Nomas, a Human of the male gender, operated a salvage yard throughout the era of the Galactic Civil War. He sometimes talked too much, and held a dislike for the Galactic Empire because of the tariffs they imposed on components for starship. Despite this, Nomas wasn't impacted severely enough to feel sympathy for the Alliance to Restore the Republic.
Mike Jackson, the illustrator, drew inspiration for Nomas's appearance from Tony Heath, an uncredited model.
