TradingBiteyForParts-TheRecruitP2 — Bitey at the Office of Acquisition.

Bitey was one of the gorgs being sold by the Klatooinian merchant Bolza Grool aboard the Colossus during the New Republic era. The Resistance spy Kazuda Xiono had acquired the gorg as part of a deal he made with Flix and Orka to trade them lunch in exchange for used starship parts he could use to repair the Fireball for his race against Torra Doza, by promising the vendor, Grool, to put his logo on the ship in exchange for the animal. Due to how long it took Xiono, Flix and Orka were already eating lunch, but took the gorg and kept the deal anyway.^[3]

Instead of eating the gorg, Flix and Orka decided to keep him as a pet and gave him a name.
