Hylo Visz was a female Mirialan who lived during the Great Galactic War between the Galactic Republic and the resurgent Sith Empire. She was born on the Colonies world of Balmorra, but later became a refugee when the Empire raided the planet. Her father was killed during the attack, and she and her mother were forced to flee the world alongside hundreds of other Balmorrans. Her mother died of illness while their transport made a stop on the Hutt-controlled moon of Nar Shaddaa, and Visz was left to fend for herself as an orphan. In her youth, she joined a band of similarly orphaned children, and together they stole and scavenged in order to survive. She was eventually employed by the Hutt Cartel to work in the shipyards in Nar Shaddaa's Undercity, but she soon found that her true calling was piloting.

After years of freelancing, Visz was hired on by the Hutt Cartel as a smuggler. In her beloved ship, the Crimson Fleece, the Mirialan made a name for herself as a proficient and talented smuggler. During a delivery to the Rendili Vehicle Corporation on Corellia for Barrga the Hutt, Visz lost the Fleece when Barrga was double-crossed by the Rendili Corporation. Visz survived the incident and was able to escape Corellia aboard an experimental Vanguard starship she stole from the Rendili facility. The Mirialan decided that she no longer needed to work for the Cartel, and so abandoned her home on Nar Shaddaa and took to the stars for new adventures, eventually becoming the leader of an independent smuggling ring.

In the last decade of the war, Visz gained galactic renown as the smuggler famed for leading the attack that broke the Mandalorian blockade of the Hydian Way. The oppressive blockade had been crippling the Republic's economy and ability to wage war, and the Mirialan saw the crisis as an opportunity for incredible profit. Visz and her band of smugglers organized a fleet that engaged and scattered the Mandalorian vessels, clearing a path for their freighters to deliver much-needed goods to the Core Worlds. With the aid of the Republic Navy her plan was a success, and following the battle she was rewarded for her efforts and recognized as a hero within the Republic. Visz's victory allowed the Republic to survive and continue its war against the Sith; however, it also led the Empire to adopt more desperate and aggressive tactics, such as the Sacking of Coruscant. As such, her success would play a major role in the Treaty of Coruscant, which concluded the war. It was later rumored that she was killed after she attempted to double-cross the Hutt Cartel.

BiographyEdit

Early lifeEdit

Hylo Visz was a Mirialan female born on the factory world of Balmorra^[1] in the Colonies region^[3] shortly before the start of the Great Galactic War.^[1] She lived on the planet with her mother and father, the latter of which was employed as a droid designer in one of Balmorra's many development labs.^[1] The war began in 3,681 BBY^[4] and gradually swept across the galaxy, engulfing world after world as the revitalized Sith Empire advanced towards the Core Worlds of the Galactic Republic.^[5] Due to its reputation for prolific weapon and droid manufacturing, Balmorra was one of the Sith's many targets. Although the Republic made a commitment to defending the people of Balmorra, the Empire's assault on the world was relentless.^[6] Visz's father was killed in the initial raid on the world, and hundreds of other Balmorrans were forced from their homes. Hylo and her mother were among the refugees that fled the planet aboard transport ships bound for more peaceful regions of the galaxy.^[1]

Despite escaping the carnage of the war on her homeworld, Visz's hardships were far from over. While the refugee transport made a short stop on Nal Hutta's city-moon of Nar Shaddaa, her mother was afflicted with a severe illness that she eventually succumbed to. The refugee transport departed Nar Shaddaa without Visz, leaving her behind as an orphan on the dangerous, crime-infested moon. The young Mirialan survived however, and joined with a gang of similarly orphaned alien younglings who operated out of Nar Shaddaa's Undercity alleys. The orphans stole and scavenged for a living until the gang was eventually disbanded. Many of the children Visz had once run with were either killed or went to work for the Hutts as hired muscle, but Hylo escaped both fates through her talent as a mechanic.^[1]

For years she worked as a mechanic in the cargo docks and shipyards owned by the Hutt Cartel in the Undercity. Although she spent much of her teenage life repairing machines, Visz found her passion when she first piloted a starship. She resolved to make a career out of it, and saved every credit she earned in order to purchase her own vessel. She eventually reached her goal and used her money to buy the freighter Crimson Fleece, an old wreck of a ship that, while difficult to maintain, became Visz's prize possession. Thereafter the Mirialan began hiring herself out as a captain, hoping to attain the notoriety necessary to be hired by the Hutt Cartel as a smuggler. During this time, Visz accepted a contract from the Sith Empire, but quickly learned that the Sith cared very little for the well-being of freelancers. Although she survived the operation, Visz vowed never to work for the Empire again.^[1]

Working for the HuttsEdit

As Hylo Visz continued in her career, she became increasingly notable for her repeated successes and obvious talent as a smuggler. She owed much of her abilities to her belief in what she called the "Invisible Law of the Universe"—her theory that major issues were always foreshadowed by minor problems. The theory was derived from her experiences in smuggling, as well as the deaths of her mother and father. The day prior to his death, her father's landspeeder had broken down, and just before she contracted her severe illness, her mother had stained her favorite robes. Visz believed the events were all connected, and that if no minor problems arose, she had no reason to fear that a major one would. The "Invisible Law" granted her a confidence that, when combined with her connections among Cartel-employed mechanics, eventually earned her the notice of the Hutts.^[1]

As an employee of the Hutt Crime Cartel, Visz ran black market goods, contraband, and people across the galaxy. Over the years that she worked for the Cartel, she continued to foster her reputation for success, and was trusted by a majority of the Hutt crime lords. Although the Hutts were her primary employers, Visz began accepting corporate and government contracts at some point during the Great War. It was not uncommon for the Republic to offer contracts to smugglers, but the Empire had pressured most legitimate pilots into refusing to run goods for the Republic. Visz however, embraced the danger presented by running supplies for the Republic Military, as she was sympathetic toward its efforts. She preferred to work on government contracts rather than those from the Cartel, and she eventually resolved to leave the employ of the Hutts and work exclusively for either the Republic or corporate interests.^[1]

The debacle on CorelliaEdit

While she was planning to leave the Cartel behind, she was contacted by Barrga the Hutt, who needed her to run a shipment of experimental ion drives to Corellia. Visz was told that the drives were to be delivered to a Republic contact for usage in military wares, and that she would be accompanied on the run by two of Barrga's enforcers—the Nikto known as Musk and a Weequay who's name she didn't bother to learn. Visz understood that, although the two were ostensibly assigned to escort her, their true purpose was to ensure that she didn't try to double-cross Barrga, which was standard for high-stakes jobs. She and the two enforcers departed Nar Shaddaa aboard the Crimson Fleece, with the Mirialan hoping the run would be the last job she would do for the Cartel. En route to Corella, she examined the drives to ensure they were legitimate—she wanted no part in the operation if Barrga was attempting to cheat the Republic. Visz concluded that the drives were real, and returned to the cockpit to sit with Musk. Much to Visz's chagrin, the Nikto spent the trip complaining about Barrga's business acumen and the inner politics of the Cartel while the Weequay sat quietly in the rear of the ship.^[1]

They eventually reached the Corellian system, and while heading towards the planet itself, Visz became particularly annoyed with Musk, especially after he erroneously claimed to have participated in the Star Cluster Casino job, which had been the most notorious heist in recent years. She decided not to bother arguing with Musk however, and instead focused on landing on Corellia. After transmitting her identification and clearance codes to an orbital security station above the planet, Visz reprimanded Musk for attempting to power down the hyperdrive generator. Because her experience in the field had taught Visz to never leave her hyperdrive unprepared for a swift escape, she always ensured that the generator was on standby during operations. Her seemingly strange demands drove Musk out of the cockpit, but the Nikto returned after an extended wait in Corellian orbit. He demanded that Visz ignore the laws and protocols of the Corellian Security Force and land on the world without proper clearance. The smuggler attempted to argue that, unlike Nar Shaddaa, Corellia had rules and regulations, but no longer needed to when the orbital security station granted the Crimson Fleece permission to land at the Rendili Vehicle Corporation's corporate facility on the planet's surface.^[1]

Although she was surprised by the fact that she was delivering to a corporate facility instead of a Republic Military spaceport, Visz accepted the clearance and took the Crimson Fleece in for a landing. Upon arriving at the immaculate facility, she touched down on Rendili's landing pad A-17. After a quick check of the Fleece's systems, the smuggler disembarked her ship and emerged onto the landing pad, where she was met by a protocol droid. The droid informed her that she was not cleared to land on A-17 and that she would need to move her ship, but agreed to verify her clearance after Musk emerged from the Fleece wielding a blaster rifle. The droid took an extended period to verify the clearance, during which time the Nikto returned to the ship. Visz remained on the landing pad to enjoy the fresh Corellian air, but was startled when she noticed the ominous silence which meant the hyperdrive generator had been deactivated. Rushing back into the Fleece, Visz accused Musk of directly contradicting her commands and deactivating the hyperdrive, but realized that the Nikto was not to blame after seeing the expression of confusion on his face.^[1]

She hurried back into the cockpit where she found that the hyperdrive indicator had gone dead. Although Musk suggested it likely just needed recharging, Visz recognized its failure as something much more ominous—a sign of impending danger according to the Invisible Law. The Mirialan pieced this event together with the strange greeting from the protocol droid and the surprising order to land at the corporate facility and concluded that the operation was a trap. As she attempted to get the Crimson Fleece airborne and off Corellia, Musk, who was still operating under Barrga's directive to deliver the ion drives and didn't share Misz's intuitive abilities, demanded that she keep the ship on the ground and continue with the job. The Nikto placed the barrel of his rifle directly against the back of Visz's neck, forcing the smuggler halt the launch sequence. Visz knew she still had to escape Corellia, and so tricked Musk by appearing to cry. As he attempted to comfort her, Hylo redirected the barrel of his rifle before kicking him directly in the groin. Musk fell to the floor, giving Visz the opportunity to draw her blaster pistol from her holster and hold it to Musk's forehead.^[1]

Visz quickly disarmed the Nikto and began to pull him out of the cockpit, but was stopped when his Weequay partner surprised her. He smashed the butt of his rifle into the Mirialan's face, rendering her unconscious. She awoke a short time later to hear the Weequay and Musk discussing her abrupt betrayal of Barrga's orders. To avoid notice she acted as if she were still unconscious, but listened as Musk suggested that they kill her. The Weequay disagreed and insisted that they finish the job and take her back to Barrga, who would kill her himself if he truly wished her dead. They resolved to keep her inert body in the second cargo bay of the Crimson Fleece while the two of them continued the operation. Luckily for Visz, her profession as a smuggler had driven her to install escape hatches in the cargo bays of the Fleece in case of an emergency. Once Musk and the Weequay had left her alone in the hold, the Mirialan sneaked through one such hatch and emerged outside the ship on pad A-17. She quickly took cover behind a pile of empty cargo containers and attempted to formulate a plan to retake her ship. While she hid, a Rendili businessman emerged from the facility, accompanied by the protocol droid she had met with earlier, an armed guard, and two utility droids carrying cases filled with credits. The Rendili party was met by Musk and the Weequay, who accepted the credits and provided the business representatives with the ion drives. Visz could barely hear their conversation, but was able to make out that mercenaries were making arragnements to have the Fleece's hyperdrive repaired in Coronet City.^[1]

As Visz ran through different scenarios to board the Crimson Fleece once more and reclaim her ship, the Musk and the Weequay concluded the transaction and lifted off from the Rendili Corporate facility, leaving the smuggler stranded on the landing pad. However, shortly after the Fleece began to speed away, the ship exploded. Visz discerned that she was correct and that the whole operation had been a trap, with the Rendili representatives having wired the cases of credits with explosives. Despite a degree of heartbreak at the loss of her ship, Visz realized that she had been correct about the signs of impending danger and survived as a result. Believing she was now safe to operate in confidence until more signs arose, the Mirialan took time to rest and relax on the landing pad. She stayed there until nightfall, when she decided it was time to make her way into the facility. Once inside, Visz explored various hallways until she emerged onto a catwalk above a construction garage. She made her way to the garage floor, where she donned a pair of overalls and a welding helmet to disguise herself. Before continuing through the facility, Visz stopped to check a holo-terminal for information on the facility's layout. She instead found only the layout for the building she was in, Building A, but also discovered information on something called the "Vanguard project." Visz researched the term and found that the Vanguard was an experimental starship created by the Rendili Corporation for the Jedi Order. The first of these vessels was apparently slated for a test flight on landing pad A-23 atop the facility.^[1]

Visz decided that stealing the Vanguard was her best option for escaping the facility, and so made her way into an elevator that would transport her to A-23. Upon arriving on the uppermost level of the Rendili building, she found that she was actually in A-23's observation room, where she was confronted by a slender businesswoman who demanded to know why a low-level mechanic was in an area reserved for clients and executives. Visz lied, claiming that she had been sent to A-23 to check on the Vanguard's alluvial dampers. The woman allowed her to pass, and the Mirialan made her way onto the landing pad. Upon seeing the Vanguard, Visz was awe-struck, as she had never seen a vessel so advanced. She boarded the ship and entered the cockpit to begin launch procedures, but stopped in horror when she snagged the leg of her overalls against some instrumentation while hopping into the pilot's seat. The snag tore through her suit, which Visz took as yet another negative omen. Despite her common intuitive reaction to such instances, she decided that she had come too far to turn back now, and that she had to continue with her plan to steal the ship.^[1]

She began the Vanguard's startup sequence, relieved to see that it was a basically standard starship control configuration. There was, however, one vital component missing—the ignition for the sublight engines. As she began a frantic search for the ignition, Visz heard footsteps ascending the boarding ramp. To avoid detection, she hid behind a chair in the rear of the cockpit as a man swept into the ship and sat himself behind the pilot's station. While he began the startup procedure, Visz glanced around her chair and was able to discern from his clothes and hair that he was neither a professional pilot nor a military man. She slid out and grabbed the welding mask she had used as a disguise in a plan to use it as an ad hoc weapon. Before she struck, however, she realized that the man in the pilot's seat was in fact a Jedi. Visz attempted to weigh her options and analyze the situation, but her probing was cut short when the Jedi noticed her and spun around. Acting on reflex, Visz slammed the mask into the man's face. Although she planned to hit him repeatedly, she noticed that the first blow was sufficient enough in force to knock him unconscious. She removed his limp body from the pilot's chair and prepared to kill him, but reconsidered after seeing that his wounds matched her own that she sustained from the Weequay.^[1]

Visz instead lowered the Vanguard's boarding ramp and dragged the Jedi out of the ship. Before once again boarding the vessel, she blessed the unconscious man with a kiss on the forehead for good luck. She then re-entered the Vanguard and lifted off in the swift and nimble ship. She escaped the Rendili facility and fled into Corellian orbit, from which she jumped into hyperspace, bound for Nal Hutta and Nar Shaddaa. Upon arriving in Hutt Space, Visz realized that everyone would believe that she perished with the Crimson Fleece, and that if she were to return to Barrga, she would have no way to explain the events that had transpired on Corellia. She resolved to forge her own path as captain of the Vanguard, and began by leaving Nar Shaddaa behind. She decided to go to Ord Mantell instead to visit an old friend.^[1]

Smuggling adventuresEdit

Breaking the blockadeEdit

Visz continued to live as a smuggler throughout the Great War. She eventually rose to prominence in the smuggling community and became the leader of an independent smuggling ring.^[2] About two decades into the war, the Empire sponsored the rise of a new Mandalore to lead the legendary Mandalorian warriors. This new Mandalore forged an alliance between the Sith Empire and his warrior clans against the Galactic Republic.^[7] The alliance led to the Mandalorian's staging of a blockade of the Hydian Way, a major hyperspace lane. The Hydian had once connected the Core Worlds with the Colonies region and distant Outer Rim Territories, however the blockade prevented the flow of goods and military wares, greatly hindering the Republic war effort. The galactic economy was also severely burdened by the conflict, as raw materials from the outer reaches of the galaxy were prevented from reaching worlds closer to the Core.^[2]

In 3,661 BBY, the Galactic Senate successfully lobbied for the Jedi Order to intervene in the blockade. The Jedi were soundly defeated during their assault on the Mandalorians, and the Republic continued to suffer under the crippling offensive.^[8] As under provided and under protected Republic worlds on the Outer Rim began to fall to the Sith, starvation ravaged the lower levels of the Republic's capital world of Coruscant. By 3,660 BBY, prices for raw goods had risen dramatically, and the Republic was willing to pay in order to survive. Visz saw the crisis as an opportunity for profit for herself and her smuggling companions, and so devised a plan to break the blockade and deliver much needed goods to the Core.^[2]

Visz and her fellow smugglers loaded large freighters with raw materials from across the Outer Rim and directed them towards the Mandalorian blockade. When the freighters were less than a parsec away from the Mandalorian forces, they halted. Because the Mandalorians were distracted by the freighters, they did not expect the surprise attack orchestrated by Visz. She and many other smugglers in small vessels and starfighters emerged from hyperspace and engaged the Mandalorian cruisers in a large space battle. Although the smuggling ships had the element of surprise and the advantage of speed, Visz's small militia was still outmatched. Fortunately for Visz, Republic Strategic Information Systems received information of the battle and dispatched starfighters from nearby star systems to aid the Mirialan and her band. With the addition of the Republic reinforcements to the battle, the Mandalorians were soon defeated.^[2]

Hero of the RepublicEdit

Following the battle, Visz brought freighters filled with raw materials to Coruscant, where she was greeted as a hero by cheering crowds. The Mirialan was generously paid for her goods and left Coruscant as an incredibly wealthy woman. Although a medal ceremony was organized in her honor, Visz, who had accomplished her objective, neglected to attend. It was later rumored that Visz was killed the following year, after attempting to double-cross the Hutts.^[2]

Her actions were remembered heroically by the Republic, as she granted the war effort against the Sith Empire a much needed reprieve. As a result of the breaking of the blockade, the Republic was able to continue its fight for seven more years, at which point the Sacking of Coruscant forced an uneasy peace. The sacking and subsequent Treaty of Coruscant were later partially attributed to Visz's success, as the Empire's failed plan to freeze the Hydian Way led them to adopt more risky and desperate strategies. During the Cold War that followed the Treaty of Coruscant, the Mandalorian's blockade of the Hydian Way and Hylo Visz's success against it was recounted by Kel Dor Jedi Master Gnost-Dural in the Jedi Archives on Tython.^[2] However, despite the vast wealth Visz gained she continued smuggling goods. It was rumored she was killed one year later double crossing one of the Hutt cartels.^[2]

Personality and traitsEdit

Hylo Visz was an opportunist, taking an occupation which relied heavily on the current state of galactic affairs. She began this lifestyle as a street urchin in the alleys and sewers of Nar Shaddaa. Alongside a gang of orphans, the young Mirialan committed minor crimes in order to survive on the harsh moon. As she grew older, she hoped to maintain a more stable income, and so became a mechanic for the Hutt Cartel. Despite her talent in the repair and enhancement of machinery, Visz's true passion was in piloting. She dedicated herself to the goal of purchasing a ship and becoming a smuggler for the Cartel, and saw her dream realized after several years of committed labor. While on Corellia, Visz's opportunism gained her ownership of a new and advanced starship, the Vanguard.^[1] After leaving the employ of the Cartel, her ability to seize golden opportunities shined once more during the blockade of the Hydian Way, by taking what was seen a crisis by most as a chance for her own personal gain. Although the Mirialan fought for the Republic, she was primarily interested in the wealth that would be granted to her when she arrived on Coruscant with the much needed goods she carried.^[2]

During this time, Visz was leader of a band of smugglers. The group was directed by Visz to create a diversion for the Mandalorian armada, as well as take part in the main assault on the Mandalorian vessels. She viewed the crisis on the Hydian as a business opportunity not only for herself, but her comrades as well. Aside from the monetary reward for her success on the Hydian Way, Visz apparently was unconcerned with other forms of compensation. Even after being hailed as a hero by the starving people of Coruscant, she decided not to attend a medal ceremony held to honor her victory and her contribution to the Republic war effort. She instead collected her earnings and ventured far from the galactic capital, apparently retreating from her fame.^[2]

The Mirialan attributed much of her success as a smuggler to her ability to identify and read what she believed to be omens. Highly superstitious, she based many of her choices and actions on these omens—a habit rooted in her youth and the deaths of her parents. She firmly believed that all major disasters could be avoided by recognizing smaller issues that occurred beforehand, and dubbed this belief the "Invisible Law of the Universe." When she didn't see any minor problems, Visz acted with confidence and was widely triumphant. She also placed heavy consideration on the value of luck, and refused to kill the Jedi in the Rendili facility for fear of receiving years worth of bad fortune in return. Her refusal to deactivate her hyperdrive while planetside was also the result of her reliance on luck, as was her choice to always carry a blaster by her side.^[1]

Visz sympathized with the Galactic Republic during the Great War, and held a sincere respect for members of the Jedi Order. After an unpleasant contract with the Empire, the smuggler vowed never to work for the Sith again, and actively operated against Imperial interests during her assault against the blockade. Prior to leaving Hutt employ, she had already begun to accept Republic contracts,^[1] but operated independently of the government during the Hydian incident.^[2]

On her forehead and cheeks, Hylo Visz was adorned with traditional Mirialan tattoos in triangular shapes. At some point, she had dyed her short, black hair so that it would have red highlights, which was fashionable on Nar Shaddaa.^[1]

Hylo's shipsEdit

The Crimson FleeceEdit

Main article: Crimson Fleece

The Crimson Fleece was an aged freighter purchased by Visz during her teenage years. The Mirialan flew the ship for years and performed countless enhancements and renovations on the vessel. Because of its age, Visz was unable to buy any of the Fleece's original parts for repairs, and so cobbled together pieces from other vessels to serve in their place. As she was often alone, the smuggler came to see her ship as less of a vehicle and more of a friend, who was always by her side. She was so intimately familiar with its workings that she could identify any potential problems by simply listening to its systems run for a period of time. Although she knew she would eventually have to replace the vessel, Visz refused to do so until necessity dictated otherwise.^[1]

She eventually performed so many upgrades to the Fleece that the ship would be valued at three times the amount she had originally purchased it for. She understood, however, that she would never be able to sell it for that much, and so kept the ship during her journey to Corellia. Over her years as a smuggler, Visz had added personal, after-market features to the ship that aided her in her professional pursuits. One such feature was the addition of escape hatches in the ship's cargo bays. The smuggler used one of these hatches to escape the Crimson Fleece moments before it was destroyed in the skies over Corellia. The destruction of the ship caused Visz great distress, as she had invested incredible amounts of time and money into the Fleece and saw it as her ticket to freedom.^[1]

VanguardEdit

Main article: Defender-class light corvette

The Vanguard piloted by Hylo Visz was the first of its class. The ship was developed by the Rendili Vehicle Corporation in compliance with a contract for the Jedi Order. The ship was intended to be piloted by Jedi in the Great Galactic War, but was instead stolen by Visz during her escape from the Rendili facility.^[1]

The ship was incredibly advanced for its time, and included all the features and enhancements of modern vessels. The Vanguard's exterior was sleek and adorned with a silver and red hull that sloped towards two rear thrusters which propelled the ship. The cockpit was in a hammerhead orientation, similar to the bridge design of Republic Thranta-class warships, but was situated horizontally instead of vertically. The interior lounge was filled with state-of-the-art accessories and amenities, including a holocommunications terminal and red swivel seats. The cockpit was outfitted with a traditional starship piloting set-up, save for two features—backlit controls to allow for low lighting in the cockpit, and a thruster ignition knob which was located under the dashboard instead of its usual placement in front of the pilot. The cockpit had a pilot and copilot station, as well as two seats in the rear corners to allow for more passengers.^[1]

Behind the scenesEdit

Hylo Visz was created for the LucasArts massively multiplayer online game, Star Wars: The Old Republic. The Old Republic is a follow-up to the highly successful Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series.^[9] The character was elaborated upon in the second installment of the Galactic Timeline, an in-universe account of the events surrounding the Great Galactic War available on the Star Wars: The Old Republic website. The timeline is narrated by Jedi Master Gnost-Dural, whose voice is provided by actor Lance Henriksen.^[10]

Visz's character was greatly expanded upon by Robert Chestney in his short story The Old Republic: Smuggler's Vanguard, which was published exclusively on StarWars.com on March 25, 2010. Chestney later stated on the Star Wars: The Old Republic community forums that Hylo Visz would be featured in the game, but in limited role only. He also stated that he was interested in authoring more stories about the Mirialan smuggler.^[11]
