Legend

this wealthy cyborg lived in a luxurious skyhook which was tethered to the planet Coruscant during the height of the New Order. Much of his fortune came from the manufacture of energy shield generators, and Sabis was able to buy his way into Coruscant's high society. However, his meteoric rise was cut short when he contracted a nonlethal form of Knowt's Disease, and he lost his right arm and most of this torso and face to the disease. In order to survive, his arms and other body parts were replaced with cybernetic prostheses, including much of his brain. He was abandoned by his socialite "friends", and isolated himself in his skyhook. Many beings considered Sabis to be insane, especially after he began to speak out in favor of the rights of droids. Little did they realize that the cybernetic implants in his brain had been infected by a computer virus, which drove him slowly insane. At some point during the Galactic Civil War, Sabis' skyhook suddenly became untethered, and would have been shot down if it hadn't been rescued by a group of freelance operatives. In the wake of this near-disaster, Sabis tried to initiate the Second Droid Revolution. His efforts were thwarted, however, when the construction droid he was using as a base of operations was disabled.
