Character Close-up: Kaaz

Kaaz comes from one of the roughest places in the Conglomerate, the moon world of Vay. Vay is not known for being a particularly hospitable place, or a good place to raise children, for that matter. Toxic air, a chaotic day-night cycle, and a corrupt system of mafia-like bosses that run the show.

Kaaz grew up as an orphan on that world. And by all accounts, she should have been swallowed up by it a long time ago. But she persisted, and fought her way to where she is now, gaining the respect of one of Vay's most influential Kingpins, Mama Lulu.

Once she was given the chance, Kaaz started turning Vay upside down. Making bosses cooperate with one another. Ending the cycle of infighting and feuds that would tear them apart from the inside. Trying to make something of the little moon that no one else cared about.

But Kaaz's weakness is her principles. There are things she's not willing to do that her peers are happy to take advantage of.  She doesn't mind killing or drug smuggling or intimidation as a means of enriching the Syndicate. But kids are off-limits, something the other bosses don't share the same feelings for.

So long as Kaaz has Mama Lulu to back her up and the other Kingpins don't see her as a threat, there's nothing the other bosses can do to her. Or is there?
