One of the first things I do when learning/studying a new RPG, even a rules lite one is to make up a character. Thus, Kasra Voth came into existence, I also made up his alien race kind of on the fly, the Xaeksians, a race of humanoid aliens, from a stormy, cloud heavy moon, giving them the innate Talent of Night Vision.

Kasra is from the polluted, dark and storm clouded moon of
Xaeksa 4. He grew up in the urban underbelly of the moon’s main starport, and was
orphaned at an early age (his parents were allegedly Rebel sympathizers
and were taken away by Imperial Authorities never to be seen again). He turned to a life of crime to support
himself, and grew up hating the Imperials, his parents, and the Rebels. He was a decent enough thief, and outlaw, and
found he had a talent for fighting as well.
Working as an enforcer in the criminal underworld, he was on a job that
went sideways, that led to his capture by the authorities. Rather than face a
lifetime of working the mines, he ratted out some high-level criminal elements,
and in exchange was given a reduced sentence that allowed him to escape and
flee to the Black Star Sector. His deep fear
is that the Underworld elements that he betrayed will one day learn of his
betrayal and come to seek vengeance. He
spent time working as a soldier in a local baron’s garrison for a time, but
when the baron captured and was going to hand over Cyrha, a suspected
Resistance Operative to the Imperium, he found himself having a crisis of
conscious and helped Cyrha escape, now they have fled Baron’s forces and find
themselves out on their own, unlikely partners trying to survive.
Note- I'm considering using Wretched Space as Campaign Inspiration, Black Star has a "not" Star Wars vibe, which is cool, but I may end up using some of the options from the Wretched Space setting. May change this moving forward, we shall see...
Oh, and the image is AI art that I generated. I'm no artist, but I like having visual representations when I can.
