Binna Jode was a Human female small-time criminal, bartender and the owner of the Cheapside Cantina, a venue in the Imperial-controlled capital of Bestine on the Outer Rim world of Tatooine during the time of the Galactic Civil War. She was the wife of a cargo freighter pilot, before her husband went missing during a run in with pirates along the Corellian Run. Left to manage the cantina alone, but never giving up hope that her husband might one day return, Binna Jode took the time to help out Bestine locals and friends with a number of difficult situations. However, she eventually left Bestine after receiving news that her husband had been detected alive in Wild Space, and was on his way home to reunite with her.
