Voort saBinring

Voort saBinring, or "Piggy", was a Gamorrean male and member of Wraith Squadron from its inception in 7 ABY through the Yuuzhan Vong War.

Biography
Prior to joining the New Republic Navy, saBinring was biogenetically altered by Binring Biomedical, given a genius mathematical acumen and the ability to speak Basic via throat-mounted translator. His prowess with maths was so great that during his first days as a Wraith, he demonstrated an ability as a sort of tactical computer, his mathematical abilities and pattern recognition allowing him to guide other pilots to heighten their efficiency, even as he flew well himself. Eventually escaping the facility with help from his creator, saBinring made his way to Obroa-Skai and joined the Rebellion. His creator later committed suicide. However, his starfighter career was abruptly cut short by a xenophobic superior officer, who framed him for assault and insubordination. The officer punched at him, Piggy blocked, and the officer chose to remember it as an attack. Undeterred, saBinring applied for transfer to Wraith Squadron and immediately impressed squadron leaders Wedge Antilles and Wes Janson with his genius for astronavigation and intelligence analysis. He also had a simple explanation for why he could not have attacked the officer: If Piggy had punched him, the officer would not have been able to speak coherently at the time he reported the "assault".



When Warlord Zsinj brainwashed certain members of non-humanoid species to wreak havoc in the New Republic and assasinate important leaders, Piggy single handedly saved Admiral Ackbar's life. Lieutenant Jart Eyan, a Twilek was brainwashed, and when receiving a code phrase trigger, walked into Admiral Ackbar's office, where Piggy was at the time commenting on Wraith Squadron's most recent significant encounter with Warlord Zinj, and shot Piggy in the stomach. Piggy, although near death, was overcome with base Gamorrean instincts, and rose to fight Eyan. He broke the blaster with a vibroblade and smashed the Twilek into the wall, smashed his head flat and left a big dent in the wall with a desk, shortly before passing out. Piggy had to be submerged in bacta for an extended period of time, but fully recovered and eventually returned back into the Wraith's service.

As a Wraith, saBinring participated in the fight with freelance Imperial Admiral Apwar Trigit and was a valued analyst on Han Solo's anti-Zsinj task force. He continued service with the squadron when it was transferred to New Republic Intelligence (NRI).

During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, he participated in Antilles' efforts to repel the Vong from Borleias, as both a Wraith and a member of Twin Suns Squadron. Piggy would also help plan Luke Skywalker's mission to Coruscant to hunt down Lord Nyax.
