Kelko Kelko was a Rodian fringer and later businessman . Biography . Kelko was born outside of marriage to a couple of Rodians whose identities are unknown . The couple belonged to different warring clans , and , knowing that their love was forbidden , fled from Rodia to Ryloth . They were found and killed in Sal ' kaasa on Ryloth by assassins working for a third Rodian clan — one that wanted the conflict between the clans of Kelko ' s parents to grow stronger until both clans destroyed each other . Kelko was found by a Rodian mechanic , Dindoo , who took him in and raised him as a son . Both Kelko and Dindoo believed that Kelko ' s parents had abandoned him , not knowing that he was an orphan . As Dindoo was poor , Kelko had to work , becoming a rycrit shepherd and Dindoo ' s assistant in his shop . Unfortunately , Dindoo was killed because of a sabacc disagreement , after which Kelko had to demonstrate his resourcefulness in order to keep Dindoo ' s business active . Unexpectedly , Kelko kept the business going and even started a side business , Dindoo Tours , a few years later , where he took tourists to see the Bright Lands in a shielded speeder bus . While continuing his repair job , he highly enjoyed the " freedom " of the tours . Unluckily , the speeder bus was destroyed in a strange incident which involved a rampaging lylek , two swoops and a wealthy Twi ' lek politician ' s daughter . Details are unclear , but Kelko decided that his health depended on a change of scenery . Thus he hurriedly left Ryloth in a freighter going to the Outer Rim . Not surprisingly , he was trying to avoid Twi ' lek politicians after this . Once again , Kelko had to make a living doing any job he could , at the same time scouting the Outer Rim . As skillful as he was , he saved enough credits to buy a second - hand repair droid called WED00 - 88 , or " Weedo " . In his spare time , he began tinkering with the droid , making such adjustments as a disguised blaster mount . Kelko has also been seen alongside the likes of Vor ' en Kurn , Arani Korden , Rann I - Kanu , Rorworr , Deel Surool ( strangely a Twi ' lek ) and Sia - Lan Wezz . In 31 BBY , Kelko was seen in Genarius , a gas giant in the Cularin system . He was the manager of the Grande Game casino , and locals considered him a small , sleazy person who disliked his middle - class clientele . Kelko was indeed a common sight in his own casino , always being there to ensure people were spending money and not winning too much — he was ready to cheat to stop them . Should Kelko find a costumer questioning another one without permit , Kelko would throw the offender from his club , something that was unusual for other businessmen to do after only one offense . Kelko used an old protocol droid , S2 - 36B , as a translator . A Near - Human by the name of Aria wanted to show her skills to convince Kelko to hire her ; however , Kelko would rather allow her to work for free in his place . Kelko and Weedo found something similar to a semi - permanent job on Shusko Station : a mining operation on Gam Tim ' nisi asteroid belt , somewhat near Bespin . Kelko was apparently eager to take almost any job for a price . After a year of working on the station , Kelko was found by Govenni , his grandfather , who explained to him that his father ' s clan had finally signed peace with his mother ' s , joining against a common foe — coincidentally , the clan that had killed both of them . Govenni was already old at that time , so he set out to find his lost grandson , a task that had taken him several years . But this was not only for the purpose of a family reunion ; Kelko was rich , and the now - united clan owned several businesses throughout the galaxy , including Shusko Station , and Kelko was to choose at least one for himself ( although some of his relatives didn ' t approve of the idea ) . Kelko decided to take control of Shusko Station , instead of some of the more lucrative businesses . A few years later , Shusko Station became one of the most profitable small mining operations in the Outer Rim . Kelko also obtained a new personal ship , " Dindoo ' s Glory " , in which he would take trips with his trusty old mechanic friend Weedo . Kelko married a Rodian female , Shinba , and had two children . During the Clone Wars , Kelko once again worked alongside Arani Korden , surveying a pitched battle . Kelko was also together with Korden in an Imperial - run city some time after the war ended , hiding while she attempted to bluff her way past an interested officer . Behind the scenes . Kelko ' s image was first used in " Star Wars Roleplaying Game " , as an example of a first - level character from the Fringer class . His background would be later provided by Wizards of the Coast on its webpage . Since the Saga Edition of the Star Wars Roleplaying Game was published by Wizards of the Coast , Kelko ' s class has been altered to Scout because of the elimination of the fringer class . Kelko appears as a non - playable character in the role - playing game adventure " Clouded Paths . "
