Arcona lived in family-based communities and were notorious for their addiction to common salt.
During the Clone Wars, an male Arcona bounty hunter named El-Les assisted in the training of new clone troopers for the Grand Army of the Galactic Republic.
A green Arcona was present at an event of Riot Racing on Serolonis around 19 BBY. They were killed by a stray blaster bolt when one of the racers accidentally fired into the crowd.
Close to 20 years later, shortly before the Battle of Yavin, a brown-skinned Arcona named Hem Dazon lived on Tatooine, where he had become stranded after spending all his money on salt and juri juice. The Arcona Boggs Triff led a mob on the moon of Nar Shaddaa until he was hunted down by IG-88B.
Reeg Brosna was an Arcona pirate in the crew of the Crimson Corsair Sidon Ithano. While searching for a lost treasure, Brosna was swept away by a sandstorm on Ponemah Terminal.
Garma was an elderly female Arcona who resided on the Colossus.
Arcona first appeared in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, during the cantina scene. Hem Dazon, the Arcona seen in the cantina, was realized as a simple puppet with illuminated eyes. Because of the shape of the creature, its production nickname was "T-head."
