- The mine operator to Gavyn Sykes

Biography
During the invasion of the planet Naboo by the Trade Federation in 32 BBY, this mine operator was using his mining camp to search for plasma resources on Naboo. The Trade Federation Droid Army began attacking his camp with several tanks, and a ship resembling the Hutt smuggler Borvo's personal transport left the scene during the skirmish. Lieutenant Gavyn Sykes of Bravo Squadron, travelling in a speeder, was searching for his downed flight leader Captain Kael at the same time and discovered the mining operation. After destroying the droids, Sykes contacted the mine operator to demand who was in charge. The operator responded by becoming hostile, insisting that his mine was a legal operation. His words, however, did not deter Sykes, and the operator ordered his remaining defenses to fire on the Naboo pilot when Sykes refused to heed the operator's final warning. Sykes retaliated by destroying the camp.
