Boes Tark
- "Hoping his son would follow him into the Imperial military, Boes Tark trained his son in survival skills, as well as personal and fire combat."
- ―General Airen Cracken, "Wanted by Cracken"
Boes Tark was a male who was married to his wife, Lanaxa.[1] In 23 BBY,[2] while on the planet Bandonia, they had a child. Naming the young boy Moxin,[1] they raised him in a life of luxury and privilege on the Tark family estate. Boes would serve as a lieutenant in the Galactic Empire and desired for Moxin to follow in his footsteps in Imperial military service, bringing fame to his family.[3] In preparation for this, Boes trained his son in combat and survival, but Moxin was disillusioned with his life and longed for space adventure.[1]
Despite his father's efforts, Moxin would grow to hate both his father and his father's military ways and became a runaway at age eighteen. He eventually turned to bounty hunting and,[3] by 7 ABY,[2] was wanted by the New Republic, featuring in General Airen Cracken's datafile Wanted by Cracken, which included a brief mention of Boes.[1]
Behind the scenes
Boes Tark was first mention in the 1993 sourcebook for West End Games's Star Wars Roleplaying Game, Wanted by Cracken written by Louis J. Prosperi.[1]
