Kay Vess is a scoundrel and emerging outlaw from the Canto Bight Worker's District. Kay started out pulling small cons with her merqaal companion, Nix. As the jobs expanded, so did her skills. But after a con goes wrong, she finds herself with a bounty on her head and one last shot at true freedom — pulling off one of the greatest heists the galaxy has ever seen.

ND-5 now operates as Vrax’s personal enforcer and has been assigned to join Kay Vess’ crew for a very important heist.
