- "Whoa! Whoa! What's with the thrusters?"
"We are approaching the insurgent hideouts. Very treacherous." - ―A conductor sharing his nervousness with this new helper
This helper was a human individual who helped operated an Imperial-utilized hovertrain planet of Golak[1] at some point between 18 BBY and 3 BBY.[2] They were startled when the conductor of the train they worked on suddenly increased the thrusters, knocking the helper off their feet. When inquiring why the conductor would push the lever so high, they revealed they were scared of the native Jangori tribe, preparing to pass through a Jangori settlement.
The helper would grow nervous, glancing out at the cliffs above, with their fears would be reinforced shortly thereafter when Jangori insurgents ambushed the train, though the compliment of stormtroopers aboard were able to fight them off long enough for the train and those inside to escape to safety.[1]
