Unidentified Drabatan (Hidden Hand)

A Drabatan was a member of the criminal syndicate known as the Hidden Hand in 1 BBY. The leader of the syndicate—the Tarsunt Gwi—organized a group of bounty hunters led by the cyborg Beilert Valance with the intention to kill the Imperial Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader. The plot was foiled and Vader informed Valance that the Hidden Hand was once a raider group from the planet Chorin that attacked his village years earlier. Valance traveled to the Hidden Hand asteroid base where he was captured by the Drabatan and two other syndicate members after discretely placing a homing beacon on a rock.

The Drabatan led Valance to the entrance of the base where the Drabatan told the bounty hunter he "had a good run" but that it was over. Gwi was revealed to Valance as the leader of the syndicate and the Tarsunt thrashed the hunter for his betrayal. When Gwi readied their blaster to kill Valance, Vader arrived on the asteroid and ordered his stormtroopers to eliminate the syndicate. The Drabatan was killed in the ensuing chaos and Gwi was captured by Vader.
