Hidden Vendor titles... the Asian text tattoo of Defiance?

[Shada Mori]

So I was pondering this tonight... for those that don't know, two of the hidden vendors in the game have titles you can buy on them.. those titles being ..

Chango
Yelanda Nanggo

.. okay.. groovy sounding.. but what do they mean? The vendor doesn't say. It rather reminds me of Westerners getting Asian tattoos and hoping they say what the artist, who usually got them out of a shoddy translation book .. actually say what they say. For all we know Chango means gentleman's sausage in Casti, and Yelanda Nanggo is Irath for dumb a** human. Or hell, a developers name. What do they meeeean?!

Well IIRC Chango was used by Datak in the first episode of Defiance. It was around the time Rafe threatened Alak, Datak says something like I'm gonna gather up some chango and pay rafe a call.

Brought them. Never used them.

I think chango is muscle. In the episode recap at the start of the second episode they rephrase his line to say "muscle" instead of chango. Just a guess though.

In that data recorder where Cass repays some debt she calls the guy a Nanggo, doesn't she? I can't imagine it's a flattering word.

well .. for all we know - being Nanggo could be bad thing, but being known for the unbeatable Yelanda of your Nanggo could be totally different .

Yes i do believe Chango refers to hired muscle, mercenary, gun for money etc as Rosa said Echelon chango.

Yelando Nanngo appears to an insult kind of like bastard, one that people sometime call themselves.
