Major Nico Spavasi

Major Nico Spavasi is the commanding officer of Alliance Special Forces Taskforce Thresher, assigned to the Hoget Sector, and splits the duties of executive officer for Pegasus Base, the command center for Hoget sector. He was born on the Mid Rim jungle world of Ord Negev, and originally served as a mercenary in several units, including Churee's Riflemen and the Silverlight Brigade, before joining the Rebellion.

He is very reluctant to discuss why he chose to join the Alliance, and will only say that there are things that he will not do for money and that the Empire must fall. He is a short, stocky, dark skinned man, who rarely socializes with off-duty personnel except for the members of TF Thresher and the 321st CFG, often playing Table Puck. His troops like and trust him, as he is willing to stick his neck out for them, including having gone out twice to pick up wounded in his first six months with the unit. His knowledge as a survivalist is well respected, and he has contributed to the Rebellion's survival manuals for many worlds and environments.

He typically dresses in camouflage jumpsuits of the vibrant greens, purples and oranges of his homeworld's foliage (unless in the field, in which case, he doesn't "clash" with his surroundings), and sports a thick bushy beard. His dark grey eyes never seem to stop moving, always scanning his surroundings for ambushes and traps. When in the field, he carries a custom built survival kit, a replica Gamorrean duelling knife (which he prefers to a vibroblade, as it has no moving parts), a pouch of grenades, light armour, and the rifle that has served beside him on scores of worlds on dozens of campaigns.
