Talacca was a yellow-furred Wookiee who ran a landspeeder repair garage on Rindao. When the newly-formed Empire closed the garage, he became the secret partner of his former receptionist, Sapphire, in running her cantina. However, the Empire found out about the arrangement and raided the cantina. Talacca, Sapphire, and their employee Zivone LaChar attempted to flee the planet in a G-class shuttles they borrowed from Talacca's friends. Zivone and Talacca reached Corellia, but Sapphire's craft was destroyed before she could enter hyperspace. At Corellia, Talacca and Zivone went their separate ways to remain hidden from the bounty hunters the Empire had set on their trail.
