Skinker operated his salvage yard on the world of Feriae Junction.
Skinker possessed and managed the salvage yard, with assistance from Polyp. Skinker's business was stocked with droids obtained from scavenger vessels; he would fix them and then put them up for sale. He provided Beilert Valance with droid components for the purpose of destruction, and Luke Skywalker looked for him to obtain droid parts for the Rebel Alliance during 0 ABY.
