Tarkov

Tarkov was a male Wookiee woodsmith who lived near the city of Kachirho on the planet Kashyyyk. In 19 BBY, during the Clone Wars, Tarkov stumbled upon a large Separatist invasion army while he was hunting with his son Jaccoba. Tarkov and his son then reported the Separatist presance to the nearby towns of Warralokk, Grunnrurr, and Rowrakruk. Later, when the Republic sent a large detachement of their army to protect Kashyyyk, Tarkov and Jaccoba fought alongside the Republic's forces to defend Kachirho from the Separatist invaders.

Biography
Tarkov was a Wookiee male woodsmith living near the city of Kachirho, in the Wawaatt Archipelago, on the planet of Kashyyyk. In 19 BBY, during the height of the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Tarkov took his son Jaccoba on a grantaloupe hunt. During the hunt, a wayward spear thrown by Jaccoba hit a large piece of shrubbery, making a metallic echo. When Tarkov inspected the shrubbery, curious as to why a plant would be making a metallic sound, the Wookiee discovered that the plant was actually a Separatist Multi-Troop Transport. Tarkov and Jaccoba moved to a nearby tree for safety, and as they looked down at the landscape, saw a large Separatist invasion army.

Retreating to the city of Kahiyuk, the pair alerted the nearby towns of Warralokk, Grunnrurr, and Rowrakruk to the Confederate presence. Soon after, the Republic sent a large detachement of their army, under the command of Jedi Grand Master Yoda, to reinforce the Wookiees' defense of Kashyyyk. When the Separatists launched an attack on Kachirho, Tarkov and Jaccoba were among the Wookiees who fought alongside the Republic army to repel the Separatist invaders.

Personality and traits
Tarkov was slightly curious; after Joccoba hit the disguised MTT with his spear, Tarkov scrutinized the "plant", wanting to know why it was making metalic sounds. Tarkov was also a brave warrior, willing to defend Kachirho from the Separatist invasion force.

Behind the scenes
Tarkov made his first appearance in Chapter twenty-two of the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated television series. The chapter originally aired on Cartoon Network on March 22, 2005, and was the second episode in Season 3 and the Star Wars: Clone Wars: Volume II DVD release. He was later given his own entry in the Star Wars.com Databank, which identified his name and expanded on his biography. Tarkov's Databank entry mistakenly refers to Kashyyyk as a moon.

Tarkov was named after Genndy Tartakovsky, the director of Star Wars: Clone Wars, while Jaccoba was named after Tartakovsky's son, Jacob.
