Tuut Orial

Tuut Orial was a male alien merchant who sold flying attack droids on the pirate-infested Port Borgo asteroid during the reign of the New Republic around 9 ABY. The child KB watched Orial advertising the droids to a crowd, and later her companion Wim ran into the vendor while fleeing from a group of pirates.

Biography

The male^[2] alien Tuut Orial worked as a merchant from a stall on Port Borgo, an asteroid frequented by pirates.^[1] Around 9 ABY,^[3] during the reign of the New Republic, Orial was selling flying attack droids from the stall, using some active droids to demonstrate their abilities while calling out to advertise to potential customers. As the child KB joined a crowd of onlookers, the alien leaped up to throw a piece of fruit in the air for one of the droids to slice through.^[1]

An Aqualish then poked one of the droids, causing it to strike them in the eye, and Orial rushed over as the wounded Aqualish collapsed. The merchant then continued hawking their wares as one of the droids briefly chased after KB, before leaving^[1] her^[4] alone once she backed into her friend Fern. Orial was later standing at a table by their stall when KB's companion Wim ran into the merchant and knocked them down while trying to escape from a mob of pirates.^[1]

KB and Fern then confronted the pirates to save Wim and their other companion Neel as Orial slowly got up from the floor. The pirate droid SM-33 then came to the children's aid, punching the pirate Vane back into Orial's stall and also^[1] knocking one of the flying attack droids from the air.^[4] The fight continued by the stall until SM-33 and the children fled, although the pirates eventually captured them.^[1]
