This is the thread in which I will occasionally post NPCs from my Star Wars campaign. More information can be found here, where I first proposed this idea. For now at least, I will keep all the NPCs within this one thread, rather than giving each character a thread of his/her/its own. Maybe later if this proves successful enough, I may start to spread them out into more threads.

Kerrithrarr the Wookiee, like many of his kind, was a slave. From the time his home world was conquered and the Wookiees forced into slavery, he bounced from one owner to another, usually being pressed into hard labor. Eventually, he fell into the possession of an Imperial lieutenant named Iaco Drase, a member of the bridge crew on the Nebulon-B Frigate Merciless. Lieutenant Drase saw that, unlike many Wookiees, the long years of servitude had not broken this slave's spirit. He could tell that Kerrithrarr wanted nothing more than to kill him and regain freedom. So Drase decided to take advantage of the Wookiee's fighting spirit, as well as his prowess in the Wookiee fighting style Wruushi. Drase began entering Kerrithrarr into underground fighting tournaments whenever he could get shore leave time from his post. Eventually, Drase heard about a high-stakes competition on the planet Tatooine, home of the crimelord Jabba the Hutt. Drase entered his slave into the tournament, confident that Kerrithrarr would prove victorious. So confident was Drase that, in addition to paying the 5,000 credit entry fee out of his own pocket (a substantial sum on officer's salary), but also gambled six months' salary on the fight, reinvesting the whole amount in every match. Kerrithrarr fought hard, making it to the top eight in the tournament, but was defeated in the fourth round by Fynn Kether. Drase, his winnings down the drain in the blink of an eye, could not contain his fury. After the match, he beat Kerrithrarr within an inch of his life. But Kerrithrarr's cries of pain attracted attention. He was rescued by a fellow Wookiee named Liaklanna and her associates Torin Koon and Karas. Lt. Drase met a painful death being crushed underneath an iron door. Kerrithrarr pledged a life-debt to protect Liaklanna and her friends. Upon gaining freedom, Kerrithrarr will join the Rebel Alliance, where his talents will lead him quickly to a position in Alliance High Command. When Emperor Palpatine is killed at the Battle of Endor and the Treaty of the New Republic is signed, Kerrithrarr will sign the treaty as a representative of the Wookiee people, and will serve his people proudly and faithfully as the New Republic's senator from Kashyyyk. And he will not forget his friends, to whom he owes his freedom and his life.

(He wasn't talking to you, Rude.)
I'll get Ozrei up there eventually, right now I actually don't have a lot of background developed for him, or any stats. He was a spur-of-the-moment guy, and I haven't thought too much into his past yet. But when I do (and I will) I'll be sure to post it here.
Dyyz Nataz is somebody I need to learn more about. He's only appeared in a couple places, so there's not a lot I've got to tell you. I'll tell you what I can right now, and make up some more stuff later if he ever shows up in the story.
So, Dyyz Nataz...
Dyyz is a bounty hunter, and frequent partner of Spurch "Warhog" Goa. The two operate out of Nar Shaddaa, taking what bounties they can while trying to avoid the attention of Jabba the Hutt.
Dyyz wears a suit of Ithullan battle armor, and a rusty skull-shaped helmet. The Ithullans were an ancient enemy of the Mandalorians, and were wiped out in a long and bloody war centuries ago. Ithullan armor is at least as rare as Mandalorian battle armor.
A former police officer in his home system, he was a tough cop who ended up becoming a member of the Sector Rangers, where he met his partner Warhog. The two busted up a counterfeiting ring that they learned was created by Jabba in an attempt to destroy the Rangers. After they fought off a group of assassins sent by Jabba, Nataz stole their ship and sent it on a collision course with Jabba's asteroid palace. While Jabba was unharmed, plenty of damage was caused, and Nataz earned the nickname "Megadeath."
Nataz and Warhog fled to Nar Shaddaa, where they became bounty hunters. Eventually they ran into a young Rodian named Greedo, whom they agreed to train in the bounty hunting arts. Warhog took the young Greedo to Tatooine, where Greedo accepted his first bounty from Jabba, to bring in Han Solo dead or alive. As you all know, Greedo was shot and killed by Solo in the Mos Eisley Cantina.
In actuality, Warhog Goa had accepted a bounty on Greedo from another group of Rodians, and had deliberately encouraged Greedo to go after Solo, knowing Solo would kill him.
Dyyz Nataz would later partner with the fledgling bounty hunter Torin Koon on Koon's first bounty. After successfully acquiring the target, Nataz double-crossed Torin, stranded him without a ship, and took the bounty for himself.

I knew Kerritharr signs the treaty found that online after I found out he's a character I've come across before in a book.

Since it turns out I have internet access where I'm at, I'll post the next NPC now:
Miko Siva, Nagai princess and daughter of Den Siva, ruler of the city of Kajima, is a childhood acquaintance of Sin Shai and, to a lesser extent, Maj-Odo. She learned to fly with Sin, and despite not having the Force on her side is still nearly as good a pilot.
Although she's well-known as a compassionate, open woman, those who know Miko well also know that she is an excellent liar. She can easily keep a deception running for months at a time without contradicting herself or confusing details. Because of this, Miko is also skilled at seeing through others' deceptions.
After Sin and Maj-Odo left Nagi with the Jedi Holocron entrusted to them by their master, Miko's home city of Kajima was overrun by Tof invaders, led by the dark Jedi Cervantes. Mufasa, the master that taught Sin and Maj-Odo, was killed trying to defend the city from Cervantes. Cervantes took Mufasa's lightsaber, handed it to Miko, and told her that her city would be destroyed by aerial bombardment if she did not present him with the Holocron in six months' time.
Miko set out in her personal starship, the Freebird, with her four loyal bodyguards Keiji, Mori, Krai and Tai. By searching Mufasa's personal records, they learned where the Burninator was supposed to go first, and from there began searching the galaxy. Eventually their search led them to Ord Mantell, where they finally made contact with Sin Shai. Sin, along with his new Jedi Master Telos, promised to return to Nagi and deal with Cervantes.
And deal they did. As you all know. Now Miko is back on Nagi, reunited with her father after his daring rescue from his ancestral home. And Cervantes has been killed.

I hope me throwing this in here won't be much of a problem. I'm mostly doing this becasue I couldn't remember his name myself. That Wookiee who's sponsering me is named Chalmun and the closest translation I can get for a name is Hidden Claw. Not much to him really he's an old Wookiee with a distingusing scar that runs from his left sholder down the left side of his chest. He bought the Cantina from a couple of swindlers and dosen't stop in much. Among the books he's in he's in the Secrets of Tattooine book.

He's also mentioned somewhere in one of the stories in Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina. And it's fine, you can put in info on characters from the real Star Wars universe I use. I wouldn't have even thought to put info on Chalmun myself.

Just thought it would help since the one time his name came up neither of us was sure of it.

As promised, here is all the pertinent info on the first five opponents Liaklanna defeated in the tournament on Tatooine:
Brenjandor male Amanin, Soldier 4
Str 17, Dex 15, Con 16, Int 11, Wis 12, Cha 9. 40 vitality, 16 wounds. Fort +7, Ref+3, Will+2. Initiative +2, Defense 16. Speed 10m (20m when rolling). Attacks: +7 melee or +7/+2 on a charge (2d4+3, crit 19-20, unarmed strike). Feats: Martial Arts, Improved Martial Arts, Power Attack, Dodge, Stava
Brenjandor is a devotee of the Stava martial art, which focuses on charging opponents head-on. Given that Amanin can curl up in a ball to roll faster than their normal foot speed (like Destroyer Droids), Brenjandor is especially well-suited for this style. However, he was no match for Liaklanna once she learned to negate his advantage by staying in close. And so Brenjandor was handily defeated in the first round of the tournament.
