Legend

this Krish worked for Bolabo Hujaan on Byblos as a starship mechanic. He specialized in the repair and tuning of drive systems, and earned the nickname "Maniac" because of his wild-looking eyes and crazy giggling. He owned the astromech droid known as Patchwork, and their work on starships was legendary among spacers. Much of his legend was based on successful work, but Maniac was also known as the mechanic who eliminated the Yagaran Four. He had been working for the Yagaran Four as a mechanic, and modified their YT-1300 freighter to help increase its power and speed. The improvements resulted in disaster, as the hyperdrive exploded upon activation, killing the Yagaran Four. The resulting explosion spread a cloud of radioactive dust over the fifth moon of Elin Roe. As a hobby, Maniac spent his time tinkering with droids, and has successfully tested many of his modifications on Patchwork.
