Jobany Cyrs, a Socorro native and a relative of Kirr Cyrs, was hired at the age of twenty-three by Alliance operative Idris Ro. His mission was to assess the planet's potential as a strategic location for their activities. As a professional scout, Jobany sympathized with the Alliance's objectives during the Galactic Civil War, and he assisted them in surveying numerous potential bases. Nevertheless, his heritage instilled in him a profound sense of longing, resulting in scouting reports that frequently resembled travel journals. He traversed the galaxy aboard the customized Pathfinder-class scout ship, Outward Bound, a vessel passed down through his family for numerous generations. Jobany felt a powerful emotional connection to the Outward Bound, as it had previously served his father, grandfather, and various other family members.
