Maddie Macatten was an elderly female Bith slave on Kal ' Shebbol , the capital planet of the Kathol sector . When her master was killed by the Aing - Tii — a race noted for their hatred of slavers — Macatten found herself released from her servitude . Taking the ownership papers to one of her master ' s ships , the Gymsnor - 2 light freighter " Scupper Bantoo " , she flew the vessel out of its docking bay . Macatten headed for the Kathol Outback and set herself up as a merchant , using the " Scupper Bantoo " to travel between the worlds of the Outback where she traded replacement machinery parts and luxury items to the various colonies she encountered . Macatten made several modifications to the " Scupper Bantoo " , but it was an old vessel and could only take so much upgrading . While engaged in her trading endeavors , Macatten sought out any and all information on the Aing - Tii . She hoped to find their hidden homeworld so that she could personally thank them from freeing her from slavery . While a lot of the data she gained was rumor and speculation , Macatten was considered a good source of information on the Aing - Tii by the residents of the Outback . She also knew that the planet of Shatuun was home to a pair of mated Star Dragons , a fact that was known to only a few individuals . During her travels , Macatten encountered the crew of the New Republic CR90 corvette " FarStar " , which was on a mission to track down the rogue Imperial Moff , Kentor Sarne . Personality and traits . Maddie Macatten was a black - eyed Bith who possessed an impressive visual acuity when objects were within a thirty centimeter range , although her eyesight suffered when trying to focus on objects over twenty meters distant . She could not see anything beyond forty meters . Macatten could also smell the scent of individuals within a three - meter radius that helped her to determine their moods and state . She was also manually dexterous , and her fine motor skills assisted her while operating fine tools , or when pickpocketing . Macatten was slightly senile , constantly talking to herself , although she rarely finished a sentence . She had a tendency to ramble on about anything and everything when in the presence of others . Some even considered her crazy . Although she had a lot of information to share , most of it was wrong . Despite this , elements of the truth were often found in her words . The streams of babble usually bored those present , causing them to stop listening to her before any useful information was revealed . Macatten would often hum Bith folk tunes to herself while working , and her priority in life was the discovery of the Aing - Tii homeworld so that she could thank them for indirectly freeing her from slavery . Macatten had the ability to fly , repair , and modify space transports , as well as navigate through hyperspace . An experienced trader and businessbeing , she was a shrewd bargainer and could ascertain the value of items . Macatten knew a lot of information regarding the Kathol Outback , although not all of it was accurate , and she knew about alien species , cultures and languages , and was quite streetwise despite her burgeoning senility . She was also a deft pickpocket and con artist when the need arose , and was know to gamble . Despite her advanced years , Macatten was still relatively fit and could climb and jump , and was agile enough to avoid danger when necessary . Technically adept , she could also drive repulsorlift vehicles , program and repair computers and droids , and apply first aid . She was skilled with a blaster , and armed herself with a sporting model . She also carried a datapad , comlink , various tools , and 250 credits . Behind the scenes .

She was intended to be used by the Gamemaster to introduce information — or even " mis " information — to the players regarding the Aing - Tii species , as well as to serve as a source of potential replacement parts . It is also suggested that Macatten could join the crew of the " FarStar " , the player character ' s principal ship , should the Gamemaster so wish . In 2008 Maddie Macatten received an entry in " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " .
