Mix Liddell Mix Liddell was a male Mon Calamari harpooner working for Bartyn Gourmet Delicacies and , later , the Security Chief of the coastal town of Bartyn ' s Landing in the planet Lamaredd from 69 BBY to 29 BBY . Liddell obtained his job as Chief during the attacks of the Dark Jedi outlaw known as The Padawan , which was eventually captured by Liddell . In his time as constable , Liddell obtained notoriety for being a just man and a very good sniper , winning ten times the annual Landing Shootout and retiring undefeated . He also was one of the main figures of the events surrounding the reappearance of the believed - extinct Menahuun species . After that , Liddell renounced to his rank to try a career in politics , making good use of his local popularity . Liddell was well - liked among his friends and even respected by some of his enemies including The Padawan , although the local major Guther Bartyn was not always happy with Liddell ' s activities . Liddell had his trusted friend Grubber Vapps as his second - in - command and proxy , and was known to sail with the local doctor MD - 0C6 . Liddell also had some kind of romantic relationship with Miss Mylla , the manager of a entertainment house . Biography . Mix Liddell was a male Mon Calamari born in Bartyn ' s Landing , a coastal town in the planet Lamaredd c . 95 BBY . During the first years of his life , he worked in the trawler " Swilla " as a harpoon person and was a member of the Sailor ' s Union . C . 69 BBY , twenty - six - year - old Liddell stopped working in the boat to become one of the Seconds of the local Security Chief , Ertine . As the job was technically a branch of Outer Rim Oreworks and this enter in conflict with the Sailor ' s Union , Liddell stopped being a member of the syndicate . Being Liddell still an inexperienced rookie , Bartyn ' s Landing and nearby areas , including farms and boat routes , were raided by a gang of outlaws that was rumored to be lead by a lightsaber - wielding dark Jedi sorcerer known only as " The Padawan . " Ertine took his four Seconds , including Liddell , and tracked the gang to their hideout . The Padawan — who was really Byrch Dyshkava , a fallen Jedi — was cautious enough to keep a watch and saw Ertine coming . Dyshkava and his gang ambushed the Chief and his Seconds and , after a short skirmish , they left , believing to have killed all of them . Liddell was seriously wounded , but he survived and returned to Bartyn ' s Landing . Once there , he was cured in the bacta tank of the local doctor , MD - 0C6 . The town council then had a short meeting to choose a replacing Security Chief , and Liddell was unanimously elected . Liddell promptly accepted the job . He appointed several Seconds who had been sailors up to this point , including Grubber Vapps , and used the help of trusted citizens to prepare a trap for Dyshkava , including a farmer who offered his property as the battlefield . Liddell them attracted Dyshkava ' s gang and ambushed them in an overwhelming defeat . Most of the desperadoes were either killed or captured , and even Dyshkava was apprehended . The Padawan was chained and sent to jail , but he escaped during Liddell watch , the only prisoner to achieve this feat . A bounty was offered for his capture , but Dyshkava had disappeared from any civilized area , having been captured by the secretive sentient species known as the Menahuun . Liddell sworn to find Dyshkava and took him to justice but , as years passed by , he came to believe that he would never meet Dyshkava again . As the Security Chief , Liddell officially worked for ORO and answered to the Administrator of the ORO mines , who was coincidentally the mayor of Bartyn ' s Landing . The Administratorship understood the nature of the Chief ' s work and was much more lenient with Liddell ' s methods and activities than they were with the all - Human security staff of the spaceport , who worked for ORO in similar conditions . During the following forty years , Chief Liddell performed several kinds of activities due to his job . He organized posses to go after offenders and hunting groups to free the area from dangerous predators or to map the mountains . He hunted dangerous animals by himself , found lost pets and mediate quarrels among the citizens . He also appeared during fistfights in local watering holes , including the Tailfin Cantina , should anyone tried to use lethal weapons . In time , the citizens of Bartyn ' s Landing considered Liddell to have been the best Security Chief in their lifetime — a notable achievement in the case of MD - 0C6 , who subscribed that opinion and who had lived in the Landing without a memory wipe since 529 BBY . During his time as Chief , Liddell believed that ORO was periodically sending official inspectors to check the local mines , but the Administrator was really bribing the ORO officers and sent his men , disguised as inspectors , just to mislead Liddell and the locals . In 55 BBY , crack sniper Liddell won the first prize annual Landing Shootout of Bartyn ' s Landing for the first time . Liddell would repeat his victory in the nine following years , achieving great prestige and breaking a record . Then , Liddell decided to retire from the contest . From that point onward , Liddell , a gifted artisan , handcrafted the first prize : A pearl - handed slugthrower with improved power . In 29 BBY , a herd of migrating predators from the jungle crowded the area around Bartyn ' s Landing and Liddell recruited several people to help him clearing the lands . That same year , a member of the town council was killed in the unfavorable area known as The Ring , and Liddell and his allies investigated the case . At that point , Liddell believed that several of his Seconds were being bribed by Administrator Guther Bartyn so that he could hide some of his unofficial activities , but Liddell still trusted his personal friend Vapps and the Gungan known as Boom Boom . Bartyn was also pressing Liddell to investigate supposed attacks of gremlin s — really Menahuun — in the docks , mostly because Bartyn was worried about his personal yacht . That same year , Byrch Dyshkava escaped from the Menahuun that had been jailing him for forty years . Considering himself to be a useless elderly man , he went to Bartyn ' s Landing , wanting only to die in a blaze of glory , preferably in a duel against Liddell . As Dyshkava was unable to find the Calamarian , he challenged some bystanders and was knocked down during the fight . Liddell appeared soon afterward and approached the winners of the duel , taking care to place an armed Vapps in the crowd just in case . When Liddell recognized Dyshkava , he took The Padawan to jail and got medical care for him . He also interviewed the victorious gunslingers , offered them the hefty bounty for Dyshkava and explained them the origin of their foe . Trusting his instinct , and deciding that many of his current men were not reliable , Liddell offered to hire these newcomers as his Seconds . At that point , Dyshkava woke up and , questioned by Liddell , explained that he had been captured by the Menahuun while going through the coastline , but he could not give many more details as he was seriously ill . Liddell then raised his proposal to the group , offering to pay for rooms in Miss Mylla ' s Saloon , and then gave them the badges of Seconds . Liddell sent his new Seconds and Boom Boom to examine the area where Dyshkava had been captured , and they indeed found Menahuun presence — hostile , organized , laser - armed Menahuun presence that tried their best to leave little proof of their existence . Liddell also sent them to investigate the reports about gremlins in the port , and they also found Menahuun there — but at that point Liddell was unavailable to hear the report . The Seconds eventually found Liddell and showed him a weapon they had seized from the Menahuun . Liddell identified it as a mining laser and sent the Seconds to meet with Guther Bartyn , Administrator of the fully - automated mines . Liddell warned them against Bartyn using circumlocutions instead of giving them information . Eventually , the Seconds discovered a Menahuun community hiding in the mines , and negotiated a peace with them . The sudden reappearance of the Menahuun was particularly shameful to ORO , as they were living proof of an agent of ORO trying to commit genocide ; this led to ORO abandoning Lamaredd , which in turn reduced the power of the Bartyn family . Guther Bartyn was ceased as the Administrator , and Mix Liddell stood for the public office . During a pre - election rally , a young outlaw who wanted to became a renowned criminal like Dyshkava sniped at Liddell with a slugthrower rifle . Liddell survived and became the new elected Administrator , being replaced as Security Chief by Vapps . Guther Bartyn , in turn , went crazy and re - programmed two MMV security droid s to attack several alien citizens of Bartyn ' s Landing . Administrator Liddell and Chief Vapps were unable to handle the situation by themselves and looked for external help . Personality and traits . Although Liddell was skillful when using the baton or the vibrodagger he carried with himself , he was a real expert using slugthrower weapons , which he also handcrafted as a personal hobby — slugthrower weapons were preferred by many in Lamaredd , as energy for blasters was a rare luxury . Beyond his offensive abilities , he was also knowledgeable in the fields of law enforcement and had experience as a sailor . Liddell was fluent in the most extended languages of Lamaredd , including Galactic Basic Standard , Mon Calamarian , Chagri , Huttese , Rodese and Quarrenese . Liddell owned a repulsorsail speederboat that he named Ertine , honoring his predecessor as a Chief . He enjoyed sailing for pleasure , sometimes in the company of his good friend MD - 0C6 . Liddell also used one of the few air vehicles of Bartyn ' s Landing , a battered , once - shiny bronze - colored Bespin Motors Flurry II combat cloud car , nicknamed " Brassie " , that ORO had provided him with for air patrols looking for missing people . Liddell commonly parked " Brassie " on his office ' s roof . Liddell ' s best personal friend was Grubber Vapps , his trusted Senior Second and successor as a Chief of Security . Vapps took part in illegal Cargo Track race s in the area of Center Sphere District , and commonly won . Vapps believed that this was a secret , but Liddell had discovered his out - of - hours activity . Nonetheless , Liddell decided not to mention it because having a trusted man in these activities could be useful one day , and also because Vapps was a winning horse at that . Liddell was admired and appreciate by the citizens of Bartyn ' s Landing . His professed enemies , including common bandits and The Padawan , tended to not underestimate Liddell more than once . The Padawan himself felt a strong respect for Liddell , as Liddell who could defeat him fairly and was much more a gentlebeing than the Menahuun . Mix Liddell enjoyed his job as Chief of Security , but he admitted it had disadvantages . To become a policeman , he had to renounce to the Sailor ' s Union , something he regretted fondly . He also disliked Administrator Guther Bartyn and would rather not obey some of his whims , but Liddell respected the chain of command . Liddell was known to dislike street duels with fireweapons , even if they were a custom in Bartyn ' s Landing . To Liddell , that activity was little more than a formalized murder , and he would even restrict his tears should a member of the audience be hurt at one of these . Relationships . Miss Mylla . Miss Mylla was the strikingly pretty Falleen owner and manager of a successful , 24 - hour inn and entertainment house , Miss Mylla ' s Saloon , staffed mostly by attractive females . Mylla ' s beauty made her very popular among the males of Bartyn ' s Landing , including Liddell . She had declared repeatedly that only Liddell could make her settle down and abandon her life or vice , and she was decided to make him fall to her feminine tricks . Although Liddell did appreciate Mylla , he considered himself too much of a professional to openly chase such a woman . Even if their relationship was unorthodox at best , Liddell spent most of his free time at Mylla ' s Saloon , commonly talking to her . Mylla provided Liddell some elusive data that helped him during frustrating cases . They respected each other greatly . During the Menahuun crisis of 29 BBY , Mylla was having problems with corrupt ORO customs officers that were stealing her shipments of Corellian brandy . She knew she could have resorted to Liddell , but she feared he could irritate his ORO employers one time too many , and thus she instead looked for help elsewhere as she was worried about her man . Behind the scenes . Mix Liddell was created by writer Cory J . Herndon and featured in the article " Bartyn ' s Landing " and in the role - playing adventure " Reckonings " , both of them published in the magazine " Star Wars Gamer " # 7 ( 2001 ) . The articles inconsistently say repeatedly that Liddell had became the Chief of Security forty years before the events in the adventure or twenty years before the events in the adventure . This article assumes that the first option is correct because it is repeatedly more frequently and is more coherent with other facts such as Liddell ' s ten - year victory at the annual Shootout — which would have otherwise began when he was a young , inexpert sailor . Alternate endings . The article assumes that the player characters of " Reckonings " achieve the best possible ending but , should they fail , the adventure offers an alternative path that takes place during an open war between the Menahuun and the citizens of Bartyn ' s Landing . The Menahuun repeatedly raid Bartyn ' s Landing , clashing with the armed citizens . Bartyn takes over the command and recruits Liddell , his Seconds and many able - bodied citizens to join the battles defending the area . With the sudden disappearance of the police , crime raises . Several civilians attempt to leave the city and start anew in other parts of Lamaredd , with Miss Mylla trying to reach Little Mon Cal — but failing to arrive due to a transport accident near the Rank that left her boat and herself to the mercy of the Menahuun . Liddell discovers her fate before the Menahuun and he tries to send some of his allies to rescue her .
