Okuvim

Okuvim the Younger, colloquially known as Okuvim, was a Twi'lek female who served as a scout in the Alliance to Restore the Republic during its war against the Galactic Empire. Around 4 ABY, while on a mission to the planet Mataou, Okuvim was captured by a group of ro hypa trainers and venom dealers, and she lost contact with the Rebel Alliance. Concerned with Okuvim's disappearance, rebel agent Tam Bastion hired a young smuggler to find her. The smuggler traveled to Mataou and rescued Okuvim from the criminals. Sometime later, Okuvim recruited the smuggler to run errands on behalf of the Rebel Alliance.
