Legend

this man was the owner of the No Luck Required, during the early stages of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. As a child, Uldir was raised on a number of different worlds by his parents, who were Coruscant-based traders and freighter pilots who often worked for the New Republic. He showed no sensitivity to the Force whatsoever, but he was allowed to attend the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 anyway after he stowed away aboard the Lightning Rod. Luke Skywalker agreed to let him stay after he developed a friendship with Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila. Despite Master Skywalker's inability to identify any senstivity to the Force, Uldir maintained that all he needed were a lightsaber and some Jedi robes to help him get started. His studies were cut off when he began causing too much trouble at the academy, and he took up work as a member of the search and rescue teams that formed during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. He served with Dacholder aboard the Pride of Thela, until they tried to rescue the Winning Hand. It was then that Uldir discovered that Dacholder was also a member of the Peace Brigade who had arranged to turn Uldir over to the Yuuzhan Vong who were aboard the Winning Hand. Uldir, however, was not dumb enough to simply fall for the action. When Dacholder was ready to make the transfer, Uldir operated an emergency airlock he had installed on the Pride of Thela, forcing Dacholder out into space. Uldir then fled the area with the Pride of Thela. He decided to leave the Corps and strike out on his own, but continued to devote his life to rescuing Jedi from the Yuuzhan Vong. He and the rest of his crew on the No Luck Required traveled to Bonadan, where they laid low for a while. It was there that Uldir first met Klin-Fa Gi, while she was trying to escape the local authorites. He later discovered that Klin-Fa Gi had gone rogue, when Luke Skywalker personally asked Uldir to retrieve her. The crew managed to apprehend Gi, but she escaped and fled to Wayland. Uldir and his crew managed to repair the No Luck Required and make it to Wayland, where they were beset by a Yuuzhan Vong corvette analog. Uldir took the ship's modified A-Wing to the planet's surface, drawing off pursuit to allow his crew to escape. Once on Wayland, he tracked down Gi in the forest with the help of Txer and the Free People. After discovering that the Yuuzhan Vong were turning Wayland into a strange sort of garden, Uldir was able to locate Klin-Fa. They were forced to defend themselves against the attack of a Chom-Vrone in order to survive, and eventually recovered a qhasa which held the Yuuzhan Vong's plans on destroying bacta production on Thyferra. They traveled to Thyferra at top speed after rescuing Bey Gandan, only to discover that Bey was the delivery mechanism for the virus which could wipe out the alazhi trees. Uldir and Klin-Fa fought valiantly against the former Jedi, until Uldir found himself with Klin-Fa's lightsaber. He threw the weapon at Bey, but Bey used the Force to push it away. His concentration was on Klin-Fa, however, and the lightsaber hit a tree and sliced him in half. Uldir and Klin-Fa then worked to eliminate any trace of the alazhi virus before getting a well-deserved vacation from Luke Skywalker himself. The pair then gave into the emotions, and began to fall in love.
