STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
"Green for the good traits. Red For the nasty, no one needs to know about them traits."
STRENGTHS
+/ Best pilot this side of the galaxy.
No matter who she’s talking to this is her boast, she’s outrun Imperial starships, not the local bulk cruiser mind you, she means the big Corellian ships now.
Of course she knows talk is cheap and when it comes down to it this Kiffar is capable of flipping a YT through a needle hole two sizes too small.
+/ Andrasta shoots first.
She doesn’t wait for that bounty hunter to get a shot on her and then let off a shot in self defence…oh no she doesn’t! Andrasta ALWAYS shoots first and with the pinpoint accuracy that only years of ALWAYS shooting first can bring you…
Simply put: They can’t shoot you if their dead.
+/ I’ve been everywhere man, I’ve been everywhere.
Andrasta has seen the dark side and light side of every planet, moon and asteroid out there. Or at least rim-side anyway. If there is a way to it she’ll know it and any hidden shortcuts along the way.
+/ You know how I’ve got a guy for everything?
My suit guy, my shoe guy, my ticket guy, my club guy…and if I don’t have a guy for something I have a guy guy to get me a guy. Oddly enough, his name’s Guy…
Andrasta always seems to have a contact somewhere who knows something about something and somewhere to get there…somehow.
WEAKNESSES:
-/ So I have a little debt…
By a little she means a lot…and that means a large amount of people who want her knee caps smashed, her teeth broken or just to watch her dance while wearing nothing at all..either way somebody is always after her…always.
-/ Never tell me the odds
Andrasta is a gambler…a huge gambler. She’d gamble her own parents were they around. This attitude has gotten her into more trouble then it’s worth usually seeing her fall into the employment of people she’d rather not work for or take overly risky moves that put her life and others in danger.
-/I swear this time it’s real!
Andrasta lies. Not just little lies, but gargantuan, massive, world breaking lies. These go as far as convincing herself that what she says is true, at least…most of the time.
-/ It’s shiny and I want it.
If it could be worth something Andrasta will want it. She’ll do anything to get it and usually will not stop until she has it and realises she never really wanted it in the first place. If you place a rumour of something she will obsessively go after it until that item is in her hands…use this…to your advantage…or don’t, she’s probably already stolen your wallet.
-/ My Preciousss.
Touch her ship and you die. Pay out her ship and you die.
To see the worst case of: Creating an unhealthy relationship with your ship and how to live with it, see case A: Andrasta Sitra.
-/ PUNCH IT…bye…
Andrasta fails to really commit to anything apart from her own gain. She’ll shoot a best friend in the back if it saves her own skin or gets her rich…she really can’t be trusted and shouldn’t…ever.

THE LEGEND!
Otherwise known as the extravagant telling of recent events both real and dramatised
“So you want to know about Kiff do ya?”
A tired yet excited expression came across the old features of the Chiss smuggler sat before you.
“You’d be surprised at how many people come asking that question, the ol’ where did she go, usually followed by the where did she come from? Well, take a seat, grab a beer and let me start at the beginning.”
-Fortris Cohl, once partner of Andrasta Sitra and first mate of the Kestrel Star - 52ABY
It is said that Andrasta, as well known as she was started her life much as the rest of it was spent. Alone. Two stories circulate her origin both of which carry proof yet neither can be proven.
The first relates to the Sitra name which had for a hundred years carried within the honourable ranks of the Kiffar Guardians, a group of soldiers dedicated to the protection of their twin home planets and the surrounding system.
It is said that two such Guardians, whose names are unknown gave birth to a child and she was to be trained as they were in order to continue their dedicated legacy. However fate saw to it that both parents were killed by a roving band of slavers and young Andrasta was taken by them to be sold at the slave markets of Blandu Sextus.
This planet seems to be the joining factor in both versions as the other deals with the young Kiffar being abandoned at birth into the slaving houses before she was sent for profit thanks to her gender and good looks.
Blandu Sextus saw the first mention of Lellia, a Kiffar who housed an inert ability with her words and a talent within the cockpit of a ship. While Lellia would state her place among the group of pirates and outlaws she communed was a relationship created by her father the truth was more in the line of Andrasta’s purchase by the gang’s leader shortly after her arrival within the slave markets.
The Arsenic Troop as they were known haunted the space lanes of Tatooine, preying on the small passenger and cargo ships that passed through the less known paths towards the dessert planet.
While fame for the group increased during this time Lellia’s name remained rather unimportant, however key evidence increasingly indicates that she held some place of importance in the opinion of Jerek Lyes, the groups leader.
Jerek Lyes, Lellia and the rest of the Arsenic Troop were all sentenced to death by a local Hutt known as Durabba after they were discovered hitting Cartel convoys that were passing through his territory.
They were rounded up, tortured and each hung publicly for these crimes, all of them except for one certain Lellia who completely disappeared off the grid at this point.
What happened between her abandonment of ‘Lellia’ and Andrasta’s eventual reappearance as the infamous enforcer ‘Kiff’ is knowledge to only two souls in the galaxy, one of which is now dead the other, well we’re talking about her.
Durabba the Hutt, the same crime lord who had issued the order to hang the Arsenic Troop had started to carve out a small empire in Hutt space with the aid of his own personal mercenary force suitably dubbed the Bloody Reavers who were led by a Nikto known as Gark and his chief enforcer Kiff. The evidence that ‘Lellia’ had in fact survived the execution of her previous gang and somehow worked her way into and up the chain of the very Hutt who had done it was completely lacking and/or ignored by those around Andrasta at this time.
Kiff along with her Bloody Reavers experienced untold success over the three years that they served Durabba, each reaping in riches beyond their personal expectations. Yet with success came the pressures of fame, rival Hutt’s started to organise their own hits against the Reavers, bounties were listed and one by one the mercenaries began to disappear.
Put of by such plays of power Durabba turned his back on the group ordering them to all be killed and cleaned his hands of any dealings he may have had with them, and once again Andrasta disappeared into the unknown regions as her fellow soldiers scattered into the winds in fear for their own lives.
Kiff was dead by all intents and records for nearly two years.
Gallio, a pirate and con-man had managed to get control of the scattered remains of the Revears and had started his own mock war against Durabba. His advance however was short lived after he was confronted by the newest and most current identity of our Kiffar friend.
Andrasta Sitra personally brought down Gallio and with it scattered the Reavers back into the wilds of space. At the helm of the ‘Kestrel Star’ a YT-2400 which already held a reputation though out smuggling circles Andrasta turned and departed Hutt space and took to the ways of a freelance smuggler in order to get her credits.
Now we’re starting to get to the good bits, so why not get another drink and I’ll keep going.
Sometime within these few months Andrasta took a job for an artefact collector based within the Core. She failed the premise of the job, the artefacts she was meant to find were beyond even her abilities and in typical fashion she sunk to the lowest level she could and instead of completing the criteria of the job Andrasta took to stealing from the collector which led to a manhunt for the Kiffar that saw debt collectors as well as bounties placed on her like never before.
A strike of luck saw Andrasta fall into the arms of Dark Jedi Killian Quade and his hunt for the same artefact she too was after, an item that could lead her hopefully to treasure enough to clear her name and get her freedom in the galaxy.
The pair travelled the galaxy in search for the artefact, a search that took them deep into the centre of the galaxy itself. Within the bounds of the Star Dragons they found their prize. The twist came however when Andrasta, lured only by the soul purpose of using the artefact for her own gain abandoned Killian within the crumbling remains of the treasure trove.
She fled, disappearing into the craziness of Drifter’s Paradise where she became contacted by the owner Vaago the Hutt as one of his first agents.
Years passed and Andrasta worked her dues as she dodged bounty hunters and mercenaries sent her way, job after job eventually saw her become as reputable as the legendary ship she flew. It wasn’t long before Vaago took more interest in her and elevated the pirate into his inner-circle as a lieutenant of the Hutt Cartel.
I never knew this when I met her.
In fact all the way during what you’re about to hear I knew nothing of her being a Lieutenant in the biggest crime syndicate of our time. I found that out afterwards, when she was already gone…
…Anyway, I met her in a casino on Corellia, we had fallen into a trap set by a crime lord in order to gain our employment. Carn Traviss. He saw to it that we lost some games of cards and had no choice but to play to his tune. I became the first mate aboard the Kestrel and Andrasta and I…well we were inseparable.
We completed smugglings runs, transports, blackmail and even stole an Imperial cruiser at one point. Ha…They were the days. How I wish we had seen it sooner. The end that is. We had been contracted by Carn to deliver a shipment of spice to a Hutt in return for a prisoner which we would then return to Corellia…naturally we had been had, the prisoner was a Republic agent who bought the attention of the Imperials and next thing we know Carn’s ship was under attack and we were fleeing for our lives.
Andrasta dealt with Carn as she always did, a blaster to the forehead and we managed to get out just as the cruiser exploded, leaving us in the Kestrel and under fire from two Imperial Star Destroyers. Oh yeah and the black hole…I forgot, there was a whopping big black hole. We took damage, way to much damage. She tricked me into going to check the hatch and then sealed me in the escape pod…damn witch shot me out of that YT moments before it exploded and scattered through that black mass…
That was the last I ever saw of her, yet somehow…I know she’s still out there somewhere…I just know it.
