An ambitious Human male, Darcc was an Imperial officer, captain, governor, and later Moff. Originally, around 19 BBY, the Imperial served under the command of then-Moff Wilhuff Tarkin aboard his flagship Executrix. After his assignment aboard the Star Destroyer, Darcc was transferred to the forest planet of Kashyyyk, home of the arboreal Wookiees. There, he rose through the ranks of Imperial rule, eventually becoming governor of the planet.

When Emperor Palpatine met his end aboard the Death Star II, Darcc jumped at the opportunity to take over Kashyyyk. Using the vast Imperial resources at hand on Kashyyyk as well as his position as planetary governor, Darcc proclaimed himself Moff of the Mytaranor sector,and ruled from Kashyyyk. Once Moff, Darcc formed alliances with the Trandoshan slaver Pekt and the traitorous Wookiee Weebacca in an effort to rid the planet Kashyyyk of its native sentient species, the Wookiees.

Moff Darcc's rule over Kashyyyk was threatened when Chewbacca and Han Solo landed on the planet in an effort to answer a distress call and liberate the planet. Chewbacca formed forces with several Wookiee villages; these Wookiees then led an assault on Darcc's Imperial garrison and Darcc's palace, forcing the Moff to flee the planet with Pekt. Hidden on a fortress on Avatar Orbital Platform above Kashyyyk, Darcc was eventually met again by Wookiee forces, bolstered by Lando Calrissian, flying the Millennium Falcon, and Rogue Squadron, led by Luke Skywalker. This time, he was unable to escape, and died when the station exploded as a result of the New Republic's actions.
