Blaine Hansom

**Blaine Thomas Hansom** was born to Tuck and Dinna Hansom on the agricultural outer-rim world of Zaralner. Growing up, his father's service station introduced Blaine to starships and freighter pilots and eventually his mentor, Wix Adders, who would take him onboard as a crewman of the *Jinxed Starhawk.* Adders was a smuggler of some notoriety and had a number of contacts with the rebel alliance, the Hutts, and Mon Calamari resistance groups - all contacts Blaine would later use once Wix retired and passed on the *Jinked Starhawk* to Blaine.

On one of Blaine's early travels on his own he ran into an Imperial patrol, damaging his ship and requiring him to make emergency repairs. He chose a nearby asteroid he knew was a rebel outpost and it was there he met Bota Zi, who became his partner for many years.

He would both meet new allies (like Genos Ia'danian, Talcoborro, Elayne Kuat and Tek Krodak) and rise in the ranks of the rebellion (participating in the battles of Hoth, Endor, Bakura, and Kashyyyk) until 6 ABY when he resigned his commission. In 6.5 ABY, he killed Zorba the Hutt and became the Baron Administrator of Cloud City and in 8 ABY, he and Elayne Kuat became parents of Baron "Barry" Hansom.

Blaine Hansom is tall, thin and has long sideburns. He has a scar of the Desilijic clan burned into the left side of his face and a bionic foot. He always wears his brown trench coat, an "=" belt buckle, and a smile. Charming and gregarious, Blaine would rather con or persuade an enemy than use weapons, but he always has his two heavy blasters ready at his sides.

Blaine spends most of his time on Cloud City, in meetings with guild leaders or the Exex, or with Elayne, Tek, or Tal, or hanging around his ships or in his casino, although he has recently found himself aiding the New Republic again.

## Related Characters

While Blaine isn't especially close to his father and the people he grew up with - as nearly all of them are involved with a secret Jensaarai sect, he has cultivated a large network of friends, allies and contacts on his own.

He still maintains a list of contacts in the New Republic including ex-girlfriend Reenia Har.

#### Talcoborro

The Wookiee Talcoborro has a life-debt with Blaine and occasionally his sister, Kaimitscoborro, will serve in this role if he needs to return to Kashyyyk.

Blaine has a penchant for befriending and trusting his droids. He dislikes memory wipes and treats his droids as valued members of his crew.

#### R3-B9

Purchased early on to help aboard the *Jinxed Starhawk* is R3-B9. Cocky to the point of arrogance, he routinely travels with Blaine, whether that's on the the *Starhawk*, *Cloud City Sabacc*, or Jabba's Space Cruiser.

#### Treadwell

Standoffish and disdainful of strangers, Treadwell generally stays to the *The Jinxed Starhawk* or in Blaine's docking bay on Cloud City. Sometimes he can be seen working with Tal, one of the few people he likes.

#### Mr. Green

Quiet and observant, Mr. Green keeps to himself and is generally found on Cloud City Sabacc or tidying up Blaine's quarters.

#### Mr. Blue

Mr. Blue is generally onboard *The Diversity*.

#### EG-212

He has a small cadre of Gamorreans on Cloud City as well, led by Talcoborro.

### Contacts

In his travels and work, he has made contacts with Talon Karrde, Corran Horn, Baron Soontir Fel, Booster and Mirax Terrik, Platt Okeefe, alongside the Heroes of Yavin. Recently, he has returned to the good graces of Gardulla the Hutt, who owes him a favor.

### Enemies

Blaine Hansom is persona non grata to the Desilijic Hutt Clan due to killing their leader, Zorba the Hutt and in 6 ABY was banished from entering Hutt Space. He has, however, made an ally with Gardulla the Hutt, who owes him a favor. Likewise, Blaine is friendly with Teemo the Hutt, who is of the Desilijiac clan, and he has asked Teemo if he could remove the ban.

Blaine is also in poor standing with Kuat of Kuat for his "kidnapping" of Elayne. On Cloud City, an Exex named Sal al'Kuat is also plotting against him. Toln ne Yerres also holds a grudge against him.

For a number of years he had a large bounty on his head from the Empire and is still wanted by various Imperial factions as of 10 ABY, even though he has not been an active member of the Rebel Alliance or New Republic since 6 ABY.

Tyber Zann and his criminal organization have targeted Blaine and the group in the past, often in ways that would annoy or agitate him without real malice.

## Properties

### On Cloud City

#### The Happy Failure

Located in the seedy Port Town district, The Happy Failure was acquired when Blaine took over Zorba's properties on Cloud City. Built out of a dilapidated freighter, this dive bar is currently managed by Jack Cronn.

#### The Holiday Towers

One of the most prestigious hotels on Cloud City, The Holiday Towers was has a history of belonging to criminals, from Blackhole McGrrrr, to Jabba and then his father Zorba. None of this was public and outwardly run by Toln ne Yerres for a number of years until Blaine seized control. Since then, Lobot has been installed as the director and Blaine has built a small office for himself in the casino area. Inside, there's the Blue Petal Bar, an additional office, and the casino.

As his main base of operations, Blaine Hansom works out of the Baron Administrator's Quarters in the Baron Administrator's Palace. He has a secret lift tube to access other areas of Cloud City and has IG-88 encased in carbonite as his desk.

Blaine also utilizes a Private Docking Bay on Cloud City to store his and his associate's ships and items.

### Elsewhere

#### The Garrison

On an unnamed planet lies the Garrison. Unobtrusive in its appearance, but it's a secure safehouse that can also house a space transport. While it hasn't been used much since Blaine took over Cloud City, it's a great safe house for the select members who know where it is.

#### Doonium Mining Facility

On Lok, Blaine is 1/4 the owner of a Doonium Mining Facility. It's currently operating at a rate of 20,000 credits per 3 missions split amongst the four owners.

## Starships

A gifted pilot and gambler, Blaine Hansom has managed to come out ahead in a number of deals, leading to amassing a small fleet of ships. These are generally docked on Cloud City unless indicated elsewhere.

### Starfighters

#### 3 Y-Wings

Blaine salvaged three BTL-S7 II Y-Wings from Lok. Elayne, working with Bespin Motors, repaired and modified these vessels. These are usually on Cloud City or being shuttled in *The Diversity*.

#### T-70 X-Wing

Part of their reward from Regamus, the rest of these that were sold are now apart of Cloud City's defense fleet.

### Space Transports

#### The Jinxed Starhawk

Blaine Hansom's pride and joy, and generally Blaine's starship of choice. The Jinxed Starhawk, a YT-1300 freighter is either docked on Cloud City or ferried around in Jabba's Space Cruiser's docking bay. If it's not transporting goods, it usually houses Blaine's three speederbikes in the cargo hold.
*Crew (2/1):* Blaine (pilot), R3-B9 (astrogation). Gunners (2/2): Tal, Elayne Kuat (Co-pilots and gunners)

#### Cloud City Sabacc

Won in a gambling on Kuat, Cloud City Sabacc was originally named the Golden Scyk and was a luxurious nobleman's yacht. Blaine's updated it to be more maneuverable in the atmosphere, which is helpful on Bespin, flying with the wing guard, and uses it on business trips as Baron Administrator. Inside, it has a fancy Mobquet A-1 Landspeeder.
*Crew (3/1):* Blaine (pilot), R3-B9 (astrogation), Tal and Elayne (Co-pilots and gunners)

#### Ghtroc Freighter

A new addition, this ship is in a very good condition without modifications.

### Capital Ships

#### Jabba's Space Cruiser

Lost, stolen, and won, Jabba's Space Cruiser (also known as *The Diversity*) is an oversized space transport with a large docking bay and hidden weapons. Blaine's made modifications so it's presentable and doesn't smell like hutt any longer. It's kept in good condition, if understaffed.
*Crew (3/3):* Blaine (pilot), Tal (co-pilot), R3-B9 (co-pilot/astrogator). Gunners (2/10): Mr Blue, Elayne Kuat
*Hangar (Starfighters 3/6, Shuttles 0/2):* 3 Y-Wings

#### The Tantive VI

Salvaged on Lok, *The Tantive VI* was repaired by Bespin Motors under the supervision of Elayne, which cost 720,000 credits before the additional modification were added. Originally from Alderaan's royal house, it originally held some data about areas that were scouted for rebel bases and outposts sometime before the battle of Yavin.

#### The Roulette

A stolen Imperial *Chi*-class Heavy Dropship purchased from Draxia Lunn on Couscant. Originally named *The Fractured Whip*, Tek changed the transponder to *The Roulette*. Modified by its prior owners, they added an astromech, hyperdrive and various slave ship redundancies. Inside is broken-apart juggernaut.

### Impounded on Cloud City

When Blaine seized control of Cloud City in 6 ABY, the hutts sent a bounty hunter task force to deal with Blaine Hansom and his friends. Among those were Bossk and IG-88. Bossk ended up imprisoned in the security tower until he was transferred to a New Republic penal facility, while IG-88 was frozen in carbonite and is currently used as Blaine Hansom's desk in his office.

As of 10 ABY, *The* *Hound’s Tooth* *(*with *The Nashtah Pup)* and *IG-2000* are still impounded on Cloud City under Blaine's orders.

## Vehicles

### On Cloud City

Blaine won an AAT in a game of sabbac, however it was located in the jungles of Yag'Dhul. He and his friends bested noted mercenary Nack Sotheby to claim it. In 10 ABY, he sold it for 51,000 credits.

#### Moqquet Speeder

He also has a Mobquet Speeder with the top was torn off. Blaine’s sanded it down, so it doesn’t look suspicious. Whereas one would normally get full cover, it’s been reduced to a quarter cover. Siv has never offered to repair it.

### Onboard Cloud City Sabacc

#### Luxury Landspeeder

Blaine keeps a fancy SoroSuub Landspeeder docked in *Cloud City Sabacc*, taking up most of the cargo capacity.
