Legend

this Askajian male was the leader of a group of Askajian refugees who fled the Imperial occupation of their homeworld or the deserts of Tatooine, during the early years of the New Republic. He agreed to help Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han Solo, search out a Jawa sandcrawler which they believed to contain Kitster Banai and the Killik Twilight moss-painting. His companions agreed to help out as much as they could, allowing Han and Leia to pose as drivers of dewbacks laden with supplies while Chewbacca and C-3PO were slung beneath their mounts. Borno himself was a veteran of dealing with the Empire, and continually did his best to thwart their efforts. He was also an excellent scout and guide, using all of Tatooine's natural defenses to cover his tracks. During the time he was helping the Solos, Borno was also working with Gwend to transport a group of Askajians from their homeworld after Grand Moff Wilkadon made his annual inspection tour. Leia realized that the successful recovery of the Killik Twilight would not only save the New Republic's agents, but it would also save these Askajians. This made her mission all the more important, especially after all the help Borno and his tribe gave them.
