A hulking Crolute, **Unkar Plutt** is the junk boss of Jakku, doling survival rations out to scavengers in return for salvage from the Graveyard of Ships. The ruthless Unkar uses hired muscle to enforce his stranglehold on barter, sending his thugs to punish any scavenger who dares dabble in unauthorized trades or negotiates too aggressively. The Blobfish – as scavengers call him behind his broad back -- has collected all matter of weapons, gears and ships over the years, including a battered Corellian freighter he keeps under a tarp on the outskirts of Niima Outpost.

## Biography

### Early Dealings

**Unkar Plutt** established himself on Jakku sometime after the Battle of Jakku, making a living trading salvage for food rations to local scavengers and reselling the parts to spacers that wanted to buy parts off-the-books. Roughly sixteen years after the Battle of Endor, a young girl who called herself Rey was left with him on Jakku. Rey worked for Unkar directly until she began coordinating with other scavengers. The young teen eventually struck out on her own, becoming one of the best scavengers on Jakku. Because of that, Unkar's thugs had orders to make sure she was left alone.

At some point in his career, Unkar stole a YT-1300 light freighter from the Irving Boys, which turned out to be the *Millennium Falcon*. Over Rey's objections, Unkar installed a compressor and primer in the ship's systems. The ship would sit in Unkar's yard for years under a tarp. Plutt also organized a failed mission to collect valuables from Carbon Ridge, rumored to house a hidden Imperial base. Stung by the failure, Plutt never talked about it again.

About 30 years after the Battle of Endor, Unkar had bought out or driven out his competition in Niima Outpost, creating a monopoly for his business. Even the Constabulary answered to him. Unkar had total control over Niima Outpost.

### Junk Boss of Jakku

As Niima Outpost's only Junk Boss, Unkar spent most of his time doling-ration packs to scavengers from his stall in the Concession Stand in exchange for their salvage.

One day, Rey came to sell salvage accompanied by a droid, one that Unkar recognized as being one wanted by the First Order. He offered to buy the droid for 60 portions, but Rey refused. Refusing to take "*No*" for an answer, Unkar dispatched two of his thugs to steal the droid, but Rey easily subdued them.

Unkar didn't have a chance to form another plan to steal Rey's droid, since almost immediately after Rey defeated his thugs, the First Order began an attack on Niima Outpost. In the commotion of the Stormtroopers and TIE Fighters, Unkar watched as Rey, the droid, and a defecting Stormtrooper named Finn hijacked the *Millennium Falcon* from his yard. His screams that the ship was his were ignored.

### Confrontation on Takodana

Unwilling to lose the *Millennium Falcon*, Unkar and his thugs trailed the ship to Maz Kanata's castle. There, he assaulted Rey physically, wanting the ship back and revenge on his former scavenger and the droid for the misery they caused him. The commotion caught the attention of the Wookiee Chewbacca, one of Rey's new friends. When Chewbacca indicated that he would fight him if he did not release Rey, Plutt laughed it off, wondering what a lone Wookiee could do against him and his thugs. Chewbacca demonstrated succinctly why it wasn't wise to upset a Wookiee by ripping off one of Plutt's arms.
