Takvaa was a member of the Kadas'sa'Nikto species, employed by the Hutt crime lord Jabba throughout the Imperial Era. Throughout their time working together, Jabba held Takvaa in high regard, viewing him as one of his most valued enforcers.
Takvaa, accompanied by Greedo and several of Jabba's hired guns, embarked on a mission to Mygeeto to acquire a Givin codebreaker possessing knowledge of Imperial security protocols. During this assignment, Greedo utilized Takvaa as a human shield against a Muun guard wielding a stun baton. This resulted in Takvaa being struck by the baton, causing injuries that ultimately proved fatal.
Ethan Sacks wrote and Will Sliney illustrated Galaxy's Edge 2, a comic where Takvaa made his debut appearance.
