Roget Jiriss was a Human female and one of the most successful smugglers in the early years of the New Republic. Brash and confident, Jiriss had an intense hatred of all pirates. She always delivered cargo on time when agreeing to a job, and her high delivery rate came with correspondingly high fees. During the Galactic Civil War, Jiriss's underworld contacts within several large crime syndicates proved an excellent source of information for the Rebel Alliance. By 10 ABY, the Galactic Empire had charged Jiriss with several smuggling-related criminal offenses.
