Kara Safwan was a human female who was hired by the criminal Rang Clan to spy and gather intel on the operations of the rival criminal group known as Crimson Dawn.[1] In 10 BBY,[3] she was on board First Light, the yacht used by Crimson Dawn's leader Dryden Vos, when it traveled the planet Vandor to collect a delivery of stolen coaxium.[2] Safwan blended in well with the other revelers on board, and drank Vandor ice water to keep her head clear; however, Vos's concierge Margo suspected she was up to something and discreetly blocked her attempts to get deeper into the crime lord's inner circle.[1] Safwan had fair skin and brown eyes and hair. While on the yacht, she wore a matching black and gold dress and top.[2]
