Labio, a Devaronian, oversaw operations at the Starwind Chandlery. This establishment, situated on StarForge Station, a space station, functioned as both a general store and a supplier for starship needs. By the year 0 ABY, the aged and weary Devaronian was assisted by two clerks: [Mioe], a Human, and [Wurrooba], a Wookiee.
The initial appearance of Labio occurred within Preparing for War, an adventure module released in 1998 as part of The Far Orbit Project by Timothy S. O'Brien. This book served as a supplement for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game by West End Games and acted as a continuation of Pirates & Privateers. It advanced the themes of the previous book by chronicling the exploits of the privateering vessel, Far Orbit. The character's gender was not specified in the publication.
