- "You lose a bantha or something?"
"Yes! I was coming back from the market in Bestine when I got ambushed by a bandit. I took care of him, but my bantha got spooked by the blaster fire and ran."
"That's a big desert for it get lost in."
"I held onto the bandit's blaster. I don't have any use for it, but it is yours if you find my bantha and bring it back." - ―Kay Vess to the mechanic
A human mechanic and moisture farmer with tan skin and brown eyes operated a farm in the Desert Valley region of the Outer Rim planet Tatooine[1] in 3 ABY. That year,[2] they were ambushed by a bandit while on their way back to their farm from the market in the city Bestine with their bantha. They were able to deal with the bandit and recover his blaster, however the blaster fire had scared the bantha causing it to run away. Unable to find the bantha, the farmer returned to their farm while wearing a tan vest over a tan shirt, green pants, a matching green hat, and white boots.[1]
Later in 3 ABY,[2] the farmer met the scoundrel Kay Vess while she was passing by the farm. After telling Vess about their missing bantha, the farmer offered her the bandit's blaster if she was able to recover the missing bantha. Vess later found the missing bantha in the desert north of the farm and guided it back to the farmer where the farmer thanked Vess for her help and gave her the recovered blaster.[1]
