Drek Drednar Drek Drednar was a pirate roaming the space lanes during the Galactic Civil War , especially the Carto Asteroid Belt . His base of operations was based on Taraloon , and his flagship was the " Sable III " . Biography . Drednar originally served aboard a merchant ship called the " Eclipse " . Although he learned many vital things about starships and the handling thereof , he found life aboard a merchant vessel incredibly boring , and eventually he started considering jumping ship . When the " Eclipse " was attacked by the pirate Karn Granzor and his Corellian gunship " Sable II " , Drednar decided to join Granzor ' s crew of pirates . Enjoying the life of a pirate immensely , Drednar learned how to fire a blaster and the art of melee combat , among other things , from Graznor . However , Drednar was secretly aspiring to become a pirate captain himself , and started observing the way Granzor was running his pirate business . To Drednar , Granzor had no style , and he also preferred to keep most of the loot to himself , sharing only a small portion with his crewmembers . Drednar picked up resentment towards Granzor among many of the crewmembers and used this to his own advantage as he and many of his fellow crewmen started conspiring against Granzor . When the " Sable II " made a short stop at a backwater starport , Drednar and his co - conspirators jumped ship and stole a Corellian corvette , which they modified . Once the new ship was ready , Drednar , now captain of the stolen ship , set out after " Sable II " and defeated Granzor and those who remained loyal to him in combat . The " Sable II " being damaged beyond repair , Drednar and his men managed to salvage the loot that Granzor had kept to himself . Perhaps to mock Granzor , Drednar named his new ship the " Sable III " , and he and his crew went into the pirate business themselves . Drednar was a flamboyant character with a passion for dueling , though he preferred not to duel to the death , but rather till first blood . He lost his left eye in battle with a bounty hunter , but refused to have a cybernetic replacement . Instead he wore a simple black eye - patch for " the piratical effect " . He did have a sense of mercy and preferred to avoid bloodshed and the killing of innocents . Remembering the ill fate of Granzor , he shared loots fairly with his crew . He was skilled in fencing , using vibro - knive s , ranged combat with blasters , and also a very charismatic leader . Ships . Drek ' s flagship was the Corellian corvette " Sable III " , and in addition to this ship he commanded a small wing of snub starfighters which were used to assault targets and prevent them from escaping . His starfighter wing included : Crew . Drednar ' s crew consisted of around two hundred men , including Humans , Sullustans , Gotals , Quarren , Duros , and even Ithorians , having various functions such as pilots , gunners , technicians , mechanics , brawlers , and starship thieves . In addition , he kept several informants all over the galaxy in his employ . Some of the more well - known members of his crew were : Prey and methods . To Drednar all ships were fair game , Rebel , Imperial and neutral ships alike , not having any preference for prey . However , Drednik was smart enough to avoid large Imperial warships . While using an array of different method , Drednar had a preference for prowling space lanes . What Drednar would do was , with the help of his navigator Tron Nixx , typically to select an asteroid field not too far from a hyperspace shipping lane . Drednar would then pull back and wait , having his starfighters patrol the area . Hyperspace travel close to asteroid fields often forced starships back into realspace due to gravity shadows created by the asteroids . When this would happen , Drednar ' s starfighters would swarm the prey vessel , and Drednar would hail them , delivering his motto " Stand and deliver ! " . Should it be necessary , Drednar ' s fighters would pinpoint the sub - light drives and weapons , while the " Sable III " would fire its ion cannon at the vessel , rendering it helpless . Following the disabling of the vessel , a boarding team would enter the vessel through a universal airlock tube attached to the " Sable III " . The boarding team was lead by Virtrol Devin and consisted of highly trained people . Once the vessel had been secured , Drednar himself would make a grandiose entrance and terrify its crew with his flamboyant , but rather harmless , antics . In the later stage of his career , Drednar adopted a bolder variant of his prowling method . Roaming less remote locations , he would fill the cargo holds of his ship with water and release it in space , which created huge ice asteroids so as to pull ships out of hyperspace without having to locate a nearby asteroid field first .
