The Wasaka was a light freighter that had been altered; it belonged to the Wookiee named Grouaggerl.
Not long after the Galactic Empire's formation, Grouaggerl piloted the starship to the planet of Daimar as he was traveling to Kashyyyk, intending to exchange his skills for components. Nevertheless, the Empire began a blockade of Daimar, which stranded Grouagerrl there. King Mitar of Daimar put together a team tasked with finding his son, Torrin, on Byrsym; these individuals were designated to journey there aboard the Wasaka. With assistance from his newly formed crew, Grouaggerl successfully navigated the Wasaka through the blockade, ultimately arriving at Byrsym.
