Description:
Zuckuss and the droid 4-LOM were feared bounty hunters who found the rich reward offered for Solo too tempting to pass up. The duo worked as a team. 4-LOM, the mass of sophisticated circuitry and fact-based programming that he is, is a perfect partner for Zuckuss's uncanny "hunches."

Zuckuss, a Gand "findsman" by trade, has continued certain practices and techniques of bounty hunting which have been passed-on through his family for several standard centuries. Being a findsman is a time-honored profession on Gand, and has been practiced there since the establishment of that system's totalitarian monarchy centuries in the past. Being a largely gaseous planet, the Gand civilization evolved in a series of "pocket colonies," separated by endless kilometers of thick gaseous mists.

The findsmen of Gand belong to a highly superstitious and religious sect. They worship the planet's enshrouding gaseous mists, looking to them for signs and omens that will lead them to their prey. When the Empire took over the planet's slave trade, the Gand no longer had a problem with runaways, as their sophisticated scanning equipment easily pinpointed fugitives in the mists. The findsmen, with their ancient ritualistic ways, suddenly became obsolete.

Many of them, such as the renegade Vytor Shrike, turned to other trades. After seeing what the Empire did to those he brought back to captivity, Shrike denounced his findsman trade and joined with some of the galaxy's freedom fighters. But a few findsmen decided to keep their ancient sect alive. They turned to the stars, where their special talents could be put to use.

Foremost among these highly successful, new bounty hunters was Zuckuss. Although his alien physiology requires him to wear a special breathing apparatus while away from his homeworld, Zuckuss is a tireless tracker who has, while in pursuit of quarry, braved virtually every environment and type of terrain in the known galaxy. In his travels, Zuckuss has come to be known as "the uncanny one" by his sordid peers.

Zuckuss has accumulated an impressive list of captures to go along with a list of quite a few "accidental kills." His fees are exorbitant, and it is obvious that by hiring this alien, Lord Vader was willing to spare no expense in his quest to catch a certain smuggler
