Orun Depp served as the Imperial Prefect overseeing Mos Eisley until his demise during the Battle of Yavin. He was placed in this role by Governor Tour Aryon. In the year 0 ABY, the assassin droid known as IG-72 brought about his end. Depp had information suggesting that agents of the Alliance to Restore the Republic were located at Docking Bay 94. Pressured by Captain Parlan from the Imperial Navy, Depp himself commanded a squad of Stormtroopers with the intention intercepting these agents. However, instead of finding the agents, they encountered IG-72, which was pursuing the bounty on Adar Tallon. Driven by its objective to reach Tallon, the droid unleashed an attack on all present in Docking Bay 94, resulting in the deaths of Depp and his team. Following this event, Eugene Talmont was chosen as his successor. His death gave rise to the expression "to buy the Depp," a phrase used to describe a dramatic or spectacular demise. Sylvet was his brother. While serving as Prefect, he consumed 1,138 breakfasts consisting of poached Krayt eggs paired with Sandhawk leg.
