Vedain
Vedain was a member of the Kajain'sa'Nikto race of the Nikto species of the planet Kintan. Like many of his breed, Vedain was a slave in service to the notorious underworld gangster Jabba the Hutt. Vedain worked out of Jabba's Palace on Tatooine where he served as a scout and desert skiff pilot. Four years after the Battle of Yavin, Vedain was assigned to pilot the Bantha-II cargo skiff that was to take Jabba's prisoners Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Chewbacca to the Great Pit of Carkoon, where they were to be fed to the ever-hungry and tentacled Sarlacc. Just as the execution was to take place, Luke turned the tables on his captors, brandishing a lightsaber and setting his friends free. One of the skiff guards, Tamtel Skreej, was actually Luke's ally Lando Calrissian in disguise. Lando grappled with Vedain at the rear of the skiff until a shot from a cannon blaster from Jabba's luxury sail barge, the Khetanna, forced the skiff to lurch forward. Vedain fell from the deck onto the sloping sands and was one of the first individuals to be consumed by the Sarlacc.
