  Capsule: R2-Z1 (Artoo-ZeeOne), nicknamed Fweep, is a troublesome little droid who can be as annoying as he can be stubborn. Although he doesn’t realize it. R2-Z1 makes a sound resembling a pitched “fweep” that changes according to mood. He has an incredibly one-tracked mind and persistently works at any given task until it is completed, a trait that brings him trouble as often as praise. Fweep is extraordinarily loyal, making the transition between masters difficult at best. But once he accepts a new master, he will serve faithfully to the point of his own destruction.

  Capsule: Tavri has wandered the galaxy since he was old enough to leave home. In order to stay out of the civil war. Tavri spent much of his time in the Fringe, hiring out the skills he’s learned to the highest bidder. A mishap with the Imperials landed him in a detention block, at the same time a detective for hire named Nim Bola was investigating a recent prison break. Bola made some type of bargain for the Twi’lek s freedom and hired him as his bodyguard. Tavri feels he owes Bola a tremendous debt and is extraordinarily loyal. Over the past few years, he has come to call his employer his friend.
