"Uncle" Vanya was a Twi'lek crime boss from the Corporate Sector. It was Vanya who gave the Outrider, a Corellian YT-2400, to a pilot in his employ named Dash Rendar. Through some creative accounting by Rendar's droid Leebo, Vanya inadvertently paid to upgrade the Outrider to become a smuggling ship. After Rendar saved his life during an Espo raid, Vanya gave up his grudge against him.
[edit] Behind the scenes
Uncle Vanya is the name of a famous Russian play by Anton Chekhov. The name "Vanya" itself is the diminutive of "Ivan," which itself is the Russian equivalent of the Italian "Giovanni," German "Johannes," or the English "John."
