TK-830 was a human who served the Galactic Empire as a stormtrooper. While serving on the forest moon of Endor, TK-830 and the rest of their squad were captured by Ewoks. TK-830 would activate an SOS transmission in his helmet in an attempt to be rescued, but, one by one, the squad was eaten by the Ewoks. When another prisoner arrived, the scout trooper TK-814, TK-830 attempted to keep their spirits up, but eventually, only the two of them remained. Soon after, TK-814 would escape, sawing off his own finger as a means to free himself from his bindings, and he sped off into the forest, leaving TK-830 behind.
