Tharrorr is a 150 year old Wookie.  He was born on the Wookie home world of Kashyyk about 120 years before the clone wars.  Little is know of his early life, except that he was a hunter of many of Kasyhyyk's dark Wroshyr trails.  He also had volunteered as part of a Wookie security team to watch the off worlder's who came to trade in Kashyyk's main cities.

When Kashyyk was invaded during the clone wars by the armies of the separatists, Tharrorr answered the call to arm's and served under General Quinlan Vos.  Like many of the Wookie's, Tharrorr was at a loss to why the clone's turned on General Voss and was unable to assist him.  Shortly after the Separatists defeat and the Formation of the Empire, there was a Jedi rebellion on Kashyyk, during this rebellion Lord Vader showed up and defeated all the Jedi, for the Wookie's failure to assist the Empire they were regarded as traitor's.  Much of Kashyyk was bombarded from space, during this bombardment Imperial Slave ship's were sent to the surface to gather worker's for Tarkin's project.  Tharrorr was one of the many wookie's captured during these raids.

He would spend the next 17 years of his life a Slave to Empire. He was forced to Help construct to Imperial's feared Weapon the Death Star.  Shortly before completion he decided to try and sabotage one of the reactor cores, wishing to die rather then remain a slave.  One of the imperil overseer's found his sabotage.  Tharrorr was presented in front of the rest of his Company of fellow slaves.  The Coronal then selected 100 wookies from Tharrorr tribe and had them executed in front of him as a lesson to the rest of the workers.

The Coronal wanting to see Tharrorr suffer had him placed on a outgoing Corvette full of Rebel prisoner's and traitor's to the Empire.  The Corvette was bound for a Hard Labor Camp on Tatooine....
