JOZ-47

JOZ-47 is a droid smuggler, and current Guildmaster of the Commerce Guild. It is also currently one of the Je'daii Moderators.

Backstory
JOZ-47 was originally build as a regular pilot droid for republican ships. One day the vessel it was piloting was attacked by slavers. A fight ensued, but the slavers ultimately won and took all the republican passengers as hostages. The slavers left JOZ-47 in the ship, but both the droid and the ship were badly damaged in the fight. The droid successfully crash landed on the nearest planet, but had no way of escaping its broken down ship.

For many years the droid lay undisturbed, until one day some space travelling junkers came to the planet, and wanted to check out the crash site. When they saw JOZ-47, still functioning after so many years, they decided to remove it from its original vessel and try to sell it on the black market. However, nobody seemed interested in buying the droid, so eventually they agreed to let one of their technicians try stuff out on the droid.

After much tampering and modifying, the technician managed to give JOZ-47 speaking capabilities, and tried to teach it how to make many. Although most attempts failed, the technician kept on trying, believing that JOZ-47 would one day be able to make credits for their group. Eventually, JOZ-47 seemed to get the hang of it, and started trading and haggling away. The gang made lots of credits by using the droid, and were even able to stop their junker business and started trading full-time.

However, the technician failed to instill a sense of obedience to the droid, and in some crowded marketplace JOZ-47 lost the rest of the group. Deciding it could earn more on its own, rather than share it with the group, the droid decide to get away. It found the first ship it was able to pay, and fled the planet. Now JOZ-47 wanders the galaxy, always looking to earn more credits wherever it can.
