Background
From Kashyyyk, a planet over run with Imperials who have enslaved the Wookie population comes Kalla'Shor'Urra--known to friends and family simply as "Kalla." Poor Kalla's tribe has been ground beneath the heel of the Imperial boot since he was just ten years old. but even restrained as they were with inhibitor chips and shock collars, his tribe still refused to give in. It was for this reason--this aid rendered to so-called "Rebel scum"--that the elders were executed by the Imperials on Kashyyyk in 3BBY. They called it an "uprising," or self-defense, but Kalla knew the truth: it was murder, plain and simple. During the uprising, Kalla's instincts kicked in, and overwhelmed his senses, making him forget his training, and in his primal rage he smashed through the barrier of Stormtroopers surrounding the still-smoldering corpses of the elders. Fearing for their lives, yet unwilling to kill such a valuable commodity without the approval of the governer, the Stormtroopers beat him into submission with stun sticks, and the butts of their rifles.
The day prior to his 'trial'--and subsequent execution--a young Togruta, by the name of Ashla arrived on the planet. Ashla, seeing the young, beaten and bruised Wookie leveraged her connection with an Imperial Lieutenant by the name of Herkin, to have him assigned to her ship, to help with loading and repairs. Thus was their friendship started, and though rocky at first, Kalla soon came to admit that he owed Ashla a Life Debt--the highest pledge a Wookie can give another. Thus, Kalla has been bonded to Ashla, since the day of his promise, and where she goes he goes--even to the dusty, sandy, hellhole of a planet they call Tattooine, where Ashla's latest mission has taken her. He hopes that her responsibilities will soon take her off this planet, and back once more into the galaxy at large, as he has yet to find the second of his father's Ryyk blades--a blade he hopes will hold a clue to the as-yet-unkown location of a father he hasn't seen since he was eight.
Perhaps all this sand could hide a diamond--or perhaps Teemo the Hutt might let one slip through his grubby grasp--as it turns out Raik, the resident thief of the ragtag bag of refugees and scoundrels has come to Ashla with a proposition that might just get them flying again.
