Mar Tuuk (pronounced /mɑɹ tuk/) is a male Neimoidian captain in the Navy of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. A shrewd tactician noted for his study of military history, he was charged by Emir Wat Tambor with overseeing the Separatist blockade of the planet Ryloth during the Clone Wars.
Personality[]
Mar Tuuk of the Confederate Navy.
This is him without his goggles and flight miter
A veteran officer who had earned the trust of Emir Wat Tambor, Mar Tuuk is a capable fleet commander and tactician who studied up on military history. Having prepared his blockade of Ryloth for a Republic assault, he lured the enemy into a false sense of hope, springing the trap when they were right where he wanted them. At Ryloth, this tactic saw the destruction of one Star Destroyer and the retreat of the remaining two. In the interlude between the Republic attacks, Tuuk analyzed his opponent, Anakin Skywalker, developing a respect for the general. The Neimoidian believed that, once he defeated Skywalker, he would become a celebrated commander in the Confederate Navy. However, he underestimated Skywalker's resolve and fell for Skywalker's own trap. Realizing he had been duped, and rather than attempt some last-minute maneuver when his cause was a lost one, Tuuk abandoned ship to save himself
A cool-headed yet vain Neimoidian, Tuuk takes pride in his appearance, savoring it more than a well-developed battle plan. Tuuk possesses a blaster pistol as his personal weapon, and he wears data goggles, equipped with a rotating scope, that connects him to many of his flagships' systems. His skin in green in color, though it can change under stress.
