Clone Wars Campaign: Kylo-Vas, Small Group Dynamicist

Early on when the characters encountered the Sun Runners, one of the interesting wrinkles was the presence of Kylo-Vas, a Cerean female. Kylo-Vas was usually with the Sun Runners but didn't seem to belong--that is, she seemed to be recording everything they did and often interviewing them. Although it didn't come out in the game, Kylo-Vas was a "small group dynamicist" (a made-up name for a scholar who studies behavior and interaction at a micro-organizational level) from a major Cerean university. She used her family's great wealth to convince Jocasta to let her come along with the Sun Runners on many of their missions in order to gain fodder for her research. However, even academic pursuits can be deadly--Kylo-Vas died during the Separaist invasion of Duro, as detailed in the Last Voyage of the Sun Runner story.

Although she didn't have much of a role in the campaign, I thought she was a good example to the players of how a non-combat oriented character could be a member of an adventuring group.
