Maliss was a Dashade pirate who collaborated with Sorath. These two Dashades were employed as participants in Grand Admiral Balanhai Savit's plot to pilfer essential parts before their arrival at Project Stardust. Operating from a mobile way station that warped to diverse star systems, Maliss and Sorath, accompanied by their team, intercepted hijacked starships near the Kurost transfer point to seize their valuable freight. Tragically, the Grysks launched an assault on their station, resulting in Maliss's death.
