Halo Nitak

Halos parents were traders onboard a ship near Tatooine shortly before his birth. During their approach to Mos Espa, a power failure caused the freighter to crash somewhere in the desert. It took three days for a search party to find them, and aside from the two Arcona, few of the crew survived; and Halos mother was wounded. It was only a day later when Halo was born, with his mother almost dying in the process. However, all of them survived, though the mother lost a leg in the process - and without their ship, cargo or most of their other belongings, they couldn't afford a cybernetic limb. They took up a living in Mos Espa. Halos mother stayed home and cared for him while his father worked day and night at whatever jobs he could get to support the family. Eventually, he was able to work with a local spare parts and repair shop, and when Halo was old enough, he started helping out to earn some extra credits.
