Xufal D'uat was a Tiss'shar bounty hunter who worked in the vicinity of the planet Elrood. From his ship, the Venom Sting, D'uat made extensive modifications to the Barloz-class freighter, adding anti-intruder sensors and safeguards as well as a pair of turret-mounted quad-laser cannons. During a mission, D'uat captured an undercover Imperial officer Hamaz. D'uat agreed to set Hamaz free after writing a contract forbidding him from hunting him down. However, three years after acquiring the ship, D'uat was caught and killed by another bounty hunter who had been sent by Hamaz himself.
