Nash Durango was a female human pilot and mechanic from the Outer Rim planet Tenoo who lived during the High Republic Era. She befriended Jedi younglings Kai Brightstar, Lys Solay, and Nubs.[1] Nash and her Jedi friends competed in a boat race against Raena Zess who always won the race because of how advanced her boat was. Both boats got stuck in some mud, so they had to work together to escape. Nash and the young Jedi eventually won the race and won a trophy from Hap.[4]
Biography[]
Family business[]
Nash Durango was a human female resided on the planet Tenoo. She, along with her droid RJ-83, helped her parents' shuttle company and transported many things with her shuttle, the Crimson Firehawk.[1]
New Jedi friends[]
In 232 BBY, Durango was sent to Coruscant as one of the shuttles delivering Jedi younglings to the Jedi Temple on her homeworld Tenoo. While she waited for the Jedi younglings, she decided to repair the Crimson Firehawk. Soon, three Jedi younglings Kai Brightstar, Lys Solay, and Nubs arrived as Durango finished the repair on the Crimson Firehawk. They introduced themselves and then quickly got onboard to leave for Tenoo.[1]
When they arrived on Tenoo, Durango was contacted by Hap, a chef who operated Hap's Sap Tap in Kublop Springs. He knew about her Jedi passengers and asked for help, as his café was being raided by a gang of pirates led by Taborr Val Dorn. They landed in Kublop Springs and Durango, who stayed with her ship, told the Jedi to contact her if they needed help. After a fight between the young Jedi and Taborr's gang, the pirates attempted to escape with their loot. The Jedi contacted Durango, who arrived with the Firehawk. With RJ-83's help, she used a crane hook to pull up the cart with Hap's stolen belongings before the pirates could load it aboard their starship. This distracted them long enough for the Jedi and several local residents to arrive, forcing the pirates to leave empty-handed. Durango later transported the Jedi to the temple.[5]
