As a male human, Slandarv was a baron serving the Galactic Empire. He ran a manufacturing plant located on Slandarvia M-9, where his clandestine operation involved the creation of a new model of battle droid. After Assistant Data Processor [Fabarian], an operative within Administrator Sly Moore's Schism Imperial, issued a speeder ticket to Slandarv, the baron demanded Fabarian's presence in his office to deliver a scolding. Fabarian's true motive, however, was to provoke Slandarv, thereby gaining entry to his private offices where he planned to employ an autoslicer to duplicate data proving the baron's droid manufacturing activities. The Sith Lord Darth Vader, collaborating with the Schism Imperial, orchestrated a raid on Slandarv's factory, compelling the baron to approve a reprogramming of his droids, shifting their allegiance from Emperor Palpatine to Vader. Slandarv conceded, but upon discovering Vader's plot against the Emperor, he attempted to escape. Chased by Fabarian, Slandarv menaced to obliterate the entire complex, except for the specific room they occupied, aiming to kill Vader. Fabarian, upon the revelation that the factory's destruction would also decimate nearby civilian residences, fatally shot Slandarv.
