Marcus Speedstar

With a jubilant greeting in his native tongue, Oplock can be off-putting to those who don't speak Cracek, the language of the Esral'sa'Niktos, a Nikto subspecies more commonly referred to as the mountain Nikto. But Oplock is a trusted mechanic and loyal friend to Marcus Speedstar, perhaps one of the only friends or family members to stand by him despite past infractions that have cost others their lives. When Speedstar's past catches up to them on the Colossus, it's Oplock who must pay for the racer's misdeeds when he's taken hostage by the Guavian Death Gang until his boss has made good on his debt.

Jarek Yeager runs a repair shop on the Colossus refueling station, enjoying the solitude of being far from the central systems of the galaxy. He is quiet, hardworking, and wise, having experienced much in his lifetime.

R4-P17 was an astromech droid assigned to Obi-Wan Kenobi, and assisted the Jedi Master on many missions, from Kamino and Geonosis to Teth and Tatooine. She was destroyed during the Battle of Coruscant when buzz droids swarmed Obi-Wan’s fighter, ripping the faithful droid’s dome from her metal body.

In the skies, Marcus Speedstar's distinct purple, black, and silver ship effortlessly traces the curves of the race course, gliding through each marker with ease. Speedstar has been known to juice his ride with hyperfuel in the pursuit of winning at any cost. But when he goes up against his brother Jarek Yeager in the Platform Classic, he races honestly to atone for his past.

Confident and skilled in the cockpit of a New Republic X-wing fighter, Kaz's new assignment as a spy for the Resistance leaves him feeling out of his element. Now living on the independent fueling station known as the Colossus, Kaz is doing his best to fit in as a mechanic so he can carry out his mission.

Vastly more powerful than the rickety bucket of bolts that is the Fireball, Jarek Yeager's private ship is an elegant, golden-hued craft. With Yeager seated at the controls, the ship nimbly arcs through the course on the Platform Classic, an unbeatable combination of racer and machine.
