Beol De'Rruyet

Beol De'Rruyet was a human male who was the founder of De'Rruyet Industries, operating from the planet Midarr. During the Imperial Era, De'Rruyet acquired a Path engine, an ancient Nihil hyperdrive that De'Rruyet claimed he was able to replicate, revolutionizing lightspeed travel. Due to the resulting effect on the economy that such technology would make, Domina Tagge of the House of Tagge wished to prevent De'Rruyet from releasing the device, recruiting the rogue archaeologist Doctor Chelli Aphra to investigate the Path engine and verify De'Rruyet's claims.

However, De'Rruyet and his company were unable to create a functioning replica of the Path engine; despite his lack of success, De'Rruyet intended to unveil the device and give the impression that it worked. He was unaware of the danger it posed if it was activated, but made plans to run away with his money in the event that the Path engine did not live up to his claims. On the day before the expo was set to occur, De'Rruyet's headquarters was attacked by General Vukorah of the Unbroken Clan, who wished to acquire the Path engine.
