Dalan Saund

Human – Cyborg Relations

Dalan has 15+ years of experience as an award-winning broadcaster, musician and filmmaker. He’s worked in marketing, but please don’t hold that against him. He’s trying to do better.

Born on the tropical resort planet of Niamos, Dalan and his partner Kit set out to build a life for themselves amongst the stars. After the events aboard the Halcyon, they chose to settle on Batuu, where they remain willingly to this day. They did not crash-land and are not stranded (Dalan is wanting to strongly emphasize this point for some reason).

Dalan has never smuggled anything in his life, or at least he’s smart enough not to put it in writing.
