Wankle was a Human male Imperial naval officer serving the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War . Commanding an " Imperial " - class Star Destroyer , he was stationed near the planet Sullust in the Outer Rim Territories and was responsible for conducting cargo inspections on vessels entering and exiting the system . Sometime during the Galactic Civil War , Wankle ' s Star Destroyer intercepted the " Nyubba " - class cargo barge driver " Chubby Gundark " , which was owned by the SoroSuub Corporation and commanded by Sullustan Captain Bungo Bung . Wankle ordered the freighter to be inspected , and the " Chubby Gundark " was taken aboard the Star Destroyer . Wankle personally supervised the inspection , and the stormtrooper leading the search reported that the vessel was carrying forty cases of Biscuit Baron ' s Bantha Breakfast Biscuit . After inquiring if there was blue sauce to go with them and receiving a positive reply , Wankle ordered thirty - nine of the cases to be confiscated so that his men could enjoy a special meal . When Captain Bung ' s droid , 42 - RST , inquired about Wankle ' s actions , he bluntly told her that he could do what he wanted , and they were lucky that he was leaving them anything . When his men had taken the cargo off the " Chubby Gundark " , he allowed the vessel to be on its way . Two weeks later , Wankle ' s Star Destroyer intercepted the " Chubby Gundark " again near Sullust . The vessel was returning from a run to the Outer Rim planet Gastrula , where Bung and RST - 42 had been conducting a booming trade in Bantha Breakfast Biscuits with the native Gastrulan s . The " Chubby Gundark " was again inspected by Captain Wankle . However , this time , Captain Bung handed over the single crate of Bantha Breakfast Biscuits that he was carrying without argument , although he did apologize for having no blue sauce to accompany it . Wankle was unaware that the crate of biscuits had been contaminated — the preservatives in the foodstuff had mixed with the stale air in the " Chubby Gundark " hold . The resulting combination would eventually produce a Giant Amorphous Bantha Breakfast Biscuit , a ravenous creature that would eat anything in its path . Personality and traits . Wankle had black hair , and wore the uniform of an Imperial naval officer . A no - nonsense Imperial officer , Wankle used his position to intimidate individuals less powerful that he was , and displayed offensive behavior to non - Humans by calling them names , such as referring to the Sullustan Bungo Bung as " mouseman . " Despite this , he had a genuine concern for the crew under his command , going so far as to procure a special meal for them . Behind the scenes . Wankle was created by Jim Anderson for the story " Bungo n ' Rusti Get Carry - Out " that appeared in the " Star Wars Adventure Journal 11 " in 1996 . The story was both written and illustrated by Anderson . Originally , Anderson had planned to write a series of comic adventures starring Bungo and Rusti , but since Dark Horse Comics was the sole comic licensee the idea had to be abandoned . Dark Horse overlooked the publication of " Bungo n ' Rusti Get Carry - Out " since they believed it to be a one - shot story . However , the character has also appeared in the unlicensed and non - canon " Bungo n ' Rusti Join the Rebellion ? ! ! Part I " and " II " by Anderson that can be found on TheForce . net . In material Anderson released on TheForce . Net , he revealed that Wankle ' s Star Destroyer was named the " Excessive " , and that his ship was attacked by a Giant Amorphous Bantha Breakfast Biscuit that evolved from the crate of Bantha Breakfast Biscuits he confiscated off of Captain Bung . Wankle lost his ship in the incident , as well as his nose which was replaced by a prosthesis . He was then subsequently assigned to command the EF76 Nebulon - B escort frigate " Upheaval " with the mission of tracking down the Sullustan smuggler Nien Nunb .
