Musk was a human member of the Maya Pei Brigade during the Imperial Era. They were part of a group that were stranded on the moon Yavin 4 in 4 BBY following an attack on the brigade.
Biography[]
By 4 BBY, Musk had joined the Maya Pei Brigade to fight against the Galactic Empire. In 4 BBY, the brigade was attacked and Musk was apart of a group of at least sixteen members of the brigade that escaped aboard a starship that landed on Yavin 4. However one member of the group subsequently departed in the ship leaving Musk and the rest of the group stranded on the moon. An altercation occurred between the brigade members and an individual named Porko that they found near a clearing with a damaged Breon HOY-39 which resulted in the death of Porko.[1]
Two days after being stranded on the moon, Cassian Andor landed in the clearing with a stolen TIE Avenger that he was going to hand off to Porko. As Andor approached the group announced their presence with blasters drawn and took Andor prisoner. Musk watched as two members of the group Gerdis and Bardi took turns trying to interrogate Andor. Once Rika, a member of the group, found the Imperial pilot helmet in the TIE, the group drew their weapons on Andor again. Later on Musk waited outside the TIE while Rika tried to learn to fly it. After realizing it was a lot more complicated to fly due being a prototype the group discussed the situation before Andor interrupted the group once again trying to convince them to trust him.[1]
That night, an argument between the group erupted when discussing who should be in charge ultimately coming to a head when Crab shoot Rika with his blaster and Rowd responds by shooting Crab. The brigade members exchange fire while splitting into two factions; with Musk siding with Bardi, Nazy, Rowd, Tick, Neek and Flu and regrouping at the TIE while the other group retreats to the crashed HOY-39.[1] The following morning the group cut open a fowl smelling Yavin 4 melon. While discussing whether to eat the it, Musk suggested Flu should eat it because he ate Trogs on a dare before Bardi musters up the courage and takes a bite. Later in day the group began trying to use rope to rotate the TIE so that its weapons would point towards the other group. During the attempt, Musk assisted by using a tree branch to gain leverage. When they found out about the move they opened fire at the TIE forcing the Musk's group to suspend their attempts. [2]
That night Gerdis decided to issue a challenge to Bardi to settle the dispute. The two groups cross towards each other before all dropping their weapons in unison. Musk held a torch as they watched the two leaders engage in a game of Five Hands with Roski rules. While the group watched Andor escaped his captured and made his way to the ship before he could get there a Yavinian doodar came out of the jungle and scooped Bardi and Gerdis in it's mouth. The rest of the group, including Musk scrambled for their guns and began to shoot wildly into the jungle. When the group realized that Andor had made it to the TIE and was taking off they began shooting at it but were unable to stop it from leaving.[2]
