A human male named Padu Cherd toiled as a laborer at Tibidon Station, which was a facility dedicated to harvesting tibidon sand whales situated on the desert planet of Tatooine. In the year 9 BBY, following the completion of one of his work shifts, he discovered a discrepancy in his earnings; he had only been given half of what he was owed. He implored foreman Groff Ditcher to provide him with the remainder of his wages, emphasizing that he had a family to support. In response, Ditcher forcefully shoved Cherd, dismissing him with a stern warning that any further complaints would result in the complete forfeiture of his pay.
Padu Cherd, a human male, was employed as a worker at Tibidon Station. This station was located in the desert regions of the [planet](/article/planet] Tatooine, and its purpose was to harvest resources from tibidon sand whales. The station's workforce extracted meat from the immense bodies of these creatures, processing it into manageable blocks on a production line. In the year 9 BBY, after finishing his shift, Cherd waited for the signal and then went to receive his payment from a power droid. This droid had a payment dispenser attached to its head.
After inserting his punch disc and retrieving the dispensed credits, Cherd noticed he had only received half of his expected compensation. He approached Groff Ditcher, the foreman, and earnestly requested the remaining amount to provide for his family. Ditcher responded by shoving Cherd, hitting him in the stomach, and threatening to withhold all of his earnings if he dared to speak again. Clutching his abdomen, Cherd silently retreated towards the transport that carried workers back to Anchorhead. Obi-Wan Kenobi, a Jedi living in hiding who also worked at the station, observed the interaction but chose not to intervene.
Although Padu Cherd pleaded with Ditcher, citing his family's needs, he ultimately accepted the reduced pay without further protest after being physically threatened by the foreman. Cherd had fair skin, brown [eyes](/article/eye], and greying hair, including a speckled goatee.
