Legend

this Givin worked for Chief Purser Waverton aboard the Aurorient Express, and was responsible for loading and unloading the cargoes of the wealthier passengers. When the ship was attacked by Fastlach-class droids which were hidden in the cargo bays, Waverton's records indicated that it was Foahl who had supposedly loaded Saul Moegantz's cargo. Moegantz's cargo lot had been swapped out in favor of the droids, leading Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to investigate Foahl's actions in loading the lot. Foahl fled as soon as the Jedi asked him about the cargo lot, not even mentioning the droids. They took Foahl flight as a sign of guilt, and tried to bring him back for questioning. He revealed that he had brought the droids on board for show, as part of a plan to evacuate the ship and steal its more valuable cargoes. However, Foahl was unaware of the true danger that the ship was in. He tried to ensure his survival by threatening to set off a core bomb, but Waverton shot him dead before he could activate the explosive. Waverton later revealed that Podlong had been a pressure pirate, part of the gang who had contracted Waverton to help them steal the cargo from the Aurorient Express.
