Lasavvou

"Are you from the dock authority? If so, I say twice, I will not pay departure fee&mdash;it is as if you were taking money at blasterpoint."

- Lasavvou

Lasavvou was a male Ithorian stranded on the moon Nar Shaddaa after the Jedi Civil War. The Ithorian shipped deliveries around the galaxy and was in the middle of such a shipment in 3,951 BBY, taking a large shipment of cryogenic power cells to a contact that was supposed to meet him on the moon. However, his contact did not show up so he was unable to pay the departure fee imposed by the dock authority, a branch of the crime syndicate the Exchange. As a result, he was denied permission to leave and the authority threatened to impound his ship. He was helped by a woman known as the Jedi Exile, who was able to negotiate a waiver of the departure fee for him. In exchange, Lasavvou gave the Exile one of the power cells and his word that he would transport a refugee, Kahranna, and her family off the moon. In reality, he was planning to leave without the refugees, but was Force persuaded to help the family by the Exile.

Biography
"I am transporting cryogenic power cells. A large shipment."

- Lasavvou

Lasavvou was a male Ithorian, who couriered shipments across the galaxy. At some point, he joined the Ithorian Supremacy League. In 3,951 BBY, he became trapped on Nar Shaddaa in the Outer Rim Territories. He was in the middle of a delivery of cryogenic power cells to another party; although Lasavvou was able to pay the fee for landing at the docks with what credits he had, his contact didn't show so he was unable to pay the 600 credit departure fee to the dock authority. As a result, the dock authority threatened to impound his starship, confiscating the cargo. With what credits he had, he rented a room in a flophouse by the docks until he could scrounge together enough credits to pay the fee. The Ithorian was approached by a woman known as the Jedi Exile, whom he initially thought was from the dock authority, who offered to find a way to waive the departure fee for him. Lasavvou offered her one of the power cells should she be successful. The Exile talked to Fassa, the dock master, about waiving the fee and they settled on the condition that Lasavvou would give him one of the power cells in exchange. Lasavvou did give the Exile the power cell in gratitude. The Exile also asked Lasavvou to take a woman from the Refugee Sector named Kahranna, as well as her family, with him off the planet. Secretly, the Ithorian planned to leave without the family though the Exile realized this and used the Force to persuade him into taking them along.

Personality and traits
"Other races like to prey on we Ithorians. You think we are weak and stupid. But the Ithorian Supremacy League will prove you all wrong."

- Lasavvou

Lasavvou was a male Ithorian who piloted his own starship as a courier. He was a strong believer in Ithorian supremacy, disliking all other species, and thus joined the Ithorian Supremacy League, though, after accidentally saying the name to the Exile, he would not speak of the organization and pretended to know nothing about it. His prejudice against Humans in particular led him to, after agreeing to bring Kahranna with him to Telos IV, attempt to leave without her and her family. His ruse was discovered by the Exile, who then Force persuaded the Ithorian into keeping his word. Despite his dislike of other species, he was not above accepting help from a Human when it benefited him in the end.

Behind the scenes
Lasavvou was created as an NPC for Obsidian Entertainment's Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords in 2004. Lasavvou's name is misspelled twice in the game as "Lassavou."

There are several options, both light and dark, for the exchange with Lasavvou to play out. If the Exile follows the dark path when the Ithorian asks if she is part of the dock authority, if the player says that she is and that they can negotiate a lower price, he will pay her 200 credits to get more time to pay the fee but never talk to her again. Another option is, after receiving the credits, to tell him that the player characters are there to take his possessions, in which case he will attack the Exile and be killed. If the Exile follows the light side of the Force, as is considered canon, the Exile will talk to Fassa about the problem and, if she had helped him earlier with reordering ships that had docked, he would remove the vehicle from impound for free. If the Exile had not done so, she could arrange for Lasavvou to give Fassa some of the power cells in exchange for his ship, the Exile is still given a cell of her own as thanks. Depending on the player's Awareness stats, the player may or may not see that Lasavvou was lying about his deal to transport Kahranna off-planet. If the Exile does not have enough Awareness points to do so, Lasavvou leaves without her and the Exile is forced to find alternate transportation for the family. If asked why he won't provide transport to Kahranna, Lasavvou replies that other species see the Ithorians as weak and lets slip that «the Ithorian Supremacy League will prove you all wrong». If the player pressures him further about the so-called League, he will deny any knowledge about it.
