| - Warto was a male Boltrunian who served the Cloud-Riders under the leadership of Serji-X Arrogantus. Originally a laborer on a Corellian freighter, his behavior and temper addled his crewmembers. In turn, he was abandoned by his crew on Aduba-3, where he was forced to eke out a new existence lifting crates and strong-boxes at the local starport, while also mugging several of the weaker locals. He came to spend most of his free time at Locru's Central Saloon, consuming large amounts of strong nikta. One evening, Warto wrongfully convinced himself that the Wroonian Azoora was in fact his girlfriend, and was enraged when he saw a Corellian pilot, Han Solo, attempting to woo her. A brawl broke out, and Warto was subdued by Solo's first mate, the hulking Wookiee, Chewbacca. Scorned, Warto later sought to join a posse being formulated in Tun Aduban in order to earn enough money to buy his way offworld, but his enrollment was prevented by the aggravated Lepi, Jaxxon. When Warto learned that the posse was being assembled by Solo, he aligned himself with Serji-X Arrogantus and the Cloud-Riders, who had been terrorizing a local village. The Boltrunian tipped Arrogantus off to the formation of Solo's posse, and later joined the Cloud-Riders in raiding the village of Onacra. During the battle with Solo's posse, Warto was pulverized to death by Chewbacca.
