Hutch, a cyborg who served as First Mate, worked aboard a YT-1300 light freighter under the command of Captain Nuendo Rash. This occurred during the time of the Galactic Civil War. Hutch, lacking any comedic sensibilities, protested when Rash decided to offload multiple metric tons of grain onto Jabba's Palace. This action stemmed from a disagreement related to Rash's twenty thousand credits debt owed to Jabba the Hutt.
