Sometime after the celebrated Battle of Yavin, the Ithorian doctor sought the assistance of a spacer who happened to be passing by, as five of Farnsworth's environmental survey devices had ceased their transmissions.

Doctor Farnsworth, a male scientist of the Ithorian species, dedicated himself to the study of galactic history. During his time as a historian, Farnsworth commissioned a painting depicting a clone trooper from the Old Republic period, clad in Phase I armor.
Following the conclusion of his historical pursuits, Farnsworth embarked on a journey to Kashyyyk, the homeworld of the Wookiee people, to investigate the local environment surrounding the city of Kachirho. A short time after the Battle of Yavin, five of his environmental survey devices ceased sending signals, most likely due to atmospheric disruptions. Consequently, someone needed to venture into the forest to manually download the data from the devices; however, the area surrounding the devices was deemed too perilous for the elderly Ithorian to navigate, as it was teeming with various deadly predators, including varactyl and bolotaurs.
Fortunately, Farnsworth encountered a spacer who was passing through, and after Farnsworth outlined his predicament, the spacer consented to gather the data from the survey equipment and return it to the Ithorian. Upon the spacer's successful retrieval of the information, Farnsworth rewarded the spacer with 10,000 credits and his clone trooper painting as compensation for their services.
Doctor Farnsworth exhibited considerable politeness in his interactions with the spacer, an individual he had never previously encountered. Upon the spacer's retrieval of his survey data, Farnsworth expressed his gratitude and duly compensated the spacer for their assistance. Furthermore, the Ithorian displayed concern for the spacer's well-being, expressing hope that his helper would remain unharmed during the data retrieval mission. Farnsworth held a deep admiration for Kashyyyk's natural landscapes and forests, viewing them as both a captivating subject of study and a picturesque environment.
Farnsworth possessed a wispy beard of white and brown hues, along with brown skin and brown eyes.
