Times have been tough for Vette. The quirky, bubbly and, at times, random Twi'lek has faced some harsh obstacles in her life. Born as a slave on the Twi'lek homeworld of Ryloth, Vette was separated from her family at a very early age, sold from minor crimelord to crimelord. This bouncing around stopped when a pirate going by the name of Nok Drayen destroyed her owner's holdings and Vette, along with the other slaves, were given a choice: to have their freedom or to join up with Nok and become a pirate. Vette signed on with Nok over personal freedom and became a pirate, traveling from world to world and learning many of her skills in the process, especially how to get in and out of places undetected -- places she otherwise wouldn't be allowed into.

Her time as a pirate didn't last, however, as Nok Drayen, years later, suddenly and inexplicably released everyone from his service. Vette was left to her own devices on the smuggler's moon of Nar Shaddaa, where she and other young Twi'leks used their ingenuity to rob and deceive those who would take advantage of them. Her mischief eventually led her to Korriban, where she first appears in her role as a companion character in Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Vette is one of the confirmed companion characters for those who choose the Sith Warrior class. The Sith Warrior is given access to Vette as a sort of collateral for a task that is assigned to them. Vette is also said to be a potential romance option for Sith Warriors, too. Vette's fate, as well as her abilities and appearance, is up to the players. Will this spunky Twi'lek rebel against the Sith Warrior? Or will she fall, becoming a thrall to power and the insidious dark side?
