Kabe is a small Chadra-Fan, abandoned by slavers in a rushed departure from Mos Eisley. She is probably one of the survivors of the Chadran disaster, an earthquake that destroyed most of an already-primitive Chadrian civilization about ten years prior to Luke and Obi-Wan’s quick departure from Mos Eisley.

Her small size, keen senses, and quick reflexes have helped to make her a very skillful thief indeed. Her large friend Muftak keeps would be prosecutors, predators, and bounty hunters away, giving her nearly free rein of the dangerous city streets.

Although very young and relatively naïve (she thinks of stealing as a game, not as a crime), Kabe is very fond of the strongest juri juice Mos Eisley’s cantinas have to offer, though even a small snifter usually causes her to pass out.

Muftak has tried to instill some pessimism and caution into Kabe, with little or no success. Only his constant vigilance has kept her from becoming bantha fodder.

Kabe’s favorite, and admittedly most dangerous, trick is to dress up as a jawa and attempt to fool newcomers into paying "service taxes" to the local (non-existent) merchant’s guild. The Jawas have since been accosted many times for a "refund" and the angry scavengers have threatened to fit Kabe with a restraining bolt one of these days.

She’s also very good at security systems and gambling, which combine to provide her and Muftak with an adequate livelihood. Young, childlike, innocent, yet surprisingly street smart, Kabe is a fun loving troublemaker to whom every scam is a game. She only gets away with so much because of Muftak’s protection, and she knows it. Still she seems as devoted to the furry giant as he is to her.

Kabe and Muftak left Mos Eisley shortly after Han Solo and Chewbacca departed the city with Luke and Kenobi. Their current whereabouts are unknown.
