A Trandoshan was once observed within a cantina situated on the planet Lau, where he engaged in gambling by playing the card game balaans against other individuals frequenting the cantina.
Approximately around 18 BBY, Crosshair and Omega, who were clones, found themselves stranded on the planet following their escape from the captivity of the Galactic Empire. Requiring credits, they made their way to the cantina, where Omega participated in numerous balaans matches against the Trandoshan. At first, the Trandoshan did not appreciate Omega's skill, but he quickly understood that the young clone had an exceptional aptitude for the game. Even after incurring significant credit losses, the Trandoshan persisted in playing, driven by the aspiration to recoup his financial losses.
