Details
Born 30 years ago on Phantine to a blue/green "mixed race" couple (so Nim a little of both), with a large extended family, spread out across the planet, the system, and more (as is typical of Duros). His father, Fal Zholwa, owned a scrap/junk-yard, mostly catering to speeders & small-craft, but dreamed of a shipbuilding enterprise like the Old World. Nim worked in the yard since he was able to wield tools, tearing down vehicles & pulling electronics. "Pa" had ties to a local gang (Ref:JWick) and the scrapyard often served as a chop-shop. As a result, Nim grew up in criminal underworld, and from an early age, did thieving on the side, both for himself and for credit.
Nim recently got pinched by NovaSec as a result of a heist-gone-wrong, and did time in the mines/etc. During his incarceration, his father was killed by Imperial officers while participating in a riot believed to have been agitated by the gangs in response to recent crackdowns on organized crime. "Ma," Joomena, took over running the yard in Pa's absence. Nim was released from prison after ~2 years, and is now working in the yard, trying to keep his head down.
