Varmik[2] was near-feral subhumanoid Hassk thug. Together with their two siblings, frequented Takodana Castle and often itched for trouble. Varmik carried a battered VT-33d blaster pistol.[1] In 34 BBY,[3] the the triplets were present at Takodana Castle when the smuggler Han Solo entered with the scavenger Rey, the former stormtrooper Finn and the Astromech droid BB-8. Not long after the four newcomers arrived, many of the patrons in the castle rushed outside to witness the First Order destroying the Hosnian system with their Starkiller Base superweapon. Kanata's castle was then attacked and destroyed by the forces of the First Order.[4]
