Sometime between the years of 39 BBY and 36 BBY, a laborer of the Wookiee species made a voyage to the moon called Alaris Prime. The purpose of this trip was to participate in the colonization of the moon. Along with a group of other laborers, this particular Wookiee was involved in the collection of resources, including food, carbon, nova crystals, and ore. These resources were essential for supporting a base established on Alaris Prime. The Wookiee also took part in the defense of this base against an assault from the indigenous predatory creatures known as gundarks.
A Wookiee worker with brown hair journeyed to Alaris Prime, a moon orbiting the gas giant Alaris, sometime between 39 BBY and 36 BBY. This was to assist with the colonization efforts undertaken by the Wookiees. The worker, along with two additional Wookiees, went to a base to gather resources under the guidance of Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn. He was dispatched by the Jedi Council to oversee the colonization project.
The workers initiated their duties by harvesting food from muja fruit bushes located near the command center, which was the only structure present at the base. They soon accumulated sufficient food to sustain a fourth worker, who subsequently joined them. After gathering even more food, another worker arrived. Jinn then instructed the workers to practice a defensive maneuver in preparation for potential attacks by gundarks, a predatory species native to Alaris Prime. This drill involved immediately ceasing all activity and seeking refuge inside the command center. Following the completion of the drill, the worker and the other Wookiees were directed to concentrate on collecting carbon. Carbon, harvested from trees, could be processed into duraplast and utilized as a construction material.
Shortly after, Chewbacca, a leader in the colonization of Alaris Prime, arrived at the command center. Simultaneously, four gundarks attacked the base. This forced the worker and the other Wookiees to seek shelter within the command center, as they had practiced. With Chewbacca's assistance and by utilizing the building's turret system, the workers successfully repelled the gundarks, ultimately killing them. Chewbacca then explored the surrounding area, discovering deposits of nova crystals, which could serve as currency throughout the galaxy, and ore, a resource that could be refined into durasteel. The worker participated in the collection of these resources for the base.
The Wookiee worker was initially mentioned in Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds: Prima's Official Strategy Guide by Steven L. Kent, which was released on November 7, 2001. Subsequently, the worker appeared in the LucasArts video game Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, released on November 11, 2001. This worker is a character in the second level of the Wookiee tutorial campaign, "Gathering Resources," as one of the three generic worker units that the player begins with and utilizes throughout the level. This specific Wookiee is positioned directly in front of the command center at the start of the level. The player has the ability to determine the order in which the workers gather resources, therefore this article follows the order based on Qui-Gon Jinn's instructions.
