Tak Rennod

Tak Rennod was a legendary dread pirate captain who went down in history as the most infamous pirate in the galaxy by the New Republic Era. Obsessed with finding the planet At Attin, which allegedly yielded infinite supplies of Old Republic credits, Rennod roamed space aboard the Onyx Cinder along with his crew and pirate droid SM-33, seeking to discover the isolated world. Suspecting an imminent mutiny, the captain preemptively locked his crew members out of the controls, causing them to die during the crash landing on At Attin after he was betrayed by his first mate and fatally stabbed by his concubine.

Remembered as the most infamous pirate, Tak Rennod was integral to pirate lore, with his name figuring prominently in mild expletives and pirate songs. Around 9 ABY, Captain Silvo and the four youthful Skeleton Crew members sought to reconstruct Rennod's route to At Attin. Having visited the deceased pirate's lair, Silvo promised a crew he had once led to take them to At Attin, while the Skeleton Crew younglings prepared to use Rennod's coordinates on their own to make their way back to their homeworld.
