Kalyn Farnmir

Kalyn Farnmir was a Human female member of the Kuati Security Forces who was framed by corrupt members of Kuat Drive Yards and dishonorably discharged as a result. She then became a bounty hunter, partnering up with the slicer Cian Shee and finding a regular place at the Outlander Club on the planet Coruscant. The two took down the High Priest of the Zealots of Psusan, Scri Oscuro, who planned revenge on Farnmir from prison. He was able to lure Shee to work with him though credits.

When Farnmir learned of the plot in 22 BBY, she was shaken and had to learn the truth for herself. She planned a meeting at the Outlander with Shee and arrived there first, interrogating cultist Nyrat Agira about the dealing. Agira was able to confirm the deal, verifying the bounty hunter's worst fears. When Shee arrived, the two embraced at the club's bar and sat together. When the two left, Farnmir tried to capture Shee, but she escaped and called off the deal with Oscuro. In the later years, Farnmir aided the Rebel Alliance while her former partner took up contracts for the Galactic Empire. When the slicer took in a contract to bring Farnmir in, they fought on the moon Nar Shaddaa, ending when Farnmir killed Shee.
