Bakken
this Snivvian pirate was one of the many who were contracted by the Alliance to ambush Imperial convoys. He had previously served as an "alien cultures consultant" to the Alliance in Zaric Sector, before decided to strike out on his own as a privateer for the Alliance. His superiors tried to persuade him to remain with the Alliance, but Bakken threatened to strike out on his own if he wasn't allowed to leave. Zaric Sector command let him go, and Bakken quickly made good on his promises to help the Alliance.
