*Caij Vanda was a Nautolan female bounty hunter who was active during the Imperial Era.

After tracking the Jedi Knight Cal Kestis to Koboh, she deceived him by posing as a former bounty hunter who wanted to get revenge on the Haxion Brood syndicate. By tricking Kestis and Brood hunters into fighting each other—which inevitably resulted in the death of every hunter sent after the Jedi—Vanda drove Kestis's bounty up to a price she found acceptable, before attempting to claim the bounty herself. However, she underestimated Kestis, who eventually worked to subdue her with the help of fellow bounty hunter Boba Fett, who took Vanda captive.

A Nautolan female, Caij Vanda was born at some point prior to 9 BBY. She eventually became a successful bounty hunter that came into the employ of Sorc Tormo—leader of the Haxion Brood—by claiming a bounty on one of Tormo's hitmen, before defeating the hunters that were subsequently sent after her in retaliation.

Caij Vanda had green skin and dark, relatively featureless eyes. As a Nautolan, she was naturally aquatic and capable of breathing underwater, and had head tendrils capable of detecting pheromones and other chemicals.

Vanda was a no-nonsense bounty hunter who used her devious intelligence to further her wealth and reputation. She was cunning, treacherous, and not in the business of making friends, attempting to sell out Cal Kestis when the time and price were right, despite putting on a friendly front to him beforehand. Vanda saw her relationship with Cal as an investment, but poured scorn on the idea that he put his friends first, saying that attitude would get him killed.

She enjoyed the thrill of bounty hunting, claiming to Cal Kestis that the thrill was "what she lived for." Vanda also believed firmly in making eye-catching and stylish entrances, as once she procured her jet boots, the jobs "came pouring in." Her wide-brimmed hat was taken from her first target, thus holding sentimental value for her.

Unlike some of her contemporaries, like Boba Fett and Cad Bane, Caij Vanda kept her arsenal relatively light. She utilized rocket boots to achieve flight, rather than the more typical jetpacks used by Boba and his father, Jango. Vanda wielded two high-powered blaster pistols with electrified bayonets that were capable of deflecting lightsaber blades. For desperate situations, Vanda also kept at least one thermal detonator on her.*
