Ki'roThe cutthroat pirate known as Ki'ro originally hails from the desert world of Tattooine, where he committed murders most foul. Ki'ro has always been a malcontent and a criminal, mostly petty thievery, and was considered the black bantha of his otherwise respected family. He coveted I'krit, the beautiful wife of his brother Fam'ir, and sought to do away with his brother and take his wife for his own. Ki'ro lured Fam'ir out into the Jundland Wastes on an errand to retrieve a lost droid belonging to a friend. While in the desert, he bludgeoned his brother to death with a gaderffi stick he had found weeks earlier. He brought his brother's body home to I'krit, along with the murder weapon. Ki'ro claimed that his dear brother had been killed by a Tusken Raider and that he had scared off the Tusken but it had been too late to save Fam'ir's life. As I'krit fell to her knees sobbing, Ki'ro embraced her and began making innappropriate advances on her. I'krit spurned his clumsy advances, tore herself from his grasp, and screamed at him for disprespecting his brother's memory and honor in such a fashion, enraging Ki'ro. Ki'ro advanced on her, telling her that she was his now. When she rejected him again, he drew his vibroscimitar and slew her as he felt that if she would not be his, no one else could have her. Unbeknownst to Ki'ro, Fam'ir and I'krit's oldest daughter had seen Ki'ro murder her mother and fled to the family great house and roused the other relatives. They pursued Ki'ro but he lost them in the canyons that he knew so well due to his criminal activities.
Ki'ro made his way to Mos Espa and hopped a tramp freighter offworld. Ki'ro served with several different pirate crews before making his way to Aquos, figuring that the last place the authorities would look for a native desert dweller would be on a planet covered by water. Ki'ro served aboard the Reaper before being transferred to the Black Pearl to keep watch for possible mutiny attempts against the Ni'Hee appointed captain Ioz.

Ika'BelIka'Bel, the hulking Mon Calamari gunnery commander of the Black Pearl is well liked and respected among the motley crew of pirates that call the Pearl home. During the escape of former captain Jak Sparrow, Ika'Bel noticed that first mate Gibbs had disabled the Pearl's engines so as to prevent pursuit of the stolen skiff he planned to rescue Sparrow with. Knowing full well that Bar'Bossa would order to fire apon the skiff, he disabled the power to the ship's defenses. After the escape, he claimed that Gibbs had disabled the weapons along with the engines.
Ika'Bel continues to serve with distinction aboard the Pearl, but he also secretly feeds intelligence to the renegade Captain Sparrow via messages transmitted by Gim Haw'kens' belt micro transmitter, alerting Sparrow to any attempts to capture him.

Gim Haw'kens Gimessa "Gim" Haw'kens ran away from home when she was eleven standard years old. Her father, a B-Wing pilot, had heroically died in the Battle Of Endor when she was a baby and her mother, now a New Republic officer had little time for her, leaving her to be raised by a nannydroid. Gim slipped out of her home in the middle of the night after rewiring her nannydroid to keep it in sleep mode. She disguised her slim frame in male clothing and used a counterfeit credit voucher to secure transport offworld. Gim had grown up reading tales of high adventure, particularly loving those set on the high seas of Mon Calamari and Mer, but knew that these two fiercely loyal New republic worlds could not be a haven to her. She found references to Aquos on the holo-net and eventually made her way there.
Once reaching Aquos, she signed on as cabin boy on the Black Pearl. Her true gender went unnoticed by the crew for over 4 years until she had physically developed to the point where even baggy clothes could no longer hide her physique. The letcherous pirate Rigetti was the first to truly notice her "developments", and he tried to blackmail her into heeping her secret quiet in exchange for certain "favors". But Rigetti bit off more than he could chew when he actually attempted to lay hands on her, Gim drew the small vibroknife from her boot and Rigetti lost an eye.
Gim revealed her true gender to the crew herself to take away any power the now maimed Rigetti could even attempt to hold over her. Most of the crew could have cared less as there were already several female pirates of many different species aboard the Pearl. Several crewmen were actually very relieved about the fact that she was female as they had been at sea for quite some time and had begun to worry that they really liked the look of a young man's backside in crewer's pants.....
Gim is fiercly loyal to the now exiled Captain Jak Sparrow, even sporting a small bird tattoo on her left shoulder in defiance of the new captain, Ioz. She conspires with Ika'Bel to feed information and warnings to her former captain via a small microtransmitter disguised as a platinomium skull on her belt. She hopes to someday reinstate her friend as the rightful captain of the Black Pearl.
Her mother is currently using all of the intelligence contacts at her disposal to find her wayward daughter..........

This is a character that I was at a loss as to how I would create her. There was a serious dearth of small, teen-sized female action figures on the market to use as a base body. I wanted her to be really petite, so she could have easily passed for a young boy. The Speed racer Trixie figure only comes up to most standard male Star Wars figures' shoulders so she was perfect for my needs.
