Legend

this was the nickname Lara Notsil used for her astromech droid. The droid, like the X-Wing it flew in, were originally owned by Atton Repness, but were given to Lara after she exposed Repness' blackmail starfighter sales ring. The droid's name means "Little Atton" in the dialect of her hometown, New Oldtown, on Aldivy. When Lara fled the Wraiths, after Garik Loran revealed that she was really Gara Petothel, Tonin went with her to the Iron Fist, where she volunteered her services to Warlord Zsinj. In reality, she planned to take down Zsinj any way she could. To that end, she programmed Tonin to surreptitiously take control of the Super-class Star Destroyer's MSE-6 messenger droids. Tonin did so discreetly at first, but became bolder when none of the smaller droids were discovered missing. Tonin reprogrammed them for terrorist duties, including the sabotaging of the warship's engines, computers and shields. The effort nearly worked on its own, and was highly successful when it was combined with the firepower of the New Republic's warships at Selaggis Six. However, Zsinj managed to escape using the Second Death as a decoy. Lara and Tonin also escaped, fleeing to the planet Corellia to lay low.
