Tip was a Bonbrak who collaborated with Jedi Padawan Ram Jomaram in a garage located in the Jedi's residential area on the planet Valo. Among Jomaram's Bonbrak associates, Tip held the distinction of being the youngest and most irritable. Leading up to the Republic Fair on Valo in Lonisa City, Tip and another Bonbrak named Breebak secretly boarded Jomaram's transport when he and his droid, V-18, departed to examine the apparently malfunctioning communications tower situated outside the city. After Jomaram learned that Nihil pirate saboteurs had damaged the tower and V-18, the two Bonbraks emerged and repaired the droid. Upon the group's return to Lonisa City to alert the Jedi and the Galactic Republic, they found the Fair underway and were apprehended by the Valo Security Force for unauthorized entry. The Nihil then attacked Valo, resulting in widespread destruction during the fair. Tip and Breebak then went on to accompany Jomaram and V-18, alongside Padawan Lula Talisola and the young Force-sensitive individual Zeen Mrala. As a team, they re-established communication networks throughout Valo, which enabled the Jedi and security personnel to organize a coordinated defense against the offensive.
