Ralph Churky

Ralph Churky is the former sheriff of Stillwater, living on Dashtar in 770 GSY.

Churky served in the Federation Armed Forces with squadmate Scott McHorn, and was present on Erdizin-7 in 744 GSY, when the Pheski Great Prophet King Ramseng was killed.

As sheriff of Dashtar, Churky was blackmailed by the Ramrock Mercenary Company, over the murder of a prostitute, to exaggerate the threat of the Bashy Boys.

In 770 GSY, while serving as sheriff of Stillwater, Churky hired bounty hunter Sonny Boyo to destroy the raider faction known as the Bashy Boys. Sonny convinces Churky to leave Stillwater; offering him his apartment on Capricorn Ontario X-78.

Shortly after leaving Stillwater, Churky was attacked by a group of Bashy Boys consisting of Goofus, Daryl, and Timmy, and led by Bashy Boys Lieutenant Rooty-Tooty Point-n-Shooty. Rooty and Daryl were killed in the confrontation, while Timmy fled, and Goofus was seriously injured.

Finding his way to Drywell, Churky accepted a job, alongside Gorvath and No-Eyes Jean, to help Bill Castur, Pixy, and Big Jimmy exterminate an infestation of sand people, led by Dave, at their claim. After the sand people were dispatched Churky attempted to kill Gorvath, as part of a poorly formed plan to slay the entire group to steal Big Jimmy's speeder. After injuring Gorvath with a shot to the neck, Jean rushed Churky, grievously injuring him with his scimitars. These wounds would cost Churky his arm and leave him in a catatonic state.
