- Zuckuss and 4-LOM

Sardu Sallowe was a Tusken Raider who became a bounty hunter and excellent tracker.

Biography
Sardu was born on Tatooine to Tusken Raider parents but eventually left his home planet in search of his fortune for reasons unknown and unrecorded. He did not abandon his heritage, however, and kept both the traditional clothing worn by his people as well as the face apparatus, even though they were not necessary on most of the worlds he visited in his travels. Because of the skills he had learned from his people, Sardu quickly became an excellent tracker and an exceptional bounty hunter. In addition to this, Sardu had very keen senses which made it difficult for anyone to take him by surprise. Curiously for a member of his species, Sardu also had an entourage of Jawa assistants and was also able to speak a mixture of his own language and Jawaese which led some people to speculate that he had perhaps been adopted by a Jawa tribe after he was separated from his own people.

Sardue was approached by Embra the Hutt to find the Yavin Vassilika along with Zuckuss and 4-LOM. Together they would be a team competing against Jabba the Hutt's entry of Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Lando Calrissian and Malta the Hutt's team of Bossk, IG-88, and Dengar. The Hutts had a bet about which one could retrieve the priceless Vassilika first with a team of 3. Sardu used his Jawa contacts to monitor the other team's progress, so that he could maintain an advantage.

After following Han Solo to Mon Calamari Sardu was able to sabotage Han's teams' water skiff and guarantee that Sardue's team was the first to discover the location of the Vassilika and recover the priceless treasure. Sardu's team found the treasure, however when 4-LOM went to retrieve it, he was stopped by the natives. Sardu was then knocked out by Boba Fett with a non-lethal gas and incapacitated. The Vassilika was then swapped out by the Rebellion. Zuckuss obtained the fake treasure and gave it to Embra's contact, Farquil. This led Sardu to believe that he had won "the race", and his team received additional credits for a job well done.

Their victory was short-lived, however, as most of the money they won was spent on repairing the badly damaged 4-LOM.
