Where's he from? If we're out on the rim (or wherever, really) avoiding Imperial entanglements, Calven's final destination as he fled the core could well have been your character's homeworld (or whichever planet he wound up on in search of ancient treasure...). An initial meeting as rivals both seeking old tech lead to their having to team up against a third faction after the same stuff, and they realised they had more in common than setting them apart.
How's that read to you?

Character Name: Izon Niyav
Class: Soldier
Species: Human
Description:
Izon is 1.7m tall, and weighs 110kg. He has blonde hair and green eyes. He still travels wearing his Imperial flight suit most of the time, although the Imperial insignia has been removed as well as his prior rank. When he is performing a job, he normally wears an old atmospheric breathing mask that has been disabled so that his identity remains unknown.
Background:
He stood there in the Hutt’s chamber waiting for his present employer to arrive. Standing there, Izon couldn’t figure out what had been so important that he be summoned from halfway across the galaxy. As his employer slithered slowly into the room, he watched with mixed feelings. Izon couldn’t understand why this Hutt trusted him so much since he had only begun working for him a couple years earlier. Apparently this matter was of utmost urgency, or at least that’s what the message he had received said. So urgent in fact that he burnt up his Y-Wing’s hyper drive getting to Nar Shaddaa. Not that the fighter was anything special, it’s just that it was the only consistent in his life that he had known since his “awakening”. As Gorga the Hutt began to drone on about the current state of things around the galaxy, Izon began to reminisce on how he got here.
He had happened upon the Y-Wing shortly after he crash-landed on Yavin after the destruction of the Death Star. His TIE fighter was completely destroyed and there was no hope of salvage. Not knowing who he was, or where he was, he began to look for signs of life. He happened upon an abandoned makeshift hanger and found the decrepit star fighter. After some light repair and crossed fingers, he left Yavin and was able to make a blind jump into hyperspace. When he emerged he found himself in another unknown area and quickly surrounded by other ships. Izon had jumped into Hutt space. Close to three years later, he was still working for Gorga, the one who ultimately had say in the sparing of his life. He had given himself a name since he had no memory before his “awakening” on Yavin. He now called himself Izon Niyav for no real reason other than the fact that one of his first sights as he left Yavin was the horizon. As time progressed, he learned that his flight suit meant that he had been a pilot for the Empire and that they had probably wiped his memory through intense training at the academy.
Knowing that there was no chance that he would ever really learn who he was, he decided to start making a life of his own. So here he was listening to his employer, who was finally getting to the point of him being summoned here. Gorga looked at Izon and boomed in Huttese, “Which brings me to you Izon. Captain Solo has been captured by Boba Fett and delivered to my uncle Jabba, therefore he is indisposed of at the moment. However, my uncle would very much like to see his Wookie friend captured as well. I would like you to hunt this Wookie named Chewbacca down and deliver him to me so that I can please my uncle.” With that the Hutt eased back and rested. Izon looked at his employer and thought for a minute. Finally he replied to Gorga in Huttese. “Lord Gorga, I would be happy to hunt this Wookie down for you. There are two problems with this though. One, the hyper drive in my ship finally gave out on the jump to get here. And two, it’s going to cost you since it’s a Wookie, they’re a bit hard to contain when they’re alive.” Gorga’s eyes went wide at the suggestion that this job would cost him more than any other normal job would. After a split second, he began to bellow a deep laugh. “Izon, you speak the truth. I will pay you triple your normal asking price since it will please my uncle greatly. As for your ship, I will do you a favor and scrap it for you. I will provide you with enough credits to allow you to travel on a space liner to the last known position of the Wookie.” Izon bowed and spoke in an even tone. “I shall complete this task you have laid out for me Lord Gorga.” With that he spun around and exited the chamber.
As he walked out of the palace, he thought to himself. So much for my ship, perhaps this little reward will provide me with enough to buy one not so old and musty.’ He proceeded to his ship and gathered his things. Later that evening in his quarters, he received a data chip with his flight information as well as a credit stick. He was to leave in 2 hours aboard a yacht by the name of the Celestial. The last rumored location of this Wookie was on Dantooine.

maddmic, I've only gone over your character briefly but I noticed that you over spent on ability scores. Looks like your total is 34 instead of 32. I'll check the rest of him over later and get back with you if I find anything else that needs to be changed. It would be cool if you got your background up soon too.
Everyone, now that I have all characters, I'll get the game started shortly, probably in the next day or two. Feel free to continue the discussions of "Character Linkage" until then.

From what I understand from the Star Wars database, Ansion is a minor world, where there was a secessionist dispute prior to the clone wars between city-dwelling colonists and plains-based natives (the Alwari?)... I presume the other details of the incident are in The Approaching Storm by Allan Dean Foster.
That being the case, it's a pretty good place to aim for (or at least near to). I was planning on having Calven hail from the Empress Teta system and to get to Ansion from there involves going away from the Core (good) and off any major (read: heavily monitored) trade routes (double plus good).
Might I suggest artifact hunting on Iridonia as the initial meeting? I'm sure if Mickerus is still interested, we could easily have teamed up with his rogue droid to handle the finer negotiation points.

Barry

maddmic, I see that you made the changes to your ability scores. The rest of the character looks good.
Everyone, now that all characters are in, we be starting very soon. For those that don't have backgrounds yet, if you could write up something brief, that would be cool. I expect to get things going by Wednesday night. I'll post a note here when I create the IC forum for the game over in the Playing the Game board.
Looking forward to the game!

First Post
Thumbs up, soldier!
Edit: Heh, my apologies. My enthusiasm for the notion of getting the game rolling has kind of made me skip over several important posts.
As far as working as the negotiator with the locals during the artifact hunting, that's absolutely fine with me. I was probably found in a busy port desperately trying to get the attention of any arrivals to offer my services as a translator... and mostly failing until one of our other PCs runs into me.
