Drigor Tarrens

Drigor Tarrens was a former member of the Qektoth Confederation who lived on Uukaablis.

Biography
Drigor Tarrens was born in 34 BBY on a colony along the edge of the Kathol Rift. In approximately 18 BBY, he discovered an abandoned station and marked its location. Tarrens presumably studied one of the branches of science, and he joined the Qektoth Confederation in 7 BBY. He revealed the location of the space station that he had discovered several years previously, and the Confederation moved it to the Qu'mock system and used it as a research station.

In 2 BBY, Tarrens learned of a Confederation project to grow new life-forms with enhanced capabilities. Distrubed, he went to report his findings to the rest of the Confederation, but his Y-wing exploded just after he took off from a secret base. His body was recovered after the crash, and repaired with cybernetic systems without his approval. Tarrens was summoned to appear before the Confederation leadership on the charge of treason, presumably for allowing cybernetic systems to be implanted in his body which was against the Confederation's stated intent of freeing the galaxy from dependence on artificial technology. Since the charge of treason was punishable by death, Tarrens fled to Uukaablis and requested political asylum.

Tarrens became a recluse, living in cave in a forest away from the Uukaablian cities. At some point, he acquired a Helix-class light interceptor.

In 8 ABY, Tarrens was approached by members of the crew of the New Republic ship FarStar for help. Tarrens initially refused to assist them, saying he wanted no dealings with the Confederation ever again. However, when he learned that they may have been exposed to a Confederation-created disease, he relented and gave them the coordinates for the research facility located in the Qu'mock system, which was a day's hyperspace travel from Uukaablis. He told Captain Adrimetrum that she would find computer files on the station that they could use to develop an antidote.

Tarrens apparently had a change of heart about dealing with the Confederation; he took his Helix light interceptor to the Qu'mock system, arriving in the middle of a battle between the FarStar and a Qektoth Attack Cruiser. Tarrens assisted in the rescue of the FarStar's landing party, then revealed that the attack cruiser had a weakeness that they could exploit. His assistance resulted in victory for the FarStar.

Back on Uukaablis, Tarrens revealed his past to the crew of the FarStar, and his wish to hide from the Confederation until he died. After helping them, he changed his mind, and wished to atone for his past crimes.
