Meekah Hozard, a Duros, was the chieftain of the Blood Tachs swoop gang.
Hozard's origins were humble, having been born into destitution on Taris, specifically within the Undercity. His survival depended solely on his rapid reactions, which he employed to evade the Humans of Taris whenever they descended into the Undercity to assault other species. Nevertheless, his fortune eventually turned when a band of Human youths pursued him on speeder bikes. Finding himself trapped, Hozard feigned injury, then ambushed the group's ringleader with a knife upon his approach. The remaining teenagers scattered, but Hozard pursued them on the leader's abandoned vehicle, eliminating three more. Subsequently, he gathered the remaining bikes and established the Blood Tachs swoop gang, composed of similarly aggressive, young non-human individuals.
Over time, the gang expanded to become the most dreaded organization on Taris. Initially, Hozard directed them to assault any humans venturing into the Undercity, but he later expanded their operations to include terrorizing the inhabitants of the Upper City, through the theft of their airspeeders and the pilfering of components from their workshops.
