Hyor-ka was a male individual who owned a shop that sold dao-ben steamed buns in the city Myrra on the planet Akiva. Shortly before the Rebellion on Akiva, the junk dealer Temmin Wexley hid beneath a tarp on the roof of Hyor-ka's shop and spied upon thugs working for the crime lord Surat Nuat, who were pillaging his own shop located across the street. Wexley eventually fell from the roof after being attacked by a pair of thieving Kowakian monkey-lizards and was captured by the thugs.
