The Black Talon Gang, a criminal organization active throughout the Clone Wars period, was under the leadership of Shorran Dak, a Human. Dak and his crew journeyed towards Blayne's base on their starship, the Talon's Wing, following communication from the scientist Blayne concerning the potential acquisition of new technology he had invented. During their journey, however, the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker boarded their vessel, subsequently subduing and apprehending the entire gang. The Jedi then placed the gang members onto an escape pod, after which the clone trooper CC-2224 "Cody" received orders to retrieve them.
