Legend

a smuggling chief working for Billey, Dravis was a graduate of the Imperial Academy and accomplished pilot, although many of his old friends remembered his lack of punctuality that his flying skills. His father hoped Dravis would follow in his footsteps and join the Scimitar Wing, but Dravis had other plans. Although nothing has ever been confirmed, rumors persist that he stole an Imperial shuttle and fled to the Outer Rim Territories to escape from an unwanted child he had fathered. He made a meager living in the Outer Rim Territories during the early years of the New Republic, working as a smuggler until he found himself employed by Billey. Dravis was also an old acquaintance of Han Solo's, and it was Han who approached him with a job offer to work as a pilot for one of the cargo transport operations that supported the New Republic. It was Dravis who told Solo about Thrawn's appearance in the borderland regiosn of the galaxy, and that he thought it was Talon Karrde who had taken over Jabba the Hutt's empire. Later, Dravis agreed to help Karrde track down the source of Grand Admiral Thrawn's clones, when it became apparent that Thrawn had begun growing clones to serve as crewmen aboard his starships.
