Dewan

Dewan, known affectionately to his friends as Stout, was a Wookiee warrior,and smuggler, who fought in the Clone Wars, and the latter part of the Galactic Civil War. He was from the planet Kashyyyk and became a Wookiee military leader. During the Clone Wars, he fought along Wookiee forces during the Battle of Kashyyyk alongside the Grand Army of the Republic, led by Jedi Master Yoda. He fought valiantly, though the Republic defense was struggling and was suffering heavy casualties. During the battle, one of the last ones of the war, Yoda's clone troopers received Order 66 from Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. Assuming Jedi Master Yoda had been killed, Dewan, along with the wookiees that fought beside him, surrendered to the Clone army who had turned.

For the next several years, Dewan was a slave to the Empire. Forced to use his strength to build monuments for a government he hated, Dewan grew angrier and angrier every day. He soon became another captive of Trandoshan slavers, and was involved in the famous wookiee Chewbacca's revolution. Chewbacca convinced the other Wookiees that it was better to die a free Wookiee than be concerned about honor as a slave. With help from the now allied Wookiees, Chewie fashioned a fusioncutter, cut open their prison, and took over the ship. After parting ways with Chewbacca, Dewan and his cousin Ungyyl decided to try smuggling and eventually became tied up with Mikey the Hutt, doing jobs for whatever credits they could get.

Dewan and Ungyyl joined the Condor Crew, lead by Mikey when Ungyyl's good friend Yorosha Hai was killed by Bumba the Hutt. Ungyyl reached out to Mikey looking for answers and was invited to help Mikey kill Bumba and get revenge for Yorosha. Eventually, Mikey gave the Condor Crew a mission to find Aal Ossiss who was a male Skakoan and the last surviving member of the Techno Union.
