Dash Mechma

## **Pre-Campaign History**

Dash was born on Reecee to Leena and Isnor Mechma. Isnor was a Mechanic for the rebellion on Yavin and continued to serve the Republic Fleet until he retired when his wife Leena, who worked in the Mess at Yavin, was pregnant with Dash. They moved to Reecee and opened up the Dash Diner, and raised Dash there. When Dash was 10, his father passed away. It was his dying wish that Dash go to the Praxeum as he had demonstrated a degree of force sensitivity. Leena took him back to Yavin to learn with the Jedi.

## **Campaign History**

Several months after coming to Yavin IV, Dash was quite homesick. Master Serenadi, seeing him retreat from his lessons and becoming anti-social, recruited some initiates to take Dash to his home world of Reecee. The group of students met Leena Mechma, Dash’s mother and proprietor of Dash Diner. The students, Dash and DD-3 scared off members of the local gang “The Fangs” through a series of hijinks and mechanical tomfoolery and they promised to stop harassing Leena for collection money. Dash went back to Yavin IV with renewed energy and five new friends.

Several months later, while in the refresher of his favorite ship, “The Ship Bucket”. Dash was an unknowing stowaway on the homicidal imperial droid BB-9E’s mad escape from the Praxeum. Dash was rescued and was able to reprogram BB-9E to be far friendlier.

Dash also stowed away with Proko to help build the new XJ model X Wings and "rode" in one with Master Voss Proko.

One day, Leena sent Dash a care package which included a selection of belongings from his father's days working as a rebellion mechanic on Yavin.

Included inside was a journal in which Isnor detailed a creature he saw in the wilds of Yavin, but was never able to capture to show to his crush and future wife Leena. Dash decided to retrace his father's steps and track down the Yavin Mantabeast to prove to his mother that it did in fact exist. With a team of Jedi helping, Dash built a river-faring boat and followed the path his father took to find the beast. Navigating through some challenging waters and some strange wildlife, they eventually came to the spot and spotted the great Yavin Mantabeast.

## **Associated NPCs**

Master Voss Proko: Due to Dash’s fascination with all things technical Voss and Dash have spent a lot of time together. Voss has become a bit of a father figure to Dash.

Master Angelo Serenadi: As Serenadi is chiefly in charge of supervising the youngling’s education, he has taken a special interest in Dash, especially when Dash was considering leaving the order. Serenadi charged a group of initiates to escort him home and help cheer him up, convincing him to stay with the Jedi Order.

Knight Phinffi Pol: Dash has a curious mind that is hungry for answers and Knight Pol is more than happy to dish out whatever knowledge she can.

BB-9E: Took Dash (unknowingly) in his escape from the Paxeum.

Ness Nazai: As the ringleader of the merry band of younglings, Ness and Dash have gotten into a wealth of shenanigans.

## **Associated PCs**

Lavion: Met Dash on his trip home to Reecee. Unknowingly taught him that what he was calling the "Ship Bucket" was in fact the "Shit Bucket"

Zesk Zediz: As one of Master Proko's padawans, some non-zero amount of his time is spent making sure Dash doesn't accidentally run off with anything that's got repulsors or a hyperdrive. Zesk helped Dash build the JSS Isnor out of a scrapped speeder and took him diving to see the Yavin Mantabeast up close.
