Arago Tanca

Hold-out blaster (3D), comlink, datapad, construction tools, coveralls.

A discreet, multi-talented builder, Arago Tanca is highly recommended in less-than-legal circles. No one knows exactly what jobs Tanca has worked on, but they're certain he will work for *anyone*. Rumors of jobs for criminals, governments, mercenaries, Rebels, bounty hunters, and slavers abound. For a hefty price, Tanca is willing to endure heavy security procedures and hostile environments. He's got years of experience in zero-g and hard-vacuum construction, ranging from mining rigs to research stations. He knows all the pitfalls and shortcuts, from safe sites to the insane risks. He even knows specialists and other workers that may be willing to work under "irregular" conditions. While Tanca may appear to be a dream find for characters desperate for professional help, his personality may drive them mad. Tanca has no interest in the characters' fears, goals, politics, or beliefs. He adamantly refuses to discuss such things, even to allay suspicions about his loyalties. He won't discuss other jobs under any circumstance and won't even brag about past achievements. He'll advise on designs and often compares them to earlier jobs, good and bad, but won't divulge other details. He may even allude to places that the characters may be interested in, but no amount of bribery or threats will shake the information from him. Attempts to do so will likely anger him greatly (as well as causing him to quit the job).
