"Sav. I have info."
"What is it, Dex?"
"My contact says they've spotted a ship that belongs to that Niv Drendow guy."
"Your intel is second to none."
"And it looks like he's turned his ship back around."
―Dexter Jettster and Savina Besatrix Malagán[1]

An individual was a contact for the Besalisk Dexter Jettster during the High Republic Era.[1] In 228 BBY[2] Jettster was contacted by his friend Jedi Master[1] Savina Besatrix Malagán[3] who sought the location of the Nihil scientist Niv Drendow Apruk as his ship had two individuals the Jedi Master and[1] her[4] companions—the droid[1] ZZ-10,[5] Jedi Master Arkoff, and the Nihil deserter Maktan Plynt—were looking for. After stating he did not know Apruk, the Besalisk informed Malagán he would put out word for the Nihil to be found.[1]

Not long after, the contact spotted a ship they believed belonged to Apruk, and learned that he was heading back to[1] the Outer Rim[4] planet Banchii and informed Jettster—who had since met up with Malagán and her companions—of their discovery. As the Besalisk informed Malagán about the contact's information, she noted Jettster's info was second to none. Upon fidning out that Apruk was headed back to Banchii, the group also went to Banchii and rescued the individuals they sought.[1]
