Biography

Wonn Ionstrike was a Human male who was born around 60 BBY. He began his career as a gambler, making numerous underworld connections before moving into computer forgery. Ionstrike then moved to Cloud City on Bespin, where he became one of the most powerful crime lords in all of Port Town, organizing an elite band of criminals including smugglers, bounty hunters, slicers, mercenaries into the Lenushaa gang. The gang had sixty-three members, along with two stock light freighters, the Iviitz and the Bountiful Hunter, and operated out of Cloud City and along the Corellian Trade Spine.[1]

Ionstrike performed several illegal experiments in implanting himself with biocomp implants in order to assist his computer forgery work. However, the experiments failed, and destroyed several major neural groupings in his spine. The result left him crippled, and requiring an exoskeleton attached to his upper body to assist with eating, drinking, reading, and object manipulation. He was also confined to a hoverchair. As a result, four large mercenaries attended him as bodyguards.[1]

Ionstrike operated out of a partially empty level between Port Town and the Tibanna gas storage levels, and his main objective was to drive Jabba the Hutt out of business.[1]
