Hohm Tuff was a Neimoidian pilot. He was known to infrequently use data goggles and a vocabulator.
Biography[]
Early life[]
Hohm Tuff was taken out of the hives of Neimoidia at an early age and put into the Neimoidian Gunnery Battalion. As he aged he gained an incredible ability for piloting. During the Blockade and Invasion of Naboo, he flew a Neimoidian transport in order to bring down soldiers to the planets surface. When the Droid control ship was destroyed, he managed to evacuate several personnel in the dropship.
Clone Wars[]
Hohm Tuff: “Frak!”
―Kav Coun and Hohm Tuff shortly after the MAFs are destroyed
During the Clone Wars, Hohm was stationed on Moorja, where he used troop transports to bring down Neimoidian soldiers. He also learned how to pilot several other ships while on Moorja. At one point he even piloted a Trandoshan dropship, although he despised Trandoshans because of the cannibalistic and slaving society. After the Clone Wars the Imperials attempted to negotiate with the Separatist army on Moorja
Hohm was suspicious, and his fears were confirmed when the Imperials destroyed the communication relays of their ships. Hohm was ordered to pilot an MAF down to the planet's surface, along with a few other MAFs and a squad of Poraxes. However, on the way down all of the Poraxes were destroyed, and only ten of the MAFs made it to the planets surface. By the time Hohm and the others got to the surface, they were too late to warn their fellow soldiers, as the battle was already taking place.
However, several soldiers where running towards the MAFs in an attempt to escape the battle, which they were losing. He agreed to fly them off planet and was about to convince the other pilots to help fly them to safety when an AT-TE destroyed all but one of the MAFs. Hohm was forced to take only two soldiers with him, the Gossams Izkie Strender and Kavivov Gettin while the others fled to a nearby hangar in attempt to find ships. When the others were ready he took off. Hohm suggested that they hide in Wild Space, and they all agreed to go to Teth.
Dark Times[]
The group set up a base on Teth and occasionally fought off the Imperial soldiers when they showed up. One day however, a fugitive Jedi, Drago Venn, showed up. At first he attempted to kill them, but the leader of the group, Kav Coun, persuaded him that they were now allies against a common foe who had defeated them both.
Drago agreed to help them. Although the group managed to successfully fight off several Imperial raids, the planet was soon overrun with Imperials, and the rebel group was forced to leave the planet. They eventually settled on Aargonar 3.
Rebellion[]
After years of isolation they eventually ran into the Rebel Alliance. They attempted to join but before they could do so the planet came under siege by Imperials. Drago convinced them to help and Hohm used his MAF to destroy several TIE Fighters while escorting the Midnight Star away from danger. Because of this service, the Rebels allowed Hohm and the others to join them.
During the evacuation of the Yavin base he led a squad of X-Wings and attacked an Imperial frigate, although they did not destroy it they managed to destroy the hangar and all the ships inside of it. He was present at the Battle of the Graveyard, along with Strender and Gettin, who acted as his co-pilot and gunner respectively. The three managed to destroy a number of TIE fighters.
When Strender was later captured by Imperial forces, Hohm temporarily used OOM-76, an old pilot droid, which he quickly discarded after Strender's return. During the Rebellion's stay on Hoth he admired the Outrider. However the owner, Dash Rendar, became defensive about his ship and almost got into a fight with Hohm, but it was stopped by Hohm's friends. Hohm's admiration for the YT-series caused him to find and purchase a YT-2000 light freighter, which he named Draigon. He modified it extensively until its modifications rivalled those of the Millenium Falcon.
