The person in charge, or captain, of the 1729, which functioned as a supply ship for the Desolation Alley prison located on Oovo IV, experienced an unusual event. The co-pilot of the ship detected a strange reading in the starship's sensor data. The captain, recalling previous sensor issues on 1729, dismissed it as a malfunction. Upon re-examination, the co-pilot concurred with the captain's assessment of a glitch; however, the anomaly was actually bounty hunter Jango Fett, who was exploiting 1729 to sneak his ship through the shields protecting Desolation Alley.
The sole appearance of the captain of 1729 occurred within a cinematic sequence of the 2002 video game, Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, with Mel Fair providing the character's voice.
