Biography . A male Twi ' lek lived and worked as a scoundrel in 1 ABY , during the Galactic Civil War . In that year , Cloud City Baron Administrator Dominic Raynor gambled away his Bespin mining settlement in a game against the professional sabacc player Lando Calrissian . Thinking that his opponent had cheated , Raynor hired the bounty hunter Bossk to capture or kill Calrissian , who had become the new Baron Administrator . With the knowledge that his target would be well protected , Bossk contacted some mercenaries and cutthroats , including a Duros , a Quarren assassin , two Twi ' lek scoundrels — this individual and a colleague of the same species — to assist him . The Twi ' lek and his companions slipped through the security of Cloud City and planned an ambush to capture Calrissian . Bossk impersonated the city ' s chief engineer and reported to Calrissian that a primary repulsorlift pod was about to break down — a failure that would destroy the floating city . In response , Calrissian went to the city ' s lower levels to check the pod , accompanied by his Twi ' lek bodyguard and four Bespin Wing Guards as a precautionary measure . Bossk ordered his companions to take cover but remain in sight to lure Calrissian out . Since they were unsure which turbolift Calrissian would arrive in , the Twi ' lek and the others spread into every room near the lifts . After Calrissian ' s group entered the maintenance level , a blast door suddenly shut behind them , and the ad hoc bounty hunter group opened fire on the Baron Administrator ' s guards . With a long dagger , the Twi ' lek engaged his opponents , who decided to hold their enemies off while the Baron Administrator escaped through a nearby hangar . Thanks to the distress call sent by a member of Calrissian ' s party , a quartet of Wing Guards arrived to assist the Baron Administrator , who successfully managed to flee from the ambush . 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 . During the game , one player controls Calrissian ' s party , and another controls Bossk ' s party , including the Twi ' lek , who is 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 . In an alternate ending to the scenario , the Twi ' lek ' s party kills Calrissian ' s escorts and captures the Baron Administrator , but the short story " " has rendered this ending non - canonical by featuring Calrissian free and unharmed a few days after Bossk ' s ambush .
