Valik
Professor of Alchemy
Though Valik was considerably more freelance than he used to be, ultimately when governments were made and alliances were drawn, Valik called the Fringe his home. Moreso because he liked their leader than anything else, but also because they had a wide variety of interesting species and cultures, unaffected by traditional 'modernization', both in a social and technological sense.
The classic example used to be the Ssi-Ruuk, a species that developed widely different stun technology and had ways of technologically sucking the life out beings. That place had recently been taken however, by the Yuuzhan Vong, a culture that did not use technology, but rather grew it biologically. Rather effectively, if the rumors were true, as apparently the species had created materials resistant to lightsabers and creatures capable of traversing hyperspace while housing their species.
Quite simply, the opportunities proved too much for Valik. A new scientific field to explore, a new army to try to revolutionize. Thus, he assembled some men of various different positions and titles and brought himself to the Yuuzhan Vong world Zenoma Sekot, to try to learn the secrets of 'Shaping', and to try to figure out what new toys he could put in the right, or perhaps the wrong, hands.
