Unidentified hired pilot

A pilot was hired by the junk dealer Unkar Plutt to transport six of his men in a flyer to Carbon Ridge mountain on the desert planet Jakku during the childhood of the scavenger Rey after she arrived on Jakku in 16 ABY. Plutt hoped the group would find the mountain's supposed treasure, but instead they encountered the group known as the dead-enders at the mountain and lost two of their number to them in ambushes, although they killed several dead-enders in return. The survivors then searched Carbon Ridge and found only empty caves and rockslides, only bringing back a stack of stormtrooper armor to Plutt that was so brittle that the junk dealer threw it away. Rey later mentioned the pilot and incident in a survival guide that she had written by 34 ABY.
