Miktiss

Miktiss was a Saurton warrior and pirate who operated in the Kathol Sector during the early years of the New Republic.

Early life
Born on the Saurton homeworld of Essowyn, Miktiss was a member of the Des'mar coalition, who kept the large mining corporations that dominated the planet in power. Miktiss worked to disrupt the opposing Quenno, and led several attacks on their protests. However, his actions were illegal, and proof of his crimes was presented to the Saurton Council of Elders. Although many on the Council were Des'mar supporters and employed Miktiss, they had no choice but to sentence him to death. Miktiss refused to blame the Council, claiming he acted on his own. Prior to his execution, he was smuggled off world in exchange for the promise that he would never again set foot on his homeworld.

A life of piracy
Miktiss gathered a group of beings around him, and around 7 ABY, he lead a raid on a starport on Elshandruu Pica that netted him three Skipray Blastboats. Along with a modified CEC Action IV transport, the Asagov Raider, the pirate band - named the Des'maric Pirates after Miktiss' former allegiances - began to ply their trade in the Kathol Sector.

Personality and traits
Miktiss was extremely loyal to his cause and his people. He truly believed that Essowyn needed the mining corporations to prosper, and employed violence against the opposition to ensure their supremacy. Even when faced with certain death, he refused to blame the Council that had condemned him, even though many of them supported and employed him.
