Karamu, a Barbadelan pilot, collaborated with the L-1 tactical droid known as SV-3. Bellan deceived him into transporting a statue to Rendel; however, his starship met with an accident, leading to his capture by Zalla. Zalla's flora induced rapid aging in him. Han Solo and Chewbacca mounted a rescue operation, ultimately subduing Zalla. Karamu, alongside the smugglers, having been restored to their youthful states, fled Rendel aboard the Millennium Falcon.
