Dunc T'racen

Dunc T'racen was a Mistryl Shadow Guard warrior-woman. In 8 ABY, she was teamed as junior partner to Shada D'ukal, serving alongside her as co-pilot and gunner of The Fury.

Dunc shared Shada's air of professional competence and carried a similar arsenal of personal weaponry, including several vibroblades and blasters, but she seemed less battle-hardened, and still believed that the Shadow Guard were more than mercenaries, although her air of youthful idealism was perhaps emphasised by her fair complexion and delicate features.

At around the time that Han Solo kidnapped Princess Leia to Dathomir, The Fury was contracted for 20,000 credits to transport Fenig Nabon and Ghitsa Dogder with a cargo from Leb'Reen on Ryloth to Nal Hutta. Dunc expected the cargo to be ryll korr for medical use, and was horrified to discover that it was actually a troupe of Twi'lek dancers indentured to the Shak Clan, being sold into virtual slavery to Durga the Hutt.

Throughout the voyage, Dunc was continually baited by Ghitsa, and the situation was not improved when the Karazak Slavers Guild ship Indenture tried to attack The Fury and appropriate their living cargo. Shada and Dunc decided to liberate the slaves, and unceremoneously offloaded Fen and Ghitsa in an escape pod&mdash;only to discover that that had been the plan all along, and they had been unwittingly manipulated into aiding their passengers in a complex con.

Behind the Scenes
The character of Dunc T'racen is based on fangirl Dark Spork, who authors Trish Pahl and Chris Cassidy knew as the website maintainer of Club Jade.

The real Dunc now describes herself as a "former talifan/troll/whathaveyou", but she remains active in fandom, running the Club Jade website as a fandom news blog,  and a serving as a moderator at the Official Site's message boards. 

Dunc is also the designer of Wookieepedia's own, rather spiffy logo.
