- Jacen Wayland and Obi-Wan Kenobi argue philosophy L'uther vandross Jacen Wayland was a smuggler and occasional pirate (hey, who hasn't had a bad month or two?) who operated between the Corellian System and the Outer Rim, piloting a customized YT-1930 freighter named the MidKnight Son or a heavily-modified HLAF-500 called the Stalker. He was known to work for the Rebel Alliance at times (i.e. when they could afford his services), but he could never manage to take either side seriously enough to throw his allegiance behind them completely. For weaponry, he was known to prefer a scoped SSK-7 heavy blaster pistol and a rare KX-80 Repeating Blaster Rifle. Though he displayed a certain amount of Force-sensitivity, he never received any training in its use, and was for the most part unaware of his gifts, knowing only that things sometimes had a way for falling into place for him, an advantage that seems to be disproportionately common among Corellian smugglers (see Han Solo). He could nearly always be found with one of the members of a group of freelance spacers he regularly finds employment with, including the Barabel bounty hunter, Miyr Kosshe, Wayland's Mon Cal co-pilot, Barak Quall, a young Tatooinian pilot named Taran Allantis, and a pair of minor, fugitive Jedi: the Alderaanian Jesko Balta and his pupil, Lara Haddon, a human born in the Rishi system.

Despite his unwillingness to commit to the |Rebel Alliance during the |Galactic Civil War, Wayland profited considerably by becoming one of the first |free traders to sign a contract providing shipping for the fledgling [starwars.wikia.com/New_Republic|New Republic]]. By getting in on the ground floor, he managed to negotiate a pair of ships into his asking price, arguing that they would enable him to perform his contracted services more efficiently. While the Mon Cal star cruiser that he had his eye on was deemed off-limits, he managed to add a |Sentinel-class landing craft, called the ''Krak'jya, and a |GR-75 transport named the Space Slug, in honor of the craft's less-than-blazing speed. Wayland continued to expand his fleet, and while he had primarily become a semi-respectable shipping captain, he still dabbled in privateer work, harassing |Imperial Remnant ships whenever he could. By the time of the |Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Jacen Wayland was commanding a small privateer fleet, with a |Consular-class space cruiser (the Red Baron), a |DP-20 gunship (the Overkill), two |CR90 corvettes (the Ringer and the Ranger), 6 |T-65 X-wing starfighters, and 6 modified CloakShape fighters added to the other ships (the MidKnight Son, Stalker, Krak'jya, and Space Slug) already in his service.
