## Relationships

### Jessa Flexand

Jessa is a blue-skinned alien bartender on the Main Character's home planet. She acts as Zhora's "receptionist" on this colony, and lets Zhora rent the bar's balcony for business meetings.

### Wyst Ponchy

A human woman with vitiligo who works as Zhora's assistant, mechanic, and accountant. She grew up on the mob run planet Carcalla, learning in childhood how to pick pockets and serve as an informant. When she was fifteen she tried to steal from Zhora's ship and was caught. Zhora was impressed with Wyst and offered her a job. The two have remained together in the years since. Zhora views Wyst as a little sister.

### Mortem Solis

Mortem Solis is a a powerful criminal who keeps her true identity a closely guarded secret. She commissioned Zhora to design a silent gun that fires bio-hazardous ammunition. When MC manages to create this for Zhora to deliver, Mortem Solis tries to force Zhora to work for her. This leads to Zhora, Wyst, and MC fleeing and avoiding her. In learning more about her, they discover Mortem Solis has made enemies of many others in the criminal underworld, and has the Empire's Commander Tiberius and his young lieutenant, Rhea Everleigh, as two of her contacts.

### Typho Ardas

Typho Ardas is a famously skilled bounty hunter hired by Mortem Solis to hunt Zhora. Zhora had previously sold weapons to her, but they do not have any further personal relationship. Typho is known to be not only one of the most successful bounty hunters, but also to live by a certain code of conduct. She always completes her contracts, and never harms civilians. Wyst eventually convinces her to abandon Mortem's contract on Zhora by proving that Mortem had tricked her into killing civilian targets on previous jobs. After this, Typho and Zhora have a strong business relationship. Typho seeks out Zhora for her weaponry needs, and helps Zhora chase raiders out of Penumbra Arms's new factory. Typho shows herself in these interactions to be very meticulous about details and contracts. Typho's is the first order to be processed at the new factory, and Zhora invites her to the factory's grand opening party. Typho, despite not be very social, seems to be a fan of cake.
