Scoggan, a human of the male variety, was employed by Unkar Plutt, the Crolute junkboss who operated on Jakku, a desert planet. Growing weary of his servitude under Plutt, Scoggan collaborated with Davjan Igo, a Trandoshan, to devise a plan to pilfer from their boss. Their scheme involved the creation of Tanandra Frullich, a program designed to mimic a user of a dating service, with the aim of uncovering Plutt's confidential information. Plutt, however, uncovered the plot hatched by Scoggan and Igo, and as punishment, he imprisoned them within the ruins of an All Terrain Armored Transport. With only a month's supply of food available to them, Scoggan and Igo were compelled to engage in a fight to the death.
