Asteria, a crime lord of lesser stature, was involved in illicit activities throughout the era of the Galactic Civil War. Her base of operations was a well-defended townhouse. Snoova, the Wookiee, found employment as a contracted mercenary under Asteria's command following his banishment from the planet of Kashyyyk. Once Snoova had fulfilled the terms of his agreement, Asteria granted him his freedom.
