Yorpo Mog

Yorpa was a brown-hued alien of an unknown species found in the mining colonies of Tyne's Horky. He worked for an unscrupulous businessman named Kleb Zellock.

Biography
Kleb kept Yorpa busy working in his mines searching for a valuable mineral known as Nergon 14. He also kept Yorpa close at hand when he accepted a bounty to find a lost prince named, Mon Julpa. Yorpa had several opportunities to capture Mon Julpa, but failed in every attempt.

Yorpa once had an altercation with the young miner named Jann Tosh at Doodnik's Café. He nearly killed Tosh, but for the timely arrival of a freighter pilot named Jessica Meade. Jessica used a mini-stunner and zapped Yorpa in the back of the neck with it, ending the fight.

Soon after this event, Yorpa cut all ties with Kleb Zellock. Kleb knew that his operations were coming to an end and he prepared to escape from Tyne's Horky. His intent was to leave Yorpa behind, taking his share of the mining profits with him. Feeling betrayed, Yorpa turned on Kleb and assisted Jann Tosh, C-3P0 and R2-D2 in bringing him to justice. After Kleb’s arrest, Yorpa began working for Jann’s uncle, Gundy, at his Keschel mine.

Physical appearance
Yorpa was a tall, ape-like alien with long, brown side-burns trailing down past his chin. He was typically seen wearing simple, dark-colored laborer' fatigues while working in the Keschel mines.

Personality
Yorpa only spoke in his native language and could not speak Basic (although he could understand it). He was known for harboring a dislike for droids, and abused them at every given opportunity. This aspect of his personality likely changed after he reformed.

Behind the scenes
Yorpa's name is mis-spelled as Yorba under The Lost Prince entry at TV.com. The English subtitles on the Star Wars: Droids DVD spell his name as Yorpa.
