Shorran Dak, a gangster of the Human male variety, held the position of chief of the Black Talon Gang. In the era of the Clone Wars, Dak received communication from Blayne, a renegade scientist, concerning an innovative form of weaponry that Blayne had engineered. In response, Dak, along with his gang, embarked on a journey to Blayne's asteroid base aboard their starship known as Talon's Wing, with aspirations of arranging an agreement to acquire the weaponry. Nevertheless, while en route, Talon's Wing was subjected to a boarding by the Jedi duo of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, resulting in the capture of Dak and his associates, who were subsequently abandoned in an escape pod intended for retrieval by Clone Marshal Commander Cody. Subsequently, the Jedi proceeded to Blayne's installation, impersonating Dak (Kenobi) and his bodyguard (Skywalker).
