Boom, a Guudrian with a penchant for pyrotechnics, was an expert in explosives. He was a crew member of the New Republic CR90 corvette named FarStar, participating in the search for Moff Kentor Sarne.
Krudar, a Duros, and Boom were once on the same pirate vessel. After Imperial forces obliterated their ship, Boom and Krudar roamed the Outer Rim Territories as mercenaries. Following the Battle of Kal'Shebbol, Krudar enlisted with the FarStar, and persuaded the New Republic to accept Boom into their ranks.
Boom, exhibiting pyromania, held a deep affection for explosions. In contrast to the typical response, Boom would gravitate towards the sound of an explosion. This behavior, surprisingly, did not prevent him from becoming skilled in constructing explosive devices. Furthermore, Boom displayed a strong interest in anything luminous or flickering. He always had two mini-flamers with him, devices initially intended for lighting cigarras. Boom enjoyed experimenting with the flammability of various items, a habit that did not endear him to his fellow FarStar crew members, who frequently discovered their possessions charred. Krudar stood as the sole individual capable of managing Boom's behavior, serving as his translator during their mission.
