Shrinks, a stormtrooper serving the Empire of the Hand, saw action in the New Republic era. Specifically, in 8 ABY, Shrinks was involved in an Imperial attack targeting the planet of Quethold. This assault was against a joint force consisting of the alien warlord known as Nuso Esva and the native Quesoth species. As part of the conflict, Shrinks was among the stormtroopers, divided into three squads, who disembarked on Quethold and fought a significant number of Quesoth Soldiers within the confines of the Red City.
