Biography


During the case of "Baby Ludi", in which the Jedi Council refused to turn a baby Human back over to her mother, he was interviewed by a HoloNet News journalist. In the interview, he argued that the Jedi had their rules, and it was those rules that made the galaxy safe.

In 22 BBY he was seen conversing with the two Dugs Seboca and Rednax in Dex's Diner, seated two booths behind Obi-Wan Kenobi and Dexter Jettster who were discussing the origin of a mysterious saberdart. Seboca, a holovid star, was in danger, and Bushforb, along with his assistant Rednax, was brought in to investigate by Seboca's personal assistant, Vekka Lodik.

With the help of Dexter Jettster, Bushforb followed a trail of clues until he came to a rundown apartment registered to a Dug named Manoca, which later turned out to be an alias of Seboca himself. However, the whole case turned out to have been a ruse. Lodik was the one intending to murder Seboca, and she intended to kill Bushforb and frame him for the crime. Luckily for the Nuknog, he was ready, and when she attempted to shoot him, Bushforb felled Lodik with a blaster of his own.
