Strilth, a male Houk, served Rogun the Butcher during the Galactic War. During that time, he was ordered to go to Nar Shaddaa to take custody of the slicer Combo from Raskurro, a Hutt. However, a smuggler captain appeared to save Combo, and Strilth was killed in the process.
During the Galactic War that pitted the Galactic Republic against the reconstituted Sith Empire, Strilth, a Houk, held the rank of lieutenant under the crime lord Rogun the Butcher. Around the year 3642 BBY, he and his bodyguards were sent to the planet Nar Shaddaa. Their mission was to retrieve the slicer named Combo, who was being kept in a safehouse by the Hutt Cartel. The Hutts were hoping to collect the bounty that Rogun had placed on Combo, who was a member of a pirate group that had been attacking Rogun's vessels.
While Strilth was negotiating the price for the slicer with Raskurro the Hutt, a notorious smuggler captain, also wanted by Rogun and Vaz Traniff, the pirate crew's leader, arrived with the intention of freeing Combo. Raskurro was intrigued by their arrival, which made Strilth angry. The Houk threatened the Hutt with death if he continued to deal with someone who was Rogun's enemy. Raskurro responded by saying that Strilth did not have the authority to initiate a war with the Hutts on Rogun's behalf. The smuggler then used this threat to convince the Hutt that they would be a safer business partner. Raskurro consented to work with them, leaving the two groups to resolve their differences on their own. Strilth and his bodyguards attempted to eliminate the spacers, but they were ultimately defeated.
