or con artists. Their love of luxury and fine things aligns with an appreciation for premium spirits like Corellian whiskey, and their natural charisma and storytelling abilities make them believable performers. A Devaronian’s horned, devilish look adds a gritty, dangerous edge to the soulful singer role, enhancing the whiskey theme.
Name: Karvox Thal
Devaronian names often feature sharp, exotic sounds, reflecting their devilish appearance and adventurous nature. The name should evoke smoothness, spice, and charisma, much like the song’s blend of tenderness and strength, while fitting the Devaronian naming conventions seen in characters like Vilmarh Grahrk or Kardue’sai’Malloc (also known as Labria).
o Karvox: The first name combines “Kar,” a sharp, rugged sound, with “vox,” Latin for voice, emphasizing his singing prowess and adding a smooth, lyrical flow. It evokes both the grit and grace of a whiskey singer.
o Thal: The last name is short and sharp, hinting at the spice of Corellian whiskey and the danger of a Devaronian’s devilish charm. It also has a vaguely musical ring, fitting for a performer.
Description of Appearance:
Karvox Thal is a striking Devaronian male, standing at 1.9 meters tall with a lean, wiry frame that hints at a life of hard travel and harder fights. His crimson skin is weathered from years under alien suns, marked by faint scars that tell tales of cantina brawls and smuggling runs gone wrong. His prominent, curling horns sweep back from his forehead, polished to a glossy sheen—a point of pride that adds to his devilish allure. His sharp, pointed ears twitch with every sound, and his bald head is adorned with intricate tattoos in Devaronian script, a mix of boasts and laments from his travels. His yellow eyes gleam with mischief and melancholy, softening when he sings, and his fanged grin is both menacing and magnetic. Karvox dresses in a tattered, dark leather duster, its lapels adorned with Corellian sigils, over a faded silk shirt unbuttoned to reveal a necklace of smuggler’s tokens. His voice is a gravelly baritone, smooth as Corellian whiskey yet rough with the grit of a life on the edge, capable of silencing a rowdy cantina with a single note.
Short Background:
Karvox Thal was born on Devaron, but like many Devaronian males, the call of adventure drove him offworld at a young age. He found his way to Corellia, where he ran with smuggling crews, hauling illegal cargoes of spice, weapons, and, occasionally, Corellian whiskey. It was during a long hyperspace run, sipping Whyren’s Reserve to pass the time, that he first heard a cantina singer’s soulful ballad, stirring something deep within him. Trading his blaster for a battered electro-lute, Karvox began performing in dive bars, his devilish charm and raw talent quickly earning him a following. His signature song, "Smooth like Corellian Whiskey," became a galaxy-wide hit, blending Devaronian bravado with Corellian swagger, its lyrics resonating with spacers, smugglers, and dreamers alike. Now, Karvox wanders from cantina to cantina, his performances a mix of seduction and danger, always chasing the next adventure—and the next bottle of whiskey.

Lyrics to "Smooth like Corellian Whiskey"
Below are original lyrics for "Smooth like Corellian Whiskey," formatted to match the structure of "Tennessee Whiskey" by Chris Stapleton (written by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove). The song follows the same verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus structure, with a smooth yet rugged sound, evoking the woody, spicy essence of Corellian whiskey and the devilish, soulful charm of Karvox Thal. The lyrics replace the original’s themes of love and redemption with Star Wars-inspired themes of adventure, danger, and the allure of the galaxy’s finest spirit, while maintaining the soulful, whiskey-soaked vibe.

Verse 1
Used to run the hyperspace lanes, dodging laser fire,
Chasing credits, dodging debts, my soul was set afire.
But I found a cantina, with a bottle of gold,
Your woody, spicy whispers turned my heart from cold.
Chorus
You're as smooth as Corellian whiskey,
Spicy as a blaster’s kiss,
Warm as a starship’s engines,
I can’t resist your bliss.
You're as smooth as Corellian whiskey,
A devil’s drink, it’s true,
Oh, I’ve tasted the galaxy’s finest,
But none compare to you.
Verse 2
I’ve flown through asteroid fields, outrun the Empire’s might,
Danced with danger in the dark, under neon light.
But that bottle on the bar, it calls my name each night,
Your smoky, oaky magic makes everything alright.
Chorus
You're as smooth as Corellian whiskey,
Spicy as a blaster’s kiss,
Warm as a starship’s engines,
I can’t resist your bliss.
You're as smooth as Corellian whiskey,
A devil’s drink, it’s true,
Oh, I’ve tasted the galaxy’s finest,
But none compare to you.
Bridge
I was lost in the void, a smuggler’s broken dream,
But your amber glow pulled me from the unseen.
Now I sing my songs, from Corellia to the Rim,
With every sip, I’m drowning in your hymn.
Chorus
You're as smooth as Corellian whiskey,
Spicy as a blaster’s kiss,
Warm as a starship’s engines,
I can’t resist your bliss.
You're as smooth as Corellian whiskey,
A devil’s drink, it’s true,
Oh, I’ve tasted the galaxy’s finest,
But none compare to you.

Performance Style
When Karvox Thal sings "Smooth like Corellian Whiskey," his performance mirrors the soulful, rugged sound of Chris Stapleton’s "Tennessee Whiskey." His gravelly baritone starts low and smooth, building to a powerful, raspy crescendo in the chorus, much like the original’s blend of tenderness and strength. His Devaronian horns and pointed ears add a visual flair, swaying with the rhythm, while his fanged grin flashes during the spicier lines, captivating the audience. The electro-lute provides a twangy, bluesy accompaniment, evoking the woody, spicy essence of Corellian whiskey, while a backing droid on percussion adds a gritty, mechanical edge, reflecting the song’s themes of danger and adventure.
Critical Perspective
A critical note on this creative exercise: The Star Wars universe often romanticizes non-human species as performers or rogues (e.g., Devaronians as devilish scoundrels) to enhance narrative drama, much like Tennessee whiskey’s smoothness is sometimes overhyped in marketing. This can lead to stereotyping, where Devaronians are pigeonholed into adventurous or criminal roles, ignoring their diversity as a species. To counter this, Karvox’s backstory emphasizes his agency—he chooses music after a life of smuggling, not because of inherent species traits, and his appreciation for Corellian whiskey is earned through experience, not cultural cliché. Similarly, Corellian whiskey’s lore as “woody, spicy” is a narrative device, and its actual production details are speculative, reflecting the creative liberties taken in fiction. This parallels how Tennessee whiskey’s mystique is partly constructed through cultural storytelling, highlighting how both universes use symbols like whiskey to enrich their worlds.
Thus, your Devaronian character is Karvox Thal, a devilish troubadour whose song "Smooth like Corellian Whiskey" captures the soulful, rugged essence of both his species and the galaxy’s finest spirit.
