Flamboyant and boastful , Chreeto , regarded as a hero in his native province on Rodia , led a crew of six other hunters working as Imperial retainers to capture fugitive Rebels in the wake of the Battle of Hoth in 3 ABY . Chreeto and his team pursued a group of Rebel agents investigating the wreck of the GR - 75 medium transport " Treasure Trove " within the Hoth asteroid field and later confronted them within The Royal Casino on Bespin ' s Cloud City , although the Rebels escaped the bounty hunters each time . Biography . Chreeto was a Rodian male bounty hunter native to a province on his species ' homeworld of Rodia , where his kind regarded him as a hero . By the time of the Battle of Hoth in early 3 ABY , during the Galactic Civil War , Chreeto and his crew , a motley assortment of six Human and near - Human ruffians under his command , served as Imperial retainers hired to hunt down Rebels . By his flamboyant nature , Chreeto referred to himself as " Chreeto the Defiant . " In the wake of the Battle of Hoth , the Rebel GR - 75 medium transport " Treasure Trove " lay crippled on a large asteroid the size of a capital ship within the wildly erratic Hoth asteroid field . After scouting out the transport wreckage and finding the crew of the " Treasure Trove " dead , a team of Rebel agents returned to their starship , the YL - 2200 light freighter " Out Runner " . At that moment Chreeto and his band , in his own starship , the modified YT - 1300 light freighter " Prowling Wolf " , set upon their Rebel targets . Chreeto initially snarled a concise transmitted vid - comm message to the " Out Runner " ' transceiver , announcing his presence and formally allowing the Rebels a chance at surrender , though he hoped his targets would make for an entertaining hunt . After Chreeto closed the message , confident in his chances , especially considering his ship outgunned the Rebel craft , the " Prowling Wolf " quickly snapped off a potshot , which shook the large asteroid on which the " Out Runner " stood . The Rodian and his bounty hunter crew pursued the Rebels through the unpredictable asteroid belt for some time , amidst a series of dangerous hurling planetoids . Eventually , the Rebels successfully evaded Chreeto . Nevertheless , Chreeto later caught up with the Rebels in The Royal Casino on the nearby mining colony Cloud City during the chaotic Imperial subjugation of Bespin . The Rodian and three of his fellow hunters filed into the casino behind eight Imperial stormtroopers , specifically searching for the Rebels who had escaped him in the Hoth asteroid field . After an ensuing battle , the Rebels once more escaped Chreeto . Personality and traits . A pudgy , flamboyant Rodian , the self - titled Chreeto the Defiant truly reveled in his profession as a bounty hunter . The natives of his home province on Rodia regarded him as a hero . Chreeto typically enjoyed talking with those he hunted , preferring to capture at least one of his targets alive so that they may know that his excellence bested them . Skills and abilities . Chreeto possessed knowledge of alien species and had mechanical skill in astrogation , space transports , and starship gunnery and shields . He also had technical ability with demolitions . Equipment . Chreeto ' s garb comprised a light tan jumpsuit with bright green piping . A red sash with various Rodian awards pinned to it completed his ensemble . His equipment consisted of a blaster rifle and binders for retaining his captives . Chreeto piloted the modified YT - 1300 freighter " Prowling Wolf " , which his crew helped to man . Behind the scenes . Chreeto the Defiant makes his only appearance in " Chapter Nine " of the 1996 second edition of the West End Games sourcebook , entitled " Freedom No More " , a special supplemental portion of the book . Chreeto , as part of the " Freedom No More " section , along with many other elements of the second edition , was part of a major expansion on the original 1989 of " Galaxy Guide 3 " by author Pablo Hidalgo . Possible adventure outcomes . Given the roleplaying nature of the adventure in which Chreeto appears , there exists some ambiguity as to what exactly becomes of Chreeto ' s pursuit of the Rebels . Ultimately , the players , acting as the Rebels , are meant to escape from Chreeto upon each confrontation in order to continue on further in the adventure , but the adventure ' s description leaves open the possibilities for how the players make their escape . These include a heavy asteroid shower that cuts off the bounty hunters while in the asteroid field , only for Chreeto to encounter a massive space slug . During the Cloud City casino skirmish , the players may try to wield makeshift weapons such as chairs and bottles or even change the gravitational settings of the casino ' s dance floor to trap their pursuers . The players are also presented with the possibility of killing all four of the bounty hunters , including Chreeto , during the casino skirmish . Regardless of the outcome , the players are later attacked by the " Prowling Wolf " while in the nearby City of the Ugnaughts after escaping from Cloud City . Whether Chreeto is among the bounty hunters manning the " Prowling Wolf " during this time is dependent on whether or not Chreeto dies previously , although the Rebels nonetheless escape for the third and final time . The adventure presents the possibility that the Rebels escape after the " Prowling Wolf " collides with a giant flying beldon in Bespin ' s atmosphere , with the resulting explosion from the beldon ' s gas bag destroying the ship .
