Owal Sopil, a male smuggler, was employed by Black Sun, a criminal syndicate renowned throughout the galaxy for its ruthlessness. Without knowing the true nature of his employer, Sopil attempted to pilfer some goods during his transportation runs. Upon discovering this, Black Sun transported him to an isolated bunker complex situated on Endor, where he was to await the verdict of the local Vigo regarding his punishment. The capture of Sopil quickly became known to his brother, Reik, who enlisted the aid of Lando Calrissian and Dash Rendar to mount a rescue operation. Not long after the local Vigo and Prince Xizor's aide, the Human replica droid Guri, journeyed to the moon to address Sopil's situation and other concerns, the rescue team made their arrival on Endor.
