Cradossk

Cradossk was a Trandoshan male and the father of Bossk. A seasoned warrior and respected bounty hunter, Cradossk shared a rivalry with the Wookiee chieftain Tarfful, and, by the time of the Clone Wars, Cradossk's son gained a reputation for hunting Wookiees. Despite adopting Cradossk's trade, Bossk was reluctant to talk about his father with young accomplice Ezra Bridger. During the Imperial Era, Cradossk was a notable member of the Bounty Hunters' Guild, and he made a profit by providing services to the Galactic Empire.

BiographyEdit

A fearsome Trandoshan male, Cradossk was an experienced warrior and respected bounty hunter.^[1] Like other Trandoshans,^[3] Cradossk had a fierce rivalry with the Wookiees of Kashyyyk, including Tarfful,^[1] a Wookiee chieftain who fought against Trandoshan hunters.^[4]

Several years before the Clone Wars,^[5] Cradossk's son, Bossk, was born on Trandosha,^[6] the species' homeworld,^[7] and Cradossk eventually taught Bossk how to steal landspeeders. Like his father,^[8] Bossk became a bounty hunter and a renowned Wookiee hunter.^[6] In 5 BBY,^[9] during the Imperial Era, Bossk took a mission to the planet Lothal, where he hired the street urchin Ezra Bridger as a guide. When the young human asked questions about Bossk's father, the Trandoshan became annoyed, stating that fathers were "overrated."^[8]

Prior to the start of the Galactic Civil War^[2] in 0 BBY,^[10] Cradossk was a notable member of the Bounty Hunters' Guild,^[2] an institution designed to regulate the bounty hunting profession.^[11] The Galactic Empire made use of the Guild's services, and according to Captain Cassian Jeron Andor, an intelligence officer of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, Cradossk was "making a killing." Andor's statement was sent to General Davits Draven, and the transmission was recorded in The Rebel Files.^[2]
