Dresk Kist was a Slith of the female persuasion, identifiable by the dark stripes that adorned her scales.
Around the time of 0 ABY, Dresk Kist, a female Slith, had been the shaman for her clan for half a dozen seasons. Her duties as shaman included communicating with other Slith clans, connecting with the spirits of her ancestors who had passed away, and the desert gods that the Slith revered. Kist also held the position of First Mate to the clan's alpha male, giving her power over the other females and younger members of the clan. She was also a hunter, providing food while others rested, which was an uncommon combination for shamans, but Kist thrived in both roles.
Kist encountered a negotiating group from the Alliance to Restore the Republic, who were exploring the moon in search of a place to establish a base.
