Native to the Malastare, Trok spent most his young adult life in an Imperial 'labor camp,' harvesting Malastarian fuel as a heavy equipment operator and mechanic. Little better than a slave, Trok greatly resented his Imperial masters, and, like most Dugs, has a general dislike for the Gran.

Freedom came his way, though, when an insurgent group (predating the formation of the Rebel Alliance) raided the labor camp and freed many of his fellow slaves. Although the offer to join the growing rebellion was tempting, Trok decided to instead make his own way to the Outer Rim.

Life as an equipment operator meant he had respectable driving and piloting skills, and he leveraged these skills to sustain himself. Although some consider him to be a 'smuggler,' he has never forayed deep into the underworld, instead taking on nearly any kind of piloting work (especially concerning land vehicles), and mostly content with going where the roads and spacelanes take him.

"Anywhere but here!"
From the moment he escaped from the Imperial labor camp, Trok has been moving almost constantly, not content to put down roots anywhere, and eager to move on to the next new planet, star system, or space station.

Although he doesn't mind being stuck on one planet for an extended period (as long as he has someplace new to go), being confined to Mos Shuuta has been an exceptionally grating experience.

Trok has ruddy-brown skin for a Dug, and is considerably sun-baked. He generally prefers to wear jumpsuits fit for driving vehicles, goggles, and an old cap and cloth scarf to protect his face when driving.

Unfortunately, due to the toxic and unregulated conditions of the Imperial labor camp on Malastare, Trok has a rough voice as if he's been smoking death sticks all his life, and often is beset by dry coughing fits. Trok can speak Basic with relative fluency.

Nearly as rough as his voice and appearance is Trok's personality. Although not as aggressive as other Dugs may be, Trok is still bitter over his lot in life, and is rather prickly with others, although he mostly keeps it to skepticism, apathy, and snide comments. Although not a personable fellow, he has no particular qualms about working with others.
