Nedd the Wookiee was orphaned at a young age. He and his mother were captured by slavers. His mother was killed by the slavers as an example to those other slaves who dared resist their orders. Nedd was only one when he was captured, and he has no recollection of his father. He believes his father to be none other than the legendary Tedd the Wookiee, but he has no actual proof. Nedd was a slave until the age of 10 when he and the other slaves were freed.

Having no family, Nedd started hanging out with a street gang. This is where he started dying the fur on top of his head in green with purple blotches throughout his body, a look he has kept ever since. As the boys in the street gang got older they eventually became a pirate group. They "acquired" some old Y-Wings and began raiding ships. During a risky raid they were attacked by defending starfighters, and only Nedd made it out alive.

Now at age 18, he has a ship, a Mandalorian boot, but no family. He hires himself out as a goon. He is a goon for hire, and recently started working with a Gand bounty hunter in hopes to gain enough wealth to try and track down his father since he cannot return to Kashyyyk since the Empire now controls it.
