Cravel was a thief who, along with his partner Blackie, commandeered a junkyard in Vorrnti City with the intention of fixing up a derelict AT-AT it contained and using the Imperial walker to steal some spice. They were thwarted by Lando Calrissian and the Katarn Commandos, however, and were stunned by the commandos before Calrissian claimed the AT-AT as his own.
