==Biography==
Plesko Marno was an Ozrelanso male who worked for the New Republic's Bureau of Ships and Services as a clerk. When the New Republic Senate and fleet were destroyed in the Hosnian Cataclysm in 34 ABY, Marno fled the destruction with a collection of navigational data he had stolen over the years.
The data contained insider information including shortcuts and prefered routes that had ordinarily been kept exclusively for government or corporate transport use. Keeping the data with him, Marno began working as a navigator for hire who could reliably cut down on travel times.
In 35 ABY,Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary states that the events of Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker occur thirty five years after the Battle of Yavin. As Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the Battle of Yavin to 0 BBY, the events of The Rise of Skywalker, which includes Marno's appearance, must occur in 35 ABY. Marno was an inhabitant of Kijimi City on the planet Kijimi while the world was occupied by the First Order. He spent time in the Spice Runners' Den, and was stood against the building's bar when the Spice Runner Zorii Bliss led a group of Resistance agents through the room. Marno turned and watched the Resistance members Finn and C-3PO as they passed. Shortly after the encounter, the First Order pulled its forces from Kijimi before the Sith Eternal destroyed the planet.
==Personality and traits==
Plesko Marno had brown skin and eyes.
==Equipment==
Marno wore a red armored blast vest over a red and gray robe with jakobeast-fur sleeves. The vest had a data "cold box" ring module on the back in which he kept his stolen navigational data.
