Biography[]
Dealings on Mandalore[]
Because of Mandalore's neutrality, the planet was cut off from the rest of the galaxy, and had to call on smugglers for supplies, a call that Tee Va accepted.
He and his subordinates smuggled various goods to the planet, easily bribing corrupt customs officials, police and various other people in order to move about freely with his business. Among the goods Tee Va provided was Ardees Beverage tea. He added slabin to the tea to dilute it in order to make twice as much of it, and thus make twice the profit. However, this made the drinks poisonous and many children fell ill from drinking the tea. Senator Padmé Amidala and the Duchess of Mandalore Satine Kryze tracked Tee Va and his minions to the docks and put down his operation. After a firefight, he and several accomplices were taken into custody.
Zygerria[]
Later in the War, Tee Va was still active and free of Mandalorian custody. He eventually found his way to Zygerria and checked out what the Zygerrian slave market offered in terms of slaves. After that he participated in the Slave Auction held by Queen Miraj Scintel where he stood on a balcony with InterGalactic Banking Clan representative Nix Card.
Further business[]
By 20 BBY, Va and his group were once again operating on Mandalore.
Behind the scenes[]
Tee Va was voiced by actor Dee Bradley Baker,[2] who also voices the clone troopers in the series.
