Jarik

"Skoot" Jarik was an educated Human male droid engineer who unsuccessfully attempted to earn a living first as a droid technician, and then an information broker on his Outer Rim homeworld of Biewa. Eventually finding himself nearly destitute, Jarik used his skills as a droid slicer to illegally modify a droid for a smuggler. Soon afterward, word of his abilities spread, and Jarik had a profitable business as an outlaw tech.

Sometime later, Jarik relocated to the shadowport StarForge Station, where he was one of a select few individuals who specialized in droid modification. Jarik's workmanship developed a reputation as being reliable, and he was a favorite among smugglers who were owners of droids. At some point, StarForge was subject to an Imperial raid, and the evidence implicated Jarik as the informant. To aid him in clearing his name and uncovering the true traitor, Jarik offered his services to a group of recent arrivals to the space station.
