Suvam Tan

Suvam Tan was a Rodian merchant who operated an abondoned Republic space station around Yavin, called Yavin Station, around the time of the Jedi Civil War. He once encountered Revan, who helped him drive off a few Trandoshan thugs.

A slave for the Sith on Yavin 4 during the Great Sith War, Suvam was an accomplished inventor. He searched several of the moons of Yavin for parts, having memorised several bountiful locations during his slave days. His inventions were sought after by many, especially smugglers. He even constructed a lightsaber.

As the low-quality Yavin Station began to crumble, Suvam hid several of his most prized possessions on locations on the three habitable moons of Yavin. He sent a data crystal containing information of where to find these to his only son on Rodia. Just as the freighter carrying the data crystal undocked, Yavin Station exploded. The blast propelled it into the asteroid moon Yavin 22, where Suvam's body was found millennia later by a descendant of his called Suz Tanwa.
