Cheib'Kalla, a portly Twi'lek from Ryloth, existed in the final years of the Galactic Republic. He was the proprietor of the Fungus Pit, a local cantina.
Residing in Bashka on Ryloth, Chieb'Kalla managed and possessed the Fungus Pit. Harboring a strong aversion to slavers, he deliberately hired numerous young female Twi'leks at his cantina as a protective measure against them. Noric Gestal, a Gotal slaver, frequently inquired about buying the women, but Chieb'Kalla consistently declined. Upon the return of the Twi'lek Jedi Master Vhiin Thorla to Ryloth, Chieb'Kalla became affiliated with him.
During the Clone Wars, Gestal, accompanied by approximately two dozen other slavers, launched an assault on the Fungus Pit, only to be thwarted by the Heroes of Cularin. Subsequently, Chieb'Kalla expressed his gratitude to the heroes, who revealed their search for Thorla. Initially hesitant to assist them in locating the Jedi Master, Jacynith, one of his Twi'lek employees, volunteered to guide them to Thorla. Despite Chieb'Kalla's initial reluctance, she eventually convinced him to permit her to lead the heroes to the Jedi Master's location.
