Hawker Bryce - Kelley Hawker Bryce - Kelley was a male Human smuggler who was the owner of both the medium freighter " Royal Mistress " and the bulk freighter " Queen ' s Victory " along with his co - pilot Rypka during the Galactic Civil War . Biography . Hawker Bryce - Kelley and his Twi ' lek co - pilot Rypka wandered Outer Rim as smugglers . The duo once met with a group of wannabe Rebels in the Mos Eisley Cantina and arranged to race their ship , the " Limping Lady " , with the " Queen ' s Victory " to whichever system they chose . He waited in orbit above Tatooine for them and they proceeded to race to the planet Zoma V in the Zoma system . After the race , he invited the group on board his ship for drinks and to transfer the credits . Sometime after this , Bryce - Kelly was being pursued by " Imperial Customs Frigate 517 " and came to the Reginard system , following a Stellar - class starport beacon which had in fact been planted in the Rebel passive sensor array by Imperial spy Tanya Madera . He soon met with a group of Rebels on the planet who were investigating why his ship had landed so close to their sensor array . He explained to them what had happened , and that he was angry that there wasn ' t a starport nearby . When the group asked him where this starport was meant to be , he pointed towards the hill which the sensor array was located upon . When the group went to investigate , they were attacked by Madera who no longer posed as a spy . Bryce - Kelly and Rypka joined in the fight , quickly killing Madera . The trouble was not over , however , as the Imperial Customs Frigate which had been chasing them soon arrived in the system also . The group of Rebels managed to convince the crew of the ship that Bryce - Kelly was not on the planet , and so they soon left , leaving Bryce - Kelly with the Rebels . Personality and traits . Bryce - Kelley had a cheery personality , but was very much a rogue ; there was always a clear smile flashing through his thick beard and moustache , and he always loving a good challenge , never being above flirting with attractive ladies . Bryce - Kelley himself believed that good business for others would often translate into a better opportunity for him , and would often spread favors around in the hope that the more he spread around , the more he could collect later . Bryce - Kelley had a rather odd accent which would seem to indicate that he was from an elite system in the Core Worlds . Equipment . He was most often seen in a tan spacer ' s jumpsuit that was covered in pockets which seemingly held just what he or his friends needed . However , despite his trusting and friendly attitude , he would still carry a heavy blaster pistol at his side in case of emergencies or the inevitable encounters with Imperial or bounty hunter forces , as well as double - crosses from those he thought were friends . Behind the scenes . Despite being called Hawker Bryce - Kelly in the earlier Challenge Magazines which he first appeared in , West End Games would later use the character for " Platt ' s Smugglers Guide " in which an ' e ' was added to his name , causing him to then be called Hawker Bryce - Kelley . As the West End Games material holds more weight canon ically then both the Challenge Magazines , it can be assumed that this is his proper name .
