Danyar Meez

Danyar Meez was a Selkath who joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic.

Early life
Danyar was born on Manaan, like the rest of the Selkath race. As a young man he dreamed of leaving the planet. One day while he was on one of Manaans islands he witnessed a ship crash into the ocean. Noticing that a number of firaxan sharks were moving to attack the remains of the ship he swam out to it, dragged the unconscious pilot out of the cockpit and managed to get him onto land and repel the sharks by using his poison tipped claws. After regaining consciousness the pilot revealed himself to be Jedi Knight Rahm Kota. Kota was grateful that Danyar had saved his life, and once his fellow Jedi arrived to bring Kota back to Coruscant, he agreed to take Danyar with him. Once on Coruscant Danyar began studying the various species of the galaxy, their languages, homeworlds as well as vehicles and weaponry. Once he had learned all that he wanted to, he became a mercenary.

Kota's militia
"The Empire is pure evil. They enslaved my race, stole our kolto and killed my species and sold them to the Hutts as food!"

However when the Clone Wars began Kota tracked down Danyar and offered him the opportunity to fight alongside him in his militia, as Kota didn't trust the clones. Danyar accepted and fought alongside Kota several times. However when Order 66 was initiated, Kota became a wanted criminal. Selkath and most of Kota's militia remained loyal to Kota and joined him in hiding. Danyar was present at the Battle of the TIE Fighter Construction Facility, but did not run into Starkiller. He became concerned when he lost contact with Kota and journeyed to the control room where Kota was. On his way there he encountered both his fellow militia and stormtroopers, all dead. Once he arrived in the control tower he found only the dead bodies of several militiamen. Knowing that without Kota their forces would lose, he decided to flee. On the way to a hangar he encountered a wounded soldier. Danyar questioned him about what had happened and was told about Starkiller arriving and then slaughtering everyone. Danyar helped the soldier up and the two managed to reach a MAAT, along with several other survivors. He then ordered the remaining Y-Wing pilots to retreat. They managed to get back to one of their bases where Danyar told them that Kota was missing and possibly dead. However he wanted to continue their raids against the Empire in Koda's memory.

Rebel Alliance
However six months later he was hired by Bail Organa to help lead a raid on an Imperial Base. The attack was succesful and Danyar gained an AT-AP which he used for many years afterwards. He also learned that Kota was alive, much to his delight. He quickly rose through the ranks of the Rebel Alliance, becoming a colonel. When he learned that a group of Rebel soldiers had been enslaved on Tatooine, Denyar lead a group of Rebels to help free them because of his hatred of Hutts. Two years later he would be was stationed on Mygeeto.

Second Battle of Mygeeto
While he was stationed on Mygeeto he recieved word of a large army of droids attacking the Imperials. Curious, he ordered his AT-AP to be readied, he also ordered several squads of soldiers to accompany him in case the situation required it. Once there they observed the droids attacking the Imperials and winning and decided to aid the droids. He lead his soldiers to the battle and helped destroy the last remaining Imperials. When a Lambda-class shuttle was downed by an Anti-Air droid, he accompanied the commander of the droid army to find survivors. Once this was completed he congratulated the commander, Vok Tiran, and thanked him for ridding the city of Imperials. Much to his surprise, Vok offered to sell most of his droid army to him. Danyar accepted and allowed Vok to leave.
