Veemoss

Veemoss was a human who was imprisoned by the Galactic Empire on the moon Narkina 5. In the prison, his unit of prisoners constructed complex Imperial machinery by day and at night slept in cells surrounded by electrified flooring. In 5 BBY, Veemoss was killed by the electrified flooring outside his cell, causing his fellow inmates in Unit Five-Two-D to complain about the impact that his death would have.

Biography

Veemoss was a human who,^[2] by 5 BBY,^[1] had been imprisoned in an Imperial prison complex on the moon^[3] Narkina 5. He was assigned to table three of Unit Five-Two-D, the dayshift of room two on Level 5 of the prison. During their twelve-hour shifts, the prisoners constructed^[2] EP-N5 fasteners,^[4] a type of complex Imperial machinery^[5] that would eventually be used as parts for the Imperial Death Star superlaser.^[6] Once the shift was over, they returned to their living quarters, where the floor outside each prisoner's open cell in the cell block was lethally electrified at night. After the cell block lights had been turned off one night^[2] in that year,^[1] Veemoss was killed by the electrified floors after having stood perched at the edge of his cell while breathing heavily and staring at the "hot" floor. His yell as he perished alerted many of the other prisoners in the cell block, who shouted to each other to establish who had died.^[2]

Unsure if he had fallen or purposefully jumped, one prisoner claimed that Veemoss had clearly been slipping recently, but several others were angered by Veemoss's death due to the smell that his body would leave in the block and the fact that table three would become shorthanded. The prison system then detected the disruption of the grid caused by Veemoss's death, and the Imperials ordered the other prisoners back to their beds.^[2] On the next day, table three fell behind on its production numbers until a new prisoner was brought in to replace Veemoss.^[7]

Personality and traits

Veemoss was a lanky^[3] individual who was considered to be tall by his fellow prisoners. At the time of his death, he was bald.^[2]

Equipment

While imprisoned on Narkina 5, Veemoss wore a^[2] paper-thin^[3] white-and-orange prison uniform and no footwear.^[2]
