- ―The Slug Named Grendel by Rogar Farnoster
Sosakar was a character in Rogar Farnoster's The Slug Named Grendel, published by TriPlanetary Press[1] sometime after 22 BBY.[2] The narrator of the tale, Sosakar recounted the story of Flandon Sweeg and his search for the space slug Grendel. Sosakar, being destitute and pursued by Jabba the Hutt's loansharks, joined the crew of the Darkfire after Sweeg's original crew had abandoned him.[1]
Behind the scenes
The work Sosakar appeared in bears strong similarities with the 1851 novel Moby Dick, authored by Herman Melville. Such similarities includes the formatting of the first line and the narrative of the protagonist who has joined a crew upon a quest led by a captain of questionable morals after a sizable limbless, ship-destroying creature colored white.
