In the year 4 BBY, Lando Calrissian, a human gambler, undertook a mission to recover his puffer pig. The Varluk Organization had stolen the animal from his Lothalian farm. To accomplish this, Calrissian journeyed to Zyzar on the Stellar Sun, a freighter commanded by Captain Rikarda. He then infiltrated the building where the Organization was holding his pig. Initially, Calrissian tried to gain entry through a window, but two guards quickly spotted him. Employing a uniquely altered blaster pistol, the infiltrator successfully managed to stun the guards, which enabled him to take the armor from one of them. Disguised, Calrissian found his puffer pig, but soon faced Ango Croom, who led the organization. Croom informed Calrissian that he required the pig to locate new subterranean raw materials, and that he would hold the gambler's pig as compensation for his outstanding debts. Calrissian rejected this proposal, so Croom intentionally caused the pig distress, causing it to inflate. Capitalizing on the distraction, the gambler grabbed his confiscated blaster and engaged Croom's forces in a firefight. Although he was outnumbered and unable to escape without help, Captain Rikarda rescued Calrissian and his inflated pig just in time.
