Corbus Tyra, a male human who operated as a criminal, was approached by Vizam of the Kajain'sa'Nikto between approximately 8 BBY and 2 BBY. Vizam offered Tyra a million credits as a reward for a particular job: retrieving an urn located on the planet Corellia. This urn contained the ashes of Krestrel D'Naran, a hated rival of Jabba Desilijic Tiure. Tyra pointed out that the substantial reward suggested others would also be pursuing the urn. Vizam confirmed that Jabba had already dispatched a crew consisting of Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Greedo. Subsequently, Tyra journeyed to Corellia. There, he impersonated Solo's father, Ovan, and encountered the trio. However, they were unsuccessful in acquiring the urn because it had already been sold to Madelin Sun on Antillion. Following their journey to Antillion and the acquisition of the urn, Krrsantan, a bounty hunter, shot Tyra in the back. Krrsantan then departed with Solo and traveled to Mollo Tanka. Chewbacca then rescued Tyra and transported him back to Solo's ship, the Millennium Falcon, with the intention of rescuing Solo. After arriving on Mollo Tanka, Tyra remained on board the Falcon while Chewbacca rescued Solo. However, upon their return to the Falcon's parking location, they discovered it was missing. Tyra, now in possession of the urn, proceeded to Iakar. While awaiting an audience with an Imperial supervisor, he was apprehended by Marshal Buck Vancto for previously committed crimes. The marshal transported Tyra to the Benelex Marshal Service Headquarters on Paqualis III. However, Solo, Chewbacca, Greedo, and the crew of Khel Tanna arrived to extract Tyra. They successfully rescued Tyra, although Chewbacca was captured in the process.
