- Permissions: N/A
- Links: Appears in the thread "An Unexpected Delay"
- Age: 57
- Force Sensitivity: Non-Force User
- Species: Human (Naboo)
- Appearance: A large and fairly robust man in his fifties, Zabka's messy hair is graying at the temples. His full beard is likewise streaked with gray. Bushy brows arch over age-hooded brown eyes and an imperial nose. He looks like what he is - a nobleman by birth whose boisterous personality and sensualist persuasion led him to spend his youth as a wandering swashbuckler. Rings glitter on his thick fingers, and his clothing, while not flashy, betrays his wealth.
- Name: Captain Zabka Rand; "Uncle Zabka"
- Loyalties: Droxine Rand ; the Rand family in general
- Wealth: As a senior member of the Naboo aristocracy, all of his wealth comes from old money or from his own personal investments. He is fairly rich, but not obscenely so, and his lifestyle has become considerably simpler and more spartan as he has grown older.
- Notable Possessions: An old freighter, the Odyssey, is his pride and joy.
- Skills: A spacer and pilot, he knows his way around the galaxy and around a starship.
- Personality: Though he has a gentle paternal side to him, Zabka is mostly known for his brazenness. The man has no inside voice. Every other sentence is SHOUTED, and his lungs have a seemingly endless capacity. He can be quiet and subtle when necessary, but he generally prefers to be as loud and rambunctious as possible. His energy will rub off on people like a virus, or it will exhaust and annoy them. Either way, he's not someone you easily forget, nor is he someone you necessarily want to upset, if only to avoid hearing his tremendous voice raised to its maximum volume.
- Weapon of Choice: Gamorrean cleaver
- Combat Function: Hack and slash. He's a madman when threatened, a bull in a china shop. Although his enemies will probably be more frightened by his incredibly loud voice and constant shouting. However, his methods are pretty haphazard and blunt - a foe with more tact could probably incapacitate him fairly easily.

- Spacer Background
- Boisterous Personality

Born into the Rand family on Naboo, Zabka was afflicted with a desire for adventure. He spent his youth as a spacer, gathering quite a bit of experience and knowledge, but his propensity toward gambling frequently got him into trouble. Now well into middle age, he has long since left those days behind him and returned to Naboo to live out his days in peace and quiet.
Zabka has become rather attached to his niece Droxine. The young woman has recently expressed her desire to travel the galaxy, and Zabka couldn't resist the opportunity to set foot outside his homeworld again. Naboo is one of the safest and most beautiful places in the galaxy, true, but it can be terribly droll at times. Might as well kill two birds with one stone and take Droxine with him on one last trip. Besides, she's young and inexperienced - she needs his guidance and protection.
