Tchaka, once a student at the University of Kalla, was also a political activist. He openly spoke out against the Corporate Sector Authority. Due to his unpopular opinions, he was apprehended and incarcerated within the Stars' End correctional facility. The vanishing of Tchaka spurred his uncle, Rekkon, into establishing a network with the goal of locating the Authority's clandestine prison and liberating its inmates.
Most of Tchaka's youth was spent within the Corporate Sector because his father had accepted a position there as an entertainment software programmer. Despite the comfortable lifestyle Tchaka and his family enjoyed, his parents grew concerned by his lack of dedication to his scholastic pursuits. When Tchaka's uncle, Rekkon, relocated to the Corporate Sector to teach at the University of Kalla, he inspired in Tchaka an interest in history and philosophy, which helped to combat his apathy. Tchaka was still quite young when his parents passed away, leading Rekkon to adopt him and raise him as his own child. Rekkon, being a respected faculty member at the University of Kalla, was able to ensure Tchaka received a quality education. While at the University, Tchaka witnessed the oppressive methods the Corporate Sector Authority employed to suppress dissenters and those they considered problematic, and he publicly criticized the Authority's injustices to his fellow students.

Rekkon shared similar views with Tchaka, but believed it was unwise for his nephew to openly challenge the Authority's policies. Despite his reservations about Tchaka's actions, Rekkon felt he couldn't ask Tchaka to compromise his principles and instead decided to make what he called an "ignoble compromise"—he intended to resign from his position to divert the Authority's attention from his nephew's activities. Rekkon's concerns were justified—many University students had parents with significant influence within the Authority, so Tchaka's activism did not go unnoticed. Tchaka's critiques of the Authority resulted in his inclusion on a list of dissidents, criminals, and troublemakers compiled by the Security Division's Executive Viceprex, Mirkovig Hirken. Before Rekkon could execute his plan, Tchaka was arrested by Security Police tasked with capturing the identified dissidents. Like the others, Tchaka was transported to the Stars' End penal facility, documented in a file titled Transient Persons, interrogated, and placed in a stasis booth for preservation should further questioning be required.
Disturbed by Tchaka's disappearance, Rekkon contacted the Security Police, but realized they would not assist in locating Tchaka. Rekkon discovered others whose relatives had disappeared due to their opposition to the authority and established a network dedicated to finding the missing dissidents. Eventually, through his connection with Jessa Vandangante, an outlaw tech whose father Klaus "Doc" Vandangante had also mysteriously vanished, Rekkon enlisted the help of Han Solo, Chewbacca, Bollux, and Blue Max. With Blue Max's assistance, Rekkon finally managed to pinpoint the location of the Authority's secret prison. Rekkon was killed by a traitor before he could reunite with Tchaka, but Solo, Bollux, Blue Max, and two other members of his group, Atuarre and Pakka, successfully infiltrated Stars' End. After being rescued from the prison along with many other inmates, Tchaka was taken in by Doc and Jessa. Deeply saddened by his uncle's passing, Tchaka resolved to continue his education and pledged to honor Rekkon's memory by opposing the Authority, though in a more subtle yet effective manner.
Initially lacking motivation in his studies, Tchaka was profoundly influenced by his uncle Rekkon, who raised him as his own son following the death of his parents. Rekkon instilled in his nephew a love for history and philosophy, while also imparting his personal values: Tchaka swiftly became a passionate advocate for liberty and freedom of expression, standing in stark contrast to the oppressive Corporate Sector. However, while his uncle possessed years of experience skillfully undermining the Corporate Sector Authority without drawing attention, Tchaka lacked this hard-earned wisdom. His impulsiveness and open criticism of the Authority led to his downfall, ultimately resulting in his imprisonment. Rekkon's death deeply affected Tchaka after his release from Stars' End, but he eventually discovered a new purpose without his father figure: honoring his uncle's memory by following in his footsteps.
Tchaka's sole appearance occurred in the 1979 novel Han Solo at Stars' End, authored by Brian Daley. In Archie Goodwin and Alfredo Alcala's 1980 comic strip adaptation of the novel, Tchaka was only mentioned, and incorrectly identified as Rekkon's son— one of several inconsistencies between the comic strip and the novel. Tchaka was later given a name and his backstory was expanded upon somewhat by Michael Allen Horne in Han Solo and the Corporate Sector Sourcebook.
