Tuz

"Stealing from the Imperials is thirsty work&hellip;"

- Tuz

Captain Tuz was a tall, obese Mon Calamari pirate and trader who operated during the Galactic Civil War. He wore a military tunic, covered with commendations and battle patches, together with a long cape and a headband. His face was scarred in three places.

Biography
Though Tuz had no love of the Galactic Empire, he did not care about the Rebellion either, but had a long history with the Rebel Admiral, Ackbar. Though the details of this are not known, Ackbar had enough leverage over the pirate to persuade him, reluctantly, to assist the Rebel Alliance by acting as a privateer against the Empire and supplying the Rebels with what he stole. To ensure his cooperation, Ackbar assigned Vice Admiral Wirriz and Commander Fortune to accompany him.

After delivering some Imperial timers and fusion shells, from the stolen BFF-1 bulk freighter Sidral II to the Mon Calamari Star Cruiser Independence, Tuz encountered the Rebel pilots Keyan Farlander, Naeco and Samuel Raider and joined them for drinks in the pilots' lounge. Tuz had to intervene to prevent a fight after his Gamorrean bodyguards took exception to Raider's suggestion that Tuz was little more than a thief. Before leaving, Tuz provided some information on an Imperial repair facility to Commanders S'man and Blastwell.
