The Chubby Gundark was a SoroSuub Transport Systems Nyubba-class cargo barge driver owned and operated by SoroSuub Corporation during the Galactic Civil War. Assigned to the corporation's Transport and Supply Division, the vessel was captained by the Sullustan Bungo Bung, who crewed the ship alongside his droid co-pilot 42-RST. Capable of holding cargo barges to the fore and aft of its central section, the Chubby Gundark held the record for carrying thirteen barges in formation with an uncontrolled landing over a distance of thirty-five parsecs.
Sometime during the Galactic Civil War, the Chubby Gundark became the only vessel to make the Great Bantha Breakfast Biscuit Run between the planets Sullust and Gastrula in the Outer Rim Territories, transporting Bantha Breakfast Biscuits manufactured by the restaurant chain Biscuit Baron. During what would prove to be the final trip on the Run, the Chubby Gundark was almost destroyed by a mutant lifeform known as a Giant Amorphous Bantha Breakfast Biscuit. The creature, hatched from the preservatives contained in the foodstuffs mixed with the stale air in the Chubby Gundark hold, attempted to eat the ship. The quick reaction of Bung, who figured out that the lifeform's weakness was the blue sauce that accompanied the Bantha Breakfast Biscuits, saved the ship. With one crate of biscuits left, Bung allowed his vessel to be detained by the Imperial-class Star Destroyer commanded by Captain Wankle, an Imperial official of whom Bung had run afoul before. Wankle confiscated the last crate of Bantha Breakfast Biscuits, but Bung regretted to inform the Captain that there was no blue sauce to accompany it.
