Siro Simito Siro Simito was a male Human , who was a member of the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War . Biography . Early life . Siro was born into the Vallaido pirate clan and grew up aboard their flagship , the " Valla ' s Glorious Gesture " . Like all Vallaido children , he began his pirate career operating the ship ' s turbolasers . He was trained in elements of starship operation and eventually was given command of his own boarding vessel . During his second boarding action , he attacked a transport belonging to Gorbu Dalo , a Hutt crime lord . Siro killed four people with his vibro - ax and this was the first time that he saw death so closely . He realized that he didn ' t have the stomach for piracy and no longer wanted to participate in it . He used his share of the Vallaido wealth to modify and old freighter and he began racing it against other people ' s ships , betting their ships against his . Eventually , he was approached by Pann Tefilous , a former captain and gambler who had recently began a series of illegal starship races . Siro joined in with them and , even though the races were illegal , he soon became rich and famous . Serving the Rebel Alliance . The Sevilles , a rival pirate group to the Vallaidos , made an alliance with the Galactic Empire and their combined forces attacked and devastated the Vallaido fleet . Simito responded to this by joining the Rebel Alliance . He began operating in the Rayter sector and used the starship races as cover to deliver information for the Alliance . One such race he participated in during this time was the Dahvil - Fodro Hyperspace Promenade . The race began on Dahvil and while walking through the crowds in the race ' s staging area , he made a clandestine transfer of a data module to some Alliance agents . The agents posed as a holovid crew from Ord Dorlass , asking about Simito ' s supposed feud with Seeg , a rival racer . Simito pretended to be angry and swung his vibro - axe at their droidcam , slicing off the supertelephoto lens . The data module had been hidden in his axe and secretly passed into the droid when he did this ; and afterward , the Rebel agents ran off with it . Simito held his axe up above his head and the crowd cheered him . On the next stage of the race , Simito traveled to Ord Dorlass . He and Seeg wanted to give the holovid ' s something to report , so they staged a fight in a large nightclub in the planet ' s capital city . The Rodian accidentally broke Simito ' s nose , so he responded by " accidentally " throwing Seeg over the bar . They were imprisoned for this , but were released the next morning and Tefilous informed them that their popularity on Ord Dorlass had increased by six points . The next part of the race took Simito to Tintel . The next stop after that was Azna but rather than go straight there , Simito flew to Fait d ' Fait to make a delivery . He docked in the warehouse of Gevil Flan and while Flan knew who Simito was and that he should have been going to Azna , he didn ' t say anything because he knew who Simito ' s family were . He changed into plain clothing , swapped his axe for a plainer model and went to the lobby of a cheap hotel , to meet with his Alliance contact . The contact was an hour late , which Simito knew would make him a lot more behind in the race . Just as he left the hotel , he was accosted by a Barabel mugger . The Barabel demanded that Simito give him his vibro - axe and all of his credits . Rather than just blast the Barabel , he pretended to act like a " screaming lunatic " and gave the Barabel his axe , before scaring the reptilian away with his shouting . He then ran back to his ship and left . He arrived at Azna the following day and Seeg had beaten him there by two hours , so mocked Simito in a friendly way in front of a large crows . He punched the Rodian in the snout , then held his axe above his head and walked away while the crowd cheered him . He left on the next leg of the race , to Fodro , and reduced the efficiency of his hyperdrive to 75 % . This would let Seeg beat him , which he found irritating , but he needed to make a lot of deliveries during the next race , so he planned to explain to the holovid reporters that his worsening performance was due to hyperdrive problems . Personality and traits . Simito was very helpful and extremely friendly . However , he was capable of using violent force if needed , although he preferred to use his reputation and appearance to intimidate people . Despite leaving the Vallaido pirates , he remained loyal to them and his loyalty to them was greater than that he had to the Alliance . Equipment . Simito owned a modified GAT - 12 Skipray Blastboat , called " Axe " . He also used a gold - detailed Galinolo XiX blaster pistol and a vibro - ax , which he had decorated with red and yellow vorun feathers . He liked to wear brightly colored clothes and expensive jewelry .
