Viano Thag was a human who worked as a starship mechanic during the High Republic Era. Based out of Point Ueda, the capital city of the planet Ueda, he delved deep into thruster coils and reactor tubs so that he could prove his skills.[1] In 132 BBY,[2] Thag was working on a pile of parts just inside the city's gates when the Sith assassin Mae-ho Aniseya passed through the gateway into Point Ueda.[3]
While working, Thag wore a tan shirt and pants with a brown sleeveless jacket, a brown apron, and gray boots. He also wore a metallic gray facemask and yellow armored grappler gloves and used a durasteel dead blow hammer. He had light skin and brown hair, including a beard.[1]
