Sullustan Male "Tech" [Asok]

This is my first request so please correct me if I'm doing something wrong. This request also isn't really pressing so I don't care if it takes a year or a week or an hour to be finished.

So to the request. I was looking across the galleries for a Sullustan and wasn't pleased. Sullustans are very few in numbers here for a pretty common species and nearly all of them here are Jedi. Now that the requests are up I thought I'd request one.

My request is for a character I recently made named Juem Moplin. He is a Sullustan male who grew up on a small, privatly owned space station. The space station was only visited by a few spacers who were very loyal. Juem was learning to become the communications tech as an "apprentice" to a Wookiee Clone Wars veteren.

But the Empire did what it does best and took the station over after driving all of the customers off. Juem went down to the moon that orbited the same planet that the station orbited and started to intercept the transmissions in and out with what he learned from the Wookiee. He managed to get the messages to the Rebels and they eventually sent a strike force to take out the base and rescue Juem. He discovered that he was feeding the Rebels false info and most of his contacts (who were his friends from the station) had been arrested. He is now going off to boot camp for the Rebel Army.

So what I really want is a skinny Sullustan. Otherwise I'm open to ideas for his pose and the setting. I've been throwing around the ideas of either him staking out on the planet, in boot camp, or on the station. Idealy he'd be tinkering with some sort of communication divice, either a scanner like the one Han uses in ESB or working on a panal in the station. I have a whole page background written up and stats (SAGA) if you need more information.

Thanks for your time,

Yoink! ( in the words of Hish )

Quick question: what is the planet like? (foresty, desert, ice...?)
I have a picture in my head already, and I want to put it on paper!

Okay I have the full background first...

Juem Moplin
Juem was born to the Sullustan proprietor of the Moplin Trade Station, a small repair station orbiting the Mid Rim gas giant Crollare. The station was unacknowledged by most of galaxy and had a modestly sized group of loyal clients. It was into this small tight-knit community that Juem was born.

Throughout his childhood, Juem had very few friends his own age. Being the only child on the entire station, Juem soon found ways to entertain himself. Juem could always be found tagging along with one of the technician repairing some obscure operating system or sitting with a lonely spacer in the small bar being taught the art of Sabacc. The residents and clients soon got used to the kid's presence and more then a few began bringing young Juem gifts from their travels and teaching him their native languages.

As with most children, Juem began to latch on to certain individuals more then others. Juem became particularly good friends with the old Wookiee communications technician Talwagrazar, or “Uncle Tal”. Uncle Tal was a veteran from the Clone Wars who fought on from Kashyyyk's forest floor even after the planet was enslaved using a small communications device to scramble the slaver's transmissions resulting in devastating effects. Juem had always been awed by the old Wookiee's stories and once Juem was old enough to understand, Uncle Tal began teaching Juem his skills. Soon Juem was encrypting and decrypting messages like a pro and even was able to decrypt some of the Imperial transmissions that came through the system.

Everything wasn't perfect though. Soon the Empire began to impose more and more restrictions on traders and independent space stations. The old customs officer for the system was finally retired after 760 years of service and replaced with an experienced officer, who had already “fixed” multiple sectors, and a respectable fleet. More and more Imperial convoys began coming through. Before long even the most loyal clients were beginning to scout out alternate routes. The last proverbial nail was when the Empire established a garrison on the Crollare's only moon with an atmosphere. After that, not even a mynock would enter the system.

If sealing the station's fate wasn't enough, the Empire wasn't done yet. About two standard months after the base was established the Empire commandeered the Station. Uncle Tal was arrested and the Moplin family was arrest for housing a fugitive of the Empire. Fortunately, Juem was allowed to leave and hitched a ride with one of the technicians. Juem managed to convince the tech to drop him off on the moon below with enough supplies to last him a couple months and a small, long-range communications device.

Juem set up a camp in a cave and began to decrypt as many Imperial transmissions from the base as possible. Each time he managed to decrypt a transmission, he would re-encrypt it with an old code that Uncle Tal taught him. Each message he would then forward to a different one of his old spacer friends with instructions to send it out like a distress signal in deep space with hope of having it intercepted by the Rebellion.

Soon signs of Juem's success was becoming clear. Convoys consisted of more and more military ships and approach vectors were changed more and more often. Just as Juem's last supplies were running out, an incoming transmission came to Juem's transmitter. That night, Juem watched from the top of his cave as chaos erupted throughout the base. Building after building went up in flames as the Rebel strike team raided the base. Just as the last building exploded, a purple flare went up from the base. Juem fired his flare and was picked up by the Rebel's ship on it's way out.

The Rebels debriefed him over his first real meal in months. Apparently Juem's encryption was cracked after the first months and false information had been fed to him since and at least half of his contacts had been arrested. All was not lost though. The location of the base had been discovered and its importance was evident. They assured him that his work was useful and his skill showed promise. Once they reached the fleet, Juem volunteered to help in anyway he could. The Alliance was in desperate need of ground forces and Juem was sent off to basic training.

Second I'll answer your question. The planet your thinking of could be ethier the moon he hung out on or the Gas Giant that the station orbits. As for the Gas Giant it could be any color, I don't care. The moon I imagined as no atmosphere and a rocky, dark stone environment. Kinda like Pluto. If you were going to draw a background having the base in the distance would be cool.

Thanks again.

Well, by no atmosphere I ment no blue sky or the like. The sky would just be the stars. So there is oxygen but just no thick atmosphere. I did take some time to come up with some pseudo science behind it if you'd like to hear. I was thinking vents that emited oxygen would provide the air for the environment. Things wouldn't be that cold because the rocks are very good conductors that can hold heat well enough to keep the area around the ground very warm despite the planets cold looking rocks.
