A Rodian served as a leader in the Son-tuul Pride criminal organization during the reign of the Galactic Empire. Between 3 ABY and 4 ABY, the Empire placed a bounty on the leaders of the Son-tuul Pride after they helped the criminal organization Crimson Dawn, which the Empire had declared illegal. In response, the Rodian, along with several others, traveled to the Son-tuul Spaceport where they hoped to leave Son-tuul for a safe house aboard a shuttle. One of the Rodian's underlings questioned why they needed the shuttle, adding that the Son-tuul Pride did not run, and that they should contact Yonak, another member of the organization. The leader informed the underling they were not paid to think, but to shoot whoever they were ordered too. The Rodian then addressed the underlings concerns about running by stating that you did run when a bounty was placed on your entire syndicate, and that it was every Rodian for themselves. The leader finished by stating they had a dozen of the galaxy's best fighters defending a fortress which they were to head too, and questioned whether the underling had been overreacting.
After this, another Rodian appeared and informed the leader that there was a tall figure outside the blast doors of the spaceport that had requested an audience with them. The leader had no time to respond as the bounty hunter IG-88 blasted open the doors and demanded that the leaders of the Son-tuul Pride be surrendered for their violation of Imperial law, and gave them twenty-five seconds to comply with the request or he was authorized to use terminal force. The leader threatened the droid for attacking the Pride, to which IG-88 simply repeated he had been authorized to use terminal force if they did not comply with his request, stating they now had eighteen seconds to comply. The Rodians opened fire on the bounty hunter, terms the droid accepted and began to return fire. As two Rodians were killed, the leader stated it could not end this way, as there was only one droid. The Rodian's underling then charged at IG-88, but failed and had their neck snapped by the droid. Now alone, the leader surrendered to IG-88 and reminded the droid he had promised mercy if they surrendered. As the bounty hunter shot the leader, he informed the Rodian that his offer had expired eight seconds prior.
