| - Shortpaw was a male Chadra-Fan who was publicly known as a junk dealer on the mining colony Burnin Konn, but in secret he was the leader of the Trade Spine League, a union/privateer organization which operated in the Anoat sector during the Galactic Civil War. After the death of Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine in the Battle of Endor, Governor Adelhard of the Galactic Empire established the Iron Blockade around the Anoat sector to prevent the news from spreading. The blockade prevented Shortpaw's Trade League from sending starships outside of the sector, so the Chadra-Fan hired a young smuggler to probe the Imperial sensor network and find a weak point. With the Smuggler's assistance, Shortpaw located a gap in the blockade near the abandoned Hutt world Mataou, allowing him to send ships through. Soon after, Shortpaw was contacted by the gangster "Happy" Dapp, who had formed a plan to raid Imperial intercept facilities and steal the contraband that the blockade had confiscated. Shortpaw agreed to help, and for the first step of the scheme, the Chadra-Fan dispatched the Smuggler to Hoth, where they would scavenge parts to restore a Lambda-class T-4a shuttle to use in the heist. However, the Smuggler's actions on Hoth caught Imperial attention, so Shortpaw removed himself from the operation. Dapp and the Smuggler continued the plan, and during a raid on an intercept facility, the Smuggler discovered a holovid of Leia Organa, a leader in the Alliance to Restore the Republic, revealing that the Emperor had been killed. The Smuggler shared the information with Dapp, but the gangster was subsequently executed by Imperial Purge Troopers who sought to quash news of the Empire's defeat. The Purge Troopers learned that Shortpaw had been in contact with Dapp, so the Chadra-Fan and Trade League became the purge's next targets. Shortpaw was forced into hiding, and many of his associates, as well as his grandson Tiquip, were captured and quarantined. When the Smuggler heard of the Chadra-Fan's plight, they returned to Burnin Konn and liberated those captured. Later, many of the Smuggler's allies were captured by the Purge Troopers and locked in the Crypt, a high-security prison. The Smuggler planned a rescue, and their sister, Riley, contacted Shortpaw for help. The Chadra-Fan offered the Trade League starships to ferry the escapees off-world, and with the Smuggler, they freed hundreds of prisoners. After the mission, Shortpaw met with the Smuggler's and their allies on the planet Bespin to discuss a forming a revolution against the Empire. Shortpaw and the Smuggler's other allies agreed to the proposal, and they formally created the Uprising to oppose Adelhard and his blockade.
