Greez Dritus

Greez Dritus was a Latero male who lived during the end of the Galactic Republic and into the Imperial Era. He was captain of the Stinger Mantis, a luxury yacht with controls customized for piloting with his four arms. The former Jedi Cere Junda, on a personal mission to rebuild the Jedi Order, hired him as her pilot and part-time cook. While traveling with Junda, his bad gambling habit got him into trouble with the Haxion Brood crime syndicate.

In 14 BBY, Dritus flew Junda to Bracca after learning the Inquisitorius was on the way there. They arrived in time to rescue former Padawan Cal Kestis from the Second Sister, then proceeded to Bogano, where they added BD-1 to their crew and learned Junda's Jedi Master Eno Cordova had hidden a holocron containing details of Force-sensitives across the galaxy. They also picked up a "stowaway" —actually a bogling—who Dritus was determined to uncover and eject from his starship.

While Kestis was on Zeffo as part of his search, Haxion Brood bounty hunters captured him in part because of his association with Dritus, and forced the Jedi to fight in an arena. Dritus apologized for how his actions impacted Kestis and Junda. After Kestis went back to Dathomir, the Nightsister Merrin, whom Dritus regarded as a witch due to her magick, joined them. Over time, the crew became a family.

After losing an arm to the Fifth Brother on Murkhana, Greez leaves the Mantis Crew when they separate. He later buys the Pyloon's Saloon on Koboh and settles there. After reuniting with Kestis, he is recruited by Cal to fly to the hidden planet Tanalorr in the Koboh Abyss nebula.
