The marauder who was the pirate leader operated on the icy planet of Ilum throughout the Galactic Civil War, and he was affiliated with the Black Sun. He provided armaments to the Alliance to Restore the Republic's military groups, which were under the command of Kalast, a former Moff of the Galactic Empire. Following the discovery of pirate codes embedded in rebel blasters in the wake of the Battle of Thyferra, Darth Vader contracted Boba Fett to locate this leader on Ilum. During the Battle in the Ilum system, the Pirate interceptor frigate's propulsion systems were disabled, leading to his capture by Fett and the forces of the Imperial Navy.
