Background
Cadik Targa hails from Ord Mantell originally. The Cathar have often been refugees, and during the Galactic Cold War (SWTOR), they were able to found a colony even amidst the infighting happening on the planet. However, the Cathar were never fully welcome on Ord Mantell, or really in much of the galaxy, and as such, many would find themselves on the margins of society. The Targas had the unfortunate luck of never landing on all fours. His parents worked hard, but after his two younger siblings were born, they contracted the Mantellian fever: the remnant of an old Bioweapon the Sith unleased on the planet during the war. As per usual, the majority of the alien and impoverished settlements were built closer to the quarantine zones. When his parents died, Cadik was all his younger siblings had left. The three of them had some basic manual labor jobs at the spaceport, but that wasn't enough to pay off their parents medical bills, their rent, or to ever be able to move off of Ord Mantell. But, his father had taught him how to hunt. He was quick, silent, and always alert. So, he began pilfering bits and pieces from the cargo they helped unload every day. One day, he stole a datapad along with a pack of cards and a cred stick. The datapad had information about a underground casino practically in his own backyard, along with every piece of information he could possibly need to rob them blind. After this first successful hit, he returned to the starship captain who he had stolen the info from and confessed...with a few conditions of course. He offered 50% of the score if he was willing to fly him off planet and set him up with more info for future scores. This captain Lothric put him in touch with the crime boss Nyx--a young Pauun woman who had begun acting as a sort of shadow broker in the Outer Rim.
After a few years of doing jobs for Nyx, Cadik has been able to send his siblings to school rather than the docks every day, pay off their parents medical debt...but rent is still due. But maybe he is one last score away from getting him and his family off of Ord Mantell for good.
