[Jedi Minstrel]

Captain Lu-Shen-Kai, owner of the Hornet's Sting, was just trying to lead a normal life.  Crewed on the Hornet's Sting as a young man and was able to purchase the ship when the previous owner retired and wanted the ship to go to someone that would take care of it.  Towards the end of the Clone Wars, he came across a young man hidden in his hold.  This man was the sole survivor of his clone trooper unit.  Taking pity on Ty, Lu took him to some friends in the Outer Rim.  There Ty was able to start on a new life.  Upon the issuance of Order 66, Jedi survivors found Hornet's Sting berthed on Utod II.  The crew urged the captain to reconsider helping the Jedi but Lu felt compelled to help as he remembered the Jedi that have helped him over the years.  "Boys, I think we'll be taking detours on certain occasions", he told his crew.

Every ship needs a good pilot.  Lavine Traveau was the pilot for the Hornet's Sting.  He could think of doing nothing else but flying while growing up on Corellia.  As the main pilot, Traveau often helped Bhur Falconcrest, ships engineer, in repairs and maintenance without question.  Upon Lu-Shen-Kai's acceptance of various "passengers", Traveau was adamant about not helping the stowaways but he, too remembered the Jedi that helped the Hornet's Sting in their time of need.  "I guess if we have to...", he told his captain.

Bhur Falconcrest was a modest man who enjoyed challenges and keeping a ship running is plenty challenge for anyone.  Hornet's Sting, like any other hauler, has come across it's share of "out-of-the-ordinary" situations.  But the biggest challenge he saw was the time the found a clone deserter in the cargo hold and soon after, the Jedi.  "Life will be very interesting, now", he told himself upon reflection.

After years of fighting a personal war with bandits on his homeworld of Dressel, Xandar Ricci became frustrated with his worlds lack of a strong central government.  He was finding revenge for the death of his family but found that there was nothing for him on Dressel any longer and left aboard Hornet's Sting.  On board in the cargo hold was a clone deserter.  Ricci witnessed the situation and asked to come along for the ride.  "I need a little direction in my life."

Chirka to his friends, Rrrwgrirchircca was onboard a Trandoshan slave ship berthed near Hornet's Sting.  Captain Lu-Shen-Kai's conscience wouldn't allow the Trandoshans to leave with their "cargo."  Along with some others, Chirka was free to return home.  Chirka didn't take the opportunity but instead offered to crew on Hornet's Sting to repay Captain Lu-Shen-Kai.  "My life is now to be in service of an honorable being.  Few would hold anything else higher", Chirka told Captain Lu-Shen-Kai.

Nice work!

Here are some customs based on the Old Republic.  Some time after Darth Revan.  This is their background story:

Wen Nisan was an empathic and higly intelligent Jedi but was also impulsive and somewhat mischievous. She was a good leader and a skilled tactitian and her quick thinking earned her the respect of many Clar'stilyo warriors during the tuushan incident.

With a laid-back and accepting outlook on life, Sep Nisan took to his duties with enthusiasm, often sporting a wide smile when events went his way.  His cynical dry sense of humor and confidence aided him in much of dealings.

Forgot one last part for the Nisan's:

Over the last few decades, the order has been in debate over the fraternization of it's members.  Less and less jedi seek companionship as many find dedication to the force as a more acceptable means of finding peace.  The Nisan are one of the last family of Jedi.

Very nice! Sep looks cool.

Some nice work there, Joe!  I went ahead and merged your two customs threads into one so that they'd be easier to follow.

[Jedi Minstrel]

Thanks Phatty

These customs are ones that have aided Captain Lu-Shen-Kai. 

Yah'chi Corva maybe a Jedi hunter but he finds them only to lead them on to a secret escape route with the help of Captain Lu-Shen-Kai.  Yah'chi Corva does this in hopes of finding a long lost brother that happens to be a Jedi.  They were separated when they were only 5 and 10 years old. 

Shan Krix, adventurer and occasional bounty hunter, was saved by a Jedi even as he was about to take that same Jedi in for the bounty.  To repay the Jedi, Krix swore to help bring other Jedi to Captain Lu-Shen-Kai.  He is accompanied by his faithful astromech, Droc (not a custom, yet but a cool sidekick for a bounty hunter to have).
