Ellor was a Duros smuggler who worked for Billey. He joined Talon Karrde's Smugglers Alliance to fight against Grand Admiral Thrawn after Imperial troops raided a smuggler meet on Trogan. Ellor had ties to some Duros repair yards which were employed by the New Republic, and on one occasion "borrowed" a pair of Republic DP-20 gunships for use in a raid against Thrawn's shipyard at Bilbringi that he helped Mazzic orchestrate.
