Ubese Sniper</p>
<p>[Spoiler omitted]</p>
<p>Background: Never been to Uba IV. Doesn't stop me being a true Ubese though. Member of Kettek Clan, maybe the last one off-world. Grudges die slowly with the Ubese. Well, they don't really die at all.</p>
<p>Those of the clan who lived away from the homeworld come together, once every ten years or so, for a grand hunt. To outsiders these seem like sedate affairs - Ubese aren't great talkers. But when the hunt's on, and the clan are moving as a single mind and a single body, it's a sight to behold.</p>
<p>I missed the grand hunt on Dressel two years back. Business elsewhere meant I couldn't get away. That's when the hunt ended up in a crossfire between the Empire and a smuggling ring. Star Destroyer flattened the smugglers' camp from orbit, and took out the whole hunt, who were in the same forest, at the time.</p>
<p>So I have no choice. The Empire goes onto the list. Signed up with the Rebellion on the condition that they could put high-ranking Imperials in my crosshairs.</p>
<p>Personality: Tight-lipped, secretive and bad with authority. His ability with his weapon and to remain motionless in camouflage for long periods has made him valuable to the Rebellion despite his discipline problems.</p>Vashh Lorimar
