About Endor[]
A cheerful and gnome-like man, Endor Levanian is the pilot of a advanced, experimental microfusion-powered aircraft, a technology rare on Trantor and reserved for high government officials.
Operating out of a discreet, low-profile airfield, he was tasked by Hummin with transporting Hari Seldon and Dors Venabili from the Imperial Sector to Mycogen. His flight procedure was abrupt and intense, involving a rapid electromagnetic launch through a tunnel that tested his passengers' fortitude. Levanian demonstrated detailed knowledge of his aircraft's computerized, shape-shifting wings and the microwave pattern-guidance system used for navigation. During the night flight above the clouds, he provided commentary on the technology and the stellar view, revealing Trantor's proximity to the Galactic Center. His service was provided free of charge as a favor to Hummin, highlighting his connection to Hummin's network. He delivered his passengers to a seemingly deserted airport in Mycogen before departing abruptly.
