After the Empire subjugated his homeworld in 1 BBY, Mig, filled with regret, abandoned his position and became a wanted man. He was pursued by both the Imperial Security Bureau and Imperial Intelligence, leading him to live as a fugitive on Tatooine, where he was a regular at Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina in 0 BBY.
Yerka Mig, a male [Human](/article/human-legends], originated from the planet of Ralltiir. He enlisted in the Galactic Empire and rose to the rank of Imperial officer, also serving as a pilot. Mig, who also worked as a bureaucrat with a high level of security clearance, was still serving the Empire when his homeworld suffered subjugation in 1 BBY. Following Ralltiir's subjugation, Mig resigned as a sign of protest and fled, filled with remorse. Due to his high security clearance, he was considered a fugitive by both the Imperial Security Bureau and Imperial Intelligence, forcing Mig to live the life of an outlaw on Tatooine.
While living on Tatooine, Mig was frequently seen at Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina, located in the planet's city of Mos Eisley. In 0 BBY, Mig was present in the cantina when Obi-Wan Kenobi, a Jedi Master, and Luke Skywalker, a former moisture farmer, entered, seeking a pilot to transport them and the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO to the planet Alderaan. Mig witnessed Han Solo, a smuggler, killing Greedo, a bounty hunter, before Solo's departure from the cantina.
Yerka Mig's remorse over his homeworld's subjugation led him to flee the Empire. While living as an outlaw on Tatooine and frequenting Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina, Mig couldn't resist a smirk when Solo delivered the line "sorry about the mess" to Wuher, the bartender. He had fair skin and brown hair.
