The Human female Kath Scarlet operated as a pirate during the Imperial era . By the Galactic Civil War , she was the captain of the Binayre Pirates , a group of pirates and smugglers based out of the twin worlds of Talus and Tralus , who controlled several areas of the Corellian sector , including the Trifecta Star and the Rayless Lantern . Scarlet preyed upon merchant vessels passing through the area , hiding her Kuat Systems Engineering " Firespray - 31 " - class patrol and attack craft among asteroids to ambush and capture unwary starships . During the Galactic Civil War , the Galactic Empire learned of a secret Rebel base on Talus and dispatched several Imperial officers from the Raithal Academy to seek out and destroy it . Scarlet ' s Firespray was nearby when the Imperial squad ' s " Lambda " - class T - 4a shuttle emerged from hyperspace in the Corellian system . Believing the new arrival to be a cargo vessel , Scarlet attacked , using her ship ' s ion cannon to target the shuttle ' s hyperdrive , disabling it and preventing the ship from escaping . The stricken shuttle was then grappled and boarded , with Scarlet personally leading several pirates in a boarding party . Met by the shuttle ' s crew , Scarlet demanded that they surrender and take her to their cargo hold . However , the Imperials refused and drew their hidden weapons , leading to a vicious firefight in which the Imperials managed to gain the upper hand . Sensing the situation worsening for her side , Scarlet deftly escaped back through the airlock to her Firespray and escaped before the Imperials could repair their hyperdrive to give chase , though several of her pirates ended up in Imperial custody . Around the same time , the Binayre Pirates learned of a spacer who was in the Corellian system to recover the Z - 95 Headhunter " Dire Hound " , which had previously belonged to their aunt Evgenia , from a secret hangar on Talus . The Empire too had learned of the Z - 95 and dispatched a team led by Imperial Security Bureau agent Jeffren Brek to impound it . Scarlet and a group of Binayres followed the Imperials to the hangar and waited while a shootout developed between Brek ' s team and the spacer . Only when the Imperials were driven back did the pirates reveal themselves to the spacer . With her heavy blaster pistol aimed at the spacer , Scarlet demanded that they turn the Z - 95 over to her , but the spacer intended to defend their property and put up a short , but brutal firefight . Deciding that the price was not worth the effort , Scarlet and a couple of her pirates escaped , leaving the spacer alone . Personality and traits . Kath Scarlet was a cunning pirate whose favorite trick was to hide her vessel among asteroids to take ships unaware and who did not hesitate to attack an unarmed vessel . Most pilots preferred to trail targets at a short distance , allowing them to fire while staying out of their target ' s own firing arc . Scarlet , however , to overshoot her opponents in an opening tilt and use a series of unpredictable , low - speed maneuvers to get into firing position and catch them off - guard . She was sometimes known to use a Koiogran turn to move directly in front of her adversary and rely on her own skills to fire before her enemy . After disabling a target she would board it and give the crew one chance to surrender their cargo to her , but was willing to kill if necessary . She would also pursue targets of a personal interest , seeking to capture the Z - 95 Headhunter " Dire Hound " after taking a liking to its uprated 2b fission engine s and bubble canopy . Under her leadership , the Binayre Pirates were well - armed and organized . However , Scarlet put her own wellbeing ahead of her crew ' s , fleeing a fight with Imperial forces while leaving several of her crew behind to be captured . She was often sarcastic when addressing her victims and even winked at the Imperials when fleeing their shuttle . Scarlet was typically clad in a flight suit and carried a heavy blaster pistol .
