Nix was a merqaal companion of Kay Vess during the Imperial Era.
Biography[]
Nix was the name given to a merqaal alive during the Imperial Era. He was the companion of Kay Vess,[1] a criminal who lived on the planet Cantonica.[4] For Nix and Vess, every day was a struggle for survival.[5] Nix joined Vess on her journey across the criminal underworld[4] in 3 ABY[6] to steal from the Zerek Besh syndicate.[4]
Personality and traits[]
Nix was close to Vess; she was his motivation, his best friend, his only family, and as such, he protected her fiercely. Where she went, Nix went. While Nix appeared "cute," he could turn feral and vicious when he needed to be. Often, Nix's mood reflected Vess'.[5]
Powers and abilities[]
Nix could activate switches or buttons, distract guards, and even grab weapons to bring back to Vess.[7]
Behind the scenes[]
Nix is voiced by Dee Bradley Baker in the 2024 video game Star Wars Outlaws. The script for Nix consisted of lines such as "curious squeak" and "relaxed chirp." Baker was allowed to interpret these lines when providing sound effects.[5] Nix was first revealed in the game's trailer.[3] Throughout the game, Nix serves as Kay Viess's companion, joining her on her quest to steal from the Zerek Besh syndicate and survive in the criminal underworld. Due to Outlaws's nature as an open world game, the player does not need to experience every interaction possible with Nix to complete the game's story.[4]
