Guther Bartyn Guther Bartyn was the Administrator of Outer Rim Oreworks ' Mining Station LM0228 in Lamaredd , as well as the mayor of the local town known as Bartyn ' s Landing and the owner of the company Bartyn Gourmet Delicacies , holding all of these ranks because he was the inheritor to the original founder Hugo Bartyn and not because of his skill . Bartyn , who would rather resort to bribery and not to hard work , was disliked by his subjects and workers , but nonetheless his authority was respected . Bartyn was in charge of Lamaredd when the native sentient species of the planet , the Menahuun , reappeared five centuries after what was believed to have been their extinction at the hands of Hugo Barytn . Biography . Guther Bartyn was born in 62 BBY . He was the descendant of Hugo Bartyn , a scout who had founded the mines of Lamaredd for Outer Rim Oreworks , become the Administrator and also founded a local fishing city , Bartyn ' s Landing , that became the headquarters to his personal successful seafood export enterprise Bartyn Gourmet Delicacies c . 529 BBY . Through the years , the jobs as Administrator of the mines , manager and owner of the Delicacies and mayor of the Landing had been inherited by Bartyn ' s descendants . The mines were fully automated and droids extracted metals without the intervention of any organic . Supposedly ORO sent inspectors to check the mines , but the Bartyns bribed ORO officers to avoid this situation . The Bartyns felt no need to visit the mine . They did not know either that the native Menahuun species — believed to be extinct due to the ruthless hunting in which Hugo Bartyn had engaged — had sneaked there and created their own city . Nonetheless , when Guther was a child , he did visit the outside of the mines , apparently not finding any Menahuun there . In 36 BBY , Guther Bartyn took part in the hunting of a krugga deer ; the prey managed to lose the tracker at Krakana ' s Maw range . As Bartyn was near the family mines , he decided to go there and have a look . He was greeted with laser fire from the defenses of the mines , operated by Menahuun . He survived , but decided to not tell anyone about this event . Bartyn mistakenly believed that a gang of outlaws , hiding in the Maw , were behind the attack . Administrator . At some point before 29 BBY , Guther Bartyn became mayor of Bartyn ' s Landing , the twenty - third Bartyn to hold this title . He was not particularly liked or respected . The local constable and Security Chief , the Mon Calamari Mix Liddell , felt not trust toward Bartyn , but Liddell did respect the command chain and recognized Bartyn as his chief . Bartyn managed the annual Landing Shootout , a public show of snipers shooting static targets , with the best five receiving awards . Bartyn donated 4 , 600 credits for the second to fifth prizes ; former champion Liddell , a skilled weapon craftsman , personally manufactured a pearl - handed slugthrower that went to the winner . As the Shootout was also a party , many visitors went to food and drink stands . Bartyn contacted with Ubrikkian Industries and asked them for a personal aquatic yacht following the contract GBX - 005 . Still noticing that his subjects did not really love him , Bartyn named the ship " Tria Blue " after his popular ancestor Tria Bartyn , known as " Benevolent Tria " by the people . Not a sailor himself , Bartyn used the expensive vehicle for his personal rest , and sometimes to compete with a visiting Neimoidian dignitary in a global race — obviously using a hired crew . The Reckoning . In 29 BBY , a faction of the mine - dwelling Menahuun decided to initiate guerrilla attacks against Bartyn ' s Landing , as a reprisal for several perceived crimes against their race . As the Menahuun were discreet , they were not really detected except as " gremlin s " attacking the docks . Bartyn , worried about the security of the " Tria Blue " , assigned six guards from the ORO spaceport security staff to the deck of his yacht , in what was an unpopular movement — because the spaceport security was disliked in the Landing . He nonetheless failed to increase the budget of the security of the port , even if he had received reports about increasing accidents and the disappearance of several trawlers . Bartyn also prompted Security Chief Liddell to investigate . As Lidell had just hired new Seconds , the Calamarian sent them to the port . By then , a couple of Menahuun had already executed Bartyn ' s security and were trying to sabotage and detonate the boat using advanced technology . The Seconds got visual contact with the Menahuuns , after which Liddell encouraged them to meet directly with Bartyn . Bartyn agreed to give them an interview , although he intended to reveal as little information as possible — perhaps not telling them about a secret tunnel from the Bartyn mansion to the mines . Liddell ' s second discovered the hidden Menahuun community and negotiated with them . They discovered that the Menahuun wanted to live in peace and helped them to join the community of Landing . Although Bartyn was unhappy with this arrangement , he helped his subjects — and took good care to close the tunnel . ORO , however , did not want any scandal about Menahuun genocide affecting them , and abandoned Lamaredd , which led to a gradual loss of power to the Bartyn family . For the first time , the Administrator was democratically elected . Bartyn lost this election to Liddell and then lost his edge : The former Administrator re - programmed two MMV security droid s to attack Menahuun citizens . Personality and traits . Guther Bartyn was a young Human male with a balding head . He curled the hair he still had at 33 years of age . He liked wearing expensive clothing and smoking cigarra . Bartyn was a skilled bureaucrat and was familiar with the nuances of his business , including the maintenance of droids and the management of inherited money , sometimes spending it in the form of bribes . He believed to be a skillful speaker , able to hide information in a questioning . However , he lacked any personality or social skills , being unaware of even his own shortages . Some people knowing him considered Bartyn to be a pompous being . Guther Bartyn was fluent in some of the most extended languages in Lamaredd , including Basic , Chagri , Mon Calamarian and Quarrenese . He had received some training in the use of blaster weapons , and he sometimes carried a hold - out blaster with himself . Bartyn tried to impress people with important expenses . He attempted to gain the esteem of his subjects by naming his flamboyant personal yacht after a much - beloved predecessor and relative of himself . He also took any foreign visitor to the luxurious Three Jetties Gourmet Restaurant , which he himself partially owned . Bartyn was known to hire specialized help in the form of mercenaries . He was also a frequent visitor to Miss Mylla ' s Saloon whenever he was not in his yacht or at his opulent mansion . There , he used personal guards , a bronze - colored protocol droid and a secretary . Behind the scenes . Guther Bartyn 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 ) . Alternate ending . 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 . In this situation , Guther Bartyn gains control of the people and uses heavy weapons to protect both the Landing and his own mansion . He also recruits the constable , his men and even his own sailors as soldiers ; and asks ORO for corporate shock troopers . Non - combatant civilians try to leave by sea , although the Menahuun appear to be almost everywhere in Lamaredd — as discovered by Bartyn when he sent some hired people to his home at the island Bartyn ' s Retreat , by then full of Menahuun . As the local police corps had became soldiers , the local crime increases , and even the traditionally benevolent Sailor ' s Union turned into a crime syndicate . As a consequence , Bartyn hired some agents to infiltrate the Union and " neutralize " it . Even if the Menahuun crisis is solved , Bartyn would keep high security controls to stop a possible new " infestation . "
