Moranda Savich Moranda Savich , a Human woman , was a professional thief , con artist , and master of disguise who worked independently and in association with Talon Karrde ' s smuggling organization . In 0 BBY , she helped the Rebel Alliance get information on the construction of the Death Star I . In 19 ABY , though she was old enough to be a great - grandmother , she played an active role in Karrde ' s efforts to assist the New Republic during the Caamas Document crisis . Biography . Activities on Darkknell . In 0 BBY , Savich was on the run from Corellian Security Force . CorSec agent Hal Horn had tracked her down on Corellia , Kreeling , Dorsis , and Mantarran , but she evaded him on each of those worlds . While on Darkknell , she impulsively stole a datapack from a patron at the Continuum Void tapcafe on Darkknell , unaware that he was an Imperial defector planning to give the datapack to a Rebel contact . Once she realized that she had stolen encrypted Imperial Military files , and that Imperial Intelligence agents were on the trail of the data ( though not on her trail specifically ) , she slipped the datacards into the window well of an Imperial agent ' s rented landspeeder . After she had done this , however , Hal Horn and Intelligence Agent Ysanne Isard spotted her . When she turned to run , the first agent ( Trabler ) shot her on Isard ' s orders . Believing her dead , Isard , Horn , and Trabler left to pursue the Rebel agents they still thought had the datapack . Savich was only wounded , however , and was taken to a safehouse for medical treatment by Garm Bel Iblis , the intended recipient of the datapack . She agreed , for a price of 50 , 000 credits , to work with Bel Iblis to steal the datacards back . She did this by calling Darkknell ' s security forces with false tips , hoping to draw Isard into the open . With this accomplished , she used her disguise talents to impersonate an old friend of Horn ' s , and her pickpocketing skills to steal Isard ' s identification . She then had Isard arrested by Colonel Nyroska of the Darkknell Defense Agency , while claiming to be Isard herself . By the time the local authorities realized they had made a mistake , Bel Iblis had retrieved the datacards , and he and Savich had separately left the planet . Activities on Bothawui . Sometime after her time on Darkknell , Savich put her talents to work for Talon Karrde ' s organization . While doing courier work for Karrde on Cejansij , Luke Skywalker helped her and her Noghri bodyguard Plakhmirakh fight off thugs hired by a Hutt syndicate . ( Skywalker was on Cejansij to investigate the source of clones who had appeared in certain pirate groups . ) Soon afterward , Karrde sent Savich to Bothawui to investigate the anti - Bothan terrorist organization calling itself " Vengeance " . While in the planetary capital of Drev ' starn , she met up with Corran Horn ( son of the late Hal Horn ) and Wedge Antilles , who had been sent on a similar mission for the New Republic by Garm Bel Iblis . Together , they had some success in tracking down the Imperial Intelligence cell which was behind Vengeance ' s activities . However , Antilles and Horn were called off their mission in order to join the rest of Rogue Squadron , which was about to join the rest of the New Republic task force for the Battle of Yaga Minor . Though her criminal past made her unable to alert the Bothan authorities , Savich continued to harass the Imperials . Despite starting a fire in Exoticalia ' s Pet Emporium , the Drev ' starn pet shop the Imperials were using as a front , " Vengeance " did not put a stop to their plans . Bothawui ' s planetary shields were still sabotaged , and a battle at Bothawui ensued . However , thanks in part to her efforts , the Imperial timetable was disrupted , one of several factors which led to the Imperial Remnant ' s defeat . Personality and traits . Savich was fond of Gralish liqueur , which she was often seen sipping during her adventures on Darkknell and Bothawui . She was also known for smoking cigarra s in her early days . Savich ' s ship , the " Fingertip Express " , was a Sydon MRX - BR Pacifier scout vessel sold as Imperial surplus .
