Zix'si grew up in silence.

He was barely older than a larva when the Imperial army attacked the asteroid he lived on. They had suspected the hive was developing weapons that could be used against the Empire. What could have been a simple inspection was instead a bloodbath, the Imperials instead coming in with poison gas and Stormtroopers. Kir'xa, someone who was practically an older brother to Zix'si, hid him inside some of the colony's machinery, giving him a respirator, some food, and water for several days, before snapping his antennae so he wouldn't be heard by Stormtroopers seeking out radio frequencies. The pain was blinding, and Zix'si passed out.

When Zix'si came to, he couldn't hear the usual chatter of his hive. He could hear some wandering outside, but dared not peek. For what felt like days, maybe weeks, he hid. A search party was sent by the Technocracy, but he couldn't hear their chatter, and so the hive was assumed annihilated.

When Zix'si finally ventured back out into his hive, all that was left was a massacre. He spent over a decade, alone. The Imperials had destroyed all long-range communication in the attack. His antennae healed, but he still never heard more chatter. Finally, he was one day found by an Alliance scouting party, seeking out hidden bases among the asteroids. Finally, he was among people. Strangers, but people still. Once again, sound entered his life.

Vengeance. Zix'si's hatred of the Empire has become fairly deep-seated.

Sabotage. Zix'si wishes to completely undercut, undermine, and erode the Imperial forces, wishing to collapse the ground from under them.

Duty: 10

Eating Magenge tainted by the poison gas left Zix'si with some odd disfigurements. He grew more slowly than the rest of his hive would have, reaching a mere 5 feet tall, fairly short for a Verpine. It also caused his carahide to become permanently discoloured an orangeish colour, regardless of how many times it molted. He regularly will go on missions loaded with as much gear as he can carry, his body loaded with backpacks, tool belts, pouches, and other miscellaneous gear.
