In the year 3681 BBY, the Jedi Order was able to get the quirky and independent astromech droid T7-O1 to be Nico’s co-pilot aboard his Corellian XS Stock light freighter, the Redshifter during what turned out to be an attempt to smuggle Sith artifacts off of Korriban. He was celebrated for his ability to always deliver on a contract, no matter the odds, which lead to his being the most highly sought after spacer for every criminal syndicate who could afford his services.ĭue to his prolific success and high profile, the Galactic Republic determined Nico to be a threat and set up an undercover sting operation to arrest him. He was a human male who made his living as a smuggler captain primarily in the Outer Rim.
While not much is known of his origins, at the start of the Great Galactic War between the Galactic Republic and Sith Empire, the gunslinger Nico Okarr was considered by many to be legendary.
