STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:

• Experienced astronavigator, pilot, explorer, and resistance fighter.
• Experienced Force practitioner, raised as a Warden of the Sky. However, Jorus no longer uses the Force except at serious need. Since the evacuation of Phu in the early 840s, Jorus has been an associate of the Dagoyan Masters, and his approach to the Force is quite close to the Dagoyan way.
• Old, with all associated challenges to speed, stamina, durability, and continence.
• No Force abilities other than an overriding specialty in instinctive astrogation.
• Terrible with a lightsaber.

APPEARANCE: Jorus is indistinguishable from any other Outer Rim mechanic or independent transport captain. His hands and coveralls tend to feature stains from very cheap lum, hyperdrive coolant, and tomo-spiced Karkan ribenes. He was frequently accompanied by his old droid Saggy, later Saga Merrill.

BIOGRAPHY: See above.

SHIP:

• The Gossamer — a long-range exploration vessel, multiple expeditions since the 850s.
• The City of Nar Shaddaa — a repair and salvage vessel, Jorus' primary vessel since the 880s.

KILLS: None that I can recall. Darth Carnifex 's balls at one point.

BOUNTIES COLLECTED: Just one, but I can't remember who. It's been a while.
