Sellaccc Orryak

Sellaccc Orryak was aTrandoshan who led a biker gang known as theGanguls onTenoo.

Biography[]

Background[]

Orryak was a resident of theplanet Tenoo in theOuter Rim. At some point during theHigh Republic Era, she formed aspeeder bike gang called The Ganguls, led by herself, with theAnzellan mechanicToda-Joh and theQuarrenJooro "Speeds" Jarrot as members. The three of them rode into a small township known asAklyrr Bend and managed to oust themayor, setting themselves up as despots over the community. They began to take what ever they wanted from the townsfolk while residing in the mayor's office and employing the town'syouth to steal from neighboring communities. The theft of a speeder from the town ofKublop Springs by one such youth, ahuman namedOri, whom Orryak knew by name, ended up drawing attention to the gang's operations.^[1]

The Ganguls[]

Orryak discovered this when a group of younglings from the localJedi Temple entered the grounds of the former mayor's office after getting past Speeds. One of them loudly proclaimed that Speeds and the others were indeed the Ganguls and had a stolen speeder. The cleverness of the younglings amused Orryak as she emerged from the office. Speeds was instantly concerned for himself and apologized for not keeping them on the other side of the gate. She didn't reply to his apology, but approached the younglings and attempted to scare them away with a show of her weapon while suggesting they leave.^[1]

The younglings stood their ground and ignited theirtraining sabers. Orryak laughed at how the younglings thought they could actually stop the Ganguls. Toda-Joh disarmed the younglings, and Orryak ordered Speeds to trap the younglings with anelectric net. With the kids captured, Orryak told Speeds to lock them in the town's holding cell until the gang figured out what to do with them. She also instructed him to have Ori stand guard, indicating that the boy had shown himself to be competent.

Before the Ganguls could do anything to them, the younglings and townsfolk had amassed outside the mayor's office. Walking out to try to bring the town back into compliance, Orryak learned that Ori let the younglings out of the cell. She told him that he of all people should know better. Toda-Joh suggested that the gang flee as they were outnumbered, and Speeds echoed the sentiment. Orryak angrily told the town that if they want to drive them out, fine, but they'd regret it. The town replied that they just wanted their stuff back and the Ganguls out of Aklyyr Bend, and Orryak told them they'll get it back.^[1]

She then closed the gate and with the others loaded a bit of stolen property on arepulsorlift sled attached to the stolen speeder. She and the group broke down part of the wall around the mayor's office and tried to flee down the river but were pursued by the younglings and Ori. Approaching a waterfall, Toda-Joh pointed out a possible exit through a cave. Orryak turned the speeder hard, but it was too wide to fit through the cave entrance. Forced to leave the stolen property and speeder behind, she vowed that the Ganguls would return, and teach the town a lesson when they did. The Ganguls escaped their pursuers, without the property they had acquired while in control of Aklyrr Bend.^[1]

The Talon takeover[]

Shortly after being run out of Aklyrr's Bend, the Ganguls learned of an abandoned outpost on Denoo. Sellaccc hoped to obtain a ship and profit from selling the parts left there. Rather than risk the ire of the local Jedi or other authority by taking an honest vessel, Sellaccc and the Ganguls ambushed the local pirate,Taborr to steal his vessel- the Talon. The Ganguls did so rather easily, as Taborr was merely a youngling and his two compatriots fumbled at handling a smoke bomb sent their way. Having boarded the Talon, the Ganguls made their way into the orbit of Tenoo. Once there, Sellaccc instructed Speeds to set a course for Denoo, only to hear a transmission from the hall just behind the cockpit. In that transmission, Taborr was scolding his compatriots for calling him during his attempt to retake the vessel. Hearing this Sellaccc confidently opened the door and questioned Taborr's ability to regain the Talon. Speeds casually intervened, telling Sellaccc that he'd handle it and disarming Taborr. Sellaccc then attempted to take hold of Taborr who evaded her. She motioned to Speeds for the weapon and was provided such. Avoiding Taborr's repulsor blast she found an opening and took hold of him. The young pirate insisted he was still the captain and the Talon still his ship to which Sellaccc told him that it wasn't anymore before locking him into a holding cell aboard the Talon. When Taborr's crewmates sent another communication they found themselves face to face with Sellaccc who told them that Taborr had been captured and they'd be captured too if they tried to take him back.

Approaching Denoo Sellaccc went down to the holding cell to check in on Taborr, who was in the midst of trying to break theforce barrier with his repulsor bracelets. Frustrated at his inability to do so, Taborr demanded to know who Sellaccc was. Kneeling down to see the young pirate eye to eye. she instead replied that those who had taken his ship were the Ganguls and they had plans. She told him that the Ganguls had outgrown Tenoo and had big plans for the Talon- to use the ship to become the greatest pirates in the sector. When Taborr claimed to be the greatest in the sector, Sellaccc indifferently replied "... whatever kid."

Upon landing on Denoo, Sellaccc ordered the other Ganguls to collect and load droid parts onto the Talon. While waiting in the cockpit for them to finish she heard her captive shouting angrily and learned that the Jedi were there as Taborr berated his compatriots for bringing them. With a growl of agitation, Sellaccc left the cockpit to see what was going on for herself. Apologizing for interrupting she demanded Taborr's compatriots leave. She then leapt with Taborr's weapon in hand towardsEB-3 and attempted to land a killing blow to obtain more droid parts but failed. After seeing theGamorreanPord scuttle off and hide, Sellaccc began to become less outright aggressive and more toying in a stalking way. However as the crew evaded her hunting she became more and more agitated- eventually throwing all the loaded crates and parts out of the ship in an attempt to leave no place for them to hide. Even Taborr reached the point of telling his crewmates to give up and Sellaccc echoed that sentiment. It was at that point she fell for a trap and was captured in an empty crate by EB-3.

However the weight of the droid who put the crate over her was not enough to hold her. Sellaccc kicked both the droid and crate off her and became thrilled at having finally caught the two she had been hunting for. She pondered aloud what to do with them only for Taborr to demand she leave his friends alone. She demanded to know what he was gonna do about it from the cell with his friends so helpless, but her delight was cut short when a scavenged droid reactivated by Taborr's crew tripped her. While she was recovering from the fall the crewmates of Taborr freed him and she found herself in a fight as the three tried to take her on. Sellaccc threw Pord against a crate and nearly lost an eye to Taborr's weapon before tumbling out of the Talon and onto the sands of Denoo. With the Jedi arriving, Sellaccc and the Ganguls got to their speeder bikes (presumably loaded onto the Talon when they took it and then unloaded upon arriving on Denoo) and left. The Jedi did not pursue.^[5]

Happy trails Nubs[]

Having somehow made it off Denoo and back to Tenoo Sellaccc started looking for ways to obtain enough funds to purchase a starship for the Ganguls. In this search she was informed of a group seeking to establish a new farm and that such group possessed a well digging drill. Her source even informed her of where it would be stowed on the way to the new farm site. Rather than take work as escort for this group she opted to ambush them and take the well digging drill to resell, which would give the Ganguls enough funds to purchase their own ship and as she desired have the chance to become the best pirates in the sector. With the wagon train successfully halted the gang piloted their speeder bikes through the group towards the last wagon where the drill was stowed and hitched it to her speeder. The whole operation went off with out a snag- no resistance, no excessive force on their end either- in and out. She commented about the ease of it all while speeding away with the rest of her gang.

After a good distance away Speeds asked what they would do now. She informed him that they'd take the drill to their hideout, see if it works, and then sell it at the outpost north of their hideout as the folks there will not question where it came from. Shortly after explaining such she heard the hitch on her speedbike make a sound as if coming loose and looking back saw a blue furred youngling Jedi fiddling with it. She was, actually a little amused as she brought the speeder to a sudden halt causing the momentum to send the little one toppling into the path ahead. She pulled up with a drawn long ax as Speeds told the little one who had his training saber ignited that it was over. The little stowaway extinguished the saber and with a sigh handed it over to Sellaccc who kneeled down to be at eye level and rather sarcastically stated that he put up a good fight for a little furball. The youngling informed her that his name is Nubs and she told the gang to put him in binds so they could get going.

With Nubs in the passenger seat of her speeder she and the gang pulled into their hideout. She told the gang to check that the drill actually works and started to walk towards the cooking fire of the hideout to fix up a meal with Nubs following. She heard Speeds mention that the drill was heavier than it looked and while still looking away the sounds of it falling over. Turning around she saw Nubs had caught the drill before it could fall upon Speeds. Speeds thanked Nubs and she checked on the drill before commenting that he's stronger than he looks and knowing very well he wouldn't join them made a motion at the offer as a subtle nudge towards Speeds' consciousness. Naturally Nubs turned her down, as she expected, and she let him know she knew he wouldn't. Still, she told Nubs that as she's worked up an appetite they should get some food, stating that Nubs has earned some for himself after saving Speeds. The little youngling jumped rather excitedly about that.

Having prepared food for the two of them Sellaccc sat opposite of Nubs and kept up what little fun she was having trying to recruit him. It'd been a while since she'd gotten youths working for the gang- the last was back in Ackla's Bend. While doing so her gang's mechanic informed her that more Jedi where on the way, Nubs' communicator which they had confiscated had gotten a transmission from the other Jedi. She informed the mechanic that she had a plan and told Nubs that they just got a warning that some dangerous creatures are on the way. She asked if he can use his strength to move a boulder to block the hideout's entrance to keep the creatures away. Nubs agrees to do so but while moving the boulder heard his friends on the way. Sellaccc notices that he has picked up a sound in the distance but not that he has identified it and urges him to hurry until she realized that her plan didn't work out as Nubs tosses the boulder to the side. She resorted to an alternative plan of using her long ax to collapse the entrance. It would have seemed as if the gang was trapped but she informed them that there is another entrance, she told them to follow her as they needed to sell the drill even with it untested.

With the wagon rehitched to her speederback and the gang out she sped towards the outpost thinking the Jedi far behind, possibly trying to dig into the collapsed tunnel but she is proven wrong when one of them makes their presence known. The young Jedi tries to reason with her, that the farmers need it to have freshwater at the farm site. She tells the youngling the farmers will be fine but cut herself off from explain why when she heard a pound against the wagon and saw another young Jedi clinging to it. Speeds swiftly tells the mechanic to fire the net cannon but was rammed by Nubs and sent off road. The wagon was unhitched and Sellaccc demanded the Jedi give it back to her as she brings her speeder bike to a stop. Seeing Nubs she tried to get him to hand it over, saying they are friends- but Nubs knows better and refuses. She got back on her speeder bike and told him that he'll regret having done so as she sped off towards where Speeds and the mechanic had landed when forced off road.^[6]

Heroes and hotshots[]

Sellaccc and the Ganguls having saw an opportunity to take a ship for themselves took it from some friends who where no longer friends after the theft. She renamed the ship Rathtar's Revenge and in addition to the ship acquired a droid pilot for the craft. While the Rathtar's Revenge was an impressive vessel a pirate benefits from having smaller ships and after a village on a nearby world was hit by a storm she saw an opportunity to acquire a few starfighters. While Speeds and her mechanic attempted to slice into a starfighter she was approach from behind by a stranger in white and brown attire. The stranger introduced himself as a Jedi Padawan which prompted Sellaccc to sigh, as if the Jedi younglings where not a nuisance enough. Though before she could get herself composed the very younglings who'd been giving her trouble joined the Padawan.

Sellaccc took the opportunity to deviate focus from being promptly stopped by catching up. The younglings had new robes and she proudly displayed her new ship. The Padawan brought the focus back to stopping her by stating that the ships don't belong to her, which refocused the younglings. Sellaccc stated that such doesn't matter because pirates take what they want so bringing that up was not going make her stop. The Padawan rushed forward with his lightsaber and Sellaccc brought her staff to meet his blade. She found the battle more than she was use to, as her previous battles had been with younglings. When the Padawan complimented her staff she told him it was Beskar steel so no lightsaber could cut into it. Still even with the staff she could tell she was not ready to defeat a Padawan and ordered Speeds to net him. Once the Padawan was rendered no longer a threat she ordered her new droid, 88, to fire the claws in order to tow the starfighters aboard. 88 catches one starfighter but the other claw nearly hit Speeds prompting Sellaccc to momentarily forget about the younglings in order to reprimand her droid. She climbed onto the captured starfighter and ordered Speeds and her mechanic to dig out the other claw and attach it to the second starfighter. She took to the task of slicing into the fighter cockpit while Speeds and her mechanic did as ordered however the Padawan and Kai Brightstar arrive just as she had sliced in.

Declaring that the Jedi don't know when to quite she charged with her staff and the Padawan met her while ordering Kai to free the starfighter. Kai succeeds and Sellaccc is hit, by a levitating crate- the first time she had actually been hit at all in a fight with a Jedi. Knocked onto the ground she quickly got back up as the Padawan approaches. Enhancing her effort beyond what she'd had to in the past she managed to disarm the Padawan. While taunting him by asking where his smile was now, she got that same excited look she had when fighting the Talon crew on Denoo. The Padawan even called to the youngling Kai Brightstar for help which only amused her even more as she prepared to impale the Padawan with the sharp end of her staff only for Kai to knock crates between her and her prey. Loosing her focus she lashed out with her staff at Kai but her strikes where avoided and her staff became stuck in one of the crates. The Padawan used the force to knock barrels into her which roll over her. Fortunately for her the Padawan prioritized recovering the stolen starfighters over the capture of Sellaccc. Once recovered she ordered 88 to fly the Rathtar's Revenge away. She contacted Speeds telling him that she was leaving and telling him to catch up. Speeds did not use the second starfighter because its cockpit was still sealed and while telling her to wait tried to run after the ship. Sellaccc did not wait and the ship flew into orbit while the rest of her gang ran out of town.^[7]
