Nyreen Vollen

"What if I came across some nice folk who's only fault was that the Force dumped midi-chlorians in their system? How would you feel about them?"

- Nyreen Vollen to Kal Skirata broaching the subject of bringing fugitive Jedi to Mandalore.

Nyreen Vollen, known as Ny for short, was a freighter pilot who assisted Kal Skirata and his adopted clan near the end of the Clone Wars. A staunch supporter of Kal's belief that clone soldiers deserved a full life, free from the encumberances placed upon them by the Grand Army of the Republic, Ny helped transport deserters from the GAR to Mandalore, connecting them to Kal and his family.

Biography
"It's an occupational hazard if you haul freight. You find stowaways and illegals in your hold, and you hear their stories, and sometimes you don't feel right dumping them out the air lock, and pretty soon you start trying to do the decent thing in a nasty galaxy."

- Nyreen Vollen to Kal Skirata, on finding fugitive Jedi.

Little is known about Ny Vollen's life. It is known that at some point she was married, but her husband had disappeared. What is known is that sometime in her career as a freight hauler she met Null ARC Trooper A'den. A'den introduced Ny to his family when they were looking for a means to investigate Kuat Drive Yards. She agreed to help them in their investigation in exchange for help discoverring her husband's fate. A'den did discover what had become of her husband, and she was happy to have the closure.

At the close of the clone wars, Nyreen became involved in transporting refugees to Mandalore, connecting them with Kal Skirata. She delivered Yayax Squad, Levet (a clone who had served under Etain Tur-Mukan, and brought news of two Jedi who needed refuge.

The other was of particular interest to Kal, Kina Ha, a Kaminoan Jedi, who was genetically engineered to have a longer life.  Unbeknownst to Ny, Kal planned to use Kina Ha's DNA in his search for a cure for the clones rapid-aging.
