Sando, a Rodian smuggler and pirate, made her living in the Unknown Regions close to Volik.
Sando had a reputation for choosing vulnerable prey. She and her gang frequently boarded disabled vessels, repaired them, and then seized their goods as compensation. Additionally, they plundered abandoned smuggler outposts located within Volik's caves, as these locations were frequently left vacant following the expulsion or destruction of a smuggling organization by competing factions.
Sando and her crew sought the mask of Darth Nihilus, which was supposedly located within the debris of a Dynamic-class freighter known as the Nashuaga, which had crashed within Volik's canyons. During their search, they encountered several other groups who were also after the mask.
