Meck Odom

"I know I'll regret this question. But where do I come in?"

- Meck Odom

Meck Odom was an Imperial officer assigned to the research facility on Danuta. He was an extremely spiritual person.

He was once the best friend of Kyle Katarn when they were roommates during their tenure at the Academy of Carida. Odom's parents and sister came to his graduation and invited Katarn (who was alone) to stay with them that night. Katarn had a crush on Odom's sister.

Later, while Katarn was on a mission to steal the partial set of Death Star plans from the city of Trid, he encountered Odom before infiltrating the research facility. Odom was persuaded to shut down the base's outer perimeter, allowing Katarn an easier entry. During the skirmish, the two staged a blaster shot that wounded and rendered Odom unconscious, hoping that this would remove Odom from suspicion.

It is unknown whether Odom was implicated in the Danuta incident, whether he was able to defect to the Rebellion, or whether he continued to serve the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. At the time of the incident, Odom was not entirely certain he had done the right thing&mdash;his true loyalty was to saving lives, not to the Empire or Rebellion&mdash;but he comforted himself with the knowledge that only time would tell.
