Yoxgit was an Ugnaught in the employ of Huttese crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure during the Galactic Civil War. Hailing from Bespin, he was an employee of A'roFilter on Cloud City, but he found the income to be paltry, and entered into a criminal trade with the Baragwin Hermi Odle, a weapons technician for Jabba. With his ill-gotten gains, he purchased an upper city apartment, new clothes, and a new vehicle, distancing himself from the working class. When, in 3 ABY, the Galactic Empire took over Cloud City, Yoxgit realized that he would no longer be able to enjoy his new lifestyle, and he chose to leave Bespin for Tatooine, Jabba's seat of power.

There, Odle hired him to maintain Jabba's security systems and observe the movements of the Baragwin's nemesis, Pote Snitkin. So proficient was the Ugnaught at his work that he found his way into Jabba's favor, and was invited to witness the execution of three prisoners at the Great Pit of Carkoon from the sail barge Khetanna. Unfortunately for Jabba and Yoxgit, the prisoners were able to escape, and turn the tables on the crime lord's guards. Chaos erupted at Carkoon, and Jabba was slain by Leia Organa, a friend of the prisoners. Yoxgit prepared to kill Organa, believing that by doing so was the only way he could keep himself in a manner to which he was accustomed, thus currying favor with Jabba's successor. He was foiled when one of the prisoners, Jedi Luke Skywalker, destroyed the Khetanna, killing the Ugnaught in the process.
