Beadle Lubboon

Beadle Lubboon was a Duros male who lived during the Republic Dark Age. The son of Lubboon, Beadle was raised on Darkknell with his parents. In 1,032 BBY, Beadle's father supplied Jarrow Rusher with starship parts, and in exchange, Beadle was permitted to join the mercenary force Rusher's Brigade and became a crew member of Rusher's troopship Diligence. Lubboon served with Rusher at the Battle of Gazzari, and, despite being clumsy and slow-witted, saved the life of Ryland Dackett. After the battle, Beadle became good friends with the Sullustan refugee Tan Tengo and the Jedi Knight Kerra Holt, and help attend to the need of the student refugees aboard the Diligence.

While visiting Byllura, Beadle was sent to bring back Tan, who had sneaked out of the ship. He and the Sullustan girl were captured by the Unifiers, Sith adepts serving the Dyarchy&mdash;the Sith fiefdom that ruled the planet. He and Tan managed to escape due to Kerra's attack on the Dyarchy's Sith rulers. Later, Lubboon accompanied Rusher and Kerra to the Arkadianate capital city of Calimondretta on the icy planet of Syned. Prior to the Siege of Calimondretta, Lubboon helped Kerra escape from death at the hands of the Sith Lord Arkadia Calimondra by smuggling in her lightsaber. When Rusher's Brigade acquired coordinates into Galactic Republic space from the Bothan spy Narsk Ka'hane, where the refugees from Gazzari would be cared for, Beadle voluntarily stayed with Rusher's Brigade.

Early life
Beadle Lubboon was a male Duros who grew up on the planet Darkknell during the Republic Dark Age, the last century of the New Sith Wars. At that time, Darkknell was ruled by the Sith Lord Daiman, one of the thousands of Sith warlords that had emerged in the galaxy following the collapse of the New Sith Wars. Following the Charge Matrica which began in 1,066 BBY, Darkknell had been ruled by the Sith Lord Chagras, the titular ruler of the Chagras Hegemony. Following his death in 1,040 BBY, the Chagras Hegemony split into several feuding states including the Daimanate. During this period, Daiman created a personality cult that revolved around himself as the "Creator" of the Universe. He believed that all other sentient beings, whom he dubbed the "Encumbered" were little more than automatons created to serve his will. During this period, the various Sith Lords of the Grumani Sector fought a succession struggle over control of the region known as the Second Charge Matrica.

Lubboon lived in Xakrea, the planet's largest city and the capital of the Daimanate. Beadle was the son of the Administrator Lubboon and an unidentified Duros woman, the first Duros who had been appointed to the position of managing Xakrea's Plasteelworks. During his teenaged years, he was regarded as being tall for his age group and worked as a labourer in the Daimanate's war forges in Xakrea. During his childhood, the young Beadle developed a reputation for being clumsy and nervous. While his family was relatively well-off by the standards of Sith Space, they still lived in a small crowded apartment as with many other residents of Darkknell. As with many other Daimanate subjects, he was required to work for long shifts at a factory.

Recruitment
In 1,032 BBY, the Human mercenary Brigadier Jarrow Rusher and his helmsman Ryland Dackett visited Mr. Lubboon's plasteelworks to purchase six new hydraulic drives for his troopship Diligence's offloading lift assemblies. These hydraulic accumulators enabled starships to lift-off planetary locations prior to embarking on their travels. Rusher ran an independent mercenary operation known as Rusher's Brigade, which worked for several different warlords.

Wanting a better life for his son outside his position as a laborer, Lubboon Senior persuaded Rusher to recruit and train his son as a mercenary. Lubboon's mother added that she wanted her son Beadle to be in a place that challenged his skills and talents. Rusher offered to train the teenaged Duros as either a gunner in one of his artillery units or provide Beadle with work within his headquarters unit. Rusher also claimed that his operation had no shipboard facilities due to a policy banning any Sith from his troopship Diligence. While his parents were conversing with Rusher and Dackett, Beadle himself entered the room, having finished a work shift.

To the embarassment of his own parents, Beadle leaned against a caft cart carrying several pails of dirt water only to topple with it. Beadle ended up with a barrel stuck to his head and took almost a minute to remove it. Due to his clumsy disposition, Dackett silently commented to Rusher that it would be best for the Duros youth to be assigned to the headquarters unit, which was considered to be a soft posting. Rusher concluded that Beadle would probably be lucky not to take out an entire ammo magazine. After Beadle had extricated himself from the mess, Rusher assured Beadle that war was not a "talent show." After receiving assurances that his son's well being would be looked after, Lubboon Senior allowed Rusher to enlist his son as a new recruit in Rusher's Brigade.

Rusher then attempted to purchase a new hydraulic accumulator unit from Lubboon Senior's plasteelworks. However, Administrator Lubboon was unable to sell the technology to Rusher since all produce at his factory was only sold to Daiman. Rusher was able to negotiate their purchase by claiming that he was working for Daiman. After concluding the transaction, Beadle accompanied his new employers Rusher and Dackett back to their flagship Diligence which was undergoing repairs at the city's spaceport. The Diligence had been a former Devaronian spaceliner that had been mounted on top of two massive retro-rockets attached on either side of its hull. Each of these engines was at the center of a cluster of four large cargo modules.

Beadle's first assignment as a Trooper aboard the Diligence was to fasten rigging around a hydraulic accumulator unit that was being installed onto the vessel. Despite his assurances that he was familiar with operating machinery, Beadle did not fasten the heavy unit properly which caused the accumulator unit to break lose. After apologizing, the Duros youth went to a refresher unit to attend to his own needs. While completing repairs to the Diligence, Brigadier Rusher received a messaged from a holographic statue of Lord Daiman instructing him to attend an audience at the Sanctum Celestial, the Sith Lord's private palace in Xakrea.
