Bardo Nala

Bardo Nala was a Weequay male pirate, mercenary, and later a soldier of the Rebel Alliance.

History
Sometime prior to the start of the Clone Wars, Bardo served Jabba the Hutt as a palace guard on Tatooine. During the war, he left to join Hondo Ohnaka and his gang of Weequay pirates, in which Bardo specialized in the use of heavy weapons during boardings and raids. A few months after the war's end, Bardo was aboard Hondo's flagship when it was shot down during an engagement with an Imperial light cruiser; Bardo survived and, aboard a gunship docked in the flagship, fled the crash site. He returned to Hutt Space for a few years and fought as a mercenary in the Hutts' wars with their mortal rival, the Black Sun. While fighting against Black Sun mercenaries on Nar Kreeta, Bardo was critically wounded by a thermal detonator, causing him to lose his leg and endured significant damage to his other limbs. Luckily, he was recovered by his peers and received medical treatment including a cybernetic leg. He was allowed to peacefully end his mercenary contract with the Hutts and spent the following years in retirement, enjoying the wealth he acquired over the years as he traveled through Hutt Space as a tourist.

During the Galactic Civil War, Bardo was back on Tatooine when he was in the middle of an engagement between Imperial Army troopers and Rebel commandos. Mistaking him to also be a Rebel commando, Bardo was captured by Imperial soldiers and secured in a nearby transport. He was in the transport when it was destroyed by a strafing run by Rebel starfighters just hours later, though yet again survived. He was shortly after discovered by Rebel soldiers, who asked for his help in navigating the terrain; he accepted the request and after helping the Rebels complete their mission, decided to leave with them to a nearby outpost and joined their unit as a Rebel soldier. Armed with a TL-50 heavy blaster captured from one of the Imperial soldiers earlier, Bardo served with his unit in numerous operations, including a reconnaissance mission on Yavin IV (and was subsequently part of the strike team that infiltrated the Death Star prior to its destruction), a mission to defend a Rebel outpost from Imperial saboteurs on Hoth, and even saw ground combat in the pivotal Battle of Endor. For his valor during the Galactic Civil War, Bardo received various medals before retiring on Chandrila, where he met a Weequay woman (a former slave in Hutt Space that escaped captivity during a Rebel operation) and fathered a son, who would grow up to fight the First Order as part of the Resistance.
