Paodok'Draba'Takat Sap'De'Rekti Nik'Linke'Ti' Ki'Vef'Nik'NeSevef'Li'Kek

Paodok'Draba'Takat Sap'De'Rekti Nik'Linke'Ti' Ki'Vef'Nik'NeSevef'Li'Kek, also known as Paodok'Draba'Takat for short—and to most as Pao—was a male Drabatan who was born on the Outer Rim planet of Pipada in 31 BBY. During the Imperial Era, he would leave his homeworld and his dream of becoming an engineer behind after the Galactic Empire invaded the planet for resources to improve the Imperial Military.

Sometime after leaving his homeworld, he joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic to fight the Empire, eventually reaching the rank of corporal in the Rebel Alliance Special Forces. Pao took part in a demolition job to destroy a communications tower on the astronomical object of Foerost for the Alliance. The skills he used in that demolition job later assisted his placement of charges during the Battle of Scarif—a turning point for the Rebel Alliance in the Galactic Civil War.

In 1 BBY, Pao was among those who volunteered to join Rogue One, a ragtag team of rebels who looked to retrieve the plans for the superweapon known as the Death Star from the Imperial Center of Military Research on Scarif, despite not receiving sanctioning from Alliance High Command. Upon arriving on the planet, Captain Cassian Andor—the leader of the mission—assigned Pao to the main squad alongside Sergeant Ruescott Melshi and two former members of the Guardians of the Whills, Baze Malbus and Chirrut Îmwe. Pao helped cause a distraction to draw the stormtrooper garrison's attention with multiple other soldiers while fellow rebels Andor, Jyn Erso, and K-2SO snuck into the Citadel Tower and obtained the plans. Pao was killed before death troopers were deployed to the battlefield.
