History
Lucius Stark was a human male, during the Alsakan Crisis, the conflict between the Alsakan Union and the Galactic Republic governments. Twenty years later, he was alive during the Hutt War, the galactic war between the Republic and the Hutt Empire. Originally affiliated with the Alsakan Union, Stark betrayed the Union and turned off the Alsakan battle turrets prior to the Battle of Alsakan, out of love for a Republic espionage agent, named Espis. Possessing a Doctorate in technology and engineering, and biochemistry, Stark was considered highly intelligent. In the wake of his wife's assassination by an Alsakan insurgent, Stark turned to the criminal side of the galaxy, and worked as a bounty hunter. Eventually, Stark became involved with the Hutt Empire and Checkmate Enterprises.

Behind the scenes
Lucius Stark was a character created by the author, Thomas Rattim, for use on the Star Wars Role Playing site TheStarWarsRP.Com. Originally designed to be an independent, Stark became affiliated with the Hutt Empire and, later on, Checkmate Industries. The character profile, on TheStarWarsRP.Com, was written from the perspective of Stark, and was the longest profile the author had written for the site. Stark was created in a second attempt at having an academic character, after what the author considered to be the failure of Skaries Iolae in the previous timeline. He was also a homage to Gaius Baltar from the Battlestar Galactica television series, with Stark being portrayed by Baltar. For the same reason, Espis was portrayed by Baltar's companion in the series Number Six. In the series, Number Six is a companion inside Baltar's head. This was the inspiration for Stark creating a holographic Artificial Intelligence companion of Espis.
