Tri-cable

Tri-cable was a type of cable used in starships. In 34 ABY, the racer Kazuda Xiono was told by Jarek Yeager, his employer, that he would require thirty spools of tri-cable to fix the racing starfighter Fireball. Together with the mechanic Neeku Vozo, Xiono visited the Office of Acquisitions to acquire the needed materials. Though Flix and Orka—the shop's proprietors—refused to give him the parts if he could not pay, they ultimately gave him some second-hand materials in exchange for a gorg for lunch. Tri-cable was also listed on materials lists stored on datapads kept by the mechanic Tamara Ryvora and the Office of Acquisitions.

Description

Tri-cable was type of cable that could be used to repair starships, including racing starfighters.^[1]

History

While in Jarek Yeager's Repair Station on the supertanker fuel depot Colossus^[1] in 34 ABY,^[4] the racer Kazuda Xiono was informed by the mechanic Jarek Yeager, his employer, that he would need thirty spools of tri-cable to restore the racing starfighter Fireball to flying condition. As Yeager continued listing materials from his datapad, Xiono's excitement about the project dampened. The racer Torra Doza, who was visiting the repair station, expressed her surprise at the amount of materials needed to fix the Fireball.^[1]

Afterward, Xiono and the mechanic Neeku Vozo visited the Colossus's Office of Acquisitions to acquire the needed parts, including the thirty spools of tri-cable, and the shop's proprietors—Flix and Orka—began gathering them from around the store. However, they abruptly stopped when Xiono mentioned he could not pay for the items, ceasing before they had read off tri-cable from the list. Ultimately, as a favor, the proprietors gave Xiono and Vozo an assortment of second-hand parts in exchange for bringing them a gorg for lunch. Afterward, the pair kept the gorg as a pet because they had already eaten. Xiono and Vozo then used the parts to repair the Fireball.^[1]

Later that year,^[5] the mechanic Tamara Ryvora worked to repair the Fireball.^[2] She^[1] kept a list of parts on her datapad notated in the Aurebesh writing system, which called for thirty-eight spools of tri-cable. Another datapad used to document the Office of Acquisitions' inventory also listed nine spools of tri-cable.^[2] While infiltrating the supertanker fuel depot Titan by posing as a First Order technician^[6] not long afterward,^[7] Xiono carried a datapad listing open work orders, one of which called for restocking spools of tri-cable.^[6]
