When the Mandalorian Wars began, the Sith forces struck the Outer Rim Iridonian colonies with a vengeance. As a result, many Iridonians were the first to join the Republic's war effort. One of them was a gifted young mechanic named Bao Dur, eager to lend his technical expertise to the cause. During his years of wartime service, he was instrumental in producing new weapons, shields and other technology for use in battle against the Mandalorians. When the wars ended, Bao Dur drifted, scarred by the countless atrocities he had witnessed. He found purpose again assisting the Outer Rim rebuilding effort.
A skilled mechanic and architect, Bao Dur is able to build or repair almost anything, even a mechanical replacement for his own arm, lost near the end of the Wars. This mechanized appendage is incredibly strong, making him a formidable opponent in a fight. It also has the power to destroy force fields and shields, rendering enemies vulnerable to conventional attacks.
