Backstory:

Arokev Valehar was born on Nar Shaddaa and crime is all he has ever known, fighting for every scrap of life. The Smuggler’s Moon wasn’t a pleasant place to try and grow up. As far as Arokev is concerned he doesn’t have any parents, and that was fine by him. He grew up on the crime ridden planet to become completely self-reliant, having to take care of himself both with finances and rather unpleasant people. Arokev left that planet as soon as someone would take him off of it. He ended up signing onto a pirate gang at a young age. During his time with the pirates he discovered his love for credits. He also learned how to use weapons and how to repair ships. He soon became enthralled in every weapon he could get his hands on, from vibro-blades to heavy blasters. He wanted to know everything about any killing device he could. And he got many opportunities to get his hands on a variety of weapons aboard the pirate vessel.

Eventually that pirate gang got killed by a rival gang, only a few survived the encounter and Arokev was one of them. Now a young adult he signed up with a mercenary group. He disliked the group immediately. They were more disciplined than his last gig and he constantly got in trouble with the leadership. But the organization’s command saw Arokev’s certain obsession with deadly objects. He was kept on board to clean and handle their blasters. The boy did like how the mercenaries kept their weapons in the best of shape, he appreciated it. So with this new appreciation he kept his head down and did his best to shut his mouth. Eventually Arokev got very hot headed and was kicked out of the organization.

So tired of being a part of a cog in some machine, he went freelance. Selling his services to whoever would buy them. He absolutely loved being his own boss, he loved being able to control his own flow of credits. Even if that flow went straight into booze, drugs, and gambling. While he was in this phase of his life he completed a hodgepodge of odd jobs. He did mercenary work, assassin work, and the occasional bounty hunting. Though his love for weapons never left him, he always seemed to have extra credits laying around to purchase some blaster he didn’t need. Eventually he realized he could just devote his life to his obsession as he had already started collecting. Some old contacts from his time as a pirate and mercenary got him involved with others who wanted to make some credits. Eventually Arokev and his small crew made a few high priced deals and were swimming in credits. Arokev used these paychecks to purchase a Gozanti-class armed transport. As a pirate those ships were a pain in the rear. They were well armored and difficult to board. Though the ship lacked in speed it made up for in offensive/defense, equipped with four laser cannons, two quad laser cannons, and a single proton torpedo launcher. It was nicknamed the Coyote. Through time the Coyote would be retrofitted with a faster hyperdrive.

The Coyote acts as Arokev’s mobile headquarters and base of operations. Arokev is a full-fledged black arms dealer that occasionally sells hard to find items that don’t kill. He prefers not to take sides during conflicts but has an innate trust issue with jedi and the government they defend due to his criminal nature. If Arokev’s credits don’t go towards his operations they tend to go towards alcohol and other ‘necessities’.
