History
Ssskt’s life began as nothing but a simple lava-farmer upon the molten surface of Mustafar. Falling into the lot of the average southern worker, toiling in the great boiling rivers of his homeworld. Utterly devoted to his work, even through injury and accident though the great dangers that came with working on the manufacturing plants of Mustafar.
In time the Mustafarian’s prowess for piloting would show itself - beginning only with the repulsor controlled heat-craft that filled the toil of his homeworld. In time, his abilities would reach out further to flying snubfighters for the regional government of Mustafar in the defense of the molten world. This would inevitably lead Ssskt very briefly into conflict with the Sith Order as Mustafar fell into the vast dominion of the growing Sith Order. While a capable pilot, Ssskt was no match for the armadas of the Empire and would be shot down above his home. Scarred and beaten down, though far from defeated. Mustafar would fall quickly, and as hands changed. Ssskt quickly changed his own allegiances, even despite his injuries. It was simply the way of things. No longer a defender of Mustafar, he would become a warrior of the Sith and their vast armies gladly and graciously.
In penance, he would fly for the Armadas of the Empire. The brutish devotion of Ssskt would lead him naturally into the life of a bomber pilot, without hesitation he would rain hellfire upon whatever target the Empire deemed unworthy of continued existence - even at great harm to himself. Which would lead to more than a handful of maimings throughout his career. Yet he would rise each time, for duty and honor compelled the insectoid. This foolhardy devotion to his masters - leaving him unburdened by the infighting that plagued the Sith left him the equivalent of a living cudgel that could be slammed against a foe with little worry of there being any misgivings in the Mustafarian. This nigh stupid loyalty proved to be the greatest boon for the Mustafarian’s career, as he would become the first of a Sith-Imperial project to create a mixed air-ground special forces unit that would be known as -
Umbra Squadron
Dubbed Umbra-1, Ssskt was mobilized in combination with other various Imperial starfighter elements to create a flexible mixed fighter wing that could be deployed against any Imperial threat where the deployment of full Sith resources would be unnecessary. Effectively, the custodian of the Sith-Imperial aerial cleanup crew.

Physical Description
- Ssskt fits the rather common description of a Southern Mustafarian, a short but incredibly dense and muscled alien born of the Lava fields and the toil of mining. Yet, through his long years he has been maimed by the long tours of duty in service to his planet - which then evolved into service into the wider Sith Order. Portions of his body have been lost to both crash and lava alike and been replaced by the certainty of steel, his lower left leg, right arm, and a portion of his face have all been replaced by cybernetics.
Personality and Beliefs
- Ssskt is a rather dull man, heavily focused on his duties to his masters with very little actual ambitions to rise to the top - an oddity among the ranks of the Sith, if there is a job to be done he will do so with a metaphorical smile on his insectoid face. This unquestioning loyalty to leadership makes him a cruel warrior on the battlefield, as Ssskt ultimately represents the desires and morality of those whom he serves at the current moment. As his current leaders are Sith, the cruelties of the Sith are now imposed upon all those that are deemed targets. This devotion to the chain of command leaves him heavily focused on the bureaucratic side of the happenings of the Galaxy - the idea of Ssskt operating without the proper forms is a frustrating and miserable thought. A rare enjoyer of the red tape that fills the governments of the Galaxy.
Strengths
- Heat Resistant
- Mustafarians have a natural heat resistance, letting Ssskt “run his ship hot” without too much fear of further injury.
- Blaster Resistance
- Being a Mustafrian offers Ssskt a bit of natural protection against blasters on his skin, letting him have a slight edge in a straight firefight allowing him to take one more blow or so than his Sith-Imperial fellows
Weaknesses
- Hard Headed
- Ssskt believes in total completion of the mission: meaning that retreat is rarely on the table when dealing with the foes of the Empire.
- Duty and Honor
- In a land of subterfuge and backstabbing like that of the dominion of the Sith, Ssskt stands as an honorable warrior that believes heavily in the chain of command: the machinations of politics are beyond him. All that matters is the mission and the completion of it to the letter.
