Nysorly Nysorly was a human female big game hunter who was active sometime after the end of the Galactic Civil War . At some point , Nysorly went to the planet Ithor to hunt a predatory molsume for its pelt . After killing a molsume that tried to ambush her , she met the Dowutin hunter Grummgar , who was also hunting molsumes . The two traded banter while at each other ' s mercy , with Nysorly under the impression that Grummgar was intent on stealing her prize . When Grummgar suddenly fired his rifle , Nysorly shot his speeder bike out from under him and sent him crashing into a tree . In actuality , Grummgar had shot at a second molsume that had snuck up behind Nysorly . Grummgar survived the crash , and the two hunters agreed to help each other process their molsume pelts . Biography . The molsume hunter . A young , short human female , Nysorly was left to live on her own sometime after the Galactic Civil War when she was sixteen years of age . She pursued the life of a professional big game hunter and learned how to skin the pelts of molsume s , large predatory animals that lived on the planet Ithor . At some point , Nysorly went after the pelt of a molsume in order to sell it somewhere , although hunting in Ithor ' s jungle s was considered illegal . After arriving in the jungle with a modified shortblaster and a backpack , she hunted molsumes for a week . Eventually , she found a clearing at the bottom of a hill and placed her backpack off to the side , hiding her gun underneath it . She proceeded to inspect the nearby fungi , while using herself as bait for the predator she sought . Nysorly and the Dowutin . As Nysorly waited for her prey , she was spied upon by another game hunter . Sitting on speeder bike at the top of the hill , hidden by the foliage , was the Dowutin hunter Grummgar , who had been hired to bring in a molsume pelt . He went unnoticed by Nysorly . Eventually , a molsume neared the clearing , which both hunters noticed . Unaware of Nysorly ' s intentions , Grummgar decided to not warn the girl about the approaching animal and instead use her as bait . He rationalized that if he was fast enough , he could stop the beast from killing her . However , Nysorly was aware of the molsume , and when it sprang from behind her , the human hunter grabbed her shortblaster and shot the molsume in the face , killing it . Grummgar , surprised at the human ' s skill , decided to confront her and congratulate Nysorly on her kill . He did not make it far down the hill when Nysorly noticed the large alien and trained her blaster on him , under the impression that he intended to steal her kill . While Nysorly kept her weapon trained on the Dowutin , Grummgar pointed his gun slightly away from her as a sign of goodwill . Grummgar assumed that Nysorly ' s shortblaster was empty , as shortblasters typically carry a single round . However , Nysorly ' s blaster had been modified to carry two shots . When Grummgar insisted that she could miss , she claimed that she never missed , after which Grummgar claimed that they were at an impasse . Nysorly disagreed . Grummgar kept the conversation going , and they continued to banter , wondering out loud if one them had to kill the other over the molsume pelt . Without warning , Grummgar spat in Nysorly ' s direction . Fearing that the spittle was poisonous , Nysorly ducked aside and shot Grummgar ' s speeder as he fired his own weapon . The Dowutin ' s speeder careened into a carnivorous johinuu tree that tried to eat Grummgar , only to spit him out into a patch of fungi . Nysorly began to reload her weapon when she sensed a presence behind her : a second molsume with a fresh , fatal blaster wound to the head . Grummgar climbed from the fungi plants and Nysorly thanked him for saving her from the second molsume . Both hunters were content with the fact that they had trophies of their own , although Nysorly commented on that Grummgar ' s blast could have been for her if the second molsume had not appeared . Nysorly explained how long she had been on her own , and Grummgar revealed that he had had a similar , lonely upbringing . Grummgar offered to carry Nysorly ' s molsume for her , and in turn she offered to help him skin his molsume before prompting the possibility of a partnership . He withheld interest as he preferred to hunt alone , and claimed to have other business interests . When Nysorly pried for further explanation , Grummgar instead told her that he wanted compensation for his speeder . Personality and traits . Nysorly was a small , youthful - looking human with sharp , reactive reflexes . As a result of being on her own , Nysorly devloped a cautious , unassuming demeanor that disallowed her from easily granting anyone too much trust . Nysorly kept a clam , level head throughout the entire standoff with Grummgar , and was only unnerved by his returned calmness . Nysorly was not knowledgeable of Dowutin spittle , and evaded Grummgar ' s spit blast in fear of it being toxic . In addition , she evaded the spittle and returned fire all in the amount of time it took Grummgar to fire his weapon at the molsume behind her . After realizing Grummgar had saved her , she offered him his thanks and a partnership . Equipment . When Nysorly hunted molsumes , she carried with her an expensive , powerful shortblaster that had been modified to carry two explosive shells as opposed to just one . When the first molsume attacked , she shot it under the jaw ; the explosive shell shattered the animal ' s brain and nearly decapitated the creature . After firing the second shell at Grummgar ' s speeder , she had to reload the weapon . She also carried with her a large backpack that was able to conceal the weapon entirely by laying on it . Behind the scenes . Nysorly was created for the short story " Bait " , which appeared in issue 162 of " Star Wars Insider " , which was written by Alan Dean Foster . Although the short story had several illustrations that were provided by Brian Rood , Nysorly does not appear in any of them .
