Altaca was a Human male nobleman of the planet Alderaan who lived during the Cold War. In 3643 BBY, he was captured by the resurgent Sith Empire and was mistakenly sold into slavery instead of ransomed as nobles usually were. He and his fellow slaves were building the Unfinished colossus when he was rescued and taken prisoner by Lady Dak-Ah. He was convinced by the Imperial that he had no way offworld and that his family would forget about him. Opposites attract and the pair fell in love, though Dak-Ah told him to pretend that he's her brother in public. His family attempted to recover him alive by placing a bounty on him as part of the Great Hunt.
