Legend

Nichos Marr was an up-and-coming young mind in the galaxy. He was also sensitive to the Force. He met, and fell in love with, Cray Mingla while at the Magrody Institute, and the two became betrothed. Their Force sensitivity led them both to Yavin 4, to learn the ways of the Jedi under Luke Skywalker. About six months into their training, Nichos somehow contracted Quannot's Disease, and began to slowly deteriorate. Cray, her love for Nichos unbounded, worked stridently to create an android body to replace his withering human body. She was able to perfectly replicate his form, but her lack of understanding of the Ssi-ruuk entechment techniques prevented her from fully transferring his mind to the new body. Once transferred, Nichos lost touch with the Force, and also lost much of his humanity, although he retained a great deal of knowledge and memory. Six months later, when Luke tried to use the Force to extract some of Nichos' memories about Plett's Well, Luke found only words there to describe the memories. There were no images or emotions associated with them. Nichos and Cray then accompanied Luke to the Moonflower Nebula, and were captured and held on the Eye of Palpatine by brainwashed Gamorreans. During his imprisonment by the Gamorreans on the Eye of Palpatine, Nichos began to doubt his existence as a human, and relaized that he would probably never become human again. So, he volunteered to stay behind with Callista and destroy the ship. When Cray suggested that Callista take her body, Nichos realized the depths of Cray's love for him. Together, they helped destroy the Eye of Palpatine by sacrificing themselves.
