About Enfys Nest

Behind the imposing skull-like mask and flowing cape of the Cloud-Riders’ leader lies a young woman driven by fierce determination to protect the innocent. Born during the twilight years of the Republic, Enfys Nest emerged as a formidable opponent to the criminal syndicates exploiting vulnerable communities across the galaxy’s outer rim territories.

Leading her band of mounted warriors on swift speeder bikes, she strikes fear into the hearts of those who profit from others’ suffering. The Cloud-Riders operate as modern-day pirates with a conscience, intercepting shipments of valuable resources before they can reach the crime lords who would use them to tighten their grip on desperate worlds. What initially appears to be mere banditry reveals itself as something far more noble—a grassroots resistance movement fighting back against systematic oppression.

During the coaxium heist on Savareen, her true motivations came to light when she removed her intimidating helmet to reveal her youth and idealism. Rather than seeking personal gain, she explained how the stolen hyperfuel would power ships carrying refugees to safety, far from the reach of those who would exploit them. Her encounter with Han Solo and his crew demonstrated that sometimes those branded as criminals are simply fighting for justice in a galaxy where the law serves only the powerful.

Though her methods may seem harsh, her ultimate goal remains clear: building a network of resistance that will eventually grow into something capable of challenging the Empire’s stranglehold on freedom.
