History[]
Life in Narkina 5[]
By 5BBY, Ham was imprisoned at Narkina 5 for an unknown reason, serving out his sentence on floor Five-Two-D under the leadership of Kino Loy, He worked on Table 5 alongside his fellow prisoners Jemboc, Xaul, Taga, Ulaf, Ruescott Melshi and later "Keef Girgo", an alias used by Cassian Andor. He and the rest of his table spent their days creating machinery which unknown to them, would be used to construct the Death Star's superlaser.
For the next few months, Ham and his table would work towards completing their quotas and serving their sentences, until rumors of an incident on Level 2 would spread to Level 5, causing unrest and distrust among the prisoners. Later on, his fellow table member Ulaf would suffer a major stroke, leaving him on the brink of death, Cassian and Kino waited with Ulaf in his final moments, learning the truth about Level 2 from the Medtech assigned to Ulaf. 100 men were killed due to a mix-up, a prisoner who was "released" ended up back on Level 2... and that no one was getting out.
Uprising[]
After hearing this shocking news, the prisoners of Five-Two-D planned their escape attempt, they were to jam the lift whist Ulaf's replacement was sent down, and make their way out from there, Ham's role in the plan was to stage a fight with Xaul to draw the guards attention, allowing Andor to jam the lift and Birnok to take out the guard. With the plan somewhat a success, Ham and the other inmates on the ground began to throw their tools at the guards. The guards fired back, killing Xaul much to Ham's dismay, proceeding to then shock the floors, Ham was able to get on the tables in time to avoid the shock, Thanks to a leak caused by Cassian, the floors shortcircuited and the inmated began to charge the lift. After Andor took out the guards and secured the area, Ham took up arms with his fellow inmates and began to make their way through the complex, freeing as many prisoners as they can.
Ham got into a brief shootout with some guards, killing them and freeing the inmates of that unit, continuing on and rescuing Melshi from a small group of guards and leading the rest of his team up a stairway to freedom. After Andor and Kino had secured the command centre on Level 8, Ham and his group reuinited with them and made a rush towards the edge, finally face to face with freedom. Ham was among the first inmates to jump to freedom, what happened to him afterwards is currently unknown.
