Legend

this being - it was believed that he was human - was one of the galaxy's best trackers, during the height of the New Order. Sardu's face was hidden beneath a heavy cloak, and was covered with a complex respirator that allowed him to discover the underlying scents of his surroundings. It was rumored that Sardu was the son of moisture farmers who were attacked by Tusken Raiders. Left to die, Sardu was taken in by a clan of Jawas and raised to adulthood. He developed his clothing to mimic the appearance of a Jawa, complete with glowing, yellow eyes and the respirator unit. This device allowed him to track his quarry by scent. Sardu was attended by a swarm of Jawa assistants, who served as information scouts to assist in his searches. He even traveled the deserts of Tatooine in a TaggeCo Survey-class crawler, a smaller version of the huge Sandcrawlers used by the Jawas. Sardu Sallowe was hired by Embra the Hutt to assist Zuckuss and 4-LOM locate the Yavin Vassilika, shortly before the Battle of Yavin.
