It is a collaborative effort by Star Wars Fanon Wiki authors and administrators Trak Nar and Sean "Goodwood" Nash, and takes place prior to and during the Mandalorian Wars.

With a grunt, Laera's companion seated himself on a bench. "Tuffass will be honest; he doesn't much care for this planet..." He allowed himself a tired laugh as he rubbed his right knee. Tuffass was, if Laera recalled correctly, a Gand; a little-known insect species from some backrocket world beyond the reaches of known space. Near as she could tell, Gands did not breathe the same atmosphere that she did, as Tuffass's face was always obscured by what had to be a custom-designed respirator. He was undoubtedly quirky, speaking in third-person all the time. "So, Gunny, I've been meaning to ask," Laera began with a bit of small talk, "why are you called 'Tuffass'?" Tuffass tilted his head to meet her gaze. His compound eyes studied her for a moment. "Because he has a tough ass." He returned his gaze to the lake and rubbed his knee some more before flexing the joint a few times. "Earned it on that mist-forsaken rock, probably before you were even born." He took a deep breath. "He...usually doesn't discuss that. Let's just say that Tuffass proved that he is a tough ass." | |

Behind the scenes[]
Author Sean "Goodwood" Nash had entertained the idea of writing a collection of short stories for some time, however inspiration to proceed came in the form of a character study written by fellow administrator Trak Nar. Nash asked to use this study as the introduction with which to build off of and elaborate on, and with her assent, Nar became part of the project. She also co-authored the anthology's lead story, Nom de Guerre. The anthology was first published on August 17 2011.
