Yush Baskalar

Yush Baskalar was a scientist who worked with the Thaereian military in researching genetics and cybernetics. As a child, Baskalar had been identified as Force sensitive and taken to the train at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. He was soon sent away because he had a penchant for violence. By the time he returned home, his family had died in an accident while moving to another system. He had a lasting hatred of the Jedi after that.

Yush Baskalar had an interest in science, and excelled in such diverse fields as droid manufacture, cybernetics, and Near-Human genetics. He had worked at a university doing advanced genetics research for the Galactic Republic, but was dismissed for conducting questionable experiments. He was approached by Qar Jalunn, who offered unlimited resources to continue his research. Baskalar balked when he learned he had to work with the Thaereian military, but Jalunn convinced him to continue on.

Baskalar hated everyone he worked with. He was easily annoyed, which caused his eyelids to twitch. He slurred and spoke with a gutteral accent. He was focused in his work, and his ultimate goal was to destroy the Jedi Order.

Yush Baskalar was a short, stooped man with narrow shoulders. He was bald, with thick black eyebrows. His mouth was in a perpetual grimace, and he had a small x-shaped scar on his right forehead, which he tried to hide by turning away in conversation. Overall he moved slowly and awkwardly, which belied the nimbleness of his hands.
