Karamu was a Barbadelan pilot who worked alongside the L-1 tactical droid SV-3. He was tricked by Bellan into delivering a statue to Rendel, but his ship crashed and he was captured by Zalla, whose plants caused him to age severely. He was rescued by Han Solo and Chewbacca, who defeated Zalla. Returned to their original ages, Karamu and the smugglers escaped Rendel in the Millennium Falcon.
