Hoggon was a Human male spacer of short stature who was fascinated with the Jedi Order and its history. In 3986 BBY, he unwittingly helped war criminal and former Sith Lord Ulic Qel-Droma find a suitable world of exile—at first he suggested Yavin 4, but Qel-Droma chose to settle on Rhen Var. Immediately after delivering his client to his new home, Hoggon went to Exis Station, to witness the Jedi conclave that was taking place there. As he departed, he discovered that Vima Sunrider had been stowing away on his ship. The young girl, daughter of Jedi Master Nomi Sunrider, sought Qel-Droma's teachings, and when she showed a hologram of the man to Hoggon, he realized that it was the very same person he had taken to Rhen Var.
