Biography
- "A diversion of their own, eh?"
- ―Marchion Ro, realizing the Junk Maven is distracting him
During the time of the High Republic Era, the individual resided on Quantxi, the Junk Moon of Ord Mantell, as a member of the Junk Mavens. Intending to draw the Jedi Order into a trap, members of the Nihil marauder organization, including its leader, Marchion Ro, stationed themselves on Quantxi while sending a diversionary force to attack the Jedi. Along with a female comrade, the Junk Maven approached the Nihil, calling for their attention.[1]
Ro demanded to know what the Junk Maven wanted, and the being insisted that they wished to take no part in the Nihil's galactic conflict. The Junk Maven was distracting the Nihil, however, allowing the individual's companion to escape and make for a nearby communications tower. When the Nihil noticed the other Junk Maven's movement, Ro became aware that it was a diversion, sending the young recruit Krix Kamerat to chase her down. The Junk Maven's companion was able to eventually reach the tower, sending a distress signal that alerted the Jedi to activity on Quantxi.[1]
