Jauxson

Jauxson was the Gotal captain of a gang of pirates who operated on the planet Clak'dor VII.

Biography
The Gotal spent his early life and career serving other pirate leaders, including some of the most notorious and feared throughout the galaxy. Jauxson eventually gained control of his own gang, and the group relocated to the planet Clak'dor VII when they tired of plying the spacelanes. They set up a temporary headquarters in a mountainous region near the domed city of Buerhoz, using environment suits and breathers to shield them from Clak'dor VII's harsh atmosphere. They singled out Buerhoz and two other cities for their main targets, raiding them weekly.

These raids impeded city commerce and cowed the citizens into submission. After tiring of his predations at some point during the Galactic Civil War, two Bith citizens of the city hired a group of spacers to help them gather a small army to fight off the Gotal and his bandits to free the city. When a raiding band arrived, the spacers fought them off, but the bandits simply returned to their camp to gather reinforcements. When Jauxson and his crew returned, the spacers had gathered a larger force to face them. During the ensuing battle, Jauxson and his men were defeate and deposed.

Personality and traits
Jauxson and his 20 underlings worked by raiding Buerhoz and two other cities. The band typically spent two days per week at camp and then sped to a raiding target on swoops and speeder bikes in groups of ten or fewer. At the target city, Jauxson and his crew demanded entry into the dome lest they compromise it to expose the citizens to the toxicity outside; the Bith citizens regularly complied. Once inside, the pirates raided the population centers, which they considered their property. There, they roamed the streets without fear, stole whatever they desired&mdash;particularly foodstuffs and alcoholic beverages. Jauxson met any hesitation on the Bith's part with violent reprisals, including hostage-taking.

Behind the scenes
Jauxson appears in "A Fistful of Credits", an adventure scenario written by Bill Olmesdahl and published by West End Games in [[1992 as part of the Star Wars Gamemaster Screen. The adventure outline casts the player characters as the offworlers hired by the Bith of Buerhoz to repel Jauxson and his forces, but it does not specify whether they succeed nor Jauxson's ultimate fate. However, Jauxson's entry in The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia, published in 2008 by Del Rey, indicates that the Gotal pirate captain was in fact defeated by these spacers and deposed from his leadership of his gang.
