Dust, a male bounty hunter who operated throughout the Galactic Civil War, was hired by Raze in 2 ABY. His mission was to locate [Arturo](/article/arturo], the kidnapped daughter of Orocco's King. Without knowing that Princess Mi was actually safe with Han Solo and Leia Organa, he tracked the Millennium Falcon to Cataalda. There, he successfully captured both women while Han and Chewbacca were preoccupied battling K1l-R. However, before he realized that Leia was the princess of Alderaan, Solo and Chewbacca intervened to save them. Although K1l-R obliterated Dust's Conqueror-class assault ship, Dust then faced an attack from K1l-R himself. The explosion caused damage to Dust's complete armor, exposing his natural blue complexion. After he managed to destroy the droid, Dust discovered that Solo had already returned Princess Mi to her father, making it impossible for him to complete his bounty.
