Skawn Bonduna
this Twi'lek male was a gifted musician and scholar, who grew up during the last years of the Old Republic. His education allowed him a future as an attorney or governor, and his muscial skills seemed to promise a fabulous career in show business. His band, the Sonic Free, was coming into its own just as Emperor Palpatine instituted the New Order, and much of their music was banned by the Imperial Board of Culture. The IBC claimed that Sonic Free was using subliminal manipulation of their music to coerce citizens into acting against the Empire. The other members of Sonic Free were arrested, but Skawn managed to escape. He was spotted in the Mid Rim shortly afterward, and a bounty was posted for his capture. Skawn then fled into hiding again, and remained at large even during the Galactic Civil War.
