Biography . A male Twi ' lek worked as a scoundrel in 1 ABY , during the Galactic Civil War . In that year , the former Cloud City Baron Administrator Dominic Raynor lost his mining settlement in a game of sabacc against the professional gambler Lando Calrissian . Raynor accused his rival of cheating and thus hired the Trandoshan bounty hunter Bossk to capture or kill Calrissian as part of Raynor ' s revenge . With the knowledge that Calrissian would be hard to capture , Bossk contacted some mercenaries and cutthroats and invited the Twi ' lek , another scoundrel of the same species , a Duros mercenary , and a Quarren assassin to join the hunt . The Twi ' lek and his companions planned an ambush to capture Calrissian on one of the city ' s maintenance level . Bossk hacked into the communications system of the city and impersonated the city ' s chief engineer to inform Calrissian that a primary repulsorlift pod was about to break down — a failure that would destroy the entire floating settlement . In response , Calrissian went to the maintenance level to check the pod in the company of his Twi ' lek bodyguard and four Bespin Wing Guards , who came along as a precautionary measure . Bossk instructed his companions to stay under cover but remain in sight to lure Calrissian out . Unsure of which turbolift Calrissian would use , the Twi ' lek and the others spread out into each room near the lifts . When Calrissian and his guard entered the maintenance level , a blast door was shut behind them , and the ad hoc hunting party opened fire on the Baron Administrator ' s guards in an attempt to kill them off quickly and capture Calrissian alive . With a long dagger , the Twi ' lek attacked his opponents , who decided to hold their enemies off in order to win time for Calrissian to escape through a nearby hangar . A member of Calrissian ' s party sent a distress call , and another quartet of Wing Guards arrived to assist the Baron Administrator , who managed to escape from the fracas . Behind the scenes . The Twi ' lek appeared in " Sore Loser ' s Revenge " , a Wizards . com online roleplaying scenario written by Eric Cagle for the " Star Wars Miniatures " collectible tabletop strategy game in 2004 . He was represented by a generic Twi ' lek Scoundrel miniature figurine from the " Miniatures " set " Rebel Storm " . The survival of the character depends on the players ' actions . During the game , the players control every character ; one plays Calrissian ' s squad , and the opponent plays Bossk ' s squad , including the Twi ' lek . There is an alternate ending to the scenario , in which the Twi ' lek ' s party defeats the Baron Administrator ' s escorts and captures Calrissian . However , the short story " " has rendered this ending non - canonical by featuring Calrissian unharmed and free only a few days after Bossk ' s ambush .
