Yarna d'al' Gargan was a female Askajian whose father was a tribal chief back on her homeworld of Askaji. Many years prior to the Battle of Endor, she was captured by slavers and transported to the desert planet of Tatooine, where the Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure bought her. One of Jabba's many slaves, she served him as a dancing girl at his palace on Tatooine, often working alongside a young Twi'lek called Oola. She was present for Oola's execution, which horrified her, and the arrival of Luke Skywalker at the palace.
