Unidentified Bith scientist A male Bith who worked as a scientist was present on Nal Hutta ' s moon , Nar Shaddaa , during the final days of the Dark Wars in 3951 BBY . A former Jedi Knight , Meetra Surik , met him in his laboratory in the Nar Shaddaa Docks and questioned him about what he was doing . The Bith scientist explained to her that he was trying to pinpoint the source of a signal that seemed to encompass the entirety of the moon . Surik offered her assistance to the scientist , who gave her a simple courier job : to pick up a package from one of his suppliers , a Twi ' lek , at one of the docking pylons . When Surik arrived to meet the Twi ' lek , she found only his body and no package , and was attacked by a droid . When Surik returned to tell the scientist the news , she found only his dismembered arm clutching a datapad with a message stating that he had found the signal source but was attacked by his assistant droid . Surik later learned that the Exchange crime syndicate leader G0 - T0 was the source of the signal . Biography . A male Bith scientist resided on Nal Hutta ' s moon Nar Shaddaa during the closing stages of the Dark Wars in 3951 BBY . Meetra Surik , a former Jedi Knight , was exploring the Nar Shaddaa Docks and met the scientist in his apartment room , which the Bith had turned into a makeshift laboratory . Surik began questioning the scientist about what he was doing . The Bith explained the he was investigating a strange signal , and was using his equipment to tie into some listening devices he had installed atop the docking pylons . He explained that his species was able to detect much higher frequencies than Humans and that no matter how many signal dampeners he surrounded himself with , he could not get the signal out of his head . The Bith scientist claimed that if it were not for his knowledge of such things , he probably would not have been able to detect the signal , and that due to his familiarity with such technologies , he was unable to tune it out like other Bith probably could . He noted that whatever was generating the signal had to be enormous , as it was surrounding the entire moon , and that the signal was unique in that it was buried among a myriad of other signals and background noises . The Bith speculated that whomever was generating this signal wanted to keep it as secret as possible . Surik asked if there was any way she could help , and the Bith replied that he did need a courier to pick up an important part for his equipment from a Twi ' lek supplier of his at docking pylon three on the docks , as he did not have the time to leave his work . He offered Surik his thanks and 200 credits . Surik accepted and headed to the pylon , but upon arriving , she only found the corpse of the Twi ' lek . She inspected the body but was unable to locate the part . The pylon door then suddenly sealed shut and a cleaning droid in the pylon attacked her . After destroying the droid , Surik returned to the Bith ' s laboratory , only to find his severed arm clutching a datapad with a message stating that he had discovered the source of the signal but was immediately attacked by his lab assistant droid . G0 - T0 , the leader of the Exchange crime syndicate ' s operations on Nar Shaddaa , later admitted to Surik to being the source of the unknown signal , which he claimed he used for relaying commands and information . Personality and traits . The Bith was very preoccupied when he was working , and was reluctant to speak of his work to strangers . During his exchanges with Surik , the Bith referred to his home of Nar Shaddaa as a planet , rather than its true designation as a moon . Skills and abilities . The Bith was a scientist who specialized in high frequency signals and the technology that went into creating and detecting them . He had the natural ability to detect these signals , but unlike other members of his species , he was unable to simply tune out certain signals due to his extensive knowledge of them .
