Unidentified Bith scientist

This male Bith scientist was present on the moon of Nal Hutta, Nar Shaddaa, during the Dark Wars in 3,951 BBY. The Jedi Exile met him in his laboratory on the Nar Shaddaa Docks and questioned him about what he was doing. The Bith scientist explained to her that he was trying to pinpoint the source of a signal that seemed to encompass the entirety of the moon, to which the Exile offered her assistance. He gave the Exile a simple courier job: to pick up a package from a Twi'lek at one of the docking pylons. When the Exile arrived to meet the Twi'lek, she found only his body and no package, and was attacked by a droid. When the Exile returned to tell the scientist the news, she found only his dislocated arm, clutching a datapad with a message stating that he had found the signal source, but was attacked by his helper droid. The Exile learned later from G0-T0 that he was the source of the signal.

Biography
The male Bith scientist resided on Nal Hutta's moon Nar Shaddaa during the Dark Wars in 3,951 BBY. The Jedi Exile met with the scientist in his room on the Nar Shaddaa Docks, which he had turned into a makeshift laboratory, while he was working and began questioning him about what he was doing. He explained the he was investigating a strange signal, and was using his equipment to tie into some listening devices he had installed atop the docking pylons. He explained that his species was able to detect much higher frequencies than Humans and that no matter how many signal dampeners he surrounded himself with, he could not get it out of his head. He claimed that if it weren't for his knowledge of such things, he probably wouldn't of been able to detect it, and that due to his familiarity with such technologies, he was unable to tune it out like other Bith probably could. He noted that whatever was generating the signal had to be enormous, as it was surrounding the entire moon, and that the unique thing about the signal is that it was buried among a myriad of other signals and background noises. He speculated that whoever was generating this signal wanted to keep it as secret as possible.

The Exile asked if there was any way she could help, and the Bith said that he did need a courier to pick up an important part for his equipment from a Twi'lek at docking pylon three on the docks, as he did not have the time to leave his work. He offered the Exile his thanks and 200 credits. The Exile agreed and headed to the pylon, but when she arrived, she found only the corpse of the Twi'lek. She inspected the corpse, but was unable to locate the part. The pylon door suddenly sealed shut and a cleaning droid in the pylon attacked her. After destroying the droid, the Exile returned to the Bith's laboratory, only to find his dislocated arm clutching a datapad with a message on it. The message stated that he had discovered the source of the signal, but was immediately attacked by his lab assistant droid. G0-T0 later admitted to being the source of the unknown signal, which he claimed he used for relaying commands and information.

Skills and abilities
The Bith was a scientist who specialized in high frequency signals and the technology that went into creating and detecting them. He had the natural ability to detect these signals, but unlike other members of his species, he was unable to simply tune out certain ones due to his extensive knowledge of them.

Behind the scenes
This Bith scientist appears in the 2004 role-playing game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords by Obsidian Entertainment. While Nar Shaddaa is technically a moon, the Bith refers to it as a planet. He shares the same model with all other Bith characters in the game.
