Raised by a prominent technician that worked for the galactic republic, Zoomah’s life of luxury only lasted through the earliest years of his life. His adoptive father did not agree with the creation of the Empire, and was swiftly silenced.
Narrowly escaping death himself, Zoomah spent years in the seedy lower levels of Coruscant, fending for himself, and scavenging his way through the streets.

At the ripe old age of 15, he stowed away on a ship, only to find himself stranded on the junk planet Raxus Prime deep in the Outer Rim.

Though dismayed with his new home at first, he soon rediscovered his lost love of building crazy devices from any parts he could find. Over the next 10 years, utilizing long forgotten skills learned at a very young age from his father, he became the most notorious junker on the planet. This earned him the moniker “Tink” (It has been said that he once built a working speeder bike out of used droid parts) His need for new and exotic parts often landed him in trouble, for stealing them from visiting ships. One such experience saw him abducted by a Hutt for attempting to steal parts of the Hutt's engine while a deal went down.

Though at first the Hutt meant to kill him, he soon realized (after Tink managed to escape his bonds and wreak havoc throughout the ship) that the young man’s skills could be put to many uses.

Now deeply indebted to the Hutt (as much for his audacity to steal from him as for the sparing of his life), his skills are at the Hutt’s disposal. He has had the opportunity to learn many skills throughout his tenure with the Hutt, and is quite confident in his creations…no matter how often they explode.
