Kira Venn

Species: Mirialan (green-skinned, gold facial tattoos)
Age: Mid-40s
Occupation: Chief Engineer & Owner, Brightstar Shipworks
Alignment: Neutral Good (pragmatic, but fair)
Personality: Sharp, practical, slightly gruff; hides a dry sense of humor under her work-first demeanor

Kira Venn stands about 5’8”, with wiry strength earned from decades working shipside. Her green skin is marked with symmetrical gold tattoos across her forehead and cheeks. She usually wears a stained engineering jumpsuit with a half-clipped toolbelt, plasma torch holstered on one side, and a datapad always within reach.
A former Republic fleet engineer, Kira retired from military service and settled on Keryndal to build up Brightstar Shipworks. She’s built a reputation for running the most reliable (if somewhat chaotic) repair yard on Firstlight Station, balancing official Republic contracts with the occasional under-the-table deal for smugglers, bounty hunters, or mercenaries — as long as they pay on time and don’t bring trouble through her doors.
