Bio
The planet of Saleucami hosted many different peoples, such as Eliku’s Twi’lek family. The green-skinned Twi’lek girl grew up in Taleucama, her parents both managers of a small dry cleaning business. Eliku saw many spacers come through, getting their sweaty leather jackets cleaned…not really. In fact, in all her time helping her parents in the dry cleaner’s business, she only ever met one pilot. That one proved enough to sweep her off her feet: his dashing smile, suave style, self-debasing (human) sense of humor, and good hygiene all attracted the young woman. She didn’t bother asking her parents’ permission, she just left. Eliku accompanied Stuvar Hike on his spacer adventures around the galaxy in his modest freighter. Were they in love? Sorta – Stuvar did make her earn her keep around the ship, cleaning and helping to fix things. Eventually, she even learned how to fly, and worked her way up to first mate.
Their adventures in truth were mild: the occasional blockade run maybe. She learned quickly that Stuvar’s transport business wasn’t strictly legal. Unfortunately, Stuvar’s friend list thinned and Hutt enforcers caught up. The smuggler was slain on Makeb. Eliku, on the ship orbiting the tumultuous planet, rabbited. The rest of the crew nearly mutinied, so with quick thinking, she lured them onto the escape pod and then jettisoned them to the surface of Jakku. Eliku sped off and picked up where her dead lover/employer left off, using his connections. His loss initially shocked her, but she shocked herself when she realized how little she cared for such sentiments. Such detached professionalism served Eliku well in her work ahead.
