Description
Spoiler: show
Tanith is 29 years old, 1.6 meters tall, and weighs 60 kilos. His dark hair is starting to grey at the temples, and his brown eyes are troubled- betraying the things he’s seen and the depth of his thoughts. Beneath his armor, his body is a wiry and scarred testament to the wars he’s seen. His armor is patched, faded, and well worn, as are his pistols. His helmet is more flexible leather than plasteel, with a face mask containing the life support and high tech goggles. He owns a used L.I. AeroChaser speeder bike, as beaten and patched as his armor.


Personality
Spoiler: show
Tanith is an idealist who has been tempered by experience and war. He believes in the Republic, but not its government or its Jedi protectors. He goes to great lengths to enjoy himself, hoping to avoid the torturous thoughts and memories brought on by boredom.


Background
Spoiler: show
At the age of eighteen Tanith Hoagra joined the Republic Army in response to the call for forces to fight in the Mandalorian Wars. He served as a technician, working as a mechanic and engineer. He learned a great deal from a brilliant Zabrak named Bao-Dur while serving under the Jedi general who became the Exile. This was where he lost his faith in the Jedi. The General’s order to activate the Mass Shadow Generator killed as many of her own troops as it did Mandalorians. Tanith could see that it had affected her, she seemed half dead afterwards. Rumors on the ship said she had lost the Force. Later he learned she had been exiled by the Jedi Council. That she had returned to face their judgment was her only redeeming trait in Tanith’s eyes.

After the Mandalorian Wars and Malachor V, he saw the war in a different light. He saw the way Jedi leaders had thrown troops away because they didn’t understand tactics. He began to understand most of their losses could be laid at the feet of their commanders. The disaster at Serroco was an example. What the Mandalorians did was reprehensible, but whatever fool had made the decision to barrack the Republic forces in the civilian centers was equally to blame. With his faith the Republic government and Jedi shattered, he left the Army.

When the newly christened Darth Revan made his presence known by attacking the Republic, Tanith felt even more betrayed and confused. His love of the Republic’s people made him join the Navy, and Revan’s betrayal served to deepen his distrust of Jedi. While he agreed with the Sith’s intentions, he saw war as unnecessary and needless. He flew in several battles as a fighter pilot. After the Battle of Rakata Prime, Tanith learned of Revan’s role in the final months of the war. Tanith couldn’t understand why the man was never brought up on charges. Only his status as a Jedi prevented it, which troubled Tanith greatly. His disgust with the Republic’s favoritism of Jedi and the Jedi’s wars ravaging the galaxy he loved drove him to abandon the Navy.

After leaving the military he made his way through the galaxy earning his keep as a pilot, mercenary, and racer. He found he was too scrupulous to maintain regular employment as a mercenary, not taking contracts that contradicted with his conscious. The same went for the piloting jobs he had found. He wouldn’t transport slaves or weapons, and didn’t care much for smuggling, save for things he considered harmless. He supplemented his income with bodyguard work, his mechanic skills, and swoop racing. He couldn’t afford a drag bike, but his used L.I. AeroChaser was great for round track races. He had more or less settled on Nar Shadda, having befriended a Duros innkeeper named Lai Teebo. Lai provided him a room and meals for free in exchange for Tanith acting as a bouncer when things became rough. Lai also kept him informed on lucrative jobs, as well as providing a pipeline to the black market, mostly chop-shops and smugglers. An old friend from the wars has also set up on Nar Shadda: a Herglic weapons dealer named Stavros Udo. He met the massive weapons and armor smith as Stavros travelled the frontlines and ships, plying his wares to Republic soldiers. Stavros has used Tanith on many supply and buying runs, and to keep his ship in good repair. In return, he offers fair prices and easily accessible wares Tanith would otherwise have trouble finding, as well as storage for Tanith’s bike when off-planet.

Tanith rolls over in the late evening gloom of his room above Lai Teebo's bar, happy he was still in the Duros's good graces. He groans as he stands, old wounds and last night's binge taking their toll.

Never again will accept a drinking challenge from a frakking Wookie, he thinks as he pulls on his armor. He looks back at the sleeping Twi'lek female; Ooija, one of Lai's waitresses, and decides to let her sleep. He looks over his badly mauled credit stock and wonders how long he'll stay in Lai's good graces.

Time to find some work, or maybe a race. Wonder if Lai's around? he ponders as he makes his way downstairs to the bar proper: The Wayfarer's Rest.

The cantina is relatively quiet given the time of day. Still early yet, only the most dedicated of patrons have arrived, or possibly had never left. The cantina is homely enough run by the female Duros, Lai Teebo, as a dual cantina and lodge. She only has a few rooms she has rented out, but considering the locale, the price is fair for the state of the rooms, which are under decent repair. Business has been good for Lai which has put her in a better mood than usual.

The Duros woman stands behind her bar, cleaning the counter as she speaks to an armored woman. The black-blue armor is unusual even from the vantage you have of it. Obviously not made from the usual stock, you have a hard time placing the manufacturer, but it seems to be light armor. Standing a hair under five and a half feet, she wears the form fitting armor well. There's a blaster rifle slung across her back and a heavy blaster pistol holstered at her right hip in easy reach.

Lai seems to be questioning the armored woman and then upon seeing you, motions her head in your direction before going about other work. Turning to face you, you're struck by the familiarity of it. As she looks at you from the T-visor you are reminded of the helmets worn by the Mandolorians during the war. While the helmet itself is a different shape and style, the T-visor is the most recognizable feature.

Approaching, she seems to look you up and down in an evaluation. "Hoagra? Tanith Hoagra?" she asks, in her accented lilt upon getting within a few feet. Her voice comes in through amplified by the speakers wired through her helmet.

Mandalorian. No one else wears visors like that. Different armor design, new or this one never was issued the other, Tanith thinks as the woman approaches. I hope Lai didn't just sell me out to a vengeful war vet.

"Su cuy'gar," Tanith says, unsure of the pronunciation, "Did I say it properly, Mandalorian? Yes I am Tanith Hoagra. What do you need?" he asks as he sits down at the bar, nodding to the stool next to him and motioning for Lai or the droid bartender. He throws his helmet onto the bar and runs a hand through his military short hair and over his face, wondering how bad he looked this morning.

The woman gives a light laugh as she moves to sit at the bar beside you. You're not sure how she does it, but she takes the stool with the graceful movements of a dancer. "Su cuy'gar, I am Ka'ra," she says with a slight bow of her head in greeting. As one of the bartenders approaches, depositing a cup of caf in front of you, Ka'ra motions him away without ordering. "A mutual friend of ours has pointed you in my direction. I'm in need of a pilot for a ship I've recently come into." The woman continues to watch you, having never removed her gaze from your direction since she first spotted you. "She claims you were one of the best she had seen during the war."

Tanith cradles the caf as he would like to cradle his head and says, "Good to meet you Ka'ra. Since old Momma Lai is the only pilot around that I acknowledge as my better, she must be who you're talking about."

He sips the caf slowly, enjoying the harsh bitterness and warmth. He can already feel life beginning to flow back into his tired bones. They say war ages a man like nothing else except women, but damnit I shouldn't feel this old. Not yet, he thinks.

"Piloting eh? So long as you didn't steal it from the wrong people or buy it for the wrong people you've got yourself a pilot. Where's she to be delivered?" he asks as he scans the bar for Ooima, Ooija's sister, so that he can remind her too not let her sister sleep late. Lai's good graces did not extend to corrupting her servers.

"Lai?" Ka'ra asks quisically. "Oh, your landlady. I was actually referring to Niandra Prius. She told me the two of you served together during the last conflict. I needed someone I could trust for the job."

Niandra Prius was one of your fellow pilots you flew with during the Jedi Civil War, months before the end of the war she had been promoted to squadron leader. You recall she was on the fast track of becoming an officer in the navy. An excellent pilot herself, she seemed to like giving orders, which she was good at, more than flying. In the cockpit she could raise hell but outside it she could be downright calm.

"I came by the ship through family." Ka'ra gives a small laugh at the apparent idea of having stolen the ship and then grows serious again. "It's a standing contract, with minimal terms, but it will last for as long as you want the work." Standing she makes as to leave. "It's at landing pad 4 in the Corellian Sector. I would like to leave within the day so if you're interested be sure you're ready."

"Hold a moment, now lass," Tanith stammers out seeing her move to leave, "I'll need a bit more than that to go on. Lets hear the terms and rate, I may join you with a few hours, if they are to my liking."

Niandra Prius, I haven't seen her since the Battle of Rakata Prime. How did a Mandalorian become friends with an officer on a fast track to Captain? What am I getting myself into? What has Niandra gotten herself into?

The armored woman adjusts the rifle over her shoulder as she considers you once more. "Your living expenses while you reside on the ship will be covered plus 800 a month. Depending on jobs a bonus will be provided, but upkeep on the ship and my fighter will come first. Anything left over we will split seventy - thirty. My terms are simple. Keep the ship and yourself ready till you're needed."

She waits to see if you have any further questions, but she seems to be of the opinion that everything has been laid out.

"Merc work? Do-able. I'm also handy with a hydro-spanner and these pistols aren't for show... Make it a thousand per month, in advance, and an option to renegotiate every six months, and you have yourself a pilot," he replies, thinking this could go along way towards his own ship and helping out Momma Lai.

Need to stop by Stavros's and pick up a few things and drop off the bike... wait, "Will a swoop be of any use? I own one that can be pressed into service," he states.

Ka'ra seems to consider the price. "1000 a month then." She reaches into one of the pouches on her belt and then sets a chip on the bar's counter. "Here's 500 to get your affairs in order the rest I'll have once you reach the ship.There's room for your bike, but you'll have to handle the maintenance of it."

"Done and done. See you there in a few," Tanith replies with a mild grin as he takes the chip.

He rushes to Momma Lai and grabs her up in a hug, "Back in the saddle Momma! Credits and the stars!" he exclaims before gently putting her down, happy to be working again, "I'll bring you back something nice, and Ooija is asleep, tell her good by for me?"

While waiting for her response he activates his comm and keys up Stavros, holding his helmet up towards his face waiting for the big Herglic to pick up...

Ka'ra makes her way confidently out of the cantina, leaving you to finish your business.

Lai pats you on the back as you pick her up in the hug. "Good, I been growing tired of yar belly aching. Getting out of here will do ya some good." As you set her down she goes back to cleaning the counter. "Don'tcha worry about Ooija. Things will be fine here." She walks away, humming and cleaning.


It takes only a few moments for the comm to be answered by the Herglic. "Udo Munitions. Stravos...speak," comes the gruff voice.

"Stavi! I've found some work! Looks to be lucrative too. Wanna piece of the action? Say, in exchange for a small capitol building investment?" he begins, pausing only to breath before carrying on, "To be specific, one of those good lightweight shields and maybe some kinda cannon for the bike. Thicker armor would be nice too, how did that lead on the unlooted War Forge pan out? Maybe a fighter? I can bring in creds and maybe, just maybe, a whole host of clientèle. Including Mandalorians. You know you love Mandalorians Stavi..." he rambles on, hoping to convince the big arms dealer through fast talk and intentionally asking for too much so that he has room to haggle...
