Legend of Valin Tusk

Aboard the ISDII Hammer, the name Valin Tusk describes a near mythical character. Though legendary, Valin is no mere story. Veteran pilots will happily enthral awestruck cadets with tales of their experience with the man.

The story goes that he was a hardened barkeep by trade. Though the planet that he called home seemed to change each time that he was asked, Valin Tusk eventually found a career as the Epsilon Squadron steward and barkeep.

For many years he served in that role, preparing pilots for battle, and aiding in their recovery with strong spirits and good company.

At some point around 18 ABY, Valin, with the aid of several Epsilon pilots, developed the drink now known as Epsi-Cola. Shortly thereafter, Valin Tusk vanished, seeking the “final ingredient” for Epsi-Cola. In his absence, the recipe -sans final ingredient was passed to the Epsilon Commander.

The recipe is a closely guarded secret which passed from Commander to Commander.

It eventually reached the desk of Coranel Both who has been instrumental in developing the drink into the galaxy wide phenomenon that it is today.
