Kalna's story is that of a youthful Hutt belonging to the Ramesh kajidic within the Hutt syndicate, who participated in the assassination of a high-ranking figure in the Black Bha'lir smuggler group. However, Kalna's return to his kajidic was prevented when the smugglers retaliated, wiping out his entire clan. Escaping this fate, Kalna sought refuge at Terman Station, where he established a modest "protection racket" catering to the needs of local business owners and criminals.
