History: Anastasia Nova was born a nobody. A slave of the Hutt Cartels, she was born and raised to work the tables, and if she ended up pretty enough, work in client relations as the other girls called it. Anastasia was excellent at the first with a keen grasp on money and how to cheat people out of it, but she had no intention of the latter career path. She saved up every credit she could, every scrap of bargaining power that she could find and when the first opportunity came, she bought her freedom. She took a job on a traveling casino ship, putting her skills to work across the galaxy, and in that time, she began to see a new business opportunity.
Criminal activities were never a mystery to Anastasia. She grew up in the employ of the Hutts after all, but she had never directly taken part in them. That was, until, she began to broker information during her travels. Gambling addicts who needed just one more roll were willing to give up almost anything for a chance to save their fortunes, and Anastasia gave them that chance. She learned business insights, corporate take over strategies and coming fluctuations in markets across the galaxy. She moved her money, taking advantage of all she was learning, and began to build from there.
Accumulating countless business contacts and favors, Anastasia ended her contract with the casino ship and went to work for herself. Forming a small company calling itself the Veiled Hand, Anastasia and her associates began to spread their reach across the galaxy, buying and selling the most valuable commodity around. Information. The organization grew, but one day they took a bad gamble, and came to the attention of a small group calling themselves the Nightfall Syndicate. Using everything she had at her disposal, Anastasia worked out a truce with the syndicate, and with a few well placed bribes and assassination orders, the Veiled Hand and Nightfall Syndicate became a united organization.
Now, sitting at the head of the newly formed joint organization, Anastasia is looking to establish herself as a power in the criminal underworld.
