Nym

"Five thousand credits up front, and you've got your hero."

- Nym

Nym was a notorious Feeorin pirate. It is noted that he was only captured once throughout his career, by the mercenary Vana Sage, although the two later became friends and partners.

Biography


Nym was orphaned as a child on Lok.

Prior to the Invasion of Naboo, he was defeated on Lok by the Trade Federation army. He earned their attention by attacking a Trade Federation convoy of super-freighters above Lok. His pirate group disabled one freighter that crashed onto the planet's surface. Nym's group recovered the cargo, which contained prototype Vulture Droid Starfighters. The Trade Federation retaliated by attacking Nym's Base. The pirate forces managed to evacuate two of three transports, the last falling to bombers. Nym set charges to blow up the first two Trade Federation landing craft. Thirsty for vengeance, he helped to defeat the Trade Federation at the Battle of Naboo, earning a pardon from Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. For a time he advised the Galactic Republic in its counter piracy efforts, but he found this to be boring, and soon returned to his old ways.

He was involved with a cantina brawl on Commenor and weapons sales on Sullust, before turning up once more on Rodia in 26 BBY, helping Jannik the White win a ceremonial battle against Cairn Clan. Nym next was hired to eliminate Sol Sixxa from Maramere. However he found that he and Sixxa both desired to overthrow the Trade Federation. They joined forces, defeating the Trade Federation representative Harro Ruuk on Maramere. Sixxa would remain with Nym throughout his encounter with Adi Gallia.



Shortly before the Clone Wars, he led his forces against his old foe, Cavik Toth, and his new allies, the Confederacy of Independent Systems, reluctantly teaming up with the Jedi Master Adi Gallia.

Nym led the Revenants to Geonosis, and assisted Adi Gallia in repelling Toth's fleet which was armed with Hex weapons. Following the Battle of Geonosis, Mace Windu offered Nym a position as commander of the Karthakk system. He declined, preferring to "keep his options open."

He later built a base on Lok and became the leader of his people, and during the Galactic Civil War he was a Rebel Alliance sympathizer, although he never openly supported either side. He attacked transports, usually Imperial, along the Corellian Trade Spine and helped Rebel pilots who became stranded on his planet. While on Tatooine, Commander Oberhaur of the Storm Squadron dispatched their newest recruit on several missions to Lok in order to disrupt Nym's affairs.

Fearsome in nature and appearance, like all Feeorin, Nym only grew stronger with age. His reputation as a ruthless strategist and combatant even made the Empire hesitant to cross him and his organization.

His personal symbol was a meaningless tattoo he earned in the Blood Pits of Nar Shaddaa, but it soon earned a new significance when he used it as the symbol of the Lok Revenants.

Personal craft


Nym's personal starfighter was called the Havoc. He and his Bith assistant, Jinkins, stole it from Nubian Design Collective and added a very lethal energy bomblet generator. Some say it was the most deadly starfighter in the sector.
