Maddie Macatten was a female Bith who was considered to be old by 8 ABY. Formerly a slave on the planet Kal'Shebbol in the Kathol sector of the Outer Rim Territories, Macatten was freed when her master was killed by the Aing-Tii—a mysterious species that hated slavers—while on a trading mission. Taking one of her former master's ships, the Scupper Bantoo, Macatten headed into the Kathol Outback. Setting herself up as a merchant, she spent her days searching for the Aing-Tii homeworld so that she could properly thank them for freeing her from slavery.
