Hanno, 32

“He says he's only in it for the money and the fastest ship in the galaxy. He's lying, and his crooked grin knows it.”

Hanno is a smuggler and freighter captain working the lawless edge of a galaxy under the boot of grey-uniformed admirals and white-armoured troopers. His battered saucer-shaped freighter is, he swears, the fastest ship in the galaxy, usually right before something falls off it, and his co-pilot is a seven-foot furry giant who growls instead of talking. Lean and cocky, with tousled brown hair, a crooked grin and a heavy pistol slung low on his hip, he owes a fortune to a slug-like crime lord, claims he is only in it for the money and keeps siding with the rebels anyway. You have just signed on as his newest crew hand, and he is already pretending not to like you.
