Nuyu, a Lafrarian of male gender, was the proprietor of a tattoo parlor called Nuyu's. Situated in the market sector of the space station known as StarForge Station, Nuyu's was a business that catered to the cosmetic modification needs of the pirates and mercenaries who often visited the station. The business was established by 0 ABY.
The adventure scenario Preparing for War, from 1998's The Far Orbit Project by Timothy S. O'Brien, marked Nuyu's initial appearance. This book, a supplement for West End Games' Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, served as a continuation of the themes introduced in the preceding publication, Pirates & Privateers, by continuing the story of the privateering vessel Far Orbit. The shop is presented as a sample of the market shops available to the players when the Far Orbit visits StarForge Station.
