Corwin Ballast

Corwin Ballast was a male native of the Outer Rim world Mordal who lived on the world with his wife, Lynnta, and his daughter. In 4 ABY, Ballast and his family became trapped in a firefight between rebels and Imperial forces. He and Lynnta attempted to rescue their daughter, who had become immobilized amidst the fighting. However, by the end of the ensuing fighting, Ballast's wife and daughter had been killed.

Wanting to bring the memories of his family somewhere war would never reach, Ballast traveled to the planet Jakku and settled there. He became a bartender at Ergel's Bar, a local establishment. In 5 ABY, Ballast met the travelers Rae Sloane and Brentin Wexley while working in the bar, unenthused by the former's request for information. Super Star Destroyers arrived in Jakku's atmosphere during their meeting, deeply saddening Ballast.
