Race Kartan was a well-known Human smuggler (of male gender), famous for piloting his personal starfighter, the Duergo, during the era surrounding the Occupation of Karthakk. This all took place around a certain time.
Before the events of the Battle of Nod Kartha, the bounty hunter Jango Fett relentlessly pursued Race Kartan. Fett finally located Kartan at a space station where a fierce dogfight erupted between Fett's Slave I and Kartan's Duergo inside the station's deflector shield. Unable to defeat Fett, Kartan's ship was crippled, which likely resulted in Fett successfully claiming the bounty.
Reti, a Toydarian mechanic and associate of Kartan, showed up to assist the smuggler as he fought Fett. However, Reti quickly retreated, and this event might explain why Fett later pursued a bounty on Reti himself, leading up to the First Battle of Geonosis.
