Zav Tek is a Selonian who grew up on Selonia. Due to his people's very matriarchal structure, he always felt undervalued as just a grunt worker. Eventually, due to his growing frustration, he worked his way out into the greater galaxy by offering his services to a Corellian freighter captain. However, the Empire has begun making his life more and more difficult as propaganda against aliens continues to build, and so Zav has decided to throw in with the Rebellion in hopes of stopping the lies being spread about his people, even if the humans of Corellia don't really believe them. He thinks that any government that relies on lies to achieve their goals is not doing its best for the society as a whole.

Belief - no society will benefit from a foundation built on deceit, and so the Empire must be removed from power to ensure a successful and productive future for the galaxy.

Combat Victory: Zav is driven to show that the Alliance can hold its own against Imperial forces in any troop vs. troop engagement. He wants to engage the Empire's military—their best, whenever possible—and provide more victories for the Alliance to tout to the galaxy as proof it can ultimately win the war. This means daring raids, excellent tactics, and acquiring the best firepower possible.

He has inherited his people's distaste for dishonesty, but wants to distance himself from the very matriarchal structure and show that the males are still competent for more than just grunt work.

Physically, he is about average height for his people at 6'1". He has black fur splotched with white.
