Noa Briqualon

Noa Briqualon was a mid-level scout who was stranded on the Forest Moon of Endor long ago, where he learned to adapt to his primitive surroundings. He was marooned on Endor when his ship was caught in the complex gravity patterns of the world and crashed in the forest. The power drive crystal of the ship shattered, and his friend Salak went to find one, but was captured by the evil Sanyassan Marauders and killed. Noa soon realized that his friend wasn't coming back and made his home in what remained of a hollow tree trunk.

Noa's house was small but cozy. A homemade table was by the door and a stove was also near the door. Animal hide rugs carpeted the wooden floor. Also there was Noa's bed and assorted tables, hollows, and crevices in which junk was stored. There was also a small upstairs part with lots of interesting articles up there.

Noa met Teek, a mischievous creature, and the old spacer let him stay at his home, and even carved Teek his own bed out of the tree trunk walls of the house. It was Teek who led Cindel Towani and Wicket W. Warrick to Noa's house.

The old man at first was angry that the kids should be brought into his house, but soon grew to like them, as beneath his gruff exterior he truly was a kindly man. He helped save Cindel and the Ewoks from the Marauders. From his actions came a huge battle in which Noa fought the evil marauder King Terak. Wicket the Ewok defeated Terak while Noa and Cindel repaired the starship.

After plying the spacelanes with Cindel for some years, he eventually retired in the Mid Rim of the Galaxy.
