Baydo Chasdy was a Human male who resided on the planet Mon Calamari during the Galactic Civil War . Known as " Bay " to his friends , Chasdy was an inveterate gambler and womanizer who spent much of his life as a self - confessed con man , swindler , and liar . During the Galactic Civil War , Chasdy rented space in the Fathoms entertainment complex in Wildwater City ' s Glitter Cay tower from the owner , the Mon Calamari entrepreneur and crime lord Odanni . In the space , he established the HyperDive Cantina , a rowdy bar where spacers could meet , drink Geillian ale , play sabacc , and watch sporting events . However , the HyperDive had one unique selling point : it was submerged under a meter of water . Wetsuit s and bathing togs were recommended attire , with raised plastech tables stretching from the floor to above the water level to allow patrons to rest their drinks . The bar was similarly appointed , stools were bolted to the floor , and a corner of the cantina was dedicated to games of chance and sabacc tables . Holoscreens were placed high along the walls , allowing patrons to watch sporting events such as the shockball championship . The rental fee for the HyperDive was relatively cheap , and Chasdy also gave Odanni a small percentage of his profits . Odanni believed that the ability to earn an honest living was beyond Chasdy , but the gambler refuted that claim , pointing out that owning the HyperDive made him a legitimate businessman . Despite owning the cantina , Chasdy was rarely there . He left the running of the bar to his Kian ' thar bartender , Lliegis ' Nevz . As Chasdy knew little about managing a business , that was seen as a fortunate turn of events , as the cantina would have been bankrupted without Lliegis ' Nevz ' s presence . Chasdy ' s regular excursions away from the HyperDive were a cover . People who knew him believed that his absences were attempts to swindle someone else out of their money , or run a con game , as he was well known to run a multitude of scams at the same time . They generally considered him to be harmless , with little skills as a con man , but one who was lucky . Chasdy did nothing to refute their beliefs , using it as the perfect cover for one of the most dangerous jobs in the Alliance to Restore the Republic . Operating as a Foster Agent for Alliance Special Operations , his job was to assist orphaned operatives — those agents who had been stranded or had their cover exposed — to return to the Alliance . Chasdy ' s dual life was perilous ; Foster Agents were always in danger of being discovered by the Galactic Empire , as their names were given to operatives who were in danger of capture , who could be forced to reveal the name of their contact under interrogation . Rebels in need of Chasdy ' s help would seek him out in the HyperDive , and he would then use his ship , the modified YT - 1300 light freighter " Chaser " , to deliver them safely back to the Alliance . Sometime during the Galactic Civil War , a group of Alliance agents were being pursued by the Empire . Chasdy was their nearest point of contact , and they had to evade Imperial pursuit , Wildwater City ' s shady denizens , and Odanni — who believed that capturing the group would lead to a profitable situation for herself — before reaching safety . At another time , a group of spacers was hired by Koll , a Qwohog medic for the Alliance , to find his sister , Kei No Kay . Tracking her down to Wave Works , a gift shop in the Fathoms complex , the spacers discovered that she was being kept as a slave by the Ishi Tib owner of the store , Jund Voon , and was forced to create wondrous pieces of artwork for him to sell . The spacers attempted to convince Chasdy and Lliegis ' Nevz of the situation at Wave Works , and to attain their help in rescuing her . Voon , aware of the spacers ' intent , did not want to lose his prize , and considered contracting the services of the feared Quarren , Nollo Kanx , who operated as an enforcer and assassin for Odanni , to deal with the group . Personality and traits . Baydo Chasdy was a gambling , womanizing scoundrel who cheerfully admitted to lying , cheating and swindling others . Considered incompetent and unskilled — albeit lucky — by his peers , Chasdy carefully cultivated his image to distract people from his true work as an Alliance Foster Agent . He had no head for business , and happily left the running of the HyperDive to Lleigis ' Nevz , although he enjoyed bragging about the place and its unique features . Although his peers doubted his skills , Chasdy was an accomplished con man and forger , able to intimidate or persuade his targets as needed . He was streetwise and stealthy , but trained in unarmed combat and the use of a blaster . His operation of the " Chaser " meant he could fly space transports , including navigating through hyperspace , as well as operating the ship ' s weapons , deflector shields , and sensors . Chasdy had knowledge of several alien languages , and was able to determine the value of items for sale . His running of the submerged HyperDive cantina gave him above - average swimming skills , and he was technically adept with security systems . He generally carried falsified papers and fake IDs , a datapad , several changes of clothes , a chronometer , and a recording rod , and was armed with a hold - out blaster and a blaster pistol . Behind the scenes . Baydo Chasdy appeared in " Wretched Hives of Scum & Villainy " , a supplement for " " published by West End Games in 1997 . The supplement was written by Paul Danner , with illustrations of Chasdy provided by Joel Carroll .
