Baydo Chasdy

"It seems as though Chasdy was born without the ability to make an honest living."

- Odanni

Baydo Chasdy was a gambler, con artist, womanizer, and the nominal proprietor of the HyperDive cantina in Wildwater City on Dac. As he had no head for business, however, he left daily operations up to his Kian'thar bartender Lliegis'Nevz. In fact, he was rarely seen in his cantina.

Most of the HyperDive's patrons thought of Chasdy as a mostly harmless and incompetent, but lucky, buffoon. In fact, he was a foster agent with Rebel Special Ops. His job was to help Rebel operatives who were stranded or in danger of being uncovered by the Galactic Empire &mdash; "orphans", in Special Ops slang. He collected these orphans and brought them back into Alliance hands on board his modified YT-1300 light freighter, the Chaser.

When he was off on his missions for the Rebellion, the patrons and staff of the HyperDive assumed he was off running some scam or other elsewhere. Lliegis'Nevz may have been aware of Chasdy's double life, but he never revealed anything about it.

Behind the scenes
Chasdy's description in Wretched Hives of Scum and Villainy is contradictory: according to that sourcebook, he collected lost Rebel agents in the HyperDive and took them back to the Alliance. However, Wretched Hives of Scum and Villainy is set during a time when Dac was safely in Alliance hands &mdash; meaning that any Rebel agent who could make their way to Chasdy's cantina had no need of rescue.
