Rolly Gibbons was the owner of the Apollo Shipyard. In that capacity, he assisted pilot Nuura Joss in several scrapes, and received assistance in turn. Joss would continue to trust him. A band of mercenaries and smugglers, the Screaming Skulls, invaded his station and killed him and his staff. Joss avenged Gibbons' death by killing the pirates' three leaders.
