Kan Pojo

Kan Pojo was a lieutenant in the Republic Navy before the Battle of Naboo. Pojo was an expert marksman, recognized as the fleet shooting champion with several weapons. He was also the arms instructor aboard the training ship Overt. Between 40 and 35 BBY, Pojo was sent to the Vergesso Asteroids on the Overt to take back a moon controlled by pirates. The Republic soldiers landed on the moon in its only city, and Pojo and his troops quickly scattered the pirates throughout. Pojo chased and cornered two unarmed pirates into an alley and, confident in his abilities, offered them a chance to attack him before he could fire on them. Though Pojo shot the first pirate when they charged at him, his blaster malfunctioned, and the other pirate fatally stabbed him.
