The spice dealer Tach Drud ran a spice den out of a curio shop on Level 3321 of the planet Coruscant. The Coruscant Security Force was led to Drud's den after they captured and interrogated a spice-addled holo-star who cooperated in exchange for keeping their name out of the headlines. By 7942 C.R.C., the law enforcement agency had an undercover probe carrying out surveillance in the den which captured imagery of four patrons in a spiced-out stupor.[1]
The image was included in the case files of Coruscant Security Force Inspector Tanivos Exantor Divo and his grandson Exantor Divo later included it and mentioned Drud in the book Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious,[1] which he published in 34 ABY.[2]
Behind the scenes
Tach Drud was mentioned in the 2018 reference book Star Wars: Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious, which was written by Pablo Hidalgo.[1]

As the publishing must have occurred between the time of the latest entries and the destruction of Hosnian Prime, it therefore also took place around 34 ABY.
