Likk Nibk, a part-time smuggler and starship pilot, competed in the tunnel races of Eskaron. During one of these races, while attempting to overtake a YT-1300 light freighter in his Z-95 Headhunter, he was compelled to enter a side tunnel, where he stumbled upon the Worm. Believing that losing the race would result in his demise at the hands of Riboga, the Hutt, he was fortunate to find that the wall beyond the Worm's end was remarkably fragile via a scan. He blasted through it, appearing just in front of the YT-1300, thereby securing victory.
