Egoreg

Biography
Captain Egoreg was a Captain in the Rebel Alliance. He was in charge of a small Rebel venture into rehabilitating Tatooine into a more beautiful and vegetated world immediately following the Battle of Yavin. He appeared as a lean faced, brown haired middle-aged man. His project included the construction of a "supervaporator", which can only be assumed to be a more powerful model of Tatooine's common moisture vaporators used to pull water from the dry desert air.

Egoreg's assignment was plagued from the start by mysterious mechanical failures, contaminated oil supplies and malfunctioning droids. While attending a meeting on his plans with several leaders of the Alliance, the conference room they were in suffered a minor explosion. No one was hurt, and afterwards R2-D2 sent the team a distress signal stating that the cause of the project's woes had been found. Rushing to investigate, Han Solo and Chewbacca ran into Jawas, who were caught redhanded by C-3PO and R2-D2 sabotaging the machines and spoiling the oil supply which had been the cause of the malfunctioning droid problem.

The Jawas were punished, and the ambitious undertaking had to be cancelled. It was presumably because the Rebel Alliance had no money to waste on expensive rehabitation projects. Following this, Egoreg's team abandoned their small desert base. No further attempts at rehabitating Tatooine were made.
