[edit] Biography
Jinkins was originally an engineer with the Nubian Design Collective, and the lead engineer on the Scurrg H-6 bomber, a prototype model designed for the Naboo Space Fighter Corps. After the Naboo rejected the design, the Nubians scrapped the project, though Jinkins was not about to let his work go to waste. He arranged a deal with Nym, who stole the prototype and took Jinkins along with it.
Now part of the Lok Revenants, Jinkins served as sensor and scanner operator aboard the newly-christened Havoc, and Nym considered his new comrade to be the best engineer in the galaxy, rivaled only by the shipwrights of Charros IV. Though Jinkins worked aboard the Havoc, he often piloted his own vessel, the Freefall. Jinkins also engaged in patrols around Nym's hideout on Lok, though he was almost killed during one such scout mission that coincided with a full-scale invasion by the Trade Federation. The Revenants fled Lok, but continued to harry the Federation for the next decade.
Jinkins remained in Nym's service, helping liberate Nym's crew from the infamous Station 1138, and later aided in the fall of Nod Kartha and the destruction of Cavik Toth's Hex fleet. During the Galactic Civil War, Jinkins served as Nym's chief lieutenant, after the pirate took control of Lok.
[edit] Behind the scenes
If you fail your mission to save Jinkins during the assault on Nym's base in Star Wars: Starfighter, Jinkins is killed during the invasion, though the game continues without him. Since the character reappears in the sequel, this part of the game is non-canonical. It is also worth noting that in the first he speaks with an American accent, while in the sequel he speaks with an English accent, voiced by Ross King.
In Star Wars: Starfighter, Jinkins's name is misspelled as "Jenkins."
