Thasca Knarr, a Snivvian vendor, was known for his cunning and ability to get things done. His primary focus was the relentless acquisition of credits. In contrast to others of his species, he lacked any artistic inclinations. He harbored a hidden ambition: to seize control of Exovar's Emporium.
An ambitious vendor, Thasca established a shop that was somewhat permanent inside a private room of the Emporium. His Snivvian heritage provided him with ample protection against the frigid conditions of Neftali.
His scheme involved using the shop as a base of operations for taking over the Emporium, with the ultimate aim of transforming it into a hub for piracy, smuggling, bounty hunting, and slaving.
As time passed, he discreetly recruited mercenaries to assist in his planned takeover. However, he faced opposition from Redeye, the Emporium's security chief, as well as the two assassin droids, Entax and Botax.
Paul Danner and Bill Smith conceived Thasca Knarr for Wretched Hives of Scum & Villainy. This supplement, created for the Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, was released by West End Games in 1997.
His character was created to serve as an adversary for the players, who would collaborate with Emporium security to thwart Thasca's attempted coup.
