Species: Hamadryas Gender: Male Affiliation: Mos Eisley Cantina

Cebann Veekan started out as a mid-tier holoperformer in low grade comedies and horror stories before the Imperial Entertainers Guild excessive "loyalty purges" made it harder and harder for non-humans to find work.

Eventually, Veekan drifted into various non-Guild theater productions, performing in plays for audiences that, for the most part, seemed completely indifferent to the performance so long as there was alcohol being served.

Veekan wound up in Tatooine's dismal live performance scene, and when not in one of the few decrepit buildings that passed for theaters in the port city, he could be found drowning his sorrows in Chalmun's cantina.

There, he met Ackmena, the night-shift bartender whose penchant for singing and performance matched his own. Together, they worked to create their own troupe and arrange performances at the cantina itself. Chalmun allowed it, provided the shows added to the bar's bottom line.

They struggled just shy of success, but achieved acclaim and attention following the defeat of the Empire at the Battle of Endor. Veekan and Ackmena capitalized on the heroics of the now-legendary local hero Luke Skywalker by creating a theater show based loosely on his exploits. Becann played the lead, and became somewhat of a local hero himself, performing the role for many years in front of audiences that grew large enough to demand a proper venue.

Becann played the role until he eventually became too old, and even after retirement continued teaching younger students the part and helping out behind-the-scenes.
