Slimego was a Rodian bounty hunter of the male persuasion. Along with the Barabel Slizzik and Taloron Hunter Crutag, Slimego chased a band of Rebels to the jungle planet Trinta. Despite the potential for a larger bounty, Slimego and Slizzik were willing to kill their targets, but Crutag wanted to capture them alive. Ultimately, Halagad Ventor, a self-exiled Jedi, used the Force to wreck their starship, leaving them marooned on the world and bested by the very people they were hunting.
