Background

Born beneath the heavy, sulfurous skies of Gentes, Uglogavste Lukiil came into the galaxy with a mind tuned for machinery and a soul already weighed by the oppression of his people. Like so many Ugnaughts before him, he escaped the drudgery of servitude, drifting to Bespin where the towering halls of Ugnorgrad hummed with welding arcs and the quiet desperation of survival.

On Bespin, he found refuge in the union workshops and data cores, refining not just his mechanical skill but a deep mastery of systems: computer networks, logistics algorithms, capital ship protocols. By day he was a quiet laborer; by night, a silent student of power, watching how the flow of credits and contracts shaped destinies far more decisively than any hydrospanner.

His true name, Uglogavste Lukiil, was a tangle to most tongues. Smirking at the galaxy’s discomfort, he offered a simpler handle: "You may call me Gav Luck." It was meant as a quick, memorable alias, something that sounded like "Give Luck" and carried a hint of charm and fortune. But in the cantinas of Bespin, the name began to evolve. Gav spent long evenings hunched over holochess boards and pazaak tables, usually walking away with his credits intact or only slightly lighter. Then, one night, he hit a small jackpot on the slots, the kind of rare win that cantina patrons remembered for years. From then on, the regulars started calling him "Gav Lucky" as a teasing nod to that single windfall and a name that, to his mild annoyance, stuck harder than the original. Yet beneath that easy nickname and easy grin lay a mind haunted by the fate of powerless workers, scarred by watching entire communities collapse under the weight of financial neglect. For Gav Lucky, money was not mere currency; it was armor, weapon, and salvation.

Career Timeline

Cadet

Joining Up

His path to the Federation began in the most unassuming of ways. He was standing in a dingy spaceport terminal, waiting for a delayed transport, when a Holonet recruitment broadcast flickered to life above the crowd. The advertisement was crisp, authoritative, and emblazoned with the seal of the Trade Federation Department of Admissions. Front and center stood Samantha Dordoli, delivering a precise and confident appeal to those seeking opportunity, structure, and purpose. In her words, Gav heard not just an invitation, but a promise: that order and ambition could be harnessed to lift those who were willing to work for it. By the time his transport arrived, he had already filled out the enlistment forms.

Driven by a relentless need to rewrite his people’s story and that of his own, he set his sights on the Trade Federation: a colossus of order, profit, and prestige. With each promotion and each credit earned, Gav Lucky would step further away from the darkness of Gentes and deeper into the halls of influence, where he would secure not just personal wealth but a fortress of resources strong enough to protect any who still bear the scars of servitude.

In every deal, every convoy manifest, every whispered negotiation, echoed his core philosophy: power is the ultimate currency, and luck favors those who build it themselves.

The Academy

Cadet life was a shock both in its rigor and in its order. Assigned to a small cohort of recruits from across the galaxy, Gav quickly learned that the Academy was more than drills and data entry. It was a crucible for loyalty, skill, and adaptability. His knack for pattern recognition and logistical problem-solving made him an asset in training simulations, where he could predict enemy maneuvers and optimize fleet positioning with uncanny accuracy.

He passed the Basic Training Standard Exam and on Y26 D205, Gav stood before the Federation banner, right hand raised, and swore the Trade Federation Oath. For the first time, the weight of service felt heavier than the weight of survival.

Cadet First Class - The Savage Squirrels

First Asteroid Field Prospecting Mission

Assigned to the Department of Operations under the Ministry of the Interior, Gav found himself in the ranks of the Savage Squirrels Flight Team, a unit as eccentric as it was effective. Under Interior Minister Dred Oodoov and Operations Director Dak Ironfist, the team’s operations ranged from precision transport runs to asteroid field prospecting. Day-to-day orders came from Lt. Commander Heuk Gisa, whose terse directives left no room for hesitation.

In those days, Gav started to make a name for himself with his sustained, methodical work. His first deployment was to an asteroid field outside of Ktil where he was tasked with reprospecting it. Using a standard issue GPS, he was able to pull Federation mining data and see that 13 previous uncovered deposits were still active with varying stability. The scanner also detected 11 undiscovered deposits. It was rough in the beginning as he tried to get his bearings. From speaking to instructors at the Academy, asteroid field prospecting was more of an art than a science. After the first couple days, he thought that there had to be a better way. During sleeping hours, he would stay up in the bunk of his Y-8 mining vessel and run thought experiments on his datapad. He programmed a game that would generate random asteroid fields and place random deposits. He would play this game all night trying different strategies and also updating an AI assistant to predict the next best possible asteroid to scan. After a couple nights, he started to see patterns and develop what he thought was a winning strategy. On the third day, he had played the game hundreds of times and essentially developed many years of prospecting experience in simulation. He ended up finishing the mission in nine days.

Holotech Recruitment

That performance did not go unnoticed. Interior Minister Dred Oodoov, impressed by both the ingenuity and the discipline behind the operation, personally put in a recommendation to Kaire Nat-Sa, the Defense Minister and Main Administrator of the Department of Holotech. Soon after, Gav received a formal communication from Holotech headquarters.

Known as the Federation’s hidden engine for innovation, Holotech specialized in turning individual talent into institutional capability. Gav began working under Kaire’s direction outside of Operations work on the Trade Federation Management System.

First Library Card

Working in Holotech meant many trips to the Federation Library, looking up protocols and technical blueprints. Because he spent so much time there, on Y26 D233 he volunteered as an archivist. Not only did he fall in love with library science and circulation, but it allowed him access to many of the more restricted sections of the archives. Not long after, State Minister Thion Rawthland, who was also essentially acting as interim Chief Archivist, stepped down from his post and relinquished all State and Library duties.

The Library grew even quieter in Thion Rawthland’s absence. One evening, Gav found himself alone among the shelves, methodically replacing holobooks, the soft hum of the preservation systems his only company. In that stillness, the Library began to feel less like a workplace and more like a sanctuary. Feeling a flicker of mischief with no one watching, he wandered into the Chief Archivist’s chambers. Minister Rawthland had spent little time there, preferring his office at the Ministry of State, and the room bore the signs, with dust gathering on the desk, stale air, and shelves untouched for weeks.

Drawers yielded little of interest until he found it: an unmarked access key. Curiosity piqued, Gav experimented, discovering that the key granted him the ability to withdraw blank holobooks from restricted storage and, more importantly, to author new entries within the Library’s secure archive. It was an archivist’s dream and an invitation to shape history.

He knew exactly where to begin. Drawing on months of late-night reading and note-taking, he began work on a serialized chronicle he had long imagined: This Month in Trade Federation History. With unrestricted access to the Federation’s historical records, he could weave together recovered archives, oral histories, and rediscovered GNS clippings into a living narrative of the Federation’s evolution. On Y26 D233, he released the first issue, This Month in Trade Federation History – Year 26 • Month 8, to wide acclaim among those who cared for the Federation’s legacy.

The project lit a fire. Gav started expanding other holobooks, merging details from cross-referenced sources and building comprehensive indexes. His work quickly caught the attention of senior officials, and before long, he was entrusted with the responsibilities of Interim Chief Archivist. In this capacity, he authored the Library Charter, codifying the institution’s purpose and scope; documented the Modus Operandi for the Continuity Restoration and Standardization Initiative; and designed the Federation’s official Chain of Command diagram.

He also transformed an unused section of the Library into a permanent Art Museum exhibit, curating a collection of recovered Federation visual history. This moved Captain Hartroff Parmenion and so he dug up his old findings from his Archeological Investigations in Federation History project, featuring former logos of past Operations Flight Teams. To Gav, this was preservation as strategy. Heritage and identity, he knew, were themselves forms of power, and a well-tended history could be as potent a weapon as any fleet.
