Eenio Liekeas (character)

Early Life
Born on Corellia to a wealthy, aristocratic family, Eenio led a pampered life until the age of eight in the suburbs of Coronet. His father was a leading politician within the city of Coronet and his mother was the daughter of the CEO of a moderately successful starship manufacturing company. The trouble began, however, when his father decided to run for Mayor of Coronet. Although he did pass the Imperial Security Bureau's background check, he was placed on a watch list because of an unaccounted for 10-year gap in his younger years. Eenio's father, Lord Tyko, was tailed by Imperial agents for two weeks preceding his public campaign announcement and stayed clean. However, the incumbent mayor knew through the grapevine that Lord Tyko was running and that Tyko was far more popular than himself. The mayor planted evidence against Lord Tyko involving the murder of a CorSec Investigator who was covering a corruption case. The mayor then, knowing that the evidence's falsehood would be discovered, placed evidence in Lord Tyko's office of gun-running for the Rebellion. The Imperial Inquisition was on it in an instant--officially, Lord Tyko was detained indefinitely in an Imperial Correction Facility near Tyrena pending investigation; unofficially, Lord Tyko was taken to the Dathomir Imperial Prison, tortured for three days, and finally executed with his corpse being left on the plains to be picked apart by the animals. As a side note, the incumbent mayor lost the mayoral race to another candidate, but later became a high-ranking Imperial Inquisitor.

As for the rest of the family, they were blacklisted and officially could not be employed by anyone loyal to the Empire. Lady Tyko's father took Eenio in as his mother died of grief some days after the arrest. Eenio lived with his grandfather for another seven years before his death. In the years preceding his grandfather's death, however, the starship company, Liekeas Industries, was slowly being pushed out of the market. Another Corellian company had also placed the company in a vice grip by buying up 45% of the stock--outvoting even Eenio's grandfather. The merger was pushed through six months before his death leaving Eenio virtually penniless. After laying his grandfather to rest, he sold the Liekeas estate and used the money to get away from the planet he had come to curse.

Middle Years
Ten years later, at the age of 25, Eenio was on the run from Imperial agents again, because he had forgotten about the blacklist on his name Tyko. He had created a space mining company in the vicinity of Yavin IV using the skills his grandfather had taught him. The company was small, but extremely successful using a new, more efficient mining blasters on their ships. Eenio felt chained down by the company, however, and, when the Trade Federation offered to buy the company, Eenio accepted. The merger caused huge news as it secured a monopoly over the space-mining industry in the Yavin system by the Trade Federation. It was because of this and that Eenio had patented the new blasters in his real name, Eenio Tyko, that the Imperial Inquisition found the connection between him and the blacklisted family of near 20 years back on Corellia. Before Imperial agents came knocking at his door however, Eenio was able to sell the patents to the Trade Federation as well, making his total fortune an astounding 300 million credits. Two days later, Eenio was arrested on the doorstep of his newly-purchased Nabooian mansion, his properties were "donated" to the Empire, and he was deported to a labor camp in the outer rim where he was to spend the rest of his days.

It was then that Jabba decided that he wanted Eenio for his business-management skills, and a contract was put out for him. Han Solo and Chewbacca rescued Eenio, now broken and barely able to use a gun, from the Imperial space station and brought him to the safe Tansarii Point Station where he could begin to learn the ropes of the universe again...
