Akko was a human male smuggler who led a small gang. He worked with Han Solo and Chewbacca in a scam on Garel, and later encountered them on Balnab shortly after Solo assisted the Rebel Alliance with the Cyrkon Extraction. Akko convinced Solo to help him smuggle spice to Troiken, but they were discovered by the Galactic Empire, who forced them to hand over the credits they had received.
