Etaion Shrdl



Etain Shrdl was an Echani mercenary that operated on Manaan. In 3,956 BBY he was hired by the Republic, under a ten thousand credit contract, to investigate what happened to one of the Republic's illegal kolto harvesting stations in the Hrakert Rift. Shrdl was never forced to complete the task, but because he was paid ahead of time, he happily enjoyed his ten thousand credits and bought his own private floating island, where he lived happily ever after.

Behind the Scenes
"Etaion Shrdl" is actually a list of the eleven most common letters in the English alphabet, and used to be the order of keys on a typewriter. Shrdl's appearance is that of Ergeron, a Mandalorian mercenary on Manaan who expressed a dislike of the Echani, and was also hired by the Republic to investigate the harvesting stations.
