Talandro Starlyte was most famous for renting the Gateway Space Station from the Galactic Empire, which he renamed Starlyte Station. His various criminal enterprises were for the most part overlooked by the Empire. This was due to the large bribes he gave to the station's Imperial Liaison, Lieutenant Arissa Fawn.

Before he acquired the Starlyte Station, he spent time working in Cloud City, where he met Scizzic, whom he hired to repair the space station. During his time on Bespin he was also rumored to have done some business with Lando Calrissian.

Although he was willing to deal with almost any criminal, he steered clear of Imperial or Rebel operations.

Most of the slaves were turned over to the Twi'lek Dahz Thulaka who conducted illegal experiments on them. The ones he could not used were sold to the Karazak Slavers Cooperative.
