Biography


Papeega assisted during one interrogation of an unnamed Rebel prisoner with a DZ-70 fugitive tracker droid and was able to extract the name of Luke Skywalker, the pilot who destroyed the first Death Star. Upon learning the name, Vader set out to kill all who had heard it&mdash;including Papeega. He escaped the slaughter and tried to hide somewhere in the Museum of the Old Republic. Imperial stormtroopers finally tracked him down near the museum's aviary. Vader quickly discovered his hiding place. Trapped, Papeega begged for mercy but was killed by the Sith Lord. Afterwards, Vader burned down the whole aviary.

Behind the scenes
The name Papeega is very similar to Polish word papuga (and the Spanish word "papagayo"), which means parrot. Papeega is a bird-like person, though his specific species is unclear.

A Croatian word "papiga", pronounced papeega means a parrot and has been inspiration to the author Darko Macan for naming a bird-like specie.

Ban [] is a noble title used in the Kingdom of Croatia and Kingdom of Hungary in Middle Ages and up to the 20th century, marking their independant status within the Habsburg monarchy.
