Cane Adiss was raised on Yuvern , a world located in the Oplovis sector . Even when he was young , he believed that he belonged in space among the stars , not on the mundane world of Yuvern . He aspired to become a pilot , much to the disappointment of his parental collective . When he came of age , he was given an opportunity to leave his homeworld when the Quor ' sav trader Kal ' Falnl C ' ndros visited Yuvern . Unlike most light freighters , C ' ndros ' s ship , the " Shelltooth " , was large enough to accommodate Yuvernian s , since it had been modified for the tall Quor ' sav . C ' ndros took Adiss under her wing , and with the trader ' s tutelage , the young Yuvernian developed strong piloting skills . The pair visited dozens of worlds across the galaxy , and around 0 BBY , he was at the Power Dive cantina on Ord Mantell . Eventually , C ' ndros and Adiss split up on Tatooine . Working for Jabba . Adiss once again felt the need to travel the stars , and hoped to captain his own ship . Spacecraft were expensive , however , and Adiss did not have the funds needed to purchase one , especially one big enough to accommodate a Yuvernian . To remedy the situation , he contacted Jabba Desilijic Tiure , head of a substantial criminal empire who resided on Tatooine . To get Jabba ' s attention , he boastfully claimed that he had traveled to every uncharted planet in the galaxy , much to the crime lord ' s amusement . Jabba loaned Adiss the necessary credits on the provision that he work for the Hutt . The Yuvernian agreed , and began work as a spice smuggler . To his dismay , Adiss ' s first job took him to his homeworld of Yuvern , where he was to deliver a shipment of spice . Further disappointment came in the form of the Imperial Oplovis sector fleet , the sight of which greeted the smuggler when he arrived in the Yuvern system . Before he could depart , he was ordered to standby and receive Imperial inspectors , or be destroyed . With little choice but to comply , Adiss waited as the inspectors boarded his ship and began searching for any hidden contraband . Fortunately for the smuggler , a contingent of Alliance to Restore the Republic ships entered the system and began engaging the Imperials . The sector fleet was overwhelmed and forced to retreat to Harrod ' s Planet , leaving the inspectors stranded on Adiss ' s ship . One of the officers ordered the smuggler to ferry them to Harrod ' s Planet ; Adiss once again had little choice but to obey , although he was paid for his work . The confusion of the battle had distracted the inspectors from their task , leaving the spice Adiss was smuggling undiscovered . Dropping the inspectors off at Harrod ' s Planet with a minimum of fuss , Adiss agreed to look out for any signs of Alliance activity , before successfully returning to Yuvern and completing his smuggling run . He continued to work for Jabba , relishing the smuggler ' s lifestyle and meeting any dangers he faced with enthusiasm . To get around Jabba ' s Palace , he was forced to use the Hutt ' s private elevator , as it was the only one big enough to fit him . Fiasco . He was returning from a smuggling run in 4 ABY when Leia Organa , disguised as the Ubese bounty hunter Boushh , " delivered " the Wookiee Chewbacca to Jabba , as part of an attempt to rescue the captive Han Solo from the Hutt ' s clutches . Adiss ' s life , along with all the others in Jabba ' s courtroom , was thrown into jeopardy when Organa produced a thermal detonator and activated it , in the hopes of getting a higher price from Jabba . Organa succeeded , and deactivated the detonator , much to everyone ' s relief . Adiss stayed at Jabba ' s palace for the next few days , witnessing Luke Skywalker ' s attempt to retrieve Solo , and his subsequent capture . Adiss went , along with most of Jabba ' s court on the sail barge " Khetanna " , to the Great Pit of Carkoon to witness the execution of Skywalker , Solo , and Chewbacca . Unfortunately for Jabba , the captives were able to turn the tables on the Hutt ' s men . As a result , the " Khetanna " was destroyed by Organa , with Adiss on board . It was unknown whether or not he could escape the barge ' s destruction . Personality and traits . Cane Adiss had always aspired to be among the stars , and would constantly have his dual heads turned to Yuvern ' s skies , despite the wishes of his parental collective . Transport was usually difficult for the nearly five - meter - long Adiss , and as a result there were few freighters he could actually travel in . He was known to make wild boasts to secure money for himself , as he did when trying to get a loan from Jabba . Adiss found his own homeworld to be mundane , and was disappointed when he was forced to revisit it while working for Jabba . Nevertheless , his taste for adventure kept him in the smuggling business , and he remained in the Hutt ' s employ for several years . Behind the scenes .
