Kinnin Vo-Shay

Kinnin Vo-Shay was a slightly Force-sensitive gambler. Vo-Shay piloted his freighter, the Ashanda Ray into a dangerous region of space called the Tyus Cluster, where he was trapped in the island of stability, at the center of a cluster of black holes, where, as Vo-Shay put it, "Time was nonexistent." While there he met a Jedi Master named Aryzah, who taught him a little about the ways of the Force. Vo-Shay manged to escape the cluster somehow, and due to the lack of time, didn't look a day older than he had upon entering. Aryzah came with him, keeping him company on the Ashanda Ray. Vo-Shay promptly returned to the gambling tables, skinning a Herglic named Doune out of a quarter of a million credits, the single credit he had bet had been provided by a farmboy named Nyo, who hoped to use his share of the cash to buy a lightsaber. Nyo got his lightsaber, and Vo-Shay decided to sign him on as the first mate of the Ashanda Ray, where Aryzah decided to teach Nyo the ways of the first.
