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

A Bothan male cabby piloted a landspeeder in Drev'starn, capital city of the Bothan homeworld of Bothawui, in the year 3.5 ABY. The Bothan was talkative and accurately claimed that he knew Drev'starn like the color of his fur.

He taxied a group of Alliance Intelligence operatives around town while they were on a mission there, flying them from the Drev'starn Spaceport to a Bothan hotel. As many other locals, he mistook one of them for a notorious crime syndicate member.

He flew them to a warehouse in a business district for an appointment which went bad, as one criminal faction fell for the similarity. On their way back to the hotel, they were chased by three limo-speeders, who attempted to force them off the road; they were members of a Rodian/Sullustan crime syndicate, who were also after the lookalike. The chase took them to back streets, across wide plaza strips, a park, and pedestrian walkways, alarming the local police.

That evening, the cabby drove them to the Stone Grotto across the city. He made sure to let them know about its strict dress code and offered to help them purchase the proper attire.

Around the same time, he drove trade delegates on a limo-speeder to Consul-General Pring's diplomatic estate for one of his lavish soirées. The delegates were actually Rebel operatives on their way for a defection and extraction mission. He and other drivers waited in a special lounge prepared for them, and didn't have to be scanned for weapons.
