This next character was revealed in the PC version of "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" video game. Although he may not be on one of the 26 moons of the red gas giant Yavin Prime, he resides inside a station. For those who are not familiar with Rodians, they are a reptilian humanoid species, native to their homeworld Rodia, and were infamous for their violent culture. One such Rodian, named Greedo, was seen at a Tatooine cantina in "Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope".
Suvam Tan: a Rodian merchant, operating the Yavin Space Station during the Jedi Civil War.
Unattainable were his accomplishments as an inventor, for Tan was apprenticed, during his slavery on Yavin 4, by a Baragwin weaponsmith. Shortly after the end of the Exar Kun War, Suvam lost friends but earned his freedom, yet there was much in store.
Ventures across the habitable moons of Yavin soon led Tan to find salvageable parts. Not long into his search, Suvam took up residence inside Yavin Station, once a supply depot but abandoned by the Republic, just after the war's end.
After his trading post was set and started gaining revenue, attracting attention from the Exchange, Tan found while scavenging two most notable, legendary crystal artifacts: Heart of the Guardian and the Mantle of the Force. The two crystals would prove use to a special customer, whose needs for one crystal would come at a time well-spent.
Monetary gain was bliss for the Rodian, when the Jedi Padawan Aaron Klann docked his ship, the Ebon Hawk, inside Tan's station. During his quest to find the Star Forge, Klann would trade and play pazaak with the Rodian, who did not mind the game.
Trandoshan thugs were not far behind, but they were no match for the Jedi Padawan, who helped Suvam stop them for good. In return, Tan showed Klann his most private stock of merchandise, which included Mantle of the Force and Heart of the Guardian. Aaron's decision to use one of the crystals seemed sane.
As the years passed and the low-quality Yavin Station crumbled, Suvam hid several of his most prized possessions on three habitable moons of Yavin. His intentions were clear: sending a data crystal, containing information for finding these items, to his only son on Rodia, their homeworld.
No sooner had the freighter, carrying the data crystal, undocked that Yavin Station exploded. The freighter propelled into the asteroid moon, Yavin 22. Suvam's remains would be found millennia later by a descendant of his, Suz Tanwa, whose shock was a silence, unheard.
