"I am Ozurist, the chief engineer. I serve the great machines, the true rulers of Coruscant."

- Ozurist

Ozurist was a male Lethan Twi'lek who lived on Coruscant during the Cold War. He served the "great machines" in The Works, and asked a traveling hero to help save one of his masters.

Biography
A chief engineer in The Works, Ozurist believed that the "great machines", as he called them&mdash;the giant machines and computers that comprised Coruscant's infrastructure&mdash;were alive. After the Sacking of Coruscant, much of the planet's infrastructure was heavily damaged, and the programming of many of the droids in the Works became corrupted. These droids went rogue, attacking any living being that entered the Works, and became so much of a threat that the Republic was forced to send troops down into the Works to combat the threat.

These droids, known to Ozurist and the "great machines" as "mobiles", believed that they should kill all living beings on Coruscant and rule the planet themselves. However, the "great machines" disagreed, as their programming was still intact. Several of the droids damaged the machine Ozurist called Thermodraft, intending to cause a massive explosion and radiation leak that would kill an untold number of civilians.

Ozurist asked a traveling hero to the enter the Works and save Thermodraft, so as to prevent the disaster. The hero ventured into the Works, braving attacks from Cthon and rogue droids, and was able to release the control valves on Thermodraft. This released the pent-up pressure, fixing the machine and preventing the explosion. The hero then returned to Ozurist and informed him of their successs, who thanked them for their help and their service to the great ones.
