Knotts

Knotts was a male human from the Core Worlds. In 29 BBY, he relocated to the planet of Lantillies. He established himself as a middleman, bringing clients in want of goods or services together with freelance spacers, taking a credit percentage on each transaction.

During the Clone Wars, Knotts worked a subcontractor for Republic Intelligence, operating under the supervision of Dodd Rancit. He was responsible for the secret transport of weapons and other useful materials to resistance groups, trained by station chief Berch Teller, that operated on worlds occupied by the enemy Confederacy of Independent Systems, including Antar 4. Like Teller, Knotts was horrified by the Galactic Empire's brutal "Antar Atrocity," which claimed the lives of many Koorivar and Gotal loyalists.

During the Imperial Era, Knotts joined a group of resistance fighters led by Teller, who was secretly assisted by Vice Admiral Rancit. After stealing Moff Wilhuff Tarkin's personal starship Carrion Spike, Teller and his followers raided several Imperial facilities in 14 BBY. Knott's involvement in Teller's campaign was uncovered by Tarkin following a major hyperspace accident in the Obroa-skai system, that had been instigated by Teller's insurgents to throw Tarkin and Darth Vader off their trail. Following the Battle near the Gulf of Tatooine, Knotts and several of Teller's followers were captured and quietly executed.
