"Tell your leader, Ebann Drake, that his people have slighted Xet of the Black Sun…and only my grace and mercy have spared your lives."

―Xet, to Chelli Lona Aphra and Sana Starros

Xet was a Falleen member of the Black Sun crime syndicate who later became a spy for the Crimson Dawn syndicate, feeding them information on Black Sun. In 3 ABY, Xet attended the Auction for Han Solo hosted by Crimson Dawn, where she was attacked by Doctor Chelli Aphra and the smuggler Sana Starros, who stole a necklace, which included data crystals containing information on Black Sun, the Falleen was wearing.

Biography

"That thing's a slicer's dream. Each of those data crystals is perfect for smuggling information…especially if you're trading secrets at a party like this."

―Aphra, on Xet's necklace

The necklace worn by Xet at the auction for Han Solo

Xet was a Falleen who was member of the Black Sun criminal syndicate. At some point, she became a spy for the resurgent criminal syndicate Crimson Dawn. In 3 ABY, Xet attended the Auction for Han Solo hosted by Crimson Dawn on the planet Jekara. Prior to the auction, Xet spoke with Gallin Crae, a former member of the Sixth Kin syndicate and fellow Crimson Dawn operative.

From nearby, Doctor Chelli Aphra noticed Xet's necklace, which featured three data crystals yielding information on the Black Sun's inner workings. The doctor attempted to steal it by distracting the Falleen, spilling a cocktail on her and apologizing while trying to rub the drink off. As Aphra reached in to take the jewelry, Xet expressed offense and shoved her away before the she could take the necklace. Though the archaeologist had not succeeded in her original plot, she instead had planted an electrified device on the back of Xet's neck with the intent of conducting another attempt later. As Xet and Crae walked away, the former noted that she was only allowing to go free because she recognized Aphra and her colleague Sana Starros's robes as affiliated with the arms dealer Ebann Drake.

While cleaning her clothing in a sink, Xet and her droid were once again attacked by Aphra and Starros. Starros choked Xet unconcious and secured the necklace while Aphra sliced into the droid, discovering that the Falleen was a Crimson Dawn spy. Aphra and Starros eventually gave the necklace to their employer, Domina Tagge of the House of Tagge, who later displayed a hologram with an image of Xet. Despite turning the device over, Aphra kept a copy of the ciphers and access codes stored in the necklace for later use.

Personality and traits

"Of course. That hideous jacket."

―Xet, on Aphra and Starros' clothing

Xet had green skin, black hair, and brown eyes. She had a tattoo of the Crimson Dawn symbol on her right shoulder. Xet considered the jackets worn by Aphra and Starros to be "hideous." After Aphra spilled a drink on her, Xet proclaimed that only her "grace and mercy" had spared the doctor's life.

Equipment

"Stop squirming and gimme your Black Sun Syndicate secrets."

―Aphra attempting to slice into Xet's droid

Xet was accompanied by her droid, a gray plated droid with a single blue sensor. It also had an arm that possessed a scomp link that Aphra and Starros used to open doors aboard the Vermillion, Crimson Dawn's flagship, with Xet's access codes found on the droid. While at the auction, Xet wore a purple and gold dress with a layered, multicolored data-crystal necklace that featured gemstones. Her outfit was completed by a brown belt, brown shoes, and a gold-colored hair accessory.
