Crist
Wes's mother, Crist was originally part of the Yang clan. It was there that Wes's force sensitive older half-brother, Tek yang was born.
During the events of order 66, the clan leader, ex-Jedi Dev Yang, gave refuge to a Jedi master who began teaching Tek the ways of the force. Sadly, the Empire eventually found out about the harbored Jedi and sent a strike force down to eliminate him.

Crist survived the attack and wondered the empty desert for three days before running into the Nuuk clans sandcrawler. It was there that Wes was born, two years later.
Biography
Nuuk Clan
Do to circumstances unknown to the public, most of the Nuuk clan had met a similar fate to that of the Yang clan while Wes was a young child. Wes has little memory of the events, possibly do to suppression of memories or a mental block. Most of what Wes knows about his clan comes from statements from those that had done business with it as well as stories told by a jawa who was banished from the clan. His oldest clear memory was of his mother carrying him in the desert away from a distant burning sandcrawler.
Childhood


After an unknown amount of time in the desert, Wes and his mother eventually reached Mos Espa. His mother, most likely having lost her sanity, ran back into the desert, leaving her son alone. For over a month, Wes begged on the streets before he was eventually given shelter by another jawa and a one-eyed ithorian that both lived together in a small hut. The jawa was actually at one point part of the Nuuk clan, but was banished for killing someone in self-defense. It is with these two that Wes spent the remainder of his childhood.
Teenage Years
Wes Nuuk got his first job as an engineer and repairman. He would occasionally replace parts of the items he repaired with more cheaper parts in order to keep the more valuable parts for himself. It is through many odd-jobs that he learned the basic controls of a starship. It is also through these jobs that Wes was able to acquire (and sometimes outright steal) the parts to construct his translator droid, Nut.
Living in a starport, Wes started becoming obsessed with the idea of traveling the galaxy. His first ship was a (likely stolen) JM5000 that he named Ysaska.
Adulthood

Wes became a part-time secret agent of the anti-slavery group, Freedom Convoy. Being a jawa, he was able to easily blend in with the scum and villainy of the underworld, making him the perfect spy. He at one point led an entire slave revolt in an imperial mining camp, without even being present at the event. He did this by having espionage droids smuggle weapons and messages into the camps. After the revolt, Wes personally transported several of slaves to the thriving city, Er`edal on Shownar II, where another Freedom Convoy agent provided them with new homes.
He at one point applied for a job at Industrial Automation. He was accepted, but then decided to not take the job because he felt that he would find more enjoyment in transport.
Wes Nuuk is currently employed by Corellian Transport Services. His application was accepted by Head Administrator Luuda Kusaak, who assigned him to the Logistics-wide department under the command of the departments CO, Sha Thoon.
He graduated from the New Republic Academy on year 16 day 154. At his graduation, he was given the Acumen Award by the Academy Headmaster, Admiral Adam Hughes.
