A smuggler operated on the world of Coruscant not long after the Galactic Empire annihilated the planet Alderaan in 0 BBY, an event referred to as the destruction. This smuggler was vouched for by an Alderaanian family friend of Anandra Milon, who assured Milon and her younger brother, Santigo Milon, that the individual could provide them with a transport to flee Coruscant and evade the Empire. The Empire had initiated the arrest of Alderaanians after their homeworld was destroyed. Nevertheless, the smuggler departed Coruscant without the Milon siblings, because the pair arrived at Level 2142, their agreed-upon rendezvous point, two days behind schedule.
Alexander Freed mentioned the smuggler in his short story, "One Thousand Levels Down," featured in Star Wars Insider 151, released on July 22, 2014. Within the narrative, Milon inquires about a Centax-3 shipment while situated on Level 2142. The story does not explicitly state whether this shipment is connected to the smuggler.
