Farnsworth

"I am Doctor Farnsworth and I am on Kashyyyk studying the local environment centered around Kachirho."

- Doctor Farnsworth about himself.

Doctor Farnsworth was a male Ithorian scientist who traveled to the planet Kashyyyk to study the environment around the city of Kachirho. In 1 ABY, five of Farnsworth's environmental survey devices stopped transmitting, so the Ithorian doctor enlisted the help of a passing spacer, telling the spacer to go find the survey devises and bring back their data to him. After the spacer completed his task, Farnsworth gave the helpful being 10,000 credits and a painting of a Clone Wars-era clone trooper for assisting him.

Biography
"I would really like to get the data from my survey devices. Their memory banks are probably getting full at this point. Unfortunately, it is far too dangerous for me to go out and get that data manually."

- Farnsworth about his missing survey data.

Doctor Farnsworth was an elderly Ithorian male scientist, who, sometime prior to 1 ABY, was commissioned to study galactic history. During his historian career, Farnsworth came across a painting of a Old Republic clone trooper dressed in phase I armor.

After finishing his tenure as a historian, Farnsworth journeyed to the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk to study the local environment around the city of Kachirho. In 1 ABY, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, five of his environmental survey devices stopped sending in signals, likely due to atmospheric inference. As a result, someone needed to go out into the forest and download the memory from the devices by hand, but the area around the devices was far too dangerous for the aged Ithorian to travel through, being filled with a variety of deadly predators.

However, Dr. Farnsworth soon met a passing spacer, who&mdash;after Fransworth explained his predicament&mdash;agreed to go out and collect the data from the survey equipment and bring it back to the Ithorian. After the spacer retrieved the information, Farnsworth gave the spacer 10,000 credits and his painting of the clone trooper as payment for the spacer's services.

Personality and traits
"Hello. I do not think I have ever seen you before. You must be new here on Kashyyyk. Welcome."

- Farnsworth upon meeting the spacer for the first time.

Dr. Farnsworth was very polite, as he would courteously welcome any traveler he met, even beings he had never seen before. When the spacer retrieved his survey data, Farnsworth both graciously thanked and paid the spacer for his helpfulness. The Ithorian also cared about the spacer, hoping that his helper would not get hurt while searching for the data. Farnsworth admired Kashyyyk's nature and forests, believing it to be a fascinating study and a lovely country.

Behind the scenes
Dr. Farnsworth made his first and only appearance in the Star Wars Galaxies expansion game Rage of the Wookiees, where he has a quest that the player can complete for experience points and other rewards. Although the player can choose not to do Farnsworth's quest and refuse his request for assistance, this article assumes 100% game completion.
