"He's trying to say it nicely ma'am, but&hellip; he thinks the the local Alderaanians here have gone insane."

- Verlaine translates for Tivvy The male Sullustan smuggler Tivvy lived on the planet Sullust during the Galactic Civil War between the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the Galactic Empire. Shortly after the the Battle of Yavin, the Rebel Princess Leia Organa traveled to Sullust as part of a rescue survivors from her homeworld, the planet Alderaan, which had been destroyed by the Empire. Organa, the astromech droid R2-D2 and the Rebel pilot Evaan Verlaine engaged Tivvy to show them to Sullust's Alderaan Enclave. The Sullustan informed them on the way that he believed the inhabitants of the enclave to have gone insane, as they had shut off communication with the outside world. Organa then question Tivvy as to how the Alderaanians had acquired the land the enclave was built on, before they were ambushed by a squad of soldiers from the enclave. The guards demanded that the group hand over their weapons, but Organa and her Rebel companions were able to disarm them. She then made her way into the enclave without Tivvy, eventually managing to persuade the enclave members to join her in her mission.
