Background Story:
Daviik Auryn Kir had his roots on Taris but his family and their business moved out to the frontier finacial reasons.
He prefered to attend the Imperial Academy, with dreams of seeing the galaxy rather than work for his families transport concern.
It almost paid off but unfortunately, Imperial trade restrictions and civil war destroyed his parents shipping company and they were forced into bankrupcy.
After losing his first ship (a Trilon Mining Barque) belonging to his uncle, to "avoid" prison, he was left with few alternatives stranded on The Zodiac.
It was then that this Academy honors graduate met a (then) priate/smuggler by the name of Heui Doode and it was upon HIS advice that he entered into contract with Nuric Furtz (a used shipdealer with connections to Jabba the Hutt) on Nar Shadda.
The two YM-2800's were in horrible shape and due to an "error" in translation, Daviik had no choice but to pay Jabba's flunky EXACLY what he asked for....NOBODY tells Jabba they are not going to pay!
Now feeling taken by Jabba, betrayed by Heui...absolutely broke...with a pair of junkers that will probably never fly...that he spent nearly the ALL rest of his inheritance on...he discovers Emma in the cargo hold.
The rest (as they say) was history.
It is also Captain Kir's admission that he never would have dated Taundi Wyss had it not been for The Doode.
Looks at the purchace of the CEC transports as the beginning of the end of his "good graces" with The Horrorscope gang and the end of his relationship with its leader.
(She NEVER believed the Jabba the Hutt story and the "sudden" appearance of the bimbo-like Emma was too much for her too take!)
Prefer's to keep the company of his droids and often talks to them like "people" at inappropriate moments.
Wanted Myk as a part of the crew even though the rest were "concerned" about his "Imperial" origins.
Is overprotective of his LSR airspeeder hotrod, thinks of it as extended "family"....never lets anyone drive it.
Favorite weapon is his mind....shuns weapons if at all possible.
Consequently rarely carries one.....(THAT's what Myk is for!)
One of the few remaining members of his family who can genetically trace his roots straight back to the Lhorsan family on Taris during the time of Revan.
Feels somewhat uncomfortable with the "less than legal" work he is forced to take in recent days but justifies it as; "At least I don't work for the Empire."
Is slowly beginning to realize that with the disbanding of Starlaw, the Coalition of Free Worlds mandate to peaceful co-existance in the Frontier no longer exists.
Greatest aspiration was to make "first contact".
Once considered The Frontiers brightest Academy applicant, his regional test scores have yet to be beaten.

Background Story:
EHM has no recollection of anything before the evening that she was discovered by Captain Kir, naked and wounded in the Barq's cargo hold....this does not bother her.
She has unusual data files and knows secret locations hidden in the cityscapes of Nar shadda like no other....this does not bother her either.
Emma can handle a blaster rifle as well as Mr Mylar....(considerably more alarming) but this does not bother her in the slightest iota.
The fact that she didn't even KNOW she was a synthdroid in the first place doesn't seem to register with her at all, sometimes she STILL forgets!
However, the possiblity that her past might catch up to her (and the crew of the Barq's) at any moment and she still won't have a clue as to why....terrifies her beyond all means of ration computation.
Even with a complete set of falsified documents from the ship's "scrounger" (an act she does not take lightly at all) she has yet to trust anyone but but Captain Kir with her secret.
More like a den mother to the wayward crew than a communications specialist and co-pilot...she always seems to know JUST what to say to smooth things once they've gotten rough.
Preventing Myk from killing Doode qualifies her to be the hardest working crewmember on the ship....easily the HIGHEST paid member of the crew, she has yet to spend a single cubit!
May come across as distant to others in an attempt to cover up her artificial nature....pretends to have "human" frailties.
Recent flashes of memory have lead her to believe the nature of her "reprogramming" may have been voluntary.
Has the crew and droids of the Barq's has Bite at her beck and call....quite literally in fact.
Is upset her model was built with with an "unproportioned" chest yet is the first to exploit the effect of large mammeries on mammals....must have sports support regardless of circumstances.
Dislikes the "Damsel in Distress" routine she is always asked to play.
Not afriad to put "foot to ass" for her crew when the chips are down has earned her great respect from the ship's leatherneck, Myk Mylar.
Prides herself on the fact that she can reign in Doode with a whisper when Daviik needs to yell, Myk would need a pistol and the rest of the galaxy hasn't a prayer!
No one in the crew has managed to gather up the courage to ask her why she hates Trandoshans so much or why she can even cause military-grade droids to "forget" she is even in the room?

Background Story:
Heui is less of an "active" crewmember and more like a "stray animal" that refuses to leave...regardless of his location, he always seems a bit "out of place".
Dresses like a swashbuckler of yesteryear.
An ill-fated romance with the cousin of a Soccorran Warlord, Vin Rjen earned him a death sentence and exile from his homeworld. (Although Mylar suggests it had MORE to do with his taste of clothing)
If not fighting with Myk over crazy "conspiracies" about the Empire and other "legendary myths"...he would be doing nothing at all!
Originally was a member of The Horrorscope swoop gang shortly after arriving on The Zodiac before joining the Barq's crew.
Introduced Daviik to Taundi Wyss....then time enforcer and now leader of the Horrorscope.
Was accused by Taundi of sabotaging the "deal" when the second YM-2800 could never be made operational at the same time as the other one.
Whether you are looking for Death Sticks or a 'recently fired and only dropped once" blaster, he is most likely to find it for you.
Personally responsible for getting the crew some of its more "memorable" jobs.....considered to be the one most likely consealing a weapon out of anyone in the crew.
Even though he has been know to stretch the truth a little bit from time to time the crew usually tolerate his attitude and manerisms...he has never abandoned them, ESPECIALLY once he has landed them all in hot water.
Is considered a "bad" pilot when in reality it is Daviik's opinion that he flies better than most Academy senior students.
Known to become flustered around Emma.
Is "unusually" well travelled for simple smuggler....has tales of places most people have never heard of and in all likelihood never will!
Has been known to "disappear" without a word to the others in the presence of the authorities despite that he rarely has "genuine" cause to do so.
Swears constantly....rarely, if EVER, completes a thought without profanity laced through it....swears even MORE in his native language.
Switches to his native tongue when scared, angry or excited and poor ol' Emma is stuck translating till he can manage to calm himself down again.
Seems incapable of accumulating savings of any sort...claims galactic banking and finance is simply another level of the same conspiracy.
Heui Doode isn't even his real name but no one cares to or has even thought of asking him what it actually is.

Background Story:
Originally a prototype for a discontinued model of eugenically perfect clone commando, Myk Mylar was on the vanguard of the push into the untamed terrtories of The Frontier.
As a member of their elite Saurid Squad, they lead the assault during the first pacification of Jarra...it would become known as the first military miscalculation of their enemy.
The Empire lost 150000 men, droids and clones in the routing that followed...Myk was one of the first of those casualties.
Eventually he was discovered by the native Jaril...the very tribe that wiped out his unit...only instead of execution, they took him into their community, homes and hearts.
All Myk had ever known was a life of warfare and blood...but now he had a chance at peace and happiness and for the first time Myk felt contented.
No longer a slave to his eugenically "induced" state of homocidal rage...he finally knew joy.
He knew however that the Empire would return and once they did, they would destroy the peace loving chumzune tribes.
He protested to the elders and was ultimately told the Jaril's secret...that they were race of powerful force adepts who were once tricked by the darkside and now, who's only power was to see their own death's.
They too knew of the truth in Myk's words but they refused to flee from their land.
The evening of the bombardment, the Chumzune shaman came to Myk in the night and brought his weapons and armor...a gesture expressly forbidden by their culture.
He bade Myk to don his old tools of war and use them to get a group of Jaril children safely away before the attack began.
with heavy heart he did as was asked of him and with the first light of dawn, watched as the entire valley of dunes was reduced to a craters of molten glass from orbit.
Mylar vowed vengence upon any who participated in the attack and infiltrating the Imperial regiments on Jarra, he became "The Rogue Trooper"
Guerilla warfare, escape and evasion tactics or straight up assassination he became a one-man vendetta against the imperial effort....the peace he longed to return to forever taken from him, he surrendered to his clone rage.
Has the distinction of the "highest posted bounty" for capture reward among the crew at 15000 Imperial dataries, dead or alive.
(Warlord Vin Rjen once offered 5000 duranium cubits for Doode once, but as fate would have it he was worth MORE to the Barq's crew "intact"...but that was as close as he EVER came to solving the "Doode problem"!)
Was responsible for rewiring the nav computer of the star destroyers "Punitive" and "Overlord" to collide with the Jaril star upon jumping to hyperspace for their responsibility in murdering his "family" and destroying their sacred dunes.
Unfortunately his clone aggression wasn't satisfied as easily as his thirst for revenge....he could have followed to teachings of the chumzune tribes and followed the path of peace to quench his desire for violence.
He did however do the next best thing.....he became stranded on The Zodiac, joined the Barq's crew and takes it out on Doode instead...so it worked out quite nicely!
Despite his imperial origins and the crew's misgivings, there is no one Captain Daviik would rather have on the "pig" Mr Mylar.
In his own words,Doode bugs him; "like a toothache".
Rarely speaks unless required....comes across as "intense" without saying a single word....has been known to clear entire rooms by simply revealing hardware.
I will post the infamous YM-2800 transports customized stats as interest builds.
Peace & Light (and PUNCH IT!!!)
