First Aid 4D, Security 5D, Space Transports Repair 4D,

Special Abilities:
Water Breathing: The Shallitans
are true amphibians. Although they spend most of their time out of
the water, they can still breathe aerated water just as well as
they can breathe air.
Swimming: Shallitans are powerful swimmers, gaining 2D for
every dice put into that skill throughout their careers.
Other Equipment: The flagship of Regin's small fleet,
the Gyrfalcon carries a
large amount of other equipment, including a fully armed and
equipped assault group of 24 men. Regin is a moderately successful
smuggler captain, and can produce just about anything, given enough
time. Both of Regin's other two transport ships, the Rum
Belly and the Beautiful Lady of the Marach Line
(Shalitan Clippers) carry large stores of
equipment of sensitive nature. Regin also owns several snubfighters,
but these tend carry nothing than the bare basics, limited to combat
missions most of the time. The one exception to this rule is the
SuperLaser,Regin's personal Shallitan
hunting craft. He tends to use that craft when he needs
to carry something small and valuable past a large and powerful
force. When away from his ships, Regin travels in medium
landspeeder, the Jungle Dart that carries a fairly large
stock of equipment of various sorts. When on foot, Regin carries
equipment to match his needs.

Clothing:
Regin has hundreds of outfits, that he wears to match
specific occasions. Most typically,he will be seen wearing a
Darmakor forage outfit. That is, grey and brown trousers, baggy,
with large pockets, a similar shirt, and a knee length coat, whose
voluminous billows can conceal almost anything.
Retainers, henchmen, and associates:
Regin is the leader of a small army of smugglers. This army is
composed of twenty three Shallitans, mostly professional smugglers
and asteroid hunters from his home village, four Wookie bounty
hunters, and their human leader that signed on with him, two
Sulustans, two Manrats, and a large and
irritable Bathcron Troll. Regin is also a member of a New Republic
operative group that includes Aiera Ap
Lyffed, Lyon Destrier, Lugruf
CiKoba, and Manson Briggs.
Common haunts and habitues:
Now that he has arrived at the Yaeger Sector, Regin and the
Gyrfalcon have been moving around with some degree of
rapidity, trying to find a suitable base of operations in the
sector. Riyiur is a favorite haunt
of the Gyrfalcon, both because of it's climate,
and because that's where Regin can get the best avaliable
information about the sector from intenerant pilots.
History:
Regin was the son of Rolan D'E'rque, one of the many
Shallitans who turned their hand and craft to the art of smuggling.
Some of Regin's earliest memories included clinging to the railing
of his father's clipper, the Little Man, while they skipped
through the edge of asteroid field ahead of a customs cruiser.
Rolan was not a particularly ambitious man, and was content to make
a modest living off of running low cost items from one world to
another. The one thing that Rolan had a true passion for was
Mynock hunting, and he took great pride in his sporting ship, the
Trueshot. When the New Order came to power, the small time
operators, like Rolan, found themselves under much more intense
government scrutiny than they had before. Rolan had no interest in
working that hard, and sold the Little Man to a friend, and
retired on the proceeds.
Regin had been counting on taking over the ship from his
father, and after it was sold, he took out the Trueshot, and
pulled in the Rabmor, a derelict Old Republic Light Customs
Cruiser. The cruiser had been abandoned in orbit of Kroncomb, a
planet of the Shallitan system that was almost englobed by an
asteroid field. Regin expected his father to be furious, as he had
taken the sporting ship through the most hazardous conditions
possible, and after he pulled the cruiser out of Kroncomb's gravity
well, he had a friend take the Trueshot back, while he hired
a crew of Shallitans, and headed out to the galaxy at large, to
embark on a far more ambitious career than his father had ever
dreamed of.
At first, the group used the Customs Ship to stop freighters
for "inspection", making sure to impound any valuable, easily
resalable items. This ruse lasted until the Rabmor became
known as a pirate, and he found himself hunted both by the Empire
and the local pirates, who found his poaching to be offensive.
Regin and company then installed a completely new transponder
(taken from another cruiser that had recently fallen into Shallitan
hands). This proved sufficient to fool Imperial ships, but not the
pirates, who had a far more intimate knowledge of the ship, as it
had stopped several of their freighters and impounded their cargo.
In a last, desperate move, the group disguised themselves as
an Imperial crew, and after shooting up their cruiser pretty bad,
limped into an Imperial shipyard, and demanded a new ship.
Confirmation of their identities was a process that was supposed to
take several days, but Regin did convince the harbor-master to let
him see his new ship, a brand new Imperial Customs Guardian Light
Cruiser. That night, Regin and his crew snuck into the ship, and
blasted loose of the imperial space dock. They managed to shoot
down several of the TIE fighters chasing them, when the
Rabmor got hit by a stray shot. The old cruiser went up
like a torch, taking half the docking station with it. Now,
instead of being inventive and troublesome criminals, they had
become rebel saboteurs, and the Empire hunted them accordingly.
The Gyrfalcon, as the new ship was christened, made it's way
out of the sector as fast as it could, with a Star Destroyer on
it's tail.
Despite his reluctance to get involved in politics, Regin had
no choice at this point but to join the rebellion. He did not have
the resources to survive alone in the face of an Imperial assault,
and he was pretty sure that they wouldn't accept a polite apology
and their ship back as sufficient reparation. Besides, he already
had it in with the Rebels, as news of the blown spacedock would
have certainly reached them. Passing it off as an act of rebellion
rather than an unfortunate accident was easy enough, and Regin soon
found himself a commissioned officer of the rebellion. Rebel Techs
repaired the Gyrfalcon, and made the first of what was to be
a long
series of modifications to that craft.
The team that Regin was to command included almost all of his
old friends (the three most talented were assigned to other areas
of the rebellion), Aiera Ap Lyffed, Manson Briggs, Lugruf CiKoba,
and Nidona El-Afaren. Nidona was killed during a mission in the
Goribar Plantations of Rithos, but the rest stuck together
throughout the rest of the years of the rebellion, though official
command of the group (but not the ship) was shifted to Manson
Briggs, after his actions at Alarn Backur. After the Rebellion
became the New Republic, Regin resigned his commission, and
although he still maintained close ties to his former associates,
he turned his full attention to smuggling. Mainly to and from
Imperial space, but not scrupling to nip a bit from the New
Republic, when he thinks that he'll get away with it.
When Regin heard the news of the Yaeger sector, he immediately
offered to ferry the group there. He sees unlimited profit in this
new patch of space, and is seriously considering moving his entire
operation into this sector.
Personality:
Regin is a reluctant hero, who finds himself repeatedly saving
the universe from the Empire when all he wants to do is open a new
smuggling run or two, and retire to an executive position, perhaps
branching out to control some local loan sharking, gambling, and
prostitution. He has become known as somewhat of a hero of the
Rebellion, and he does not scruple to take advantage of that
reputation to get a cargo or two through customs, or to get a
planetary governor to sign shipping contracts. Still, he does have
a great deal of loyalty to his friends, and has been known to forgo
large sums of money to save their hides. He doesn't scruple to
take advantage of those occurrences either, and will use his
friends and New Republic diplomatic pouches to cart illegal cargos
where they bring the highest prices. All in all, Regin is likable,
but thoroughly corrupt, and tends to have a corrupting influence on
any he comes in contact with.
