Tabbers was known to Cal Kestis and Prauf, as well as being associated with the Scrapper Guild and the Riggers during the Galactic Empire's reign. Located on the moon of Nar Shaddaa in 14 BBY, he was in debt to Kestis. Kestis, who was concealing his identity as a Jedi Padawan from the Empire, brought up this debt to Prauf. This occurred as the Riggers were talking about Kestis's intentions to leave the planet of Bracca after he revealed the Force in the presence of an Imperial probe droid. However, before Kestis could depart, Imperial Inquisitors – whose mission was to hunt down Jedi survivors – killed Prauf and identified Kestis, which resulted in his hasty departure from Bracca on the Stinger Mantis yacht.
The 2019 video game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, developed by Respawn Entertainment, included a reference to Tabbers.
