Samara Kebyc

"Well, you see, since we're a small operation, we don't fall into the jurisdiction of the Empire." "So you're part of the Mining Guild, then?" "No, not actually. Our operation is small enough not to be noticed."

- Lando Calrissian explains Cloud City to Leia Organa

Kebyc, a Human female living in Cloud City on Bespin during the Galactic Civil War, was a senior accountant for the Cloud City Miner's Guild, administering the annual dues of the miners with membership in the organization. Like the Baron Administrator of Cloud City at the time, Lando Calrissian, Kebyc opposed corruption, acting at times against other members of the guild. She was present in Cloud City when Calrissian called for an evacuation before Imperial forces could subjugate the mining operation.

Biography
A Human female, Kebyc was a resident of the tibanna gas mining colony Cloud City, on the gas giant planet Bespin in the Anoat sector of the Outer Rim Territories, during the Galactic Civil War. There, she was a member of the Cloud City Miner's Guild, an organization under the jurisdiction of Cloud City's Baron Administrator, Lando Calrissian. The Miner's Guild was not part of the galaxy-spanning Mining Guild, the attentions of which the Cloud City mining operation was too small to attract. Kebyc served as a senior accountant for the guild, and her duties included administration of the members' annual dues.

Prior to Calrissian's administration of Cloud City, corruption was rife, and so he sought to reduce it wherever possible. Kebyc was also involved in this trend, seeking to end corruption among other members of the Miner's Guild.

Kebyc was present in a corridor in Cloud City, conversing with other residents, as Calrissian led Leia Organa, Han Solo, and Chewbacca&mdash;representatives of the Alliance to Restore the Republic&mdash;past on the way to a meeting in which Calrissian handed the three over to the custody of Lord Darth Vader of the Galactic Empire, in an effort to prevent further Imperial intervention in Cloud City's operation. When Imperial forces nonetheless descended upon Cloud City to occupy the facility, in violation of his agreement with Vader, Calrissian ordered the evacuation of personnel who did not wish to live under Imperial rule.

Personality and traits
Kebyc held a high position within the Cloud City Miner's Guild; as a senior accountant for the group, she administrated funds such as the annual membership dues from the miners. Parallel to Lando Calrissian's efforts to the same effect, Kebyc fought corruption among the members of the guild.

Behind the scenes
Kebyc first appeared as an unnamed uncredited extra in the 1980 film Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, where she can be seen having a discussion as Lando Calrissian, Princess Leia, Han Solo, and Chewbacca walk past. Her name and details were expanded upon on a Decipher, Inc. Star Wars Customizable Card Game card, part of the November 1997 expansion pack Cloud City Limited. She has not appeared in any media since, and, aside from brief mentions on her CCG card and in the Wizards of the Coast online supplement Bespin: Action Tidings, neither has the Cloud City Miner's Guild.
