Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Umpass-stay was a Klatooinian male born into a life of enslavement to the Desilijic clan. He grew up on the planet Shawti, where he maintained the mud baths of local Hutt leaders. Umpass-stay became the favorite of the Hutt Shebba Kalshi Desilijic, and he became a personal bodyguard for the Hutt. His talent of judging the intentions of the people who approached Shebba proved deadly when the Klatooinian misjudged the Hutt's nephew, Jabba Desilijic Tiure. After Shebba was killed, Umpass-stay was then offered a place in Jabba's criminal empire as a spy in the Hutt's palace on the planet Tatooine.

Umpass-stay, alongside the drum master Ak-rev, performed with the Max Rebo Band when they came to Jabba's palace. In 4 ABY, the Klatooinian performed the song "Jedi Rocks" with the band just before Princess Leia Organa, disguised as the bounty hunter Boushh, arrived with her bounty, Chewbacca. After Jabba was killed by the Princess at the Great Pit of Carkoon, Umpass-stay and Ak-rev set out for the city Mos Eisley to look for work. When the landspeeder they were traveling in was waylaid by Tusken Raiders, the Klatooinian had to walk his way to Mos Eisley. Umpass-stay eventually served the Hutt Jocoro Desilijic Tiure on the planet Du Hutta.
