Shug was born on Corellia, but primarily grew up on Chandrila. His mother was a welder that instilled in him the belief that a ship was only as strong as its bonds. As she aged, Shug began chartering her to and from the shipyards, taking on other passengers as well, inspiring him to establish the Chandrila Charter Company, which eventually evolved into Chandrila Star Lines when Shug decided to expand into luxury starliners.
Shug Drabor first appeared in the novel The High Republic: Midnight Horizon, which was written by Daniel José Older. He was later pictured in the first issue of the comic book miniseries Star Wars: Halcyon Legacy, which was written by Ethan Sacks, illustrated by Will Sliney.
