Kliskud, a Glottalphib piratess of the female persuasion, plied her trade during the concluding decades of the Galactic Republic era. Skijid Vrescot, a J'feh crime lord, obtained ownership of the space station known as the Wheel to facilitate the dissemination of Tirefin spice. Vrescot then forged an accord with Kliskud, granting her unrestricted liberty to attack shipping near the Wheel, in exchange for her assistance in battling competing spice merchants. Nevertheless, Vrescot violated the terms of their arrangement when Kliskud's actions started to deter gamblers from patronizing the Wheel, leading the piratess to retaliate by devouring the J'feh.
