Spilferithimus-narlamos

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Spilferithimus-narlamos, often called Spilfer, was a blue-furred Squib diplomat. Spilfer wore variegated clothing embellished with numerous collection pouches, which he used to hold any items that caught his eye. His diplomatic status was denoted by his ceremonial Fizz-Pop Cap (with foil cluster) and allowed him to sign treaties and accords on behalf of the entire Squib species. Spilfer carried a small, toy-like blaster and a large claw-like contraption that he used to grab pieces of garbage. His role in destroying the Ugor-controlled Paradise system and in forging a pact between the Squibs and the Rebel Alliance made him a hero of the Squib people.

[edit] Role in the Paradise affair

Sometime shortly after the Battle of Yavin, the Squib king, Ebareebaveebeedee, charged Spilferithimus-narlamos to lead a group of Rebel Alliance operatives through the Paradise system (as Special-Ambassador-to-big-guys-who-are-not-Imperials) and obtain a "quest object". In exchange, the Squibs would provide the coordinates of the Imperial armored transport Elusive, which had information that could compromise Rebel operations in several sectors. Spilfer and the Squibs neglected to mention that the system consisted mostly of garbage (including pieces of the destroyed Death Star), that the "quest object" was a gravity-well projector that kept the system from complete collapse, and that the Ugors controlled Paradise and considered it to be one of their holiest shrines.

Spilferithimus-narlamos proved a valuable guide, if a bit flighty. At first, he hid his identity from the Ugors by disguising himself with a tech suit and oversized blast helmet. He then negotiated a bribe for the Ugor tax chaplain, GrrKack, of a mere 12 credits; however, when he went to shake the Ugor's pseudopod, GrrKack noticed the Squib's blue fur, and the Rebels were forced to pay an exorbitant sum for bringing a "demon of a Squib" into the holy system.

Once inside a particularly large piece of Death Star wreckage, Spilfer led the Rebels further on, collecting anything that caught his fancy along the way with a large garbage grabber. Spilfer and the Rebels eventually reached the "quest object" (but not before a particularly nasty dianoga nearly ate the Squib). The Rebels managed to extricate the gravity-well projector, slip it past a band of Jabba the Hutt's pirates led by Teehl, and bring it back to their shuttle. This threw the delicate gravitational balance of the Paradise system off kilter, turning it into chaotic field of asteroids and debris. Spilferithimus-narlamos again proved his utility by manning the shuttle's tractor beams and using his expertise to deflect dangerous pieces of garbage from striking the vessel.

Back on the Squib Momship, Spilfer and the Squibs exchanged the coordinates of the Elusive for the gravity-well projector (an item for which they had no other use than to bother their rivals, the Ugors). After more spirited haggling, Ebareebaveebeedee declared a pact of mutual support between the Squibs and the Rebel Alliance, Spilferithimus-narlamos attesting.
