"At first, I hoped your transmission meant my friend has returned. But fate has brought me an even better gift. You. A vessel. One that must be wiped clean to help usher in a perfect age. And we can't have remnants of your old, flawed human self getting in the way of that destiny, can we?"
―Tarr Kligson, to Beilert Valance[1]

Tarr Kligson was a human member of the Kligson clan who operated as a bounty hunter and worked with the bounty hunter Jango Fett[1] prior to the latter's death in 22 BBY. By that year,[3] the two undertook a heist in the Outer Rim Territories, during which Kligson was injured. Kligson led Fett to the droid station The Haven, which his family had safeguarded for millennium. After they arrived, Kligson requested that the droids on the station save him, though they forced Fett to leave. Eventually the droids fixed Kligson, and he remained aboard the station.[1]

Between 3 ABY and 4 ABY,[4] as seen by a Force vision of the future shown by the Eye of Webbish Bog to the Sith Lord Darth Vader, members of the Rebel Alliance traveled to the moon after Luke Skywalker felt a disturbance in the Force that came from the moon. When they arrived at the moon, they discovered the source of the disturbance, an attack on homesteaders by the droid Ajax Sigma aboard their ship. Skywalker asked R2-D2 to plug into the ship to find out whether the homesteaders knew anything about the moon. R2 then discovered the name of the moon and informed the rebels, with Lando Calrissian remarking that he had never heard of the moon but was glad to not to be whoever Kligson was.[5]

Also between 3 ABY and 4 ABY,[6] Kligson, who also became known as a cyborg fixer,[1] allied with the Scourge to take over the station,[7] becoming its new guardian like his ancestors had done. The crew of the bounty hunter T'onga traveled to the Haven in search of Kligson so he could save their crewmember, the cyborg Beilert Valance. After they arrived, Valance was taken to Kligson, who instead of helping the cyborg, revealed his intent to use Valance's body as a vessel to "usher in a perfect age."[1] The Scourge, however, abandoned Kligson to the bounty hunters once it had taken over Valance's body.[7]

Behind the scenes[]

Tarr Kligson first appeared in Bounty Hunters 37. In the comic, his right arm is depicted with the salvaged forearm and hand of a B1-series battle droid. On his variant cover for the same issue, while the forearm is kept the same, he is erroneously depicted as possessing a five-fingered robotic right hand with sharpened tips as opposed to his B1-like hand from the comic.[1]
