Shandy Fanaso Shandy Fanaso was a crewmember of the " One Two Many " during the Imperial era . Previously , he had been the captain of the " Corellian Gambit " , a light hauler . Once , on a trip to the Pangarees , Fanaso had chosen to stop over in the Triton Moons , specifically Triton Besh . There , while having to wait four days for a cargo - tithe receipt that would allow him to pass through the system and onto the Pangarees , he noted that the strict Domains of Triton laws prevented other spacers from enjoying intoxicants and stimulants while waiting for their own receipts . Seeing a way to make a new living for himself , Fanaso converted his ship ' s hold into a cantina . Since his ship , while connected to Triton Besh Port via an umbilical , was not subject to the Rules of Law for the Domains of Triton , Fanaso was immune to the Tritonite laws . However , when he returned a second time , with a cruiser he had purchased with a loan , " Shandy ' s Pleasure Palace " , he found out that the Tritonites had changed their laws to prevent his actions . As a result , he was arrested by Imperial stormtroopers and forced to perform devotion - service for the Tritonites . The devotion - service involved him reciting the tracts of Gactimus 500 times , a feat which took him over four years to complete . Afterward , Fanaso became a crewmember on the bulk cruiser " One Two Many " . Biography . Trip to Triton Besh . Hailing from Corellia , the Human male Shandy Fanaso was the owner and captain of the light hauler " Corellian Gambit " . At some stage during the Imperial era , he put his ship to use , hauling goods across the galaxy . He was contracted to ship a hold of chak - root liqueur along the Rimma Trade Route to the Minos Cluster , but the shipment did not arrive on schedule . Fanaso had been waiting on Eriadu for the arrival of the goods , when he was informed that the hauler carrying the liqueur had suffered a burnout on the way from Sukkult . With nothing else to do , Fanaso took on a shipment of replacement arms for agri - droids and several freezers full of bruallki , in addition to several courier orders from Eriadu Pay - and - Fetch bound for the Pangarees . The trip would take eleven days ; the Eriadu general - hire agent suggested going through Triton to shorten the journey . " En route " to the Pangarees , Fanaso passed through the Mayagil sector , located within the Outer Rim Territories . When he neared the world of Triton , his ship was picked up by an Imperial customs cruiser ; Fanaso was subsequently greeted by Lieutenant Gallagne of the Imperial Military . At first , Gallagne noted that the young Fanaso had failed to identify his port of origin on his flight plan , but the lieutenant decided not to charge the inexperienced Corellian the standard fine . Gallagne then informed Fanaso that he would have to stay on Triton Besh for four days to await a tithing receipt , which would include customs tax . While the lieutenant noted that those days would be particularly dull for the young man , Fanaso was not daunted by the prospect , provided Triton Besh had a cantina . Gallagne confirmed that Triton Besh did indeed have a cantina , and then advised Fanaso that at least one Tritonite would greet the Corellian upon arrival , before giving the visitor the Rules of Law for the Domains of Triton . While Gallagne admitted that much of the Rules of Law seemed " silly , " he cautioned Fanaso against dismissing them without at least a careful read - through . With the customs procedure complete , Fanaso was free to land on Triton Besh . Arriving at Triton Besh Port , Fanaso was greeted by the Domains of Triton representative , Mactimentus . The Tritonite presented the Corellian with a copy of the Rules of Law , but when Fanaso thumbed through the document , he found that many of the laws pertained to basic safety rules that any ship ' s boy would have learned on his first day . Returning the document to Mactimentus , Fanaso prepared to pay the cargo - tithe , but was swiftly stopped by the Tritonite once he stepped off the umbilical that had connected to the " Corellian Gambit " , and onto Triton Besh Port proper . Mactimentus proceeded to thrust a tract of Gactimus into Fanaso ' s hands , and offered to provide the Corellian with instructions in the ways of Gactimus , the Tritonite deity . Fanaso declined the offer and insisted on paying the cargo - tithe immediately , but Mactimentus nonetheless decided to teach the Corellian about Gactimus on the way to the cargo - tithe office . On the way , while Mactimentus continued to sing the praises of Gactimus , Fanaso spied a cantina , outside which a group of Tritonites waited . The Corellian suggested that he and Mactimentus enjoy an Elba beer there , but the Tritonite explained that the tavern was not considered a part of the Domains of Triton , and so he could not set foot in there . Nevertheless , Fanaso elected to stop at the cantina briefly but was informed that only scrip of the Domains of Triton was considered legal tender in the bar , and that scrip could only be obtained at the cargo - tithe office . Resignedly , Fanaso passed the cantina by and proceeded to the office . There , he was told to await delivery of the tithing receipt at his ship ' s umbilical in four days . By the time the pair had returned to the cantina , Mactimentus had recited the tract of Gactimus so many times that Fanaso felt he could utter it from memory himself . Hoping to escape the endless talk of Gactimus , Fanaso entered the cantina and ordered an Elba beer , only to be met with laughter from everyone present . The bartender explained that no intoxicants or stimulants were allowed to be brought into the Domains of Triton , which included music and card games . Noting that the cantina was not a part of the Domains of Triton , Fanaso learned that the Rules of Law also covered possession — essentially , the reason there were no intoxicants or stimulants in the cantina was because there was no way of getting them there without committing a crime . Disappointed at the discovery and dismayed at the prospect of having to endure four days without entertainment , the Corellian was suddenly struck with an idea . Shandy ' s Place . When he had finished his shipment to the Pangarees , Fanaso decided to take up a new profession by converting the " Corellian Gambit " hold into a cantina dubbed " Shandy ' s Place . " Purchasing large supplies of Elba beer , Treffanian ale , and jumbli juice , he also obtained a jukebox and the services of a female Twi ' lek entertainer . In addition to that , he acquired a Mayagil sector cabaret license , which would allow him to operate in Imperial space . He then took the " Corellian Gambit " back to Triton Besh after a brief inspection by Lieutenant Gallagne . Upon docking at Triton Besh Port , Fanaso began affixing a banner to his ship ' s umbilical , advertising Shandy ' s Place . While doing so , he was met by Mactimentus , who provided the Corellian with the newly revised Rules of Law . Without giving it a thought , Fanaso disposed of the document and headed for the Triton Besh cantina . Since he had to pay no cargo - tithe , he was free to travel straight to the establishment , round up the occupants , and bring them back to Shandy ' s Place . Within no time , he was able to make back the money he had spent on developing his ship ' s hold . A week after doing so , Fanaso was told by Mactimentus , who had been waiting outside the ship ' s umbilical , that the situation was bordering on intolerable for the Domains of Triton . Fanaso , unfazed , offered to give the Domains a percentage of his profits , were an arrangement to be made in which the Tritonites would begin advertising Shandy ' s Place . One of the other Tritonites found the idea abominable , however , so Fanaso decided to continue as he had . With business on Triton Besh firmly established , Fanaso took out a loan , and with it purchased a " Whaladon " - class container ship , which he dubbed " Shandy ' s Pleasure Palace " . This time , Lieutenant Gallagne informed Fanaso that the highest - ranking monitors of the Domains of Triton were paying attention to his actions , and the Imperial officer once again suggested that the young Corellian read through the Rules of Law carefully . Fanaso was sure of himself though , and continued with his business . Upon arrival at Triton Besh , Fanaso was met by a crowd of pleased spacers and immensely displeased Tritonites . Mactimentus , without ceremony , provided the Corellian with a new copy of the Rules of Law , while a couple of the spacers pushed through and into " Shandy ' s Pleasure Palace " . While he was leafing through the document , Fanaso was informed by Mactimentus that he was now in violation of all 43 Rules of Law that had changed since his last visit . Devotion - service . Protesting , the Corellian backed into his ship ' s umbilical , but was then met with the sight of Lieutenant Gallagne and a squad of Imperial stormtroopers , who where there to arrest him . Several of the stormtroopers passed by Fanaso and Gallagne and into " Shandy ' s Pleasure Palace " , to bring the festivities within to a halt . Specifically , Fanaso was guilty of accidentally importing trace amounts of intoxicants into the Domains of Triton , playing music audible in the Domains of Triton , advertising with a banner in the Domains of Triton , and failing to keep his customers under control , amongst various other transgressions . To Fanaso ' s shock , ownership of his craft and the goods within it were to be transferred over to the Domains of Triton , and to add insult to injury , he would not be able to pay off the fine with a tithing fee — instead , he would have to perform " devotion - service " for the Domains , before he would be free to depart Triton Besh once more . Gallagne informed Fanaso that his devotion - service would involve reciting the tracts of Gactimus for nine hours a day , in three hour blocks , at the Triton Besh cantina . Every sixth day he would have liberty , but he would be restricted to the Domains of Triton , the refreshers , and the cantina . While performing his devotion - service , Fanaso was to be given quarters in one of the cantina ' s storage rooms . Furthermore , he was to recite the entire saga of Gactimus 500 times before his sentence would be complete . Fanaso figured that to recite the one tract he had been given 500 times would take a couple of days only , and he was more worried about what his backers would think once they learned that " Shandy ' s Pleasure Palace " had been seized . However , Gallagne provided Fanaso with only more devastating news : the tract he had been given was only the first of three hundred and thirteen , and that he had to read all of them 500 times . As the Imperials set up an amplifying device in the cantina , Fanaso calculated just how long it would take him to recite the saga of Gactimus 500 times . According to his calculations , it would take him three to four years to complete the task . The Tritonites did not make it easy for Fanaso , either — after at least one day of recital , they pointed out several problems with his pronunciation , and forced him to start over . After one week , the Corellian ' s vocal cords were so severely damaged that he had to spend two days in the Triton Besh infirmary . Following that , he began reciting at a slower pace , while constantly sipping the juice and distilled water served at the cantina . Those sips would cause him at least thirty - three days ' worth of trips to the refresher . On occasion , he couldn ' t bear the thought of more recitation , and would spend the day in his cot . And at least three times during his devotion - service , he was assaulted by disgruntled patrons of the cantina . In the third year of his devotion - service , Fanaso and his endless recitation was covered in a Herglic guidebook , " Strange Sights Along the Spaceways " . Following the book ' s publication , Herglic tourists would come to Triton Besh to observe the Corellian . To Fanaso , they stank , but to his advantage , they did leave tips . Those tips , however , were confiscated by the Tritonites despite Fanaso ' s objections . When Lieutenant Gallagne visited Triton Besh , though , he ordered that the Tritonites return the tips to the Corellian . After that , Saman , the proprietor , began charging Fanaso for room and board , which plunged him even deeper into debt . To prevent the further exploitation of Fanaso , Gallagne had Saman set a schedule of rates to remain in effect until the conclusion of the devotion - service . The Corellian eventually finished his recitations , four years , fifty - six days , and seven hours after he had begun . Life away from Triton Besh . He had amassed two trunks full of credits in tips , but after he booked a flight out of Triton Besh , the Tritonites insisted that he take all 313 tracts with him . Fanaso ' s first thought was to shred the documents , but fearing that he would breach the Rules of Law , he departed with a minimum of fuss . What he would later learn was that a complete set of the tracts of Gactimus was exceptionally rare , and highly valued . The Corellian was able to sell his entire set to a Herglic collector from Sukkult for a million credits . With most of those credits , he was able to pay off those he owed for " Shandy ' s Pleasure Palace " , and with the rest he was able to purchase a share in the bulk freighter " One Two Many " . The other investors would soon come to know Fanaso and his tale , and they would often rile him about his past . However , the Corellian was able to settle into his new life , making sure he avoided the Triton Moons at all costs . They eventually took on a ship ' s boy , Janzel Helot , who was immensely curious and inquisitive . Once , after the " One Two Many " had departed Injopan on a course for the Maw , Helot had burst into the ship ' s lounge clutching the first tract of Gactimus , which a Tritonite had given to him at Injopan High Port . The boy was at first excited at his new acquisition , until Fanaso snatched the tract out of his hand and began telling him about his time on Triton Besh . One of the crewmembers , Devoris , constantly provoked Fanaso , almost to the point of violence , but nonetheless the Corellian continued his tale . By the end of it , Helot thought it had all been worth it , since Fanaso had gained considerable wealth by selling his collection of tracts , but Fanaso begged to differ , suggesting that Helot simply read the first tract 500 times . The Corellian also advised the boy that he always read the small print . Personality and traits . An enterprising and confident man , Shandy Fanaso took to his captaincy of the " Corellian Gambit " with enthusiasm — so much so , that he accidentally ignored procedure at least once . His failure to read the fine print did not cost him dearly until he brought " Shandy ' s Pleasure Palace " to Triton Besh . His earlier exploitation of the entertainment - derived spacers awaiting their cargo - tithes had brought him considerable profits , but also the attention of the local authorities . He essentially ignored the protocols and the Rules of Law for the Triton Moon , and as a result , lost over four years of his life to devotion - service . Afterward , he was far more bitter in his demeanor and held considerable contempt for the Tritonites that had previously held him captive . Even before his devotion - service , he , like many other spacers who frequented Triton Besh Port , had grown weary of the Tritonites ' constant hailing of their deity , Gactimus , and had found himself in dire need of genuine entertainment . Behind the scenes . Shandy Fanaso made his first and only appearance in the 2008 short story " Deader than a Triton Moon . " In the story , which was written by Jason Fry , Fanaso serves as the central character .
