Legend

this aging man owned the Bold Moisture Plant on Ord Mantell, during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. After Taxer Sundown arrived on the planet, Orin resisted giving up his moisture farms to the crimelord, even after his wife was killed by Mantellian savrips. He feared that Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi were sent to shake him down, when the Jedi arrived at his facility to track down the Mantellian Savrips who had killed Baron Sando of Vena. Orin and his daugther, Nella, explained that the freighter had probably set down on Sundown's land, and Nella agreed to guide them to Ten Mile Plateau. Nella later discovered that her mother had actually been killed by Sundown, who made her death appear to be caused by the savrips in order to gain support for his own activities. Orin himself learned that his wife had discovered Sundown's stash of lightsabers, and threatened to reveal his criminal activities.
