Biography

Prior to 10 BBY,[2] Ravora was a waitress at Bell's Cantina, a cantina and veteran spacers' hangout on the Gus Treta Inner-System Market Station. The space station was located within the Core Worlds' Corellian system, and orbited Gus Treta, one of the planet Corellia's moons. However, Ravora realized the value of information, and left her job to become an amateur infochant. Ravora began trading secrets and eventually amassed a small fortune. With her newfound wealth, Ravora returned and purchased Bell's Cantina, where she remained the owner for over a decade. Ravora gained the trust of the spacers that frequented the establishment, and worked for a Hutt named Gormo Vosadii Grasso, who owned the station, and ran it as a legitimate business.[1]

Personality and traits

Liddy Ravora was able to gain the trust of many spacers, and was know to help them find work when unemployed. Her first loyalties lied with her highest paying customer, who was generally Gormo the Hutt. She was known to be particularly charming and cunning, and knew the value information could have.[1]

Skills and abilities

Ravora was trained in deception and negotiation, and was particularly skilled in perception and surveillance. Despite this, she had relatively average agility, strength, and intellect, and had no extremely outstanding talents or abilities.[1]

Equipment

Ravora carried a short range hold-out blaster. She also owned an encrypted datapad and a comlink.[1]

  2. The New Essential Guide to Characters establishes that Wedge Antilles was seventeen years old when the partial destruction of the Gus Treta Inner-System Market Station took place. Since he was born in 21 BBY, according to StarWarsDotComBlogsLogoStacked Major Character Birth Years on Keeper of the HolocronLeland Chee's StarWars.com Blog (original site is defunct), the destruction took place in 4 BBY. Suns of Fortune states that the destruction happened four years prior, so the book's perspective is in 0 BBY. The book states that she purchased the Cantina over a decade ago. Therefore, she must have worked there prior to 10 BBY.
