Biography
Edit

He joined the Royal Naboo Security Forces and served as a Lieutenant in Bravo Squadron in the years prior to and during the Invasion of Naboo.
Arven Wendik was known as an expert in capital ship capabilities, and many anti-warship tactical strategies were credited to him. In 32 BBY, he flew as Bravo 3 during the battle against the Droid Control Ship in orbit over Naboo, and ultimately survived the battle. During the battle, he flew the N-1 starfighter Bravo 3.
During the Galactic Civil War around 1 ABY, Arven could be found in the city of Dee'ja Peak on Naboo. By then, he was a sympathizer to the Rebellion and held a rank of Captain. During his stay in Dee'ja Peak, he employed a spacer to help him with a number of jobs. The first task he gave the spacer was to deliver forged Imperial permits to Alowi Fintz to allow for the shipment of medical supplies. The spacer succeeded, but Arven soon had a more urgent job for the spacer. Arven learned that a Rebel pilot named Grel Rommo was shot down by Imperial fighters. Arven, hoping that Grel bailed out in time, tasked the spacer with locating the Rebel pilot. The spacer found Grel, but was suddenly ambushed by three stormtroopers. Fortunately for Grel, the spacer succeeded in killing them all. Grel was then escorted safely back to Arven.
Though Arven was grateful, he still had a few more tasks for the spacer. An informant named Needia Solum was being captured by the Empire to be brought to an Inquisitor for interrogation. Arven needed the spacer to rescue Needia in a daring operation. When the spacer asked how dangerous it would be, Arven claimed it would be very dangerous. Though the spacer had to dispatch three stormtroopers and an Imperial Warrant Officer, the spacer managed to rescue Needia and bring her back safely to Dee'ja Peak. Arven had one last job for the spacer, much bigger than before. He needed the spacer to destroy a series of noise detectors in the wilderness. These devices, which were planted by the Empire, were capable of sensing incoming transports. Though the job was dangerous, the spacer likely succeeded.
Behind the scenes
Edit
Arven Wendik was portrayed by Clarence Smith in The Phantom Menace.
In the MMORPG Star Wars Galaxies, Arven Wendik appeared as a Non-Player Character (NPC) in Dee'ja Peak. He held the rank of Captain, and gave players a series of quests that worked against the Empire. However, the quests were eventually disabled by the developers, most likely because they were bugged. For example, it was impossible for players to complete the final quest which involved destroying noise detectors in the wilderness.
In the game, Arven had an appearance that somewhat differed from his portrayal in the movie. In the game, Arven had a lighter skin tone.
