Midge Pravin
Midge is a Besalisk who used to be a cyberneticist. He became wanted by the empire when it was found he experimented with illegal cybernetics. It was also found that the experiments were not on willing subjects.
With this Midge was on the run so he called in a few favours. One of which was a certain director named Corto. Midge had installed his “Improved” cybernetic brain implant. It limited his sense of taste so Corto could eat disgusting cheap food but it wasn’t quite legal. Corto got Midge a spot on a transport bound for a new colony that just happened to be hidden from the empire.
When he got settled on Erimia Midge set up a blacksmith shop turning scrap into parts. His business went well for the most part as a lot of Avaron machines broke down and needed parts. They knew the parts were too expensive to ship in.
On the side Midge still does cybernetics but it’s strictly off the books…
