Freck

Freck was an affable Condluran who worked as a transport driver for the Galactic Empire on the mining planet Mapuzo, his homeworld. Aligning with the Empire, he gained rapport with the local stormtroopers. In 9 BBY, the driver came across the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and the youngling Leia Organa, who went under fake names and were trying to find a spaceport. The alien offered them a ride in his FMR-385 cargo speeder and drove them toward a port, conversing with the pair and transporting some stormtroopers along the way.

The transport soon reached an inspection point, where Freck advised the stormtroopers on duty to check out his passengers. After the troopers did a scan of Kenobi, he attacked the soldiers, using Freck as a shield to shoot one of them. The Jedi then incapacitated the Condluran and escaped with Organa.
