Erd Lumas, an Ithorian pilot, worked for Daedalus Gas Mines on Genarius, operating a Bubbleship.
Lumas suffered from a peculiar condition: he was allergic to the massive trees of his homeworld, Ithor. Because other planets with trees only brought back memories of the home he was unable to reside on, he chose to work as a spice freighter pilot for nearly a decade.
After a visit to Genarius, he became enamored with the liberation of the open sky, and a different beauty than that of Ithor. He cherished the sensation of flight and the air itself, was captivated by the forms of the clouds, and felt like he was pulling a cloud of his own when piloting the bubbleship.
