Background:

Sebbik Rannob grew up in the floating metropolis of Radion, one of the many domed cities that orbit about the planet Duro, the polluted home planet of all his race, and though his childhood was typical for a duros of his age, that all changed when he learned of his ‘true’ parents at the age of seven, when he met them for the first time. Since birth, the only parents that Sebbik knew were those that had cared for him all his life. His father was a well-paid and respected government engineer, responsible for modifying starship cruisers to make them faster and more maneuverable while maintaining their structural integrity. His mother stayed home with himself and his two sisters, teaching Sebbik and his female siblings of the knowledge that would allow them all to lead productive, educated lives when they grew old enough to either enroll at a university or enter the government at eighteen. Sebbik’s age landed him squarely in the middle of the children, with younger Koora getting on his last nerve just as often as she charmed him into doing whatever she asked of him. Older Selena possessed a rare sort of humor that could be counted on to make things alright when squabbles arose, and Sebbik loved them both each in their own unique manner.

But Makai and Kiris Rannob were not Sebbik’s true parents, as he learned at very young age. They were his foster parents, and though his blood parents loved him as much as they would any normal child, their own lives were hardly ‘normal’ in any sense of the word. At the age of six months, young Sebbik had been delivered to Makai and Kiris by a robed Cerean who had a tiny babe in his arms. The Cerean was a Jedi Knight named Se-Bijk, after whom Sebbik had been named by his parents to honor their good friend. Though Sebbik had been born to his parents out of love, his birth was quite unexpected. Sebbik’s blood parents were named Kadlo and Lai Veeg, his father having been good friends with Makai during their early years, when Kadlo had been a government test pilot for many of the modified cruisers that Makai had designed. The two had parted ways some thirty years earlier, after Kadlo decided his job was not ‘exciting’ enough for him and he boarded a transport for one of the outer rim planets. Frequent communication between the two friends had kept them up-to-date on major life events, and in fact they had each served as the other’s ‘honored brother’ at their respective wedding ceremonies. Lai was a Jedi Knight, who had met Kadlo after he’d been hired to fly a sleek cruiser ship on a critical mission important to their order. The two had forged a strong friendship during the year-long mission, and soon after bonded their lives together, becoming a team that proved its worth many times over in the years thereafter, serving the Jedi Order in a variety of ways that Kadlo could not divulge with any detail to his long-time friend.

It was five years after Kadlo and Lai had been married, when Se-Bijk appeared on Makai’s doorstep with the babe in his arms and paperwork for a sizeable trust fund that would help care for the child. Kadlo had spoken with his old friend when Lai became pregnant with Sebbik. They had not meant for a child to come from their union for many years, after they had left the Jedi Order, in fact. Their marriage had been met with reservations ranging from mild to stern by their colleagues, for the Jedi Order quite nearly forbade their members to have family due to the strong emotional attachments that are formed, fearing such ties as ways in which a Jedi could be manipulated to act against the Order – or worse, to be pushed to the Dark Side. With Sebbik’s impending birth, they faced a most difficult choice, and in the end, Kadlo and Lai felt that their lives would be far too dangerous for their child, and so they sent Sebbik away to be raised by Makai and Kiris. He would not see them, nor even know that his parents were any other than those who raised him, for seven years. The truth was difficult for him to understand, but his parents truly loved him (as did his foster parents), which helped Sebbik come to terms with the idea in time.

Still, his parents visited when they could, and Sebbik loved them almost in the manner of a favorite aunt and uncle, though he knew the bond between them was much stronger than that. But how could he see them as his ‘true’ parents, when it was Makai and Kiris who had raised him nearly since birth? Then came the rise of Emperor Palpatine and the New Order, who branded the Jedi as traitors to the old Republic. The Jedi were hunted down across the galaxy and destroyed systematically. The fate of Kadlo and Lai was unknown entirely to Makai and his family. Sebbik was devastated, refusing to believe the hateful propaganda espoused by the Empire and knowing that the Jedi Order represented the true ‘good’ in the universe. And so it must be the Empire itself that was evil, given this belief on Sebbik’s part. A conviction he held strongly enough in his heart that he knew he must do something. Makai and Kiris understood this, and too they knew of the desire of so many Duros to leave their home planet to seek other places, as his sister Selena had already done more than four years prior in traveling away from home to attend one of the most prestigious universities in far-off Coruscant, taking on a job as a well-respected educator there soon after her graduation during the past year. But they knew as well that Sebbik would be headed for danger if he insisted on searching for his parents, one of whom was a known Jedi – a wanted fugitive of the Empire if she yet lived.

And so it was that Sebbik left home at the relatively young age of nineteen, giving his oft-time childhood nemesis Koora a tearful hug good-bye - which was returned with as much emotion as was given- as well as several more for his foster parents. He departed Radion with a decent amount of capital, what remained of his trust fund -now his after gaining legal age - and set out into the vast universe to find what happened to his parents. Hopping from world to world soon appealed to Sebbik’s innate sense of adventure, and he soon learned new skills to complement those he had developed during his formative years, becoming a fair pilot himself, as his father before him. But life in the cold universe was more difficult than his young mind could imagine, and Sebbik’s trust fund soon dried up as he bounced across the many worlds in search of his parents or any Jedi at all who might know of their whereabouts for nearly a year. He honed his computer skills over that time span, hacking into Imperial computers in the hope of finding information related to other Jedi or his parents. This often brought him the unwanted attention of the local authorities and the young duros always managed to stay one step ahead of them, usually by offering his services as a very fine and instinctive pilot to merchants and other less savory sorts in need of such to move their cargo and avoid blockades by flying through dangerous areas of space. Though Sebbik was happy to supplement his savings with such income, he never particularly enjoyed working with the dangerous gangsters (including the occasional Hutt) who traded in drugs and weapons (he strictly avoided transporting slaves), but did find an inner join in working with simple merchants who sought ways to avoid the overburdening tariffs and taxes imposed upon shipping goods in between worlds. Though he wouldn’t make much of a profit in these types of deals, Sebbik soon came to see himself as a crusader for the oppressed population that seemed to find themselves overlooked within the great cogs that ran the new Galactic Empire. A cruel and evil Empire that Sebbik has come to hate with every fiber of his being.

Sebbik is a lean and rangy duros (6'1", 73kg) with the usual greenish/grey skin devoid of hair and large, staring red eyes. Sebbik is quite young (20 years) and is normally clad in simple clothing. He carries a heavy blaster on his right hip and a smaller, sporting blaster concealed under his jacket as well as a utility belt. A rucksack holds his heavier gear.

Campaign Notes:

The briefing room aboard the Resurgence is clean and white, with
several benches wrapping smoothly around a holographic projector
seated on a raised dais in the center of the room. The projector
springs to life, and the blue-tinted hologram of a Hutt appears to
hover a few inches away from the projector’s three curved prongs.
With a brusque clearing of his throat, former Imperial officer Gilder
Varth begins to speak, wasting little time on pleasantries.
“Before the Empire decided my conscience was a liability,” he
says, “I was involved peripherally in a top-secret plan known as the
Sarlacc Project. While the details of the project are unknown to me,
I was involved in the transfer of large sums of credits and resources
to the project. Whatever the project entails, it is taking up a lot of
the Empire’s time and effort. Moreover, I believe that this Sarlacc
Project is destroying the lives of thousands of sentient beings;
casualty reports crossed my desk on a regular basis.
“Unfortunately, I don’t know much more than that. However,
during my brief brushes with the project, I discovered that the
Imperial Navy was hiding the program’s existence from the Senate
by transferring resources through secondary sources. Resources were
routed through the Corporate Sector, through fake contractors, and
through the criminal underworld to keep a trail from leading back to
the project.
“One such secondary source was a Hutt crime lord named
Darga. Like all Hutts, Darga is a slimy gangster whose love of credits
is exceeded only by his love of power. Part of my job involved
transferring resources to Darga, and in turn arranging for Imperial
agents to take control of other resources from the Hutt’s
organization. These were not simply transfers of credits. The items
being traded were not specified, but physical resources were
definitely being exchanged. Though it’s not much, this is the only
lead we have.
“Captain Verana has charged me with helping to uncover more
about the Sarlacc Project, and he has authorized me to use you as
my agents. We need you to travel to the planet of Cato Neimoidia
and find Darga the Hutt. See if you can learn what he is trading in
and how it relates to the Sarlacc Project.”
