"I'm a Captain in CorSec. Do you really think I have time to talk to you? Sorry, I don't mean to be rude, I'm just busy."

―Thale Dustrunner, to a spacer

Thale Dustrunner was a Human male officer of the Corellian Security Force who lived on Corellia during the Galactic Civil War.

Biography

"We've got the snitches badge. I want you to take it to Corellia and meet with his superiors. They likely don't know him on sight. Find out what's going on."

―Borvo's guard, to a spacer

By the time following the Battle of Yavin, Thale Dustrunner was the CorSec captain assigned to Coronet City. He was involved in a CorSec investigation against the Hutt crime lord Borvo. During the investigation, Captain Dustrunner arrested the criminal known as Aldalad for buying illegal weapons to Borvo, and convinced him to testify against the Hutt.

In 1 ABY, the CorSec investigation against Borvo the Hutt came to an end when a spacer working for Borvo murdered the infiltrated CorSec agent Niksel Frangee on Naboo. During the six years in infiltration, all of Frangee's direct superiors had retired and been replaced. Thus, nobody in the CorSec knew how Frangee looked like at the moment of his death, the spacer used Frangee's CorSec badge to pass himself off as Frangee on Corellia. The spacer met Dustrunner in the Coronet Capitol and the CorSec officer completely fell for the ruse and took the spacer for the long lost agent. Captain Dustrunner ordered the "agent" to protect Aldalad, the witness who wanted to testify against Borvo, and Maerzen, who had discovered evidence against Borvo the Hutt. The spacer killed both of them in the Riverlands, without Dustrunner suspected anything. Thale Dustrunner then asked Borvo's spy to deliver the evidence against Borvo retrieved from Maerzen to evidence storage. The spacer just left Corellia with the evidence, including Borvo's confiscated money, and brought it back to Borvo's guard on Naboo. Because of Dustrunner's ineptitude, the CorSec lost both its witness and its evidence against Borvo, making impossible to continue any investigation. Humiliated, Thale Dustrunner later issued an arrest warrant for the spacer to Imperial authorities but the spacer escaped.
