Description: DJ
Prefix: DZ
Detachment: Underworld Detachment
Context: Star Wars: The Last Jedi

DJ," shortened form of "Don't Join," is a human male slicer. An amoral thief, he spoke with a stutter but was also skilled at slicing into computer systems. His philosophy was influenced by his cynical views; he therefore believed that both sides in the conflict represented two halves of a system breeding corruption and greed.
